kuddel Posted June 14, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 14, 2007 I saw the film, a documentary, about Burtynsky, at the Dok. Fest 2007 ,a film festival for documentary cinema, in Munich and I can recommend that film very much. I case it will be shown a cinema near your place it is worth to watch it. The film describes his work, intention and some background information about the place he took pictures. Unfortunately did not have the opportunity to see one of his exhibitions. A thread concerning industry/mankind is a good idea in my opinion. Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterv Posted June 14, 2007 Share #13 Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks Azzo and Vic for the nice compliments regarding my photo. I agree that this thread could be moved to 'landscapes' or 'other'. But the photo's we make about environmental issues should get more attention. Maybe a new 'environment' thread? Mods? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vic Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted June 14, 2007 hi again to everybody... no i dont think this thread should be remeoved to landscape. it is not about landscape. it is all about us. it is all about the comfort we have from the industry, the shit we make with our home-earth etc etc. environment is about people. industry is about consuming culture and that is all about us. and contribute to this thread as much as u can, discuss, and of course post pics. environment is our home for everybody regardless of nation etc. and thats really regardless of anything ) here we are really in the same boat ) it is all about us - people.

vic vic Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share #19 Posted June 15, 2007 tuna, good to see u here. i love many of your fotos very much. they have some unusual sensitivity and "touch" to them, tender sometimes but bold. the foto... i love it very much. love the super simplicity and "classic" composition in this image that quetly and intelegently leaves the whole scene to the messege of "globalization". ------------------------------------------- as we are talking these days about criticism on this forum..... lets look at the comparison between two "landscape" fotos of tuna and jan. lets make ANALOGIA of Photo-making to Speacking (words, literature, poetry). every one has his/her way to speack. some do it quitly, others noisy, some shortly, others detailed. some talk nonesense, others smart and explanatory, some talk humor, others tough ) the same is here. tuna, shows a quite talk (in his super simple compostion), and gives to his presentation in this case a sense of obviosness, directness and objectivizm. jan talks dramatically - almost like a short speach, he blocks the sky, makes the photo beautiful and stylized, and underneath there is a messege (at least in this context). his photo is far from being objective representation, but it can be as though it is taken from sheackspear - beautiful nice talks and hard stricks underneath. those are two ways to talk about subjects (envronment issues in our case) - like a poetic style differances... dont think about pphoto only as compose/exposure... tuna.. there is some harshness in tonality, but it is difficult to judge it on interent. im sure that the negative (u use film?) has much more potential.
