Humor, social critique and an artistic eye in perfect balance!
Even Henri Cartier-Bresson has some humorous photographs.
I have also seen other random photos from a variety of photographers which
are strong evidence to the fact that its a crazy world after all!
..which was the cover of Women Are Beautiful, for which he was endlessly pilloried by the fem activists and self-conscious critics of the day.Suzanne Revy said:He's hard to forget! I mentioned him earlier in the thread!! A favorite... the woman eating ice cream in front of a clothing store with a headless male mannequin... very humorous, indeed!
medform-norm said:Maybe you've been seeing the wrong exhibitions? We laugh all the time in museums. Try seeing some Henri L'Artique for instance - very amusing. Personally, we really like some photo's by swiss based artists Fischli & Weiss. I could enumerate a few others if you'd want, but all depends on your own sense of humour as well. Alas, from this distance, I can't judge to what sort of humourous types you belong. And then, some may laugh where others fail to see the humour. Happens all too often. An example: Gilbert & George's photo works is funny to some, pointless to others.
But on the whole: humour and art are not by definition mutually exclusive, so there is no reason why there couldn't be photographs as works of art that are also funny or even hilarious.

a lot of people believe humor is essential in photography and life but i agree with g82bart, very few people
now, 13 years later show any humor at all in their photography ( at least here on photrio ) and a lot of people
are a bit to serious ..
then again i could be wrong.
Are you saying that because of APUG, you lost your sense of humour?The first and only photograph I posted on APUG was very humorous. Unfortunately in the first day it was copied, stolen, ripped off hundreds of times. As a result I removed it and have not posted my photographs on the internet.

In case no-one else has noticed, this thread had lied dormant for 13 years before John woke it up again.
And sadly, if you read through it, there are a bunch of the original participants who are either no longer here, or no longer on this earth.
