Don`t know whether it is interesting or sad to more and more read "What would Ansel Adams have done...."
Ansel Adams died on April 22, 1984. That is 27 Years and 2 Months or more closely, at the time of this writing, about 9923 days ago.
Is it possible that NOT ONE photographer with the same or better abilities, insights and skills can be or has been found since then? Does it mean that he was the ONLY CREATIVE photographer ever? If this is the case it really would be a very, very, very sad day for photography as an art or even as a routine occupation.
Although it may be said with confidence that most subjects and photographic situations that we found ourselves in today have already been experienced by other photographers, it does not mean that we have to always think what other people would have done in the same situation. We are supposed to be individuals with our own skills, insights and creativity, thus we should be able to create unique images of "old" situations.
Maybe I understand it incorrectly.
Is it possible that by using the phrase "What would Ansel Adams have done...." that the proponents or slaves of the Great Mr Adams are trying to create COPY CATS or DUPLICATES of the said great photographer????
Or better still........ Is it because these proponents are experiencing photographer`s BLOCK or NEVER had ANY UNIQUE insights themselves? If this is true I`ll help you by setting upon a book that may or may not be able to break your block and give you insight......
WHAT A SHAME HAS BEFALLEN US?????
