I am taking about two new nicest arts, the “farmhouse” and the “tower”. At first glance, I was sure that Author moved to paint art, while his camera remained abandoned at his home… Then, when watching these arts with full-screen magnification, I found some “artefacts” which could not be therein if being brush-produced. I then immediately opened the file EXIF (accessed in full screen as the file properties). I was amazed when found that these are naturally photos, while the “brush-effect” was reached due to a specific post-processing (produced with PhotoShop CS).
Bravo! This is a truly target of art photography: the use of a photocamera instead of an artist’s brush and oil colours. What the perfect step in the biography of the truly artist. The very promising way for the future. My congratulations!
Hi, thank you for your visit. Sorry for deactivating that account as I have stopped my activity on most sites.
I don’t have any creativity left. The last couple of months I’m concentrating on getting a job and I didn’t get out to take photographs.
thank you again for taking the effort to visit and ask. have a nice day
I’ve understood. Life has become harder… I wish you all my best: if concentrating hard enough on any target, you will get success.
With these, I disagree with your old opinion to produce a smallest number of print copies of your photo arts (you told this somewhere in an interview). Remember. You also told that you like to produce photo arts as the old Hollanders produced their painings. They, the old Hollanders, were however followed with the motto “art goes to each home”. So, all the beauty of the old Holland painting we have a pleassure to observe at museums is merely a small trace of their “mass production” they staffed homes of the “middle class” of the Netherlands during the 15-18th centuries. Now, photo prints are very easy to produce, in contrast to paint. Thus, if agreeing to give an oppotunity to the photo galleries to print your photo arts, you could be in the same “stream” and the old Hollanders, and also have to improve your current living so that then spending all you time for photography — your truly mission in this world.
I am niot a businessman or gally owner, but merely a theoretical physicist and photo amateur. I mere give an idea which visited me in the moment.
Met mij gaat het goed. Ik ben de laatste tijd steeds meer met fotografie bezig
en heb een aparte kolom onder mijn favorieten, waar ik de grote fotoshops en andere fotosites in heb staan en daar plaats ik nu jouw ‘mooie’ site ook bij.
Sinds mij Systemate tijd is er heel wat veranderd. Ik wist niet wat ik van de toekomst moest verwachten maar ging, zoals ik je toen al zei, m’n hart achterna. Heb een jaartje later wel het geluk gehad, dat een ‘oude’ bekende mij opbelde met de vraag of ik voor hen halve dagen wilde komen werken.
Al met al, heel veel geleerd en er geen moment spijt van gehad.
Ik hoop dat ‘t met jou ook goed gaat, maar dat zal best, want jij laat je ook niet snel gek maken! Groetjes!! Marcel
Mooie winterlandschappen. Knappe composities.
Ik hoop dat het al wat beter met je gaat. Prettige feestdagen.
En sorry voor mijn te persoonlijke mail, ik had dat beter niet gedaan.
Nog veel winterplezier!

Thank you for your comment and your visit
I am intrigued and wonder what those “artefacts” are that you think of they are not brush-produced?

What happened with your 500px account? I visited it, regularly. Now, when visiting http://500px.com/gjoa it says “deactivated user”…

Hoi Gerrit,
zat even op Deviantart te kijken en moest ineens aan jou denken..
Maar via daar kwam ik hier..
Geen idee waarom
Mooi om te zien, veel mensen willen oude producties digitaliseren maar jij draait de ‘filmrollen’ om en maakt van modern, klasse klassiek!
Groet, Marcel

aww, dank je…het is een wat oudere foto die ik wat smaller heb gemaakt en omgedraaid…verder is er niet veel veranderd
30/09/2010 om 12:03 pm
Smaller ok,
maar omgedraaid?
05/10/2010 om 7:55 am
