Speaking of Art?

| First Question: I suspect any native of Alabama from my generation will be able to tell what this is at a glance. Hint: It is an almost non-existent thing in today’s modern world. Can you spot it right away? What is it?
Second: Can a simple photo of this man-made structure in nature be considered art? If so, what kind of art? Then, on a personal note, one of the things I love about the new Nikon D50 is the speed at which anyone with some basic photography training and talent can snap great shots on the fly. I took this Sunday afternoon in a matter of seconds, not really thinking about it, as I explored Blount County with Babs looking for birds, butterflies and interesting feature shots. In the summer 2005 issue of Nikon World magazine, there is a feature about this very fact under the department The Edge, headlined Home and Away: Why I Keep the D50 Clost at Hand.” Check it out and let us know what you think of our, uhmmm, “art?” |

Your composition captures myriad emotions in its homage to decomposition, and the earthy way in which it conveys a scent of mystery…
Sorry. Couldn’t continue my own bullshit!
Chip Cooper’s published books of this kind of art. Barns and old derelict houses and such. I think you need to make it B&W, maybe real grainy, for that music video look, though, for it to really sell the coffee table books.
