Here is a sinister tree of my own. It has no emotive value to me.
By the paint by numbers aproach, I mean that we take a scene and make it conform to an established pattern in our head, compositionally, like a Nikon slr does with matrix light metering. That is different to taking the same picture over and over untill it feels just right.
Ken, to me your photograph feels of dignity. Heroique's polaroid makes me feel slightly uneasy, almost hunted, so their examples are better than anything I can offer.
Also I think that what we are talking about here has no relationship with propoganda whatsoever, but rather truth. The truth hurts, it is an emotive thing and I think people with some common ancestral culture have a similar reaction to what could be considered 'universal truth'. Some emotion that we have felt, in common.
Thank you for your replies.
David
