ButterFly TakeOff
This Treatment deviates just a bit from my customary Both Feet in Reality Blips.
I'm thinking that sometimes it's good to step just out of our Comfort Zone! But what if folks don't, well...don't like it? What if it's not what they expect?
What if that makes absolutely no difference?
In School Libraries, at least here in the States, materials are categorized by the Dewey Decimal system of library classification invented by Melvil Dewey. Photography is found in the 700's...The Arts. So...what is Art? Wikipedia, within a much broader definition than perhaps is appropriate here, states that, " art is something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses."
So if one Photoshops the hell heck out of a photo and renders it unrecognizable to the viewer is it then still Art? Must we Should we announce to the viewer that we have "tweaked" the image...as if pre-empting their experience with an apology?
Some of my very favorite Blippers unapologetically step right out there to the very edge ...and some would never consider that move. Art is all of it and all of it is Art!
