When I taught printmaking I used to tell my students, "Printmaking is the art of liking what you get." Perhaps that's true of photography in some ways.20th Century Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432147267959308192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-82175891669043723252010-06-27T16:08:12.396-07:002010-06-27T16:08:12.396-07:00Love the photos and your idea!!!!Love the photos and your idea!!!!Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-29058736005420146062010-06-27T11:49:10.042-07:002010-06-27T11:49:10.042-07:00I like your third thought on that one about the sh...I like your third thought on that one about the shadow and how the concept applies to women of our generation.

This changes the story completely and is different than the plant that never grew and never will grow as high as the fence.

Your leg is like the grass that is in the sun and at the same time protected by the fence.<br />How the idea is universal to women of our generation makes the image universal. <br />I grew up with trading cards with bathing beauties in this pose.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-86714287683885716322010-06-27T10:57:08.079-07:002010-06-27T10:57:08.079-07:00I like the last one with the grass in the sun lig...I like the last one with the grass in the sun light reaching up but never will it outgrow the protective fence.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-84650516186459663932010-06-27T10:53:18.365-07:002010-06-27T10:53:18.365-07:00Ok, the fence could also mean security.

One foot in the water. One out. If she was posed ready to jump, it'd be something else for meaning. Actually the fence is very apropos as it forms a barrier, a limitation also! I hadn't thought of that until you said it why I had thought it was one of the elements. Color wise, it's neutral but subject wise, it's apropos.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1817889809519808032010-06-27T07:51:58.103-07:002010-06-27T07:51:58.103-07:00I think black and white is good in conceptual phot...I think black and white is good in conceptual photographs because more information than necessary complicates communication.. Also editing a picture would be in order. The fence is not nutral and counts as every element in the photograph. I think a lot more body language would be comunicated through a pose of you getting ready to jump. The dramatic moment of pull away or push is what you need.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-60572243334165849962010-06-27T05:39:58.741-07:002010-06-27T05:39:58.741-07:00Lovely pics of a beautiful Lady !!Lovely pics of a beautiful Lady !!Paulhttp://ShadowofDiogenes.blogs.com/shadow/noreply@blogger.com
