"Every artist, was once an amateur"
The connection to your post is how we don't know what art is. How can a policeman know? Few would have art degrees.
Makes you wonder about who we give power to, doesn't it.

I believe if someone posted most of these here, they would receive negative critiques based on composition, contrast and other "flaws".
No one seems to know the origin but it fits. "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like."

"Every artist, was once an amateur"
Then again I am not classically trained in art.
When the last candle has been blown out
and the last glass of champagne has been drunk
All that you are left with are the memories and the images-David Cooke.
What matters is he captured the humanity. He allowed us to feel what they felt at that time. We shared in their struggle.
It isn't hard to understand WHY some work stands out over others. Just ask yourself, does it speak to me? Did I feel something? Did I learn something new?

PS Try some of Selbastio Selgado's black & whites. He shoots for the UN. Much easier to see the importance of the human element in them. Migration is an extremely important work for the UN as well as the rest of the world. How people migrate to where there is food and jobs. It changes everything.

Our humanity also exists in things not human. For example, Shadow's stairway, and the old cars. You have a sense for the people who once used them. Or dang's macros of insects. He is showing us something. Look --- it's really purty!
John loves those eagles. I never took any eagle pics that good. He lives for them.
David, just keep your sword sharp for now. Hone your argument skills.
Is it beginning to make sense? Our pictures have to mean something to us, before they can mean something to others.
