CAMERA VAN - Strange - Interesting - Sad
Apr 2, 2018 12:48:33 #
SPARK FESTIVAL Of Creativity which was held at The Mesa Arts Center Arizona had some rather unique exhibits. The title of the whole exhibit was ART in MOTION, with various cars decorated artistically with many different themes. One in particular that I thought you Hogs might like to see was the CAMERA VAN. An entire van decorated in real cameras. At first I thought how unique, how interesting, but then I felt a kind of sadness. Every camera that I have ever owned was stuck on this vehicle as expression of art. My old cameras are like old friends, or work mates so to speak, I still have most of them, and there were their brothers and sisters stuck on this van, as well as Light meters, and filters. Some of them were really expensive in their day. I fully appreciate the amount of work and expense it must have taken to create this piece of art, but I still felt a bit of sadness. What do you think?

I understand your comment and I don't disagree, but this is art to someone ---------- I guess!

I can fully understand your sentiment. My cameras are like family to me. Some have been with me for 60+ years. Some are that old. I'd never do that with anyone of them.

Ok let me clear that one up. I certainly didn't mean to offend you and I don't think that you are offended.
I do want to say thank you for the posting otherwise we would never have know about this...
And, you are correct, to someone this is art! But in my day I have seen some pretty bad stuff called art.
This one is not that bad but, I stick to my guns, it is ugly...

Art has it's bad side too. To me its like someone had too much time on their hands and too many old cameras taking up space in the house. One day his wife said, "Do something with them or I throw them all out." Hence he had this old van needing a repaint just sitting in the driveway and he said to himself, "Why not!"

I didn't see a Nikonos on the van. It must leak like crazy when he washes it.

It is art - but as stated above, I still have all my cameras. Why? because they are like family and no one ever throws out their outdated hardware. So, my collection will continued to be stored, then looked at from time to time, then given to my son, who will store them, and dust them off, etc. I don't really condone covering a van with them, but in one strange way, they are being used again.

I guess someone who's paranoid about privacy and about who's watching them
when they're out in public would have a stroke seeing this monstrosity come
rolling down the road!
