I think though that originality means different things to different people , I have often read the remarks of others who will say " do we really need another picture of ...(insert word here), of course if that were the case no one would be making many pictures of anything . I do think though that what photographers think of being "original" and what the average person who is not a photographer may be two different things. For example some photographers would know the work of Ansel Adams inside and out, but if you aren't a photographer you might have heard the name of Ansel Adams but you wouldn't be as familiar with all of his pictures, so in that sense Ansel's work would be fresh and new to you. <br /><br />What I think would also be interesting is to have an exhibit of photography somewhere that shows a particular place and showing two or more images taken by different photographers not knowing how the other was photographing it, it would be interesting to see how many similarities show up.<br /><br />GaryGary Nylanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843607225237788027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-4076308872803355882012-01-27T03:06:25.416-07:002012-01-27T03:06:25.416-07:00George, you write about similarities in terms of a...George, you write about similarities in terms of art, way of seeing and artist's interpretations, but the world gets mad about copyrights:<br />http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/01/25/Imitated_Image_Copyright_Case<br />So maybe making similar photographs (or taking inspiration from other artist) will be illegal soon.
