My last pumkin

I have a trail of images on the way..that is what i am thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. (Even though i think the holiday is based on pure bs, and in reality, pretty sick)

To be honest sq, i am dying..i had a heart attack six months ago and it damaged me pretty bad..i see talent in people and i am trying to push. Life is short and i would live for more people to see the artistc side of life. It is beautiful, and every sunrise is different. All that read here...; i went off on a tear in hopes to grab a more than normal following..(for the wrong reasons).. but now that we are all here, i simply hope to leave one thought in mind. Keep photography in its artform..so many people can shoot pretty images today with advances in technology, but only the artist can mean something. This is the whole reason i came here is to hopefully pass that along.
And please check out my inspiration and truly great artist craig rhodes.

Sorry,

For my typos..im on phone, and hate txting

I understanlld that some art, in every form is, and can get ridiculously overpriced simply from the name
Ive seen it, but in general, the artist with the inflated name has one for a reason. I wouldn't want to strip that away by generalizing.
i want you and i to go out together on a shoot because i feel i would hain something if we did. I would appreciate ot if you critiqued my last three images.

Well i hoped that would be a Thanksgiving post, but i need squirl033.

Squirl, can i add one more train of thought? Well, you know me and i will; you mentioned lik's photo was out of focus and oversaturated. Now, i promise you that i have never seen the image before. Do you think for a second that he missed his focus? Was a mistake, and he chose to make it public anyway? How did i, within seconds identify the image that is sought after? I have been to places like this..you better get there an hour before sunrise, or you will miss the morning light as many people wait in line to set up their tripods and make this image. Same thing..over and over. Yes, very nice beautiful images, but where is the originality? , the art?..my point is simple..its simply not there. You seem bitter and dismiss famous photographers ability to capture something special to "genius self-marketing hype"..with that said, i can see that you are a very good photographer, better than me, but i sense you are bitter and need a jolt to tune back in...okay, now bash away, but my opinion was stated.(i wasnt going to say that).

A

Additional note, all three images above taken with minolta xd11 and 24mm rokkor. Fuji velvia 100 and kodak tri-x on #2&3. Developed by a good friend and teacher.
I am ok with them, but "bent" is better.(with the exception of #3.
maybe).

Very familiar ..and thank you

No sorry, i never go to that festival ..it just seems kind of odd to me.

Squirrel, i really dont see why to "get me off the hook" and gain rights to critique, i need to post some more of my work. As i already stated, i. Am proud of the first two images i posted. How about viewing my gallery and looking at some of my paintings? Wouldn't that be good enough? Anyway... hope you like these better.
