i went with the flow this afternoon. throwing off shackles of thought my conscious dialogue explored the forthcoming possibility of making and showing work in a photographic society context.
in my moments of flow today i started to make new connections in the art and sport realm of interest. the competitive nature of the photographic society providing a backdrop of unpredictability, something what attracts me to the sporting domain.
yet within that competitiveness, what is the game?
early demonstrations indicate an importance of technical competence, for this is in the most part how images are differentiated while in the competitive arena. but what of titling.
the competitions show us the image and present us with a title. judges speak of rules and excelling the opportunities to break them. i spoke of an idea i have for titling an image taken a few years ago. my interest in setting up a reactionary narrative within the viewer. the reaction was favourable.
while i sat catching up my heckles were aroused and i could feel some potential fun exploring photography as an expressive medium, intentinally going beyond mere technical proficiency.
i’m begining to react and respond to what i’m seeing. i’m starting to feel what i might do. my mind is open to process and exploring what comes of that.
early indications are i’m exploring acceptance and context by risky blatant rule breaking within an unpredictable competitive environment.
i’m up for joining the society and making my voice heard.
