On-line group critique thread ideas?

[Bernice Loui]

All back to the definition of "beauty".... What might it be_?_

That ol'e "Beauty is in the EyE of the beholder" absolutely applies here.. this directly connected to why critique is often more projection of an individuals personality, who they might be, what their preferences might-are, and more.

Can an individual be "schooled" or "educated" in what is defined as beauty, sure.. keep this image in mind...


Another way, simply accept and enjoy the images crated by members of the human family for what they are.. instead of imposing critique with the goal or intent of conformance of what some _._._._._ has "defined" as "acceptable"..

Do we have to take a course to see beauty?

I've outlined my thoughts above - these principals are the same regardless of status - they apply to amateurs as well as professionals. If you are unwilling to go beyond the boundaries of this forum, and unwilling to share more than a superficial reason for choosing what, and why you photograph, you will never learn much about artistic expression.

One person's MEH is another person's WOW. Very subjective IMO.

Perfect answer Bernice!

A great difficulty with art which easily encompasses entire photography era

is creative failure by emulation

what is new under our Sun

art is mark...

I prefer spoken story, never recorded

acting

I call them Bar Stories, told when I was sober, 3 quick shots in

each told quickly, designed for a lost soul

vaporware

in response my local bar honored me with chalk drawing
