I've been on the family holiday last two weeks. Full time with young chidren meant I was reduced to taking schmultz and cliches like this:

and this:

Honestly I feel dirty!

 

These are about the only images from two weeks away that I genuinely feel happy about:

I am amused by your post.

 

Nobody has made you go away with your family for 2 weeks. Nobody has made you post  your "schmaltz"!  (So, why did you bother to do so?)  

 

And  all of that has made you "feel dirty"?

 

Perhaps you need to take some happy pills, after such an overwhelming 2 weeks. In all that time you could not find some spontaneous moments of your family/children laughing and smiling while playing in the water?

I was being ironic. I know that irony isn't something you guys do though so your comment doesn't surprise me :p The whole high context/low context culture thing is always very amusing.

Well, at least I was able to humor you.

 

I guess spontaneity of laughing happy faces is just not your thing. Happy memories? Not sure I'd call your comments "ironic" rather than "haughty" or even "dogmatic". Perhaps you should simply accept that the medium of photography offers many others differing things than it does for you. As an artist can you not create in that realm?

 

I still cannot figure out why you bothered to make your original post to a forum which 'does not do irony'. :)

No I think you're very right about this. I don't find much interest in those kinds of expressions; that in itself is interesting and worth reflecting on (for me personally I mean). I have done this to be fair and I have reached many conclusions as to why this is the case. It's tied up closely with childhood experiences, which were pretty traumatic. I do have many 'happy memories' from childhood, but there are also a lot of very dark memories also. It's one of the reasons why most of my photographs of my children focus more on exploring their sensitivity, vulnerability and doubt. Those themes are of more interest to me; it's a form of therapy.

I think in this case, that's just the difference between your (low context) culture and my (high context culture), but I wouldn't for one moment deny being 'dogmatic'. Absolutely guilty as charged there!

Of coures I can accept that; well, that is to say that there is an inalieable truth to what people chose to create. That thing that you present to the world is as real as anything else anyone choses to present to the world. But those things will still be held up for critique. I'm still not comfortable with the title of 'artist' though. I choose to create but I feel my interest lies more with the underlying psychology of people than the artistry of the image.
