Response to Regard for Photographic History

from larry szoke (lszoke@icom.ca)
To answer your question, no I dont know who, but I am waiting to find out.

I am not adept enough to comment on the symbolism of your photography although I do find it interestingly engaging. The symbolism you intend surpasses me at times but I do spent time exploring the settings and in fact that, to me, is where my mind searches for clues within most photos. My interpretation of intended symbolism is just that mine, right or wrong, it needs not match what you wanted but at the very least the photo kept my attention for a while. Waynes take is different than mine (thankfully) and his assessments are rift with bias. His judgment of your purpose will never in a million years match yours; he is not you. I dont believe technique determines art. The viewer does. The effort of the photographer helps to determine art. The curator has a say, but time will ultimately decide. His comments on settings and content are irrelevant to the image; in fact I find them to slanted. I know what I enjoy though I lack the skill to verbalize it effectively. I do enjoy much of the work posted on this forum; it speaks volumes about the creator of those photos.

Thank you Jeff
