Re: PESO - wake up call

Like me, Andy Warhol (Andrei Warhola) was born a Rusyn-American. He was nothing in not unique. I strive for uniqueness, but photographically and otherwise, fall short. On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 2:04 PM, Bob W-PDML wrote: > > http://tinyurl.com/hlo4as3 > Dan Matyola

I guess I better back off the B filters then. Hopefully that will shrink my shrink bill. ;) On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 3:56 PM, Bob W-PDML wrote: > Be careful - there might be a shrink lurking... > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37218059 > > B > >> On 30 Aug 2016, at 21:41,

Re: PESO - wake up call

Speaking of Warhol, sometime back I played with the cartoonish and distortion setting on my K5 with a pic I had just taken. The result was this "warhol-ish" image I posted: https://www.instagram.com/p/1XGQu1OSMS/?taken-by=rgonzomatic=en On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 12:20 PM, John

Warhol's may not be unique from other Warhol images, but they're unique from NON-Warhol images. On 8/29/2016 2:04 PM, Bob W-PDML wrote: On 29 Aug 2016, at 18:33, Daniel J. Matyola > wrote: On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 1:09 PM, Bruce Walker

Re: PESO - wake up call

I also like this from the essay: "Perhaps this is the motive at the heart of the desire to take images – the record of a constant crossing between feeling and thinking." This, to me, speaks to not just Sieff's motive, but to photography in general which is very precise, scientific and technical

Re: PESO - wake up call

I greatly enjoy Clergue's nudes. He seems to have pretty much invented the style of superimposing highly contrasting lines -- as from hard light through a venetian blind -- over the nude form. He also puts me in mind of Bill Brandt with his tightly framed bodyscapes. Sieff's style differs

Re: PESO - wake up call

I think it's a human thing. Here's a strange thing. I'm piecemeal reading a book at the moment, called Les Rencontres de Lucien Clergue (https://www.amazon.fr/Lucien-Clergue-ses-rencontres-Photographies/dp/2862344451). I wanted to write that it was Les Rencontres de Jeanloup Sieff, but

Re: PESO - wake up call

Jonvelle shares his fondness for bottom curves with Jeanloup Sieff, another great Frenchman. I wonder if it's a French thing, or is it continental Europeans -- Italians, Spaniards -- in general? In keeping with the spirit of the theme I shall be exploring the rear view extensively myself.

Re: PESO - wake up call

I suspect that could be a fairly successful series - I look forward to seeing it. I say this because when I looked at your photo The first thing that came to mind was Jane Birkin, and that whole sixties, South of France look. I've never heard of Jonvelle before (sounds like a man-made fibre
