Subnostr

Some people just capture photos of things because they like them. Not everything is meant to be “perfect” and “exact”. Art and photography are subjective so what is liked by some won’t be liked by others. Let’s Just enjoy the photos for what they are and what the person that captured them produced. 💜

Okay now that I have some time to sit down, I will challenge your comment.

Yes, some people like to take snapshots but that is much different than photography. Also I never said that a certain persons photo needed to be "perfect" or "exact". I was referring to the "potential" of the subject matter, in this case, the leaf pattern and not the person's photo. I will do a similar photo because of that photograph.

The cliche that art and photography is "only" subjective is a true insult to any artist (I know you didn't say "only" but you implied it). There are a lot of principals and skill sets that go into making some "snapshots" into art.

By the way the piece in question, I thought was wonderful and inspired me, that is why I zapped. If you care so much, did you zap it?

So, please subjectively browse random snapshots on google for your art (or where ever) and I will enjoy the nostr #photography but not with your mindset of what art should be.

Again I apologize, for having liked, having followed that random "snapshot person". It won't happen again.

It’s not that you said the photo has to be perfect, but you insinuated it, and potentially insulted Ally by not only going on and on about what she should change in her photo, that she clearly likes and decided to share, but you told her it has “potential”, and you went so far as to re-edit her photos to make them good in your eye. Which means what Ally photographed wasn’t good enough for you, but your edit was better and worth posting. Which is literally the definition of subjective. Art is absolutely subjective. Some people like Mozart, some like Tool. Some like Monet others like Andy Warhol. Doesn’t mean one is good the other is bad they are just different. Before you go on hurling insults by telling me or anyone else to go google image crappy snaps to look at as art maybe have a conversation first. Yes, I understand principles of photography, and I’ve studied photography for years.

Well, that was not my intent to insinuate the photo had to be perfect, as I explained. I was fascinated by the pattern of the leaf. Which I tried to explain with the different examples.

I insult you because you are a third party shit talker who made the wrong assumption about my "intent" making the situation worse. You don't have to worry about me, I am here for the photography and not your penis buttered sandwiches.

One thing I think we all agree upon is that you need to zap all her posts double because I am out. There is no solution where all my thoughts are assumed for me. So goodbye Casey.
