18 Mar 09 - THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP, not about re-manipulating in software or painting programs -- not about rephotographing your own work, but about finding other creative work in the world & making it your own via style!

Work that seems out of keeping with the goals of this manifesto will be removed when the overworked administrators have time. Please don't repost -- THANKS!

About Artistic Appropriation

Artistic Appropriation. Get yours at flagrantdisregard.com/flickr

Yes the key component may well be someone else’s work.

You however have made it your own. It could be a billboard, an art work in a gallery, graffiti on the wall. The difference is you have interpreted the subject in a way that clearly makes the final image your own.

It might have started out in someone else’s domain but it is now clearly your own work of art.

No direct copies.

Your control of the composition is clearly apparent.

Your work extends the meaning of what you have photographed.

You are a master of appropriation.
