>>3700101It is not a picture of nothing
>>3700110Pic related I always thought was better
>>3700114Photography is not even close to being big enough to warrant a herd mentality. A lot of contemporary photographers don't think Friedlander's work is worthwhile anymore so I'm not sure what you're basing any of your comment out of.
>>3700127>>3700155You don't know? "Perhaps"? So are you sure or not sure what a meaningful scene is? I would argue that this or any photo don't need to have a meaningful scene attach to them. This picture in particular was never intended to be seen by itself; this is a part of a larger project called Memphis. _Perhaps_ you should take a look at the rest of the project and try to see if you can compose any grander connection between them and think about what Friedlander was trying to showcase with it.
>>3700199It's much easier to think someone inexperienced in an art form can recreate and gain the same level of notoriety as those who pioneered and made a certain aesthetic/style common to the average enthusiast. This statement however already does a disservice by taking Friedlander's work that's being talked about ITT and summing it up as 'snap street photos'.
>>3700306You do not know what you're talking about. Most renowned contemporary photographers come from all walks of life and do not gain a sustainable income from direct art sales.
>>3700359This. People fail to understand that a lot of these common name photographers take literally hundreds, if not thousands of contact sheets worth of photos. They spend literally their entire time consume in this. The more work you put in the better work you'll produce.
>>3700361What is good art to you and can you give me and example if there is something? Or is all of it 'shitty art' to you?
>Stop being smug about itYou're generalizing and being smug while gate keeping people into liking these sort of artworks. I do hope you realize that's how you come across.
