Discussing a ****** photograph

Jim Chinn · 08-03-2006, 03:59 PM

I have been posting images that I find interesting and thought might stimulate some nice discussion about the photograph as art and the photographers themselves.

The discussion has been really great with a lot of good insight and opinion from all kinds of directions.

I think it might be fun to have a sort of regular feature where others can post an image they would like to submit for discussion. If anyone is intersted post your name in this thread and I will start with the first person (couple people have contacted me via PM) and I will simply send you an email or PM reminder 3 or4 days before your turn. That seems like a good time frame between threads if the 3 I have posted are any indicator.
If that person does not post because they are out of town or busy I will simply move down the list or post one myself for that slot.

I would simply ask that you post a new thread each time in the Photographers Forum and title it with the format Discuss a (photographers name) photograph..

What ever the number of people, we will simply keep going rotating through the list.

What do you think?

These threads have been excellent reads, Jim! Thanks for inviting us all to play. I have an idea for a photograph to discuss, and hope I can get the ball rolling in a few days time, per your pm.

Great idea!

I like the idea.

It's been some of the best reading I've seen lately. Keep it up.

Excellent.. what better way to start my apug life than to discuss some great work! I'd love to participate.

I've really enjoyed these threads and hope they continue, whether by the OP or others. Keep 'em comin'.

I am absolutely into it! I was afraid the stars were intended to mean d-word photos, or just any other curse...

By the way, would you include APUG people's photos in the process as well?

Great idea - I'd like to participate too, though I will be coming and going a bit through August.

Sounds like a great idea. I'm glad also that this has migrated from the "Ethics and Philosophy" to the "Photographers" forum, where it really should be. These have been good threads. I'd do one.
