MIXER

And so we begin with the phrase “mirroring the reality” - it is as simple as that. To illustrate this through an example let’s assume two landscape photographers capturing a particular vista. The first photographer studies the location then follows the weather forecast in anticipation of finding the optimal window of time to access the site. At the site, he searches for the best eye-catching spot from which he composes the frame precisely as he pictured in his mind. Later at home he processes the image in photoshop, and at last, he releases the final version to the public. His image apparently hasn’t gone unnoticed, a professional photographer from one of leading nature magazines scanned it and decided, on the spot, to seize the opportunity and capture a much grander version, or simply, to overdo it. Armed with top of the line photographic gear she went and stood on the same spot captured some pictures which she later advertised all over the place and thus, earned fame and recognition for her, so-called, original work. Although, one photographer used advanced photographic gear and smoothed her images using certain “makeup” slightly differently from the former, neither of them have left his intimate imprints on the photo as do painter with emotionally charge brush strokes slashed on canvas. So to sum up, style schmyle, it all was the work of mother nature - our fair heroes were at the same location only to mirror the reality and nothing else.

 

 

Now am wondering what would happen if I throw some colors and substances into the blank sheet of light? Well, I did so. And it was as the first day of school :-)
