Sunday Funday!
On sunday we take a look at rare, vintage, cool and sometimes odd photography. We take that day to view, celebrate, critique and appreciate photography new and old. Feel free to comment below.
Images posted on Sunday Funday are not property of, nor were they created by Orange County, Greg Garcia Photography. Most of the images have been circulated around the internet and to my knowledge, free to be shared and appreciated.
I'm playing with a new series on my blog. Sunday Fun Day! It's to open up discussion regarding photography and it's impact. How the image not only records but also creates history.... Or, merely the appreciation of the image, the craft or the capture of a fleeting moment. In this age of digital photography and 7 frames per second or still images converted from video capture, the photographer's instinct of the decisive moment is dying. It's like the tuna fisherman that cast a huge net and so what if they kill some dolphin in the process. The creative image is turning into something that is created in post rather than the camera. For most, the image has turned into a commodity and they have resorted to the "numbers game" as opposed to creating and capturing a special moment in the camera. The game, the business has changed. This series is to appreciate, applaud, critique, and admire the works created primarily before technology got it's grasp on our art, craft and industry.
ReplyDeleteToday's images are not "Fun" so the title of the series may not be appropriate. The title is merely named so because these posts do not have anything to do with work. Today's posts being quite editorial in nature are here as a memorial on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Even though the subject matter does not have anything to do with 9/11 directly, they a simular in nature. Feel free to comment.
Feel free to submit images to be part of the discussion too if you like. greg@greggarciaphotography.com I'm not sure if you can post images in the comment section but you can email them to me directly.
Enjoy!
