I warmed by the stove with a Laphoaig (my go-to). BTW: This wasn't nearly as epic as some of my others- this was shot from the end of my driveway. (but I had the Laphroaig anyway) Date: 04/06/20 09:20 Re: Artsy, yes- but is it Art? Author: tomstp Looks like a "red-light " district to me.
Date: 04/06/20 10:05 Re: Artsy, yes- but is it Art? Author: railstiesballast I can say that that image certainly captures the impression of the scene, without too much detail to distract from the core focus of attention.
It seems much of the best art does that, draws the eye toward a primary focus, then gives some supporting details, then has a simple background. Lots of RR photograpy does that with perhaps the best example being a panned shot of a moving train with the background blurred. Keep 'em coming. Date: 04/06/20 12:35 Re: Artsy, yes- but is it Art?

Author: RRBMail "Art is the expression of self" and if the "art work" has an practical use, like a hand-thrown ceramic rice bowl, then it is a "craft". Seems to me that the photo in question would qualify as art, if that was the intent of the photographer--or so I would say given my life-time college teaching credential in art.)

Date: 04/06/20 20:23 Re: Artsy, yes- but is it Art? Author: DD40 Hitchcock I can agree on. The first thing that popped into my mind was "The Shining".
