A Valuable Lesson
He muses whether it might be beneficial to remove utility structures, for example telephone poles, in order to improve the artistic merit of an art piece. I have taken the liberty of illustrating this idea with a photo I took last year of a gorgeous summer sky. Unfortunately I could not avoid including in the shot a pole and wire or two in my composition. Now, some may argue that the unretouched picture, with intact telephone poles, is the preferable image, but I believe 9 out of 10 art experts prefer the less cluttered, more pastoral, composition of the bottom photo, where the poles have been delicately and carefully exorcised. Now the image softly chortles a beautiful melody of summer. Many would argue it is now poetry.
Sometimes it takes a little work, but there is almost always a way to take a striking image and make it even that much more strikingly beautiful.
Thank you George! A Gold Star and an A+ for you!!
