So did one of my fovotire paintings, Hip, hip, hurra! I have seen it exibited with the photographs as well: http://www.skagensmuseum.dk/dk/udstilling/tidligere/privatliv/side%205/ Further more, many golden age Dutch painters used lenses and light in order to project images of people on to the canvas on which they painted! So the limit between painting and photography is not really too clear. Regards

Like most tools the results depend upon the user as much as on the tool. BTW, Norman Rockwell's paintings all started out as photographs. No he did not paint over photos. He used the photos, shot in his studio, as references to paint from. I guess you could say his people paintings were still lifes of photographs <grin>. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Bob W wrote: > it all depends on whether you think the camera is a picture-making > tool, or a recording device. > > -- > Cheers, > Bob > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >> Behalf Of Jens Bladt >> Sent: 12 July 2006 23:16 >> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> Subject: RE: Bad taste >> >> To me: >> All images are abstractions (of reality or imaginations) - it >> IS NOT real >> life. >> So, I don't see anything wrong in making images with all kind >> of tools, >> bruches, chalk, coal, film, CCD's, computers etc. >> Adding or subtracting to/from "the real thing" is a statement. > Images >> without a statement are poor communication. >> Making images is communicating - like using a language. >> >> Nevertheless - IO have been trying to redo the effect-iamge >> in a larger >> format.
