(July 22, 2011 at 3:17 pm)SAID/generalized to ALLL of you:
“…I think people here …
mob frenzy and feed on each others’ heat…
a culture of free floating anger…
In a culture modeled by Washington…”

My answer in your own words:
“Sniping criticisms always say more about the critics”

it’s funny how you say “In a culture modeled by Washington…” etc. What a simplistic, US-centric view. Go broaden your horizons, then try again.

Uncle Steve doesn’t really want to go, so sending the liver is the next best thing. The liver needs the help more than Uncle Steve does, anyway.

Panos, my Uncle Steve does not count as a super reliable source. His sources of information are his drinking buddies at McNally’s Bar & Grill, none of whom, as far as I can tell, have gotten off their barstools since Eisenhower was President and whose understanding of current events is somewhat limited, given that none of them have managed to get past the sports pages in the Daily News since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.

Not only that, you get the impression to be part of a wider community, or better: family. It is a place to center. You meet with friends, brothers and sisters. It is just great. I’m not writing very often, but I try to read all of it. I love this place.
And hey, you can even joke – be it bags, or glass doors…

In a culture modeled by Washington, people have come to think it’s their responsibility to take somebody down; and so criticism is now reaching for the lowest hanging fruit. I was surprised when I posted comments a while ago to be criticized by a post that complained about my screen name being arrogant: if I had become the target. (The person who “critiqued” my screen name obviously missed the allusion and the homage to someone else.) Much more useful than the critics are the commentators like Bob Black’s post, in which he reflects on what Ana Galan’s work contributes to the photographic conversation, what she is trying to achieve and achieving, why she would enter into a “dialogue” with Piero Della Francesca, and what her work suggests about where she may be going. I don’t think DAH has it right when he speculates that the more comments/criticisms posted, the more impact an essay has. I think people here work themselves into a mob frenzy and feed on each others’ heat. My guess is that in a culture of free floating anger, the most potent works of art shock viewers into silence, the very opposite reaction from wanton blather. Silence is where we go when something is so fresh it reorders our world.

It’s all just work and work, believing in yourself and listening to what means something to you.

I second what Paul said about burn being the “only photography website who doesn’t care two shits about whst camera you’re using”

it’s great not reading about tech stuff. I’m not going to lie here but I do like to look at lenses/cameras and what not but to read pages upon pages of boring technicalities is lame…really lame. I could not imagine reading that sort of thing here.
