That's very interesting, Bill. How die you do that? Have you been storing up cans of baked beans in preparation for a disaster? Certainly, it is an example of repetition.

All the best,

Endre

I apologize but I do not like it. It is just boring. It looks like one picture duplicated 100 times. Too much repetition for my taste I guess. Please do not be offended.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks Endre, a bit of a challenge but just a matter of cut and paste, cut and paste etc. Beans are a part of my weekly diet but you have to be careful not to do overdo it.

Do not apologise Yakim, you are entitled to an opinion and I am not offended.

Back in 1962 when Andy Warhol produced his image of '100 cans' (of Campbells Soup), many people also thought it was boring and not to be considered within the realms of art. He had the last laugh though and made a fortune out of that and similar images. I produced my own kind of version as a challenge, tongue in cheek and just for a bit of fun. You are correct Yakim - it is boring but then repetition often is.

Cheers. Bill

I see what you mean now. Well, some kinds of art just don't look to me as such.

Well, that just goes to prove my point I started over on Eager's photo thread. Just because Andy Warhol managed to laugh all the way to the bank on account of he fooled a bunch of no-nothings into purchasing his junk "art" doesn't make it so. It just proves he was a better con artist than most. Bill - your stack of cans is just as good as Andy Warhol's - only you aren't as famous so you can't get away with charging a fortune for it.

All best wishes,

Endre

I like it! Kind of like the dog mona lisa or another famous work of art turned to the bizarre or more mundane.
