Sharpness is Overrated!

Hey Derrel, 1965 called. Asked you to return the academic snobbery where it belongs!

Lets go out and shoot and make "art". Blurry or not, post them up.

I love how a guy who has no education or understanding of art talks about artistic ideas...yeah....funny stuff!!!

Is special training required to talk about and appreciate art?

Most Amuuricans have ZERO art training, and do not understand the difference between kitsch and true fine art...Would you ask if special training were required to talk about heart surgery, or aerospace engineering principles? Wonder why that is? People with ZERO training in "art" think they know all about it...and yet they do not pretend to be experts in other fields....

Oh snap! It's about to get all racist up in here!

I'm a grown married women.

I thought you posted images last week that your "boyfriend" wanted posted of you...you've been here less than a month....I must be confusing you with somebody else...

It was me, but it said "husband" title said "husband"

You know, it might sound weird, but I like sharp cheese dunked in Worcestershire sauce.

What is art, and how does it differ from communication:
is it art or communication? « word and image

YEah, I went back through some of your posts, trying to find it....I see you've already pulled the photos you put up in the photo post after less than four days!!I have seen quite a few of your posts, and read them, and I thought you were a high school student, based on the bridge camera, the uncle's camera, claiming you live in a boring placer, and that native-born South Floridians, as you say over and over "hate" the place,etc,etc.. I honestly thought you were a high school student. Seriously.

I have to say, that I have only been at this for a lil over a month, and I have been on here for a few weeks, and I really feel like I have grown a LOT as a photographer is just this short amount of time.


I'm a major advocate for CC. Also, when I get a "good" photo compliment, it means a LOT more.

^^ leave her alone, she's only like 21. those seemingly negative sentiments of where she lives only indicate a youthful optimism that we loose once learning that everywhere sucks equally.

If you think everyone is so intellectually beneath you, why do you post here? You know you don't have to right? Instead of whining about how ignorant everyone is why don't you find a place that's more on par with you superior attitude erm.... I meant level!

Nice try Kerby!!! Learning through reading is frowned upon in Texas!!! You're quite a clever fellow...I am not surprised that you don't like book-learnin'!

You are hilarious!!

And to think that your moniker here on this forum is a character from a book!!!! Go ahead people, look up "Kerbouchard"....it's hilarious!

who are you even talking to?

I don't frown upon book learning or formal education. I am simply saying it is not the only way to learn. Learning by actually experiencing the art, thinking about why you like it or dislike it, and forming your own opinion is not invalid.

Regarding, 'book-learnin', I am a voracious reader. I have 10's of thousands of books in my personal collection and have read many of them dozens of times. Yes, some of them are junk westerns, some are philosophy, some are theoretical physics; pretty much everything from Dan Brown to Sun Tzu.

As far as my moniker, yes, it is indeed a character from a book called The Walking Drum. My signature is also a quote from that character. Maybe you should take note of it before forming opinions on my education or how I feel about learning.

You know. Derrel isn't the only over educated boob around here. The only difference is my art history lessons didn't end at Andy Warhol.

So if I like appreciate a photo, and because I am not formally trained in art, your line of reasoning leads me to conclude that the photo I appreciate cannot be art.
