The more you get into photography/art the more you start appreciating different stuff. Im trying to make that transition, its not just about looking for a photo. Sometimes you have to appreciate whats behind it. There are some things I just cant get into though.


I fukk with Jackson Pollock though, something like this goes for millions of bucks.

you'll start appreciating more complex concepts the more you delve into the art breh trust me

I get all that, but for example...

together_we_shall_heal (for_flickr_friends sooc) | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I look at something like this... then I see the comments, and I'm like...

:dwillhuh:

Art is art, I know, but some stuff is just over my head I guess. If it weren't for the explanations that are given I wouldn't have the slightest idea what some of these photographs are setting out to be or envision.

That's the crazy part though.

I don't think dude even puts his stuff in any groups (unless you can hide them). He just has a huge following

People like some pretty abstract shyt on flickr. Sometimes I just don't see the vision of some of these photos I view on here but they have like 100 favorites and shyt.

:wow:


don't stress it man...gotta realize there's an audience for everything. Do what you do and people'll catch on.

No man there are discussion threads in group where you post your pic and get comments. You have to comment on other peoples as well.

Check it out....you get the chance to see other peoples work and get feedback on your own stuff.

I have a couple of concept photography I did I gave up on though. Because I couldn't execute it the way I envisioned it in my head. I upload some later
