WWS-R4 High tackle
-
WWS-R5 Hard hitting tackle and a bone breaking landing. / This guy was down after this event for a good few minutes, and there is little support in the amateur game from medical crews. He seemd OK around 10 minutes later, but I winced at the bang I heard down the length of the field when he landed.
-
WWS-R6 A hard fought attack led to a try, but there seemed few smiles. I havnt a clue who the sides were, nor the score, It was just to cold and windy to stay out there, but the series has given me some sports practice with the camera.

My young brother James(on the right) fooling around with Stevie. Thankfully Stevie took up motor mechanics rather than dentistry. / Scotland 1963.

THE ACADEMICS OF ART and the AMATEUR PERSPECTIVE

Hi, Inspired by recent events I wanted to throw this out there for opinion. You know the saying, “everyone’s a comedian”? Well some may say that about artists, “everyone’s an artist”... but are they really?... Art is art and I am sick of debating what art actually is cause we all know it’s what you make it … What I would like to debate today is: Just cause you can make it, is it worthy of displaying it?... Is there a place for critical analysis of the self here on RedBubble? You may think it’s cool, they may think it’s cool but what does the ACADEMIC ARTIST have to say… Do you believe that ART should be taught and if so why then do so many amateurs get very protective and poignant when they are alerted to certain perspectives and vice versa… What is a professional artist? ... What is an amateur artist? BY THE WAY THAT INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHERS… I mean, just cause Andy Warhole did a gozillion paintings, did he choose to sell them all??? Or only the ‘good’ ones? Was what was ‘good’ change according to the perception and acclaim received after finding fame with early works? Please consider these blogs when responding… GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY and Why Artists Hate Photographers 101 Hypocrites and Casualties Thnx for listening…

Another of my weekend warrior series which depicts aspects of competitive sport in the UK at amateur level through candid photography via a long lens. / This time, we have a Sunday League setup image – The hooded lad looks decidedly unimpressed that he has to do something before the match starts, as his team mate does all the work. / Location – Victoria Park, Leicester, UK

This safe is probably left over from when this abandoned stately home was owned by one of the most renowned ship builders in the town. It looks like some amateur safe cracker has had a go at getting in by collecting all the keys they found laying about the premises and trying them in it.

AMATEURS AND ACADEMICS PART 2 (personal notations)

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AIMED AT ANY ONE SPECIFIC SOUL OR ABOUT THE REDBUBBLE PHENOMENON IT’S MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THE TOPIC (Before anyone gets upset)... *What is Quality Assurance??? * Should all art (regardless of marketable quality) be considered a product for sale… The internet did it to music where we have too much choice, not enough controls (over lots of things), and too much inferior product because it hasn’t been tested. If art is to sell in this environment should the market be considered at all? Traditionally there were (and are) gallery curators (or record companies) that filtered the ‘product’ and marketed it because they know what sells, who buyers are and what they are willing to pay… It’s something that is not limited to art. In a capitalist commercial world, simply (without saying anything to anyone specific on redbubble, I don’t want to upset anyone) but how do we sort the mediocre from the brilliance without similar controls to ensure a high quality market… and… give new learners a benchmark of quality to strive for… Maybe I know too much about organisation and business, I have worked in tv, events, commercial design, advertising, marketing, publications, sound, university multi media, state government, printing etc. etc. etc. These are all creative industries, Qld University of Technology have a course named, Creative Industries… but they don’t just let any old drawer, picture snapper etc. in because there is a technical pre-requisite of expectation… now anyone can make art… yes??? (I admit not everyone wants to study art at uni) but… How do the people who spent a good part of their life actually learning, integrating and creating the day to day work and products and events etc… protect their own integrity if every amateur expects to be critiqued in the same way??? Just another perspective… PS. How can trained artists help amateurs get better technically? There are techniques that can be enhanced and refined to progress skills, if they are pointed out are they being critical or constructive??? I have no tertiary qualifications in the arts, I studied Graphic Art and Advertising at a commercial college and learned from talented individuals around me. I make no claim to brilliance in the art world and have sold work contractually in creative fields and a few items on RedBubble (still haven’t reach my cash-in limit hee he, but oh well)

The imporance of letters after your name...

What i don’t get and am constantly amazed at the selfish, ignorant and head-in-the-sand attitude by some here on RB, is that if you went off and started up your own website or business and called it something preposterous (or technically illegal), you would be completely in your rights to promote yourself and/or go through the courts defending a made up and non affiliated name to your hearts content. What you have here though, is a COMMUNITY of people ranging from the totally inept to the extremely pro, but ultimately this site is a community site that sells stuff and we all see and can interact with each other (get it!). By all means have as many groups as you like and let them be into things like the colour ‘RED’, or Still Life, or Left Handed Tossers, but how totally inappropriate is it to create any group with fictitious credentials, that are not affiliated to anyone or anything and then set yourselves up as a bone fide organisation, that has the pretensions of credibility and in turn self promote and judge others work, based on those supposed credentials. The fact that having pretentious credentials after your name and how other people here may feel about this self serving attitude, just absolutely blows my mind. If you want credentials, then EARN them in the REAL world where it’s tough, dirty, but when you get them, you just might deserve them, not bought over the Internet like one of those online degrees in Nail Varnishing. DISCLAIMER: / And this is not pointed at any particular group, but at anyone with the laziness and self indulgence to take the short cut to the supposed top, by setting up any group with fictitious ‘industry sounding’ credentials, that are in fact just snake oil and mean nothing in the real world, or maybe they should be used in ‘Second Life’ where you can make believe anything, so i’m told (;->

This article is almost four years old, but the information is still very relevant. The history of stock photography and how the industry developed was particularly fascinating to me. With the growth of the internet, it’s easy to jump into things and sign up for web sites without thinking about possible consequences. I try to do at least a little homework before I get too deeply in to a particular type of site. I found this article late last night while I was doing some research and following links. Hope this helps anyone considering selling stock photos. http://www.inkjetart.com/news/archive/IJN_10-28-04.html#5

The Heart Of The Artist

I was having an interesting conversation with my photographer friend Ian the other day. He was comparing my work to his. In his words, his photos were more “documentary” or “factual” while mine were more “artistic” and “poetic”. I was quite flattered by the comparison as I have always wanted to convey emotion and narrative through my pictures. But it raised a question in my mind as to how we convey emotion and narrative through our pictures. How much is it in the composition, how much in the titling and presentation and how much is actually in the mind of the viewer? How can you convey emotion through a composition? I think much relates to the state of mind of the individual taking the picture. Certainly when I’m in a happy mood I will notice positive things – on a basic level, the beauty of the world around. When I’m in a negative mood, I will be taking pictures of negative things, or things with negative associations – that seems to be chains for me. And in those images I am trying to convey feelings of being trapped, confined, restricted by life and a desire to be free. Positive images for me are the wide vistas of the countryside, wildlife running free, that sort of thing. I try to convey that sense of freedom and liberty, joy and life. I don’t know whether I succeed. Go and decide for yourself I’ve come to realize that titling is equally important. A good title leads the viewer to what you want them to see. Some days I’m afraid I’m rather lazy – but if you want to convey a sense of a lion running free through the African veldt you don’t call your picture “Lion”. I keep promising myself that I must spend more time considering a title, but in the fast moving world of the internet I’m afraid that expedience often wins in the desperation to keep a high profile. And then there’s the great unknown, the one thing that as an artist you are unable to control: the viewer. At its best, the viewer approaches the picture in the same frame of mind as the artist. At these times there is almost a spark – the viewer “gets” it. They can look at the picture and see through to its heart. I wonder whether much of the fuss over modern art is simply a case of the viewers inability to be on the same wavelength as the artist. Or the artist presenting a concept that is too esoteric. So does that mean I have to approach my pictures with a viewer in mind? Or can I be utterly self-indulgent. Well, therein lies the difference between an amateur and a professional. The professional always has to make his or her own feelings subservient to those of the buying public. In some respects they have to limit their imaginations – rather like a photographer wanting to express himself artistically, but being restrained by the fact that the happy couple just want bog standard wedding pics. The amateur is much better off in that respect. We have no professional considerations, we can let our imaginations and feelings run riot through our art. We have no audience other than friends and family. We are free.

I read this in a Reader’s Digest … can’t find it right now but I thought it was brilliant. A couple and their friend who is an amateur photographer went to dinner at a friend of the couple’s house. After perusing the photographs, the hostess said “Lovely photos, you must have an excellent camera”. The dinner progressed and as they were leaving, the friend of the couple turned to the hostess and said “Lovely dinner, you must have excellent pots.” I love that!

GIMP
by Stephen MitchellCiaran asks us ’ which programme to get? ‘...
Ciaran asks us ’ which programme to get? ‘ . My response got a bit lengthy, so I am posting it here. I highly recommend GIMP . As much as the professionals recommend purchasing the super-duper programs, some of us don’t spend all our post-production time editing our work (because we rely on good lighting, knowledge of our camera’s (which, of course, is ongoing learning)), so we don’t need nor want to spend our mortgage repayments on Photoshop. At least not yet. GIMP has amazing similarities to Photoshop. / ... If you are earnest and keen to learn and apply, go Photoshop. / ... If you want to start out small and build up to bigger and better, go GIMP: Then learn it till you can afford Photoshop. Gimp had a major overhaul in late 2007/early 2008. It now has some amazing features and abilities. But like Photoshop, it needs a good computer to handle the processing. But remember this: Neither Photoshop nor any other multimedia program will fix a bad photograph. Sure you can apply some fancy effects, but that don’t mean a pinch of salt when it comes to selling or profiting from the time spent. I hope this helps. I also hope it stimulates conversation.
