What is photography?

What is photography?

Photography only recaptures monodimensionally what the force of nature already created. But why to we bother to call it an art when all we have today is a symphony of elements combining so much more than just a few lenses and a click?

For some, it seems to be a great pleasure, an unforgettable passion, their life. For others, a way to show to the world what they experienced, saw, felt, have or wore.
In its essence, the MOST authentic way to show life before our life.
But then, we also had painting, sculptures, primitive art...

Looking at reasons for which photography is so important to others, I came to a conclusion for myself:

Photography is here so that WE can put our own soul into what others created,

so that WE can remember what life meant to us in a certain moment,

so that WE can write history, in pictures, from here to the next era.

Bye Bye Suspicious Ice Cream, Hello THE ART AGENDA

For all those of you who used to know my blog as Suspicious Ice Cream, today I have decided it needed a revival, something more clear, simple and general. How did I get this "revolutionary" idea? By reading an article in Art Out magazine about Brancusi, one of Romania's most influential artists of the 20th Century. Here's what he says about simplicity, probably the most evident and dominant aspect of his work:

"Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one unwillingly gets to it as one approaches to the real meaning of things. Simplicity is itself a complexity and one should feed himself with the essence in order to truly understand its value. Simplicity in art is, generally, a resolved complexity."

It might seem a bit to abstract and profound to result in a blog name change. Well, it is, but as it helped me change my vision over art, it also inspired me in changing my identity (on Internet!)
to something more...mature(??).


And although the identity might be different, the content remains the same:
Art, Fashion, Photography, Architecture and other addictions.

Sempé

At the Hotel de Ville in Paris you can find a wonderful free entrance exhibition about the famous cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé who is particularly known for the illustration series of Le Petit Nicolas. What I find beautiful in his drawings is his capability of showing grace and sensibility within the details, the lines and the colors. Everything seems in perfect harmony although proportions and often human figures are not well shaped. If you live in Paris or happen to be there, just tale 10 mins of your time (unless there is a queue) and take a look inside the Hotel de Ville. You’ll be amazed!
