I am the scanner, retoucher, color person for a printing company. My college degree was in drawing and painting, some thirty years ago. Around six years ago I started painting seriously once again and about the same time became interested in photography. At work I scan, color correct and manipulate images in Photoshop. Away from work I make images through my camera with Photoshop and through painting. All this just to add a couple of random thoughts to what Ken has said. I guess, because of my background, for me all of the visual arts have blended together. The main difference,for me, between photography and painting is that there is more opportunity to search for significant form in each individual object in a painting than in a photograph. Other than this they are both concerned with invoking a mood, expressing feelings, being visually interesting etc. >> *Name aspects of painting (drawing, sculpting, etc.) that are in common >> with >> photography. >>Marilyn >To cut this short: The shared aspect is the "vision" we both have of >something that will, in some way, come to be an individual expression of >our relationship to our world and ourselves. >Thanks for provoking thought. >Ken Frazier
