I think there is good and bad.

Bad = mine. Not very artistic. I find taking photographs relaxing.

Good = davemac. His photos are amazing. Seen the one of butterfly?

Oh and drinking can be a form of art...i suppose

I visited that exhibition in Liverpool but can't say it moved me at all. The trouble with Klimt, like Monet, is that he has become very over-exposed.

This is her Flicka work but if you Google her you can find a lot more -particularly her short film work on Vimeo.com as well as her own blog.

It is artistic photography!

Lauren

Edit - fixed the link now - Neil
Thanks Neil!! You are a star as always.

I have unfortunately never seen any of his work in exposition, only photos.

I don't believe he suffers from over-exposure -apart from "The Kiss" most would not recognise his work...

I find it rich and it draws you in -there are also some excellent line drawngs I've seen, very different.
