crossing borders

[Wolfgang Plattner]

Hi

digital files offer various possibilities.
I often use them to cross or to blur borders between so called "classical photography" and "painting".
When I did this shot yesterday, I had exactly this idea of the final output:

Wolfgang,

This is just as I would prefer it to be. Once lenses were pretty well perfected at the turn of the 19th Century to provide photographers with stunningly sharp images, photographers became restless for a more gentle finish to this new imaging process.

A tremendous effort was made everywhere to render images softer and take away the un-emotive clinical documentation feel of accurate edges and transitions.

Your picture would have been welcomed as revolutionary!

......but you couldn’t let on that you were from 100 years in the future!
