Artist looking for photos to paint from
cotton...@gmail.com
of my next painting. My technique is to try to copy as closely as
possible the photograph, so the viewer of the painting has to study the
painting closely to determine if it is really a painting.
I'm looking for a color photograph to work from for my next painting.
Some subjects I might be interested in would include: urban landscapes,
storefronts, street scenes, small town life, automobiles, abandoned
buildings, honky-tonks, blues clubs, old Hawaii small town buildings,
etc. Shots can be with or without people in them. I'm looking for an
image that works well as a photograph since I won't be changing
anything about its composition or color. My preferences lean more to
gritty realism.
I'm sorry I can't pay for the rights to paint your photo, but I'll be
sure to send you a photograph of the finished work. If you're
interested in showing me your work, please e-mail me at

UC, you'd have to pay this guy to paint anything you shot.

Why?

No fair.
He's an artist, you can't ask logical questions like that.
If he wants to be a human copy-machine, then that's his choice.
Exactly what is artistic about this process is a closely guarded
secret held by the monks of the Zambian rain-forest, who themselves
are fairly secret, and could even be extinct.

Why would you want to capture an image on film or digitally when you've
already seen it with your own eyes? Maybe to share it with others?
Why photorealism? Maybe I'm lazy and don't want to put forth the
effort to develop my own style of painting. Maybe I want a challenge.
Maybe I enjoy looking at other painters work done in the photo-realism
style (http://www.museumca.org/exhibit/exhib_bechtle.html) and would
like to give others the same enjoyment.
Jeez, if I'd have known these were the kind of responses I'd get I
wouldn't have bothered.

No - I'm not capturing the experience of seeing the view. My camera doesm't
capture my experience of seeing a view. I'm creating something different
from the scene and the physics of the camera - a photograph isn't that
experience although we do learn to correlate a photograph with our
recollection of that experience.

Perhaps it's a performance art - man being a photocopier

We would have preferred that you did not. Artists have a bad enough
reputation as it is. To prove, beyond any doubt, that you're a bunch of
useless, low-life, brain-dead, drug-using cat-fuckers (as you have done
by your postings) is the icing on the cake, so to speak.

When UC speaks on behalf of "we", he is talking about his multiple
personalities. He does not represent this newsgroup in any way except the
regular trolling minority. Your post was perfectly ok to post here, but you
might not get many bites though.

I am both an artist (painter) and photographer. I see no benefit from
arguing the merits of this topic. It only serves those who enjoy the
argument, regardless of the topic.

Maybe the argument itself is a work of ephemeral art - crafted by those who
perform for the entertainment of others.

Are you speaking from personal experience?
