I have worked with this medium for the last 2.5 years, more so this summer. In conversation with one of my peers, I came upon and amazing statistic, regarding my love of all things Wet Plate Collodion. At what point will we recognize that the portrait of ourselves is not us?
#Tabula rasa 2011 skin#
I hate that reality has gone by the way side and even 5 year old boys and girls has a softening feature done to their skin tones. I hate that techniques in photography now require a key stroke, a cursor and mouse. I hate that there are "photographers" these days that only know what they have read about, and follow the same paths as everyone before them. Where are the sore muscles, banged up fingers, worn thru leather, hours of latenight caffeine stupors til the sunrises? But now, we expect to google upon a subject, read about the trials and tribulations of some dramatic writer who also has read thru endless websites on the internet and dabble at that same task we want to achieve? That seems to be the way to get to the milestones of our desires. It used to be you needed to find a mentor willing to work with you and teach you methods and techniques to accomplish a task. Is it that we want to falsely believe that we can be anything we want, without working hard endless hours to work on a craft we want to succeed in. Pick a side baby, because we're gonna forget about political correctness for a moment. There is a winner and there is a loser, there is a positive and a negative, there is good, there is bad.
In my daughter's fencing class, there is a sign that says, In Battle, there is a winner and there is a loser. What gets me is the Political Correct attitude that everything has worth, to the point that we should not suggest anything negative, because there in life, we are all winners. I love that we can create an immediate image and call it our own, post it on the internet and have it judged by our peers and anyone else who can find it. I know that technology has made the medium more accessible and I think that is a great thing, honestly, I do. I'm tired of being polite and sucking up my true feelings of the direction photography has gone to. At what point do you finally draw the line and say what you feel, not caring about how egomaniacal you come out looking at the other end.
