The first two pieces that struck me, well to be honest all of my selections kind of struck me, but the two that made an impact were 32 Miles Of Lake George and Jam Session by Steve Smulka.
I think the sheer scale of the first one is what naturally drew me to it, that and it is a photograph which is what I was mainly looking for. Being a photographer myself I was curious to see what other photographers were taking pictures of. I also really loved the colors in this picture. What drew me to Jam Session was how lifelike it looked. Someone could have easily mistaken that for a photograph.
I think the pieces I connected with the most were Adirondack Guide Boat Sunrise from Little Recluse and Midrace by Disney.
I feel like these are pictures that I myself could have taken, because I like to take shots of scenery with a wide range of color, and when I'm taking pictures on the fly I like to get right in the action.
Honestly the pieces I would like to know more about the Lake George pieces but I've already used those, so my third choice I guess would be Dexter With Calf by Leslie Peck and Horse Power by Chammer.
The first piece seems so gentle and calming, while the second piece is very wild and exciting. Both pieces just stand out for some reason and you want to know why.
I have never heard of the gallery that you visited, but after viewing your pictures I will plan a visit. I also enjoy photography and seeing how others interpret their visions behind a camera. One question I do have is the Masonary Jars, you said one could easily mistake this for a photograph. Its not a photograph? Is it a painting? Viewing it this way makes it seem unbelievable that it is anything but a photograph. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteI love the landscape photographs. They are beautiful.
