Another street shot from the Eagle Rock photo walk. I got interested in what it means when you photograph a photograph. This billboard of Beyonce, although commercial is some elses art, so what does it mean when I photograph it? I like my photo but I don’t fool myself into thinking that its something that its not. However since I’m not trying to make a reproduction (which would make me a technician) but instead I’m making my own art. I’m sure that this is covered in Theory of Photography 101 at every Jr. College in America but since I’m self taught it gives me pause for thought. If you’ve read this much you are are much to kind. The outward thinking about this will now stop.
