Commentary on the use of Photoshop in photography.

Was it art Ocklawaha? If so, it should have been presented that way.

[Ocklawaha]

That's what I'd call it. Here is a sample of what I'm talking about:



Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (French: Nu descendant un escalier n° 2) is a 1912 painting by Marcel Duchamp. The work is widely regarded as a Modernist classic and has become one of the most famous of its time. In its first presentation at the Parisian Salon des Indépendants, it was rejected by the Cubists and caused a huge stir during its exhibition at the 1913 Armory Show in New York following a press copy of an abuse scandal. The work is now found in permanent exhibition at the Louis and Walter Arensberg Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia.

The critic's called it "An explosion in a shingle factory," I call it art, in fact it became one of the defining pieces of the Art Deco movement as bold artists pulled away from the flowers and Tiffany glass of the Art Nouveau era.

Locally I've labeled the new courthouse "An explosion in a pillar factory." Though in it's own way, it too is art.

Your comment is well taken about our presentation of the subject matter, it is perhaps something we shall take up in a future board meeting.
