To me this article was very interesting. I loved the way taht he wrote it, to me it seemed to flow from paragraph to paragraph very nicely. I also liked how he put his pictures in his writing. I think this is a good technique because it helps you feel what you are reading. It was also cool to be able to see what he was talking about as he was explaining them. I like the way that he took the photographs of his family to show how they are and how much he cares for them, The thing that struck in my mind after i read this would have to be the saying, "an artist knows that his work was never in his mind, he could never have thought it before it happened". I had to read that a few time to get what he was trying to say by this. I think that he is trying to say that you do not know how beautiful something is until you have seen it. My favorite part of this article would have to be how much the article showed how much he loved his family.
I think I liked this picture because she is not acting as if someone is taking a picture of her. It almost looks posed. I would have to say that I am a fan of his art after reading this article and I think I will have to read his book.
Your picture didn't show up???
ReplyDeleteI would love to see this picture you put up! I agree with you, mixing in some pictures with the writting give us a visualization of what hes trying to do. I would like to ask if you agree with what he was trying to say when you said "you dont know how beautiful something is untel you see it"
ReplyDeleteI liked that quote also. I understood the feeling that his work was not in his mind, was his admitting that things happen by chance. Sometimes that perfect moment on camera is a fluke. And how lucky that is. As an artist beauty is developed into perfection. Generally people may see something as ugly or ordinary until it is enhanced by an artist. It may be in the form of music, literature or visually.
ReplyDeleteI do extremely agree with you! I myself am a very visual person and it also made me really visualize the author as a person, his genuine personality, and his love for his family and the people around him. I agree with your interpretation of the quote from the author as well. Sometimes you don't always capture what you think you will capture but sometimes it's beautiful!
