I enjoy my photography because I can express myself better thru it than thru wordz.
Motorcycles, on the other hand are a religious experience.

Just hit the throttle a little harder, and the brakes a little later.
You can always buy new underwear, but how often do you get to see Jesus?

I had a feeling pete's image had been 'worked on'. I quite like the soft focus, informal feel of kemal's images, not quite snaps, not quite portraits. Whether this was intended or not we can only know if kamal tells us.

regarding the 'Art' vs 'Not Art' debate. In a recent magazine (can't remember which one now), there was a student who had dressed up in various outfits and had self portraits taken dressed as male and female characters (is one andy warhol?). Good idea and makes you think. However, the actual photo's were taken by other people, 'under my direction' as the student said. So the student didn't actually take the images, only stage managed the whole thing.

So who is responsible for the framing, focusing, light etc. The student or her/his hairdresser?

if it was a point and shoot, 'just press this button when I say', then this is just a snap of someone in fancy dress and not such a thought provoking concept at all .... isn't it?
