I think Pictorialism was the only school to ever honestly, overtly go on a romantic journey in search of real magic in photography.
As good a definition as any...

This 'n that.
2 roads to the same place. Some who are empty, try to make a big spiritual journey with massive depth and hidden meaning and voices from within and without and myths and fables and and and; other folks just go out and have fun making pictures.
Thanks to the folks who said nice things about the bullet hole image. Rudi was with me when I made it. I wasn't going to get the camera out of the car again but he inspires! Fun to shoot with someone once in a while.

Critiques always welcome...
Nice shot David, I think this meets the aesthetic, to me. Rather than discussing and defining pictorialism in words , I'm glad people are posting their interpretations, photographically. I hope we see more, and I encourage interested people to look at the flickr group I linked above. There are some amazing modern pictorialist photographers out there that we'll never see if we just look here.

Kenilworth is one of the hidden gems of DC. The neighborhood around it is pretty rough, and so as a non-local you'd NEVER stumble upon it, as it is located firmly in Southeast DC, an area tourists are strongly enjoined not to visit. That said, on any given warm summer day it is thronged with photographers going crazy for the giant water lilies and lotus blossoms.
