Steve OR Steven Read

So last night I went to this thing called Self-Made at Double Daughter's. It's a creative forum of sorts that has different guest speakers every week who discuss their creative business.

Last night, I went and had the chance to hear from a local artist named Steve Read. Now, although at first, I'll admit I had a hard time getting into it (there is something about artists that we just aren't very good at discussing our work in any understandable fashion). But eventually I found his ideas really sparking some ideas within me...questions that someday I look forward to answering.

Check out this project of his...basically, he created a program that collects and displays random photos from the internet. As a photographer, it is interesting to look and see how amateurs compose images and wonder what that says about innate understanding of composition or lack thereof. How much has my training made a difference and how much is just within us as people....even those that don't consider themselves artists.

Interesting anyways.
