Equivalents??

 

…I also know that there is more of the really abstract in some 'representation' than in most of the dead representations of the so-called abstract so fashionable now.

Has the medium of photography been mined of its artistic potential? Sometimes it seems as if it has. A series of images of the sky certainly doesn't impress the way it once did, it's safe to say. But I also think that if the medium were indeed past its prime, folks would abandon it for something else, something that yielded more interesting results.

By this point in human history, most would probably consider the 'lonely cloud' a tired trope, downright corny even. Not worth a click. Indeed. These days a cloud needs to be pretty special for me to consider photographing it. The other day, however, I was gazing out a window -- taking a little visual break after looking at a lot of art that didn't particularly resonate with me. At that moment, this little cloud looked pretty sweet and captured my mood. It's corny for a reason, I guess.
