Leonardo Ninja Turtle
The Ninja Turtles have become cult figures among the Launceston Street artists. The other day we saw Raphael. Here is Leonardo.
Just a thought: I've heard it said, "Photographs of graffiti or street art or of other artist's work in general is not the photographer's work." Tell that to Martha Cooper! It's not the subject but the composition - the way the image is framed that makes a photograph.
Here is my twofold reply:
"(1) Without the photographer these works are not recorded for posterity, and
(2) By that definition we should forget photographing landscapes or buildings or anything else we didn't create with our own hands.
The easiest shot in the world is to find a brilliant location and shoot a landscape. That's one reason why so few photography landscapes are in art galleries. Painters do them better!
What is important is the composition. The selection or visual editing the photographer does.
