Famous photographers given the 'Flickr' treatment

Reading this blog post I couldn't help but get the same feeling I get sometimes when browsing Flickr, especially some of the 'critique' groups. My person favourites are the Bresson, and the authors sig from the William Eggleston one ("George Spelvin [Nikon D200, Nikon D70s backup, 17-35 f/2.8, 80-200 f/2.8, 4GB Microdrive (2), Photoshop CS, Epson 2200]" - classic!)

warm cellophane, originally uploaded by a Canticle.

'a Canticle' has my undying admiration for her work, and her persistance in the face of continued 'delete's in submitting her pictures to the delete me groups.

I have to say that none of them are what I would call stunning photographs, they are more very interesting works of art created from mutliple photographs (somehow, not entirely sure how she manages it).

So here's a resurrection in the name of persistence, purity of your art, seeking your vision and loads of other wanky ways of saying that no-one gets the crap you produce :)

Do you seek perfection in your photos? Do you only like photos that you consider to be perfect? What is your criteria for a 'good photo'?

Sometimes I like a photo on a simply emotional level - even if the photo has imperfections. Sometime I maybe don't see the imperfections that others see, or they don't detract from a photo.

This, and many other things is after all the purpose for this blog.

This photo fascinates me. I love the light and the expression - something is going on behind those eyes but she's not letting on what she's thinking.

Rocky Horror Show at Central Station Metro

2006-05-25T10:59:00.000+01:00

Rocky Horror Show at Central Station Metro, originally uploaded by Pig Sty Ave.

Pig Sty Ave's work investigates the nuances of surveilance cameras through the use of jumpcut motion and close-ups which emphasize the Symbiotic nature of digital media. Ave explores abstract and interpretive intervention in juxtaposed scenery as motifs to describe the idea of infinite artifice. Using assigned correlations that may or may not be there, dependent upon the amount of absinthe the viewer has consumed loops, non-linear narratives, and allegorical images as patterns, Ave creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of space.

That says it all really :)

OK, 3 things.

1) I like this image - OK, I admit it; I'm a huge orang-utan fan, so it’s resurrected. And in my book cute can be good.

2) I watched a program on the Palm Olive industry in Borneo on BBC the other day. It is heartbreaking - the world is being irreconcilably changed for good and the Palm Oil industry has a lot to answer for. A lot of the time they don't even plant the pal olive trees, they just cut down the forests to sell the wood as lumber.

3) I didn't find this photo through my usual channels (deleteme10 tag searches mostly), instead I found it via a Flickr Favourite Browser App. It really is a wonderful way of finding new photos based on the ones you've marked as favourites.

He's Saving Up For a New Guitar..., originally uploaded by Pig Sty Avenue.

Welcome to a New Year, and a new resurrection. This is a photo by my friend Gary. I tried to save it (I think this is the first photo in this bog I have actually voted on) but for some reason people say imperfections.

To my mind it captures the essence of busking brilliantly. The expanse of tiles in the foreground profiling the lonelyness of the busker, the store in the background showing where he one day hopes to be (buying presumably). But in the mean time he just practises and prays.

What I really meant to ask was: Was he any good?

I love watching old b&w films from the 40s and 50s, humphrey bogart et al. They make smoking just so cool its almost unbarable (Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not springs to mind).

Anyway, I love this photo cause it reminds me of the good times, without in any way affecting my lungs (even if I breath deeply).

I picked this photo as the best. Its such a simple photo, but well captured, and I like it.

Wow. This photo illustrates the dangers of submitting your photo to the delete me groups. Its been submitted to both. The original Delete Me group got rid of in short shift, 10 deleteme's and no saves.

The Uncensored group loved it, 10 save without a single delete.

How can this happen? Is it just chance, personal preferences, who saw the photo first? Who knows.

Its a classic example of 'panning' - following a subject with the camera, keeping it in the focus and sharp while blurring the background. [Link]

In order to make my life easier, Ngudu Brown has created a wonderful set full off his deleteme10 photos. How kind.

I chose this one for a couple of reasons. I like the expression, and the hand, I think the face says a lot. I also like the colors, very gentle shades of grey. I'm also going through a 'portrait' phase, judging by the last choice as well, and I just created a portrait set in my own stream, something I thought I'd never manage to do (never thought I'd have enough portrait shots).

Update: thanks to itoldyouthat for a link to the subjects web site. Its in some foreign language so I'm not sure whats going on half the time, but looks cool. I like the riverbank project.

I'm finding the process of finding photos for this blog to be a very interesting journey.

I've taken this photo from a search for photos which have the deleteme10 tag, and the saveme9 tags, i.e. those that where very close calls. It certainly provides a selection of very high quality images, and there's bound to be something in there that most people think should have been saved.

Why did I choose this one? I don't know - I was in the mood for a moody shot, and she fitted the bill successfully.

Now this one got 5 saves, vs the good old 10 deletes. Personally I think, given how picky some people can be, and how you get so many people who like different things in these groups, that 5-10 is a pretty good ratio. I got 5-10 on my first photo and I didn't even think it was that good :)

This one has some wonderful qualities I just love, the light and the action work well, the body is well composed and at an interesting angle. The lamp and the boy both add interest and detail to the background that make the photo more whole.

Modern Art

2005-11-29T17:11:00.000Z

Modern Art, originally uploaded by Urban Disturbance.

Modern art eh - some people just can't understand it, think its a complete and utter waste of space. Why pay thousands of pounds for two halves of a cow, or a row (3 high) of red bricks...

Personally I'm a big fan of some modern art, if it inspires, or forces you to question things, especially yourself and your reaction to it. Not all of it works, and sometimes I get the impression people try to hard to like something even if they don't like it, but thats just me.

Such could be said of this pile of white cubes. I've seen a few photos of this recently, but I like this one even if I'm not sure about the art.

I wonder if the women in the foreground is part of the art, or maybe they are actually cubes of ice and she's just a very cold museum worker. The people in the background are obviously 'getting into' this piece of art, almost literally.

It is quite grainy in its larger views (and yes, the women does have some splodges on her cheek, but hey, she just looks cold to me) but I don't care. There is enough detail in the cubes, which I think are the most important thing about this photo anyway.

It didn't get a single save, which I can't understand. Resurrected!

Its no suprise to those who know me that I'm a big fan of abstract/minimalist/monochromatic stuff like this - it just appeals to me for some reason.

This photo draws me in. I have to wonder what the two men are doing. I imagine that they are actually artists, about to use the white canvas before them for a stupendous work of art.

To be fair, this one was a close one, 9 saves vs 10 deletes, so definately worth a resurrection in my opinion.

I just love the colours on this one, and the shapes, and everything. Great!

Resurrection in progress...

I don't hang around as much in the original Delete Me group, but I've started looking at their rejects just for this blog and I have to say... HUH?

Why on earth would a wonderful fun picture like this get deleted! It makes no sense. Shame on you! :)

Now I partially blame myself for this one, as I think I mistakedly voted to delete this wonderful photo - but hey, a man can admit he's wrong can't he!

I still think it might (only might) be better with a slghtly straighter horizon, but only just!

Resurrected!

I've started this blog as a tongue in cheek reaction to the Delete Me group (of which I'm not a member) and the Delete Me Uncensored group (of which I am a member).

Its a complete ego trip, cause I'm basically going to post photos from Flickr and say - you're wrong - this shouldn't have been deleted - here's my attempt to resurect it...

The above photo was deleted by the original delete me group (DM), but saved by the uncensored group (DMU) - and a good save it was too cause I think its a wonderful shot.
