photoblogging with a concept
browsing around in my daily homework at photoblog recently, i found this blog - nickname supervision - which i, personally, found brilliant. it has this conceptual thing about it i haven't seen in nothing new for a while, and i like the idea: all the pictures are taken with a nokia 6600. well, many people take pictures only with phone digitals, this is becoming a style, so what?
i kept thinking about it after talking to john: how 80's the entire concept is. phones with digitals, unless you are a paparazzi, are like gel with glitter: cute and all (if you like it), with one use and another suposed utility that is there but in the reality is sorta useless, or at least, far from as great as you dream. of course when the level of the lenses and memory raises, the phone cameras will become great point and shoots, but so far, they are not there yet.
having that in mind - or not, maybe i am reading a different concept on the images, but i think it goes towards these lines - the blog is extra fun in its colection of photos. the images revolve around a universe of graffitis of atari joystics, references to cheesy horror movies - even poltergeist - and on.
even though this jumped in my eyes very clearly and easily, people seem to have a serious problem with it or something similar. from an amount of 10 responses (rather small for a picture of the day, on the front page of the site) 3 were quite negative and critisisms. it made me sad. i guess concepts dont interest many people anymore.

Here we have the old question between means and end. A technician would use a tool, would learn all its resources, some tricks and would develop some preferences adjusting its tool to acheive a result. A picture, clear an faithful to the image it was once the source. An artist will not simply use the tool. The tool is there help on the task to extract meanings, regardless the use or not of the perfect technique. A painter would, for exemple, simply throw or let fall the paint and revesting this very action of signicances. The fact is that (s)he is manipulating perception and concepts to acheive a deeper level of the psiché of the viewer. Or having a lot of fun. Or both. So, the mistake is looking to the work of the artist with the eyes of the technician. I apprciate the pictures I saw on the posts in this way: as a treat to my perception and with a lot of fun.
Thanks Ana... I just read your log and this is a great compliment!
Actually we (my girlfriend and I) are having so much fun to snap what we see in our daily live. To use photoblog to share it is brilliant. Especially if people like you understand what we are trying to do! Unfortunately there will be always people around who are jaelous or don't understand, don't be bordered about them. last but not least we use our mobile phone because we never leave the house without... sad huh?!
Hope to be in touch! BTW check our links on our blog and maybe you have some material to post on music for monsters
