"Many people know what to photograph, but very few know how to photograph it"
I like your humor. It often makes me smile.
I didn't say it Rodchenko did
"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child." Picasso
That kind of humor.
Humorous or not is so truthful
Sometimes when I see photographs of children that play with the camera I am mesmerised. Original, sensitive, they are all very personal and reveal their very distinct view.
And then I see many photographs of new students of photography in Lausanne and they all try to mimic their idols. But what can we do we are too old to see the world like a small child. We can only try...
Humorous or not is so truthful
When our kids were young (6 and 8 IIRC), I thought it would be interesting to give them disposable cameras and see what they produced. Unfortunately it wasn’t.
That’s the advantage children have. They dot’n know what a good photograph should be like. That will always be something made in the past. Children are more capable to make something new. Most adults are unable to even recognise the qualities of something new. They are burdened with concepts from the past.
I find much humor in following adults confronted with there own shadow.
Children can't see the world.
They only see things.
Sure they see their mother as a thing. I don’t think so.
You need to meet more small children.
A good excuse to also remember and celebrate the works of his colleague and fellow constructivist Boris Ignatovich
Alex, I have learned over time that you are the most Knowledgeable person on APUG for photographer critique. No one comes close to your knowledge of photographic history and artistic historical inter-relationships.
