You seem to have an overweening desire to prove what a sophisticated critic you are. Probably stems from a deep seated sense of poor self image. Now, I admit to being. Rank beginner at photography. I never claimed to be anything else. But it does happen that I am a well known artist in my particular field. I fail to understand hey that should bother you. Except that it may threaten your childish insecurities. I may well be a "well known plumber", or a "well known street sweeper". What difference does it make to you?

And I don't much give a rat's ass whether you "stand by" your comments or not, since I don't attach any credence to negative commentary. Constructive criticism has value...sniping? Not so much. But I do "stand by" my comments....you are still a jerk. And probably a "well known jerk". If you don't like my images, for christs sake don't look at them. Just go away.

Guilty on all counts.

Har, har, har! 😄😄

My, my...have I offended your grace in some way?

I admit to having a terrible memory for what I have and/or have not posted. If I have repeated myself, and you find that bothersome and my images mediocre .... I have a suggestion.

Don't look at my "stuff". And take your negatively oriented commentary and go pound sand with it, jerk.

I'm often criticized for calling my work my " stuff"...can't see that it matters what I call it, myself. I was asked about that during filming of "A Painter's Story"....a documentary film of my life so far. I'm often confused by folks reactions to seemingly minor things such as that. It seems that since I'm a well known artist, I'm expected to have a certain gravitas about the work. By some folk, that is....

Shots of a sculpture made from scrap ship's propellers. Huge things of cast bronze. I'm attaching a photo of the sculpture in situ.

Thanks. I'm primarily a painter, and the paint juices seem to run over into the photos. :-)

But I'm learning, and this forum is really helpful.

Wow! Thank you so much for your comments.

1. I'm not yet practiced at posting in this forum, I will re-post and check the "store original".

2. I did considerable post processing.

3. All shots are hand-held.

4. I am experimenting with a new APP..."Warmlight"...a photo editor. Fun, but needs work. (Me!)

Thanks again.

I'll welcome any constructive analysis/feedback.

Thanks.

Good eye! Very good eye. I enjoyed seeing this and your compsitive sense enhances that even more so.

I would like to see even more of your work"

They aren't shot with those big brown eyes, unfortunately.

This little rabbit had a distinguished career as the logo for the White Rabbit Press during the late 1950's and early '60s. The WRP was a collaboration between Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Spicer, and Robin Blazer.... "Beat" poets of the first water, all. I had the distinct pleasure of limning the little fella after a design by another SF area poet whose name escapes me.

The term Beat really did a serious disservice to some serious writers. It was, after all, just a sobriquet invented by a journalist from the New York Times book review. It has absolutely no meaning when it comes to literature in general and poetry in particular.

Such is life. Even a Beat life!
