I still don't know if it was worth posting or not. Forgive me if this seems a shrouded plea for justification, but when I look at it I feel the urge to look away. I feel like the picture is amateur-ish, and unrefined. The motivation in the comments even seems adolescent. Perhaps I'm just searching for a reason to take it down. Destroy it. Who knows.
I'll leave it up regardless. I feel like it should be replaced. I need to do more experimentation before I have one I'm happy with, but, I don't know when or if that will ever be. I feel like my only chance to capture beauty, or anything worthy of artistic merit is to turn the camera away from myself. Capture the world around me. The simplicity and nuance of that which I hold dear. It would seem I'm condemned to remain out of focus and frame to be happy. Again; who knows. I'll post more when I'm positive I have something worthy of submission. Not some poor image; some contrived rubbish to dismiss with an elaborate description. ]]> ~CPLWeeks http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8982214/ http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8982214/ Mon, 05 Jun 2006 20:05:41 PDT Kodak EasyShare Z650. Now let's see what I can do with it. ]]> ~CPLWeeks http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8868598/ http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8868598/ Wed, 24 May 2006 21:41:50 PDT Drop in if you feel like it! ]]> ~CPLWeeks http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8849443/ http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8849443/ Mon, 22 May 2006 21:28:51 PDT ~CPLWeeks http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8798627/ http://CPLWeeks.deviantart.com/journal/8798627/ Wed, 17 May 2006 13:50:38 PDT The reluctance is, in-part, due to the aura I perceive within dA. I know that public perception shouldn't be the deciding factor when electing to display a graphic or not, but try as I might I can't force it's shadow out of my decision process. I could care less about being 'laughed off the boards' as it were. I imagine the core of my fear is that I'll be the only one who will see what's beyond the image. If no one else sees what I do, then in some way I'll be wrong, or have failed. ]]> ~CPLWeeks
