Heh, that reminds me of that kittens inspired by kittens video on youtube. Thanks for the laugh this morning!
I was forced to miss this because of a class Monday and man am I sorry. Hope Richard wasn’t too traumatized!
Wow, this sounds like so much fun
Looking forward to getting old enough to do stuff like that…
WOW! Very funny…
I wish I had come with! Next time, maybe next time…
Wow. I love the first picture. SO pretty. I love the bright colors, and the expressions on all of their faces. I’m definitely saving this picture…
The color is great in those first two pictures. Reminds me of Easter Egg tones, rich, bright pastel kind of colors, very noticeable but not garish. Just gentle. As for speaking in front of groups, I’ve only shown work in front of peers, in classes, but even from showing things to family members, parents, siblings, et cetera, I know that type of inane comment-making that … an artist can get. I just think it’s the difference between thinking contextually, and thinking literally. If someone’s not trained to do the former, it’s … just going to be an ‘ooh, pretty’ kind of reaction, or silly questions, et cetera. Though it’s been said there are no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid answers. So, who knows. One doesn’t want their art to be esoteric to the point where the person on the street can’t appreciate it and think what they want about it. But, hopefully, as an artist, one doesn’t aim just for that, and instead … always tries for something deeper.
Your audience isn’t very intellectually inclined, in the field of viewing imagery-simple documentary imagery at that. Be thankful for that variation. Although the audience from THIS presentation wasn’t contextual and couldn’t really offer anything to you to further your ideas, or take anything away from your presentation except for the memory of your photographs….they have helped you in your interaction with the people. Not everybody is an artist and not everyone understands what they are seeing and some don’t know how to access deeper critical thinking. This gives you opportunity to enlighten and share. It’s okay to be flattered by their compliments, but let the uniformed become aware of what it is they are being exposed to. It’s not wise to snub them. Perhaps they really aren’t as ignorant as they were acting, perhaps they were testing the speaker and demonstrating their own performance art. I. like Ross, experience those same types of comments when I ask my friends and parents for advice….but I feel responsible for communicating what it is that I’m trying to do. Most people really aren’t ignorant, they just need some explanation before they can start seeing things more clearly. You’d be amazed at how sheltered some people allow their lives to become.
Unfortunately, this is the downfall of any presentation. Hecklers have been around since the days of Plato and Socrates. Imagine the response of some ancients citizens to Socrates ranting and raving. Although, I don’t consider these people to be ignorant, some maybe, but not in an overall capacity. Nor do I believe the artist who receives hecklers to be ineffective at conceptual and contextual representation of their ideas. So the next time one of us gets a question like, “Have you met Sarah Palin?” Tell them the story about how you met Sarah Palin at the local tavern and she owes you 20 dollars for that round of drinks she bought last night.
