shop art


Images via Tara

I have become addicted to shop window photography. To justify this addiction, I need to start gathering material for a long, academic, dreadfully boring article on how the art of museums is dead and the real art is being produced in commercially driven store front windows. Or, I could just go out and take more pictures.

  1. You could do both.

    Right?

  2. The art isn't in the windows;
    it's in your mind's eye via that
    cheap camara of yours: very well
    done.
    Make sure you collect them "on
    paper" and a selection of them
    frame them, with critic attached.
    I'll buy them early on, when I
    perhaps be able to afford them...
    Keep rolling, filming and critic-

  3. addendum

    Blow up your photos to window size
    on transparencies (lit from the
    back) with poems apropos. And for
    some of the poems you wrote, create
    apropos photos. And always have
    your image be part of it, even if
    you have to carry along a sliver
    of a mirror (a la Hitchcock).
    That will be some show...Good luck.
    Again: some of your photos and some
    of your poems are "it". RR

  4. thanks!!! I still have a ways to go, before either writing dull articles or staging an exhibition, but thanks to you both for your kind suggestions.
