albertwang Posted August 31, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 31, 2006 Okay, isn't the first photo directly "lifted" from the famed William Eggleston tricycle photo? Geewhiz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradreiman Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 31, 2006 albert-yes this is exactly the same eggleston photo. sorry i put my name on it. woops you caught me. no-actually i first saw the eggleston photo after i took this one and found it interesting. this was not set up, just as i saw it. you're joking right?

albertwang Posted August 31, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 31, 2006 Fascinating. I loved the original photo and this homage is rather delightful. Perhaps all photogs have some universal collective memory that we draw our images from. Of course, the fact that you found out about the Eggleston photo after shooting it makes it rather fascinating. The deconstruction of the Katrina background is another story. I would stick with the idea of abandoned property instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradreiman Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted August 31, 2006 im sure most photography and art and music in general is derivitave in some way anymore. whether conscious or not. to accuse someone of "lifting" is quite another. as far as deconstructing katrina or whatever you said, i have no idea what you mean and simply walked around for months with tears in my eyes photographing my city in ruins. these are a couple of the thousands of images that stand out to me. thanks for looking....b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted August 31, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2006 breidlyy and labert... first of all, fantastic photo... at first i thought that u mimiced the eggleston well known photograph, and that is ok with me. but as u say that u saw the eggleston only after.... well... i have lots of stories like this both in philosophy and in photography. once i have made some photos, and the fine art professor who was in the darkrrom of university made a very nice remark about it, but he told me that i shall try to go with something original. original??? - ya - he thought it was a copy from irving penn. that time i only heard about some great photog called penn, but from then i studied his works serioulsy :-))) well - today - i do get original and i do make "copies/interpretations" intentionally from time to time as a honor from me to the great photographers that i love :-)) the same happened in philosophy sometimes... oh - that idea basically was already pronounced and developed by weitginstein :-(( shit - i thought i git something there :-)))) but keep on - at the botton line i got something - not sure if as important as weitgenstein but deffenetly orginal and intelegent :-))) the photograph is very good and very powerful in this particular context Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted August 31, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I apologize for my comments. The question of whether anyone can be truly original is another story for another thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 31, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 31, 2006 Not everyone who takes photographs is familiar with every famous photographer, nor their whole canon of work. I would like to see more of this series, Brad. Thanks for sharing these two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted September 2, 2006 Share #14 Posted September 2, 2006 Brad, These photo's certainly speak of devastation and things lost. There is an element of grief in them I find very genuine.
