Re: Armani with Attitude...


\"I don\'t try and help people be more creative.\"

No, you don\'t. You do promote rules as gospel though, and apply them without thinking of the holistic view. The textbook way to kill creativity.

A good and wise woman told me once, if it\'s got too specific, generalise, if it\'s got too general, specialise. You have managed to take it so far to the specific it\'s become pathological.

To borrow your hammer analogy, even though the carpenter is actually \'saying\' mostly the right things, I\'m unlikely to take his advice because he has no thumbnails and a nail sticking out of his leg.
And he hasn\'t even noticed!

I have no doubt that your intentions are good, and that indeed you have a lot of information.
However without the understanding of how to apply that information it all becomes meaningless.

Why not make a serious attempt at some really quality work, that involves taking guidance from others? I think you\'d be pleasantly surprised. A lot of others would be too, and it would validate a lot of the information you have.

Take the same amount of time as it takes you to write \'another\' three of your essay/posts and go and take a picture in a completely different way.

Here\'s a challenge, instead of designing your lighting and pose to manipulate your audience, cut it down to basics, Just window light, no minutiae directing of poses, not even neccesarilly a person, just a simple joyous mood.

Don\'t edit it, just post it and we\'ll take it from there. Have you got the balls to try this?
Don\'t give me any guff about not photographing stuff these days, it\'s obvious it\'s really, really important to you.

If you want to be more than king one-eye and his blind entourage. You\'re going to have to open the other eye, and both your ears. Ears don\'t work well while the mouth is flapping and new ideas won\'t take root whilst the weeds of the old ones are still rife.

Less talk, more walk. Life is so much better that way.

Paul.
