>>4101913>OP places too much importance on “le creative process” & how everything has to be a conscious decisionNot everything, but there needs to be some degree of creative intent. You have to be more than a walking flesh CCTV camera.
>Many great photographs are made intuitively & instinctively. They may be great but not art.
>If OPs sole purpose for taking pictures is to make “art” and is overtly concern for making “art”, his process in itself is alrdy diluted, artificial and contrived. Bingo, you're getting close! Artificial comes from art. Pic related, educate yourself.
>OP judges Winogrand based on individual photographs and not his body of work as a whole. He believes art has to be confined arbitrarily by this rigid system. I’m not even going to bother addressing OP directly as he’s an idiot.His body of work as a whole is the most damning thing when it comes to the non-art nature of it. He sprayed so hard he left 2500 rolls of undeveloped film and 300000 unedited images. It's not because he was a prolific artist, it's because he was a spray and pray hack. Sometimes his prayers were heard and great images came through.
>Is this OP? kek’dNo, it's not me. Terry is one of my go-to examples of how the creative process is tantamount to art though. One might debate the photographic merit of his work, but it's undeniably art.
