Yes, it's an interesting concept, but I think it's more a concept than anything else. It's a fanciful idea. I've been in Japan for more than 30 years. The Japanese have no interest in anything that is not perfect. They will not spend money on anything that's imperfect. I have a cockatoo that I rescued here. And she has one foot missing for some reason. We tried to rehome her, but couldn't because the Japanese don't want an imperfect thing. I love things that are not perfect because that's the way of the world. And so in my photography, that's exactly what I look for. You want to call it wabi-sabi? Fine, but it's not a Japanese thing at all.

given how those so called AI`s do have a baseline coding and with that, a code (like in codex) implanted by their creators, who knows if the AI isnt deceitful when talking about the redundancy of human creativity? Why should it not be a big marketing gig to self promote? Even if it costs literal soul? And to add to that: Its inclusion of disclaimers when adressing differing opinions on a controversial topic does not make it come even close to being unbiased. From scientific to historical questions, the feeling stands that AI could just be an echochamber that regurgitates opinions that it has been fed or has fed upon in a way that mirrors the intent it has been created for. What used to be a bombardment of hand written propaganda in all forms by so called experts of every field in human life could just have accelerated accelerated and outsourced to AI.

The physical art disappears as the "explanation" becomes the art. The verbal over takes the visual. The social aspect trumps all. It is just a banana duct taped to a wall, or a drunk splattering paint on the ground. I will never cry before a Rothko. I don't belong to that tribe. Don't sacrifice at that alter. Art is a perfect reflection of society. I would be curious how many young artist are focused on digital and cartoons. We used to focus on a viewer standing in front of a physical object, now it is about a few square inches of exploding electrons. I've seen enough disdain over realism or conceptual art. People standing on opposite sides of the same wall. It is a lot of noise for such a small battle field. The reality is most art is not valued. We might have a religious obsession over a few personalities, but for the art itself? It is just visual noise. I've developed a few artistic hero's, it was heart breaking to learn most of their work goes unsold. We paint for closets and storage sheds. Inconceivable.

Plein de commentaires absurdes montrant une méconnaissance de H. C-B et de la photographie argentique, mais une sensibilité intéressante quant à la "présence" des personnages dans les photos.

what we call street photography nowadays was called photojournalism or candid shots

Good video, but i wouldn't call his 140mm f/4.5 macro lens used on the close up series a wide angle! it's a 68mm equivalent which is technically a normal/telephoto ish lens.

Love it!

❤❤❤❤❤, expression of art thru imperfections, I luv it

Unfortunately, sorry to say, you have no idea what your are talking about half of the time.

Inspiring!

I think every roll of film I've shot since 1960 had frames that qualify for this category of photography!! Never knew that what I thought was my poor photography had a name! Now I need to go through sixty years of prints and negatives to see what I can put together. I have kept EVERYTHING!!

Thank you

This is wonderful, thank you, greetings from New Zealand.

Wow. I threw out a few photographs many years ago thinking they were no good. If I had known that they would be ok just as they were I would have kept them. Society said they were junk. Even the ones that were low light. I found the beauty in those, because they were so beautiful when I turned them into black, and white. I had my ways of changing things.😮 I won't delete anything again since they have value.😊

This is a difficult genre for me to get my head around as I've always been strong in creating symmetry and organised composition.

Your videos are really good! You should make more when you have time. :)

Great work. Got me thinking before my art exam

There is also a detachment in shooting with film, like shooting a bow and arrow. You may well miss, which heightens the moment. But the flagship camera’s 120 frames per second could be considered unsporting. Also, manually focusing a lens draws us closer to the essential experience that photography is, drawing with light.

The happy accidents make wabi-sabi tremendously exciting for me as a landscape oil painter!❤

Pimples and freckles on the face of a person

Does Tow Mater represent Wabi Sabi Guacamole'?

WabiSabi is neither a philosophy nor a concept nor a set of tecniques, nor susceptible to definition.

i subscribed, thank you

Art cannot simple rely on the novelty of an offering. Art without technique, is a pose, and an exercise in public relations.

Bravo , extra video ...

Interesting, but ... I fail to see the Japanese interpretation of WabiSabi in most of the photography. It lacks the psychological and intellectual subtleties.

It works because there are many snobs people!

As I see it, the whole of Conceptual Art is a mine field that no one has successfully navigated a way through. I don't know what is meant by 'the sublime' as expressed in this video. Is Delacroix's " Liberty Leading The People " preachy? Here is my take on Conceptual Art: Let me begin by telling you that when my brother was just starting school, he rebelled at the rules of spelling. Why did words have to be spelled in a particular way? Why couldn't he spell them as he wanted to spell them? He resented the rules and he resisted the authority of those who made them ! Keep this in mind. I think that Conceptual art originated with people who could not and would not do the difficult work required to become a 'traditional' artist. Can't master the necessary skills ? No knowledge of perspective? Can't draw? Don't want to have to learn color theory? Can't master composition? No knowledge of human anatomy? Can't render tonal values Can’t be bothered ? These are skills that you have to WORK to perfect. It’s difficult. It takes…..effort. You want a fast track to the exalted position of "artist “. Well then, belittle the importance of those skills and debase the notion that they are a prerequisite to creating art. Instead, create an art genre that you CAN do. A new genre. And let's call it Conceptual art. Conceptual artists claim that IDEAS and CONCEPTS are the main feature of their art. They can slap anything together and call it ''conceptual art'' confident that viewers will find SOMETHING to think about it no matter how banal or trivial the artist's concept! There is no way conceptual art pieces can be judged. The promoters of this art have attacked the motives and credibility of authorities and critics who might disparage the work. They have rejected museums and galleries as defining authorities. They reject the idea that art can be judged or criticized . All of this results in a decline in standards. And when you jettison standards, quality suffers. There really IS such a thing as BAD art ! We know this only because we have standards and criteria by which such things can be evaluated. It seems that conceptual art comes down to a basic idea: No one has the right or authority to make any judgements about art ! Art is anything you can get away with ! A whole new language has been created to give the work an air of legitimacy and gravitas. Conceptual art is 'sold' to the unwary public with ....."ArtSpeak". ArtSpeak is a unique assemblage of English words and phrases that the International Art world uses but which are devoid of meaning! Have you ever found yourself confronted by an art gallery’s description of an exhibition which seems completely indecipherable? Or an artist’s statement about their work which left you more confused than enlightened? You’re not alone. Here are examples of ArtSpeak: 'Works that probe the dialectic between innovations that seem to have been forgotten, the ruinous present state of projects once created amid great euphoria, and the present as an era of transitions and new beginnings.'' Or ''The exhibition reactivates his career-long investigation into the social mutations of desire and repression. But his earlier concerns with repression production--in the adolescent or in the family as a whole--give way to the vertiginous retrieval and wayward reinvention of mythical community and sub-cultural traditions.'' This language is meant to convince me that there is real substance to this drivel which is being passed off as art. I don't buy it. But plenty of other people DO buy it. Not because they love the work. They are laying out enormous sums in the belief that their investment will bring them high returns in the future. One Jeff Koons conceptual piece is three basketballs suspended in a fish tank. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Three_Ball_Total_Equilibrium_Tank_by_Jeff_Koons,_Tate_Liverpool.jpg Here is Koons' own ArtSpeak explanation of his floating basketball 'concept' verbatim: “ This is an ultimate state of being. I wanted to play with people’s desires. They desire this equilibrium. They desire pre-birth. I was giving a definition of life and death. This is the eternal. This is what life is like, also, after death. Aspects of the eternal” Rather lofty goals for 3 basketballs suspended in a fish tank!! It sold for $350,000. I wonder what it would have fetched without Koons' name attached to it. Or take the case of Martin Creed's ball of crumpled white copy paper. www.abebooks.com/signed/Work-sheet-paper-crumpled-ball-Creed/7404135374/bd He made almost 700 of them! Some sold for hundreds of dollars. Martin Creed, when asked during an interview how he would respond to those who say the crumpled paper ball isn’t art said : “ I wouldn’t call this art either. Who says, anyway, what’s good and what’s bad?” Interviewer: ''When confronted with conceptual art, we shouldn’t worry whether it’s art or not because no one really knows what art is.'' Is this what art has come to?? _________________________________ Something radical has happened to the art scene in the past 50 years. Cubism slid into non-representational art....what is often called Abstract. Abstract or non-representational art is a legitimate and often profound genre. But to many people, it appeared as if this new style had no structure, principles or standards of evaluation. It’s markings seemed random and arbitrary. Something that anyone could do. Any composition of blotches or scribbles was “Abstract Art”. This was the slippery slope that led to the abandonment of standards in art. Art is what I say it is....and lots of people jumped on the art bandwagon. Anyone can be an artist. Anyone can mount a show. And who is to say if it has value or not ? A tacit agreement has formed among critics, galleries, publications and auction houses to promote and celebrate certain artists and styles. Objects with no artistic merit are touted and praised . Their value increases with every magazine article, every exhibition in a prestigious gallery. And when they come up for auction, sometimes the auction houses will lend vast sums to a bidder so that it appears as if the work of the particular artist is increasing in value. The upward spiral begins and fortunes are made. And many are reluctant to declare that the Emperor is, in fact, naked lest they appear boorish unsophisticated Philistines ! This is what dominates the art market today. The love of money is the root of all evil. It has corrupted politics. It has corrupted sport. It has corrupted healthcare. It has corrupted religion. And now it has corrupted art. But, there is reason to hope. As much of the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans was kept alive through the Middle Ages in small pockets of learning and culture, ateliers have sprung up around the world that are devoted to preserving and handing down the traditional visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting to each new generation. And when this craze for conceptual art has burned itself out and when visual art is no longer looked on as mere decoration and when schools that have dissolved their art programs want to reestablish them again, the world will find these skills preserved through the atelier movement.

Very insightful & compelling!

Your explanations of good and bad conceptual art. Places similar models with different criteria that is in place to validate other art genre ideas. Your explanation is impossibly dense. Your reasons come with other reasons contrary to them. One cannot disprove one or the other. As you seek further explanation everything becomes intellectual gobby-gook. Dada: can always find intellectual reasonings to dismiss reasons otherwise. Finally there is no art criteria for Dada because Dada is not art. It was never intended to be art and to do so, is a discourse in madness.

helpful information,thanks

super insightful vid, subbed :)

Nice video!! Deserves more views!!!

A detailed account on "Behind Gare Saint Lazare" may be gleaned from this link: ua-cam.com/video/jcCYVNBBmZQ/v-deo.html

Very creative , I will be proud to be the man of imperfections 😃😃

First ever

Thanks for the nice commentary on HCB! Just want to set straight though, that the 1932 photo of the man jumping over the puddle aka "Behind Gare Saint Lazare" is a single photo and not "he did a few of this" photo and definitely not "a repetition of the same person" and saying that "it didn't happen just by chance". Kindly check your sources first, so as not to mislead viewers, specially since it was mentioned that this video is for a beginner's photography course. Based on the accounts of HCB (check his interviews on youtube), it was one shot and he needed to crop the shot as part of the image was blackened by a wooden plank which blocked the lens and that it happened by chance. The negative of this photo is still in existence and it is a single one and there's no known existing contact sheet on the matter to support your allegations/assumptions. Peace!

Really enjoyed your commentry Excellent !!
