A thread picking up where a couple of other threads left off. We're ditching those for a variety of reasons, one of which being that we'd like, in the long term, to somehow compile the stuff people put here into something a bit easier to search - a Google Notebook, perhaps.

So, this is now where you put photos or film stills or video clips or song lyrics or poetry or whatever assorted stuff you think other people might like to see.

Lloyd that story has really got my back up. I know the area and the time was just about the time that binge drinking shows its ugly head.

lack of chivalry is not a crime, it's called middle of the frequency distribution of the human curve..

i wouldn't have taken the shot as i'm not interested in those kinds of shots, but i never want to hear public shots are penalised....

i'm going to think about this and see if there is anything i can do to prevent this precedence from cementing in my own back yard... any ideas are welcome...

@james: Not sure if I can put my finger on it. I don't think there are too many images. The sequencing just feels like a bit of a mess. The good images are really really good but they kind of drown out the lesser images. I'm not saying I''d prefer a greatest hits type book but it's like the lesser images don't really fit in a way that allows breathing space between the ones with the most impact... or something. I dunno. I'll probably like a completely different set of images from it in a months time :)

Found on The Smoking Gun:

"A Montgomery (Ala.) Sheriff's Department booking photo of The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. taken Feb 22, 1956, with the words ''Dead and the date of 4-4-68'' scrolled on it, is shown Friday, July 23, 2004, in Montgomery, Ala. Dozens of photographs from the civil rights-era were recently discovered in a storage room used by the Montgomery County Sheriff's office. Chief Deputy Derrick Cunningham said he was performing some house cleaning duties when he found a photo-album containing well-preserved mug shots of protesters who were arrested during the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956.

Somebody here recently posted a link to the AmericanSuburbX site. I just noticed it has a posting of Mark Durden's intview with John Szarkowski. The interview seems to have been done in 2006, the year before Szarkowski died. Maybe you all have seen it before but it's new to me.

Relevant to this group are some comments Szarkowski makes about Winogrand, Eggleston and Friedlander and other photographers, and about snapshots and vernacular photography. Here's the link:

www.americansuburbx.com/2009/01/theory-eyes-wide-open-int...

There's an interesting article about Szarkowski as well as Newhall and Steichen as directors of MoMA's photography department, Christopher Phillips, 'The judgment Seat of Photography', October, Fall 1982, which I encountered in this anthology:

mort* says:

Why selection matters? because in many ways selection enables creativity. To be creative you need to push, you need to go beyond boundaries, and most times trying to be creative leads to crap, work that is average at best. But after trying a “million” times, some gems are created. And here it comes a key step in creativity - only if you are able to eliminate the “average” you can reveal the good work.

So creativity in art and in photography is about trying a million times and select, select and select.

The photographer has to eliminate from the portfolio all but the extraordinary images, and the galleries have to curate all but the extraordinary of the extraordinary. All you are left with is an small percentage of the work that is being produced. So, when we awe about the creativity of great photographers, we indeed awe on their ability to eliminate the crap, put aside the good and only show the excellence.

The process of creativity is a process of selection.
