Patty’s Traveler Log
Loading ...I’m interested in exploring the world of online photo sharing and the communities that develop within these websites (i.e. flickr, lomography.com). The lomo website has a lot of members who are interested in analog photography and convert these analog by scanning them – therefore adding a digital component to their work. I want to focus on how photography as an art is evolving and what digital and new media components are affecting its course. For example, the use of flickr as a platform to share your work with millions of people and the accessibility the internet is giving photographers (whether it be through a photojournalistic stand point or straight up art).
The idea that anyone can save your picture and print them – reminds me of an Andy Warholesque approach to photography – because you are taking art (which is thought of as untouched) and making it part of your own (if you like it and choose to) and printing it off of your computer. A sort of mass production approach or ripping if you will. It’s also interesting to see this retreat back to analog but with digital enhancements through photoshop, etc, etc.
It seems to be the direction I’m heading towards, but tell me if this doesn’t make any sense.
