It's a silly question, Isaac.

If we'd actually read those photoworks articles...

Quote
The question is, of course, too broad and too general, to be really meaningful. Photography is too capacious a category and ‘good’ is too porous an adjective.

So, in that ‘good’ implies something affective and effective, and that photography, when ‘good’, really means, for me, an artful, deliberate and clever kind of photography, the best way to answer this question lies in thinking about why a particular example of photography is ‘good’ beyond being an epitome of its genre.

... but it was quite pleasantly reassuring to discover people I respected shared my own view on photography and its art...

Shock! Horror! Man agrees with confirmation of his own opinion and ignores different opinions!

Isaac I THINK he was trying to point out it was possible for you to try and start a topic that was a little more original and a little less problematic with respect to stirring up controversy but I guess that wasn't your intention? BTW the previous four posts were made by yourself. I suspect you wanted to keep the topic live. ;)

It's just as possible for you to try and start that topic.

the previous four posts were made by yourself.

Each a belated reply to a comment someone else made days before. Expect a reply to Bernard's comment.

If you want to troll, might as well get a boat.

I see you still have nothing to say about the photoworks articles you didn't read because you weren't interested.

You cannot possibly be serious - right? If you don't understand what's going on then it is best to be silent.
