For My Friend Mark, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

I didn't plan on posting any more pictures from MOMA but because of the discussion happening in the photography forum about taking pictures in the museums, or simply copying someone's art I decided to upload this one especially for my friend Mark Gong.

As already mentioned taken at the museum of modern art in NY, don't know who the artist is, he/she has created a simple painting with letter OOF, so I have decided to take it a step further and put my own spin on it. I don't know what OOF means for the artist, but for any photographer it has to mean Out Of Focus.

Mark, hope you know this is a friendly joke.

Hello,
A nouveau un N/B comme je les aime . Le flou est superbe et les contrastes aussi.

Bravo

LOL, I love the shot Peter. Abstract yet, very much your style. Good tones and composition. I still stand by my case on the photography in museums idea! ;)

Nice experimental shot, its the word 'OOF' that does it for me :)

Thanks, Peter for bringing OOF to life in this slice piece of tremulous brilliance.
Saluted, applauded...without reserve!

Your interpretation of the letters OOF combined with your composition is a good idea. I like the person pasing the picture. Without him/her the photo would be only half as interesting.

Simply brilliant !

even though it's , well wrong word it would be but I'll use it, out of focus I like the effect that you got here...
and also I like the position of camera, the movement here, and person passing by...
and it suits the note...
ciao

Hi Peter.
Very speacial and original.
Excellent technic and the blur give a very good effect.
The framing is nice and your b/w too.
Very good idea and realization

Bonjour Peter!

Really meant as a joke? Well... I like this picture a lot, it also reminded me of one of my favourites by Luko, Snub the Phones, and I can find the same mouvement in it. It's certainly creative and also highly attractive, even if it was meant differently?

RGatward (20108) 2005-10-10 6:56

Very amusing take on the work, I like the blurry person just leaving the frame top left.

AnimeshRay (9089) 2005-10-12 11:11

I had missed this one...a very nice effect...and I like the pun on OOF! Excellent thinking. The degree of OOF and the grain are really pleasant.

bnallama (3763) 2005-10-12 11:49

Hi Peter, this simply lovely and I love it.. Well observed and the grains are great!! Bala

Piotrze,

genialne. Out Of Focus:) Nawet bym tego nie skojarzyl! Ale to ci sie udalo. Podoba mi sie ten blur, jest taki jakis czysty, oryginalny i widac ze napewno nie przypadkowy. Ale te OOF i to skojarzenie robi z tego zdjecia cos pieknego, powiedzialbym ze wrecz wspanialego. Esktra! A do MOMA pasuja jak ulal. To muzeum to przedewszystkim mekka sztuki ktora stara sie zlamac wszystkie reguly, tak jak to zdjecie.
