Thanks for the link. Some very nice work, although, as I continued on
through the gallery I began to feel that the technique was leading to
a certain redundancy. The fact that it was all done in camera is quite
remarkable, but I don't think it makes it superior to the same type of
thing done in post. Either method requires skill and vision. Doing it
in camera is certainly much more difficult. To my mind that doesn't
necessarily make it better. And in that it probably took a long time to
master this one technique, it might even encourage repetition. But I
find the work interesting and artistic in any case.

It should be and I expect that you'd apply this to most photography as
would I.
However many "artists" seemingly don't feel this way. On the weekend I
saw some
art that was interesting but not stunning and a web address was pretty
prominently displayed on the works so I of course I decided to check
out the
site. Each to their own I guess but the attitude of this particular
artist and
his merry band of supporters is contrary to my perspectives.
You can see it at: http://www.renatogrome.com/ (beware it's a flash
site)
Specifically check out the last paragraph in the "Artists Statements"
