Purpose

Ongoing CHALLENGE !!!

If your picture has been blogged here, it means that it has appealed to over 300 art jurors (currently 50 active) for a whole week or more. That is an achievement!!!

... and what does that mean ??? well according to This ... it means your picture is "... extremely resistant to people wanting to get rid of it", :)

If you see one single picture in this group that you think is not art, please say so (by commenting on it) and tell us why. If you are convincing - we will remove it. This group is to show case the most resistive pictures from the
B&W Art Photography - Is Your Art universal

ROSAS, originally uploaded by bocángel.

Esta foto la he incorporado para congraciarme con todas aquellas personas a las que he criticado por hacer fotos de flores, para demostrarles que yo también he caído en la trampa de la belleza primaveral y efímera (quien esté libre de pecado que arroje la primera piedra). Eso sí, siempre pretendo ir un poco más allá, no quedarme en la simple foto testimonial.

Sunny Lane Spins the Mojave


Sunny Lane Spins the Mojave, originally uploaded by P.S.Zollo.

Known as
"The Shirley Temple of
Porn," she is a star of erotic
movies and is presently on a tour
of sorts of Deja Vu strip clubs
around America. Saturday night
she brought her show to
one such club in Ontario,
California - where I photographed
her again
for Stiletto magazine-
she's featured previously
in this stream. And so I invited
her - with her stripper pole -
to take a drive out to the
desert with me the next morning-
after a rare thunderburst-
and so she did -
or perhaps I dreamed it.
Whichever, I managed to
get this picture
of
Sunny Lane spinning
over a parking lot in
the Mojave desert
after the rain.

September Song


September Song, originally uploaded by LSR2.

Oh it’s a long, long while
from May ‘till December
And the days grow short
When you reach September.
When the Autumn weather
turns the leaves to flame
One hasn’t got time
For the waiting game.

For the days dwindle down
To a precious few...

"The September Song" (Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson)

Abandoned Sanatorium

"E' degno di un'anima eletta purificarsi e purificare il prossimo col suo contatto.
Come non c'è tradimento che non si perdoni, non c'è colpa da cui non ci si possa far assolvere, né oblio che non si possa colmare, così c'è una scienza dell'amare il prossimo e trovarlo amabile, come c'è un saper vivere bene.
Più uno spirito è delicato, più scopre bellezze originali; più un animo è tenero e aperto alla divina speranza, più trova negli altri, per infangati che siano, ragioni d'amore.
(La Fanfarlo, Charles Baudelaire)

..riportata alla mente grazie allo stream di Giovanni, non ricordavo fosse così bello
