coopernatural Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 Hi David,Very kind of you to include this with AVs that made it to your favs list.Thanks,Davy Quote
snapcam Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I watched this sequence before reading the comments on the forum other than Davy's intro.I watched it again because others obviously found it fascinatingThe images are truely great, but they're not the authors images and here may be the problem for me.I feel you must be connected to your work and then something of yourself goes into it. The sequence is well constructed but it contains several non related images e.g. the balls which break the flow of the imagery. The sequence becomes a collection of diverse images after the thread of the first half, created by the subjects, is broken when the images in the second half come from such different situations.I liked the idea and the music is beautiful but I think it needs to be going somewhere. The old story of beginning ,middle, and end.Watched it again before posting and I really DO like the images. Quote
coopernatural Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Posted January 28, 2011 Snapcam,It’s a simple AV,with sadness as the theme.Deliberately made with no linear storyboard,or direction. It is a diverse collection of images arranged,in what I thought was a definite structure.The must have a,’beginning,middle and end’forms part of the archaic and formulaic mantra preached by the‘Hector Heathcoat brigade’of Photo societies. I could care less about that nonsense. The rather,‘Art House‘,‘Feeling connected with your work’comment was amusing,but maybe wasted,on a ‘Tea and Biscuits’ forum.I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and give your opinions. Thank You.DavyP.s. I did wait a while in case someone did answer your rhetorical question, ’Am I the one to say the King has no Clothes?..........Well actually, Yes. Quote
snapcam Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Davy,You're quite right ofcourse, I have no right to make unsolicited comments on another's work to that degree.You will note I editded the original post(obviously not quickly enough )I did think I went a little over the top. Quote
coopernatural Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Posted January 28, 2011 Snapcam,The folks here in Sleepy Hollow would fall asleep for good, if not for opinions and feedback.Some take neg comments really bad though.It's like chucking a spanner into a well oiled machine.Keep it coming.Davy Quote
Barry Beckham Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I have this vision of a trout fisherman, who has just cast his fly on the surface of the river, during duffers fortnight, but the fish, seem to be off their feed. Quote
coopernatural Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 I preferred the one where you walked on the surface of Wallaby Crap Creek and rescued a drunken Aborigine from drowning.At least the visions are returning.Just hope it’s not a sign that the end is near.You would surely be missed on Wallaby Crap Creek.How’s things going on that forum anyway? I heard that the vultures were starting to circle.Only thing holding them off,was the rustle of tumbleweeds. Quote
