21 Sep 08 - You've got to got to got to tell me what the piece of art/who made it originally or I make cut your photo. Please honor the original artist/art and share the info!
This is for re-interpretations of "man-made" art only: music, photography, sculpture, etc.
Secondly, please don't give us "documentary shots" - just a photograph of a piece of art. There should be something *interpretative* to Ekphrastics, making your own new piece of art out of someone else's, while still respecting the "essence".

About Ekphrastics

In poetry, an ekphrastic poem is a poem about a piece of art. It is not documentary in nature, rather, a poem which makes a new piece of art out of interpreting and appreciating the nature of the artwork the poem is "about". There isn\'t a photography equivalent to this yet, so I invite you to help me build one!
