I like the photo, especially the detail of the fence in the foreground
and the textures of the mountain and the grass, but I hate the title.

Hi Annsan
I think it's an amazing shot. Almost 3D - the mountain pops out compared to
the sky! Not an ordinary postcard. Maybe it really is art!

Emne: The Clifford Ross photo - Yeah, but is it art?
Sigh...
In the middle of the night I was wakeful and
turned on my bedside radio to
NPR - the replay of Leonard Lopate's inerview with
Clifford Ross was on.
This morning, a friend sends me the link to the
site showing the photo.
It pisses me off.
This guy took a year to make this kinda pretty but
rather ordinary postcard photo
a 5 x 10 foot print?
(1) Looks better to me with a good chunk trimmed
off the bottom
(2) surely the mountain has a name. Couldn't he
tell us what it is and where
the photo was taken? (my first guess, not
doing and research really
was Mt. Shasta.
(3) Ross stresses that he is doing this for art's
sake - yet to me it is
mainly a technical tour de force.
Anyone else have a simliar reaction? (Or the
oppoiste?)
