doca hehe! I'm not sure Michelle's original answer, "What the hell is that?", helped much. 4/5ths of my photos (I never post) could be described that way. The textbook answer helped more, but at the risk of being annoying, not sure I understand it either. I can relate to Jordy's answer; sometimes I wander around the "Modern" gallery at Chicago Art Institute. Some of the works look significant, but most are of the "Black Circle" variety. Most of the comments are similar to, "Is that Art, or did someone just spill paint on that ladder?" The good stuff, maybe Picasso to name one, I can appreciate as actually taking skill. I'd not be able to duplicate the same effect. This isn't really a rant. This should be an interesting month as we explore the topic.
