Most photography isn't art. But that doesn't matter, because it's able to do things art rarely can. Photography is a vial for a memory, it makes the intangible tangible. This feature is even more potent in black and white photography. Even more potent if there's some motion blur. So don't be sad your "snapshit" will never be art, be glad that you captured what your eyes could only see for a split second just for it to vanish into nonexistence. Advocates of cineslop say it's sculpting in time. Photography is making time meaningless, cutting right through it and spitting in the face of Chronos. That's why La Jetée is genius, beneath the superficial time travel argument lies the fact that photography is how we travel in time. It's how we make the fleeting eternal. Just think of how the accounts of deja vu phenomena skyrocketed after the introduction of photography, it literally pierces the matrix of time in the minds of those who experience it. I'm certain that if we one day gain the ability to control time, photography will be a huge part of that. Time is first and foremost about perception and only photography has what it takes to train the brain to be able to take charge and go from passive observer to being the one in control.

English prescriptivism is the crown’s bullshit. They even prescribe the correct accent. Originally we were going to switch to an entirely phonetic alphabet just to spite them, but it confused migrants so we settled on making errors on purpose.

You're right. Reddit has real photographers. /p/ is for jerking off about gear and taking creepshots of random minorities on the street like some kind of sick fuck. Just how ill in the head are you, freak?

Stop projecting Eggy

>>4421821
Don't bring Eggy into this. It's you and me buddy boyo, mano a mano. You wish you had an eye for visual poetry. Nophotos like yourself flee threads in fear when my newest snaps drop.
Behold, pure artistry unrestrained from the limits of words. Bet you feel real fuckin' stupid now LOL

You need to work on the act a little more.

>>4421870
Bruh you're exhausting.

>>4421827
any time you see a gearfag saying his shitty lens is more artistic remember this blurry telephone pole

/p/eons will sit around and cry about "missed focus" (Read: artistic blur) and analyzing ISO grain structures while basking in the glow of their monitor alone in their granny's attic. it's almost like they never knew the touch of a woman lmao

>>4422048
Dishonest critique is what they do best, good faith is completely alien to them.

>*blurry photo*
>i'm le
>artiste
No matter how many shitty blury "artistic" lenses and garbage cameras you buy or how blurry your photos are, they totally lack any intellectual or emotional content so they're not art.

Desperately separating yourself form snapshot photography with contrarianism doesn't make you an artist. It makes you insecure. Might as well go all the way and larp as a trust fund kid. One leica and a lot of street photographer namedropping later and a lot of people would probably buy it. Don't forget the most important part: not having a job.

Projection isn't good for your mental health. You win some, you lose some. Such is life.

>>4422216
What's really pathetic is that you think the word "projection" is an instant win card. Just put the fries in the bag lil bro, you'll need that bread to buy a new lens converter

>>4421701 (OP)
I don't know what any of this is supposed to say and I'm sure it's not my fault.

>>4421785
I'm a descriptivist by nature but this is a dumb take. "Should of" should be killed off. You need a certain level of prescriptivism. Kan u imajin iff wee roat lyk this beecuz thats wut it sownz lyk?

>>4422216

>>4422221
These replies are getting more nonsensical. There's projection, and then there's throwing everything against the wall until something sticks.

>>4422228
Don't even reply to these anons. They'll rattle on and on with their schizo babble until the thread hits the bump limit. We've seen it countless times before with "people" like cANON.

>Most photography isn't art.

I agree with this, but the idea that time is all about perception and that photography will be a tool to control it is just absurd.

>Advocates of cineslop say it's sculpting in time.
Advocates of CINEMA, the highest that photography can aspire to be. And it IS sculpting in time, fucknob.
Go back to snapshitting in the streets like that hack Garry Winogrand that you admire so much, dickbag. Or better yet, read a book on your shitty cork so you can perhaps stop making a fool of yourself. Pic related.

Photography isn't cinema

>>4422319
cinema used to be simply recording the equivalent of a stage play or sideshow; now its a focus group generated computer graphics profit/loss analysis show. perhaps there was a time when CINEMA was indeed a unique artform combining performance with photography, but whenever that era was it is no more.

>>4422323
>>4422352
He owned you, samefaggot. You can admit that and stop seething now
>>4422397
Photography is cinema at one frame held in suspension. You clearly haven't been reading the literature

all literature regarding the nature of art is pseuds whacking off desu. notice total non artists are drawn to it like moths to a flame.

>Most photography isn't art
All photographie is not art. and it shouldn't be.
It can convey artistic senses but not an art.

In fact, determining the photographie as an art is disrespecting it's fundamentals. If you treat it as an art form it becomes not photographie anymore.

>>4431827
This. Photography is a mosaic made of time. It's disrespectful to mislabel it as "art"

most paint isn't art. but that doesn't matter because it can do things art can't. paint is a medium for the four walls of your home, it can capture the sunlight.


photography is a medium, retard, what changes it is what you do with the thing. you probably just suck
