Marie Laigneau on Photography and Tension:
Tension [..] is your storytelling ingredient: it opens the door to the imagination, the possible, the dream. It defies the predictable and the expected. It is your key to the extraordinary.via Storytelling in street photography: Disrupting the harmony by Marie Laigneau.
More on Art - The Art of the Street ..
It's everywhere if you take the time to look. Some more glaringly obvious than others. And some of amazing skill, talent, aesthetics and colour coordination, while others less so, just like the Art of the Gallary Wall. And some more engaging and meaningful than others. I see something new everyday on my walk to and from work through The Gallery of Street. Price of admission is a pair of shoes, an open mind, and good senses of observation and curiosity.
It is a global phenomena and the Art of the Street is everywhere I have travelled. It is no doubt a human instinct deeply embedded in us from the dawn of mankind, starting with the primitive scratchings on the cave wall. What makes it so engaging is its immediacy and the ability to address the issues of our lives in the here and now.
Ransom Riggs on Art and Street Art:
[Art can be] what’s painted on the outside of the museum wall that reflects what [we] - at least the ones wielding cans of spray-paint - are thinking now.via Photos: Venice Graffiti (Thu 17 Sep 2009) by eljeiffel.
Stephen Dupont on the Gift of Photography:
I feel more grateful more than anything, that I'm allowed to go in and capture these moments, because you don't take pictures . . . you're given pictures, it's a giftvia Photojournalist Stephen Dupont captures modern-day Papua New Guinea by Ella Rubeli.
