Star Rush

I call it negative, too. The MPAs are open to submissions to all those millions who have talent (or don't) who have a smart phone camera and want to shoot something. There's unbound talent across...

A belated congratulations to Aylin Argun. Wonderfully images and a fine, fine accomplishment at the MPAs.

She entered the contest and she won. The other millions could likely do the same. Recognition might come their way then.

Well, let's see if I can boil it down: curate means to organize. It means to edit. Edit means to leave things out. We have to many images, and including everything when we create/post and when we...

@fantasticmv, let's chat. you can contact me via my website, www.starrush.net. I would love to learn more about Streamzoo. thanks for reading the article and leaving a supportive comment.

do you mean "low quality" as in technical output from a mobile phone or do you mean "low quality" as in subject, concept, composition, etc.? There's plenty of exceptional representational...

congratulations to the artists and photographers

Well said. Not all creative activities result in quality products. It's exciting for me to see how people are trying and experimenting, and having fun doing so.

I agree. A filter doesn't make a photographer at all. The best place to start, for me, is with taking the very best photograph possible. Filters are an add on rather than the image itsel, and I...

@OneGuy, funny you should mention my other cameras, as I've realized I have this preference for shooting one handed, and have a lot of small rangerfinders which probably instilled this in me.

My photog friends have been raving about the Galaxy, so I'm quite interested and intrigued myself. I feel a purchase coming on.

thanks for sharing your thoughts, @javidog. There is this divisiveness, which is a shame as I think each type or kind of photographer has much to l earn from the other, whatever the chosen medium,...

@jon404, thanks so much for the compliment and sharing the link. I find I'm even more attracted to using my film cameras when I spend time with my smartphone :)

@KodaChrome25, I'm glad you like the photo and thanks for stopping by to read the article, too.

@La5Rock, I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one sometimes surprised by what my photographs look like on new equipment.

Nick, I like very much to think about this sentence of yours: "At the end if the day, the core principles of what makes a photograph successful are in play whether it was taken 100 years ago or...

Hey, Alan. I'm glad you found some of the points resonating. Mirrors (reflection) and cameras kind of go together.

Thanks, @Laura, for stopping by. Maybe I'm out of synch? Slowness seems to play a roll in creative processes, just as stillness does. Are they harder to sustain in our speedy age?
