Minimalism?

BridgeCity · March 1, 2005

Looks to me more like "confusion"ism

Good shot, I just dont understand all the gadgets and gizmos

Yeah, I guess we'd have to be firemen to understand their use.

As I stare at this picture, it makes me want to just start pulling on things to see what happens

Really this is a good shot that makes the viewer wonder what is going on

Ironic

Angelo, I don't know that that is minimal, but it is interesting. And bridgecity wants to play with it all. That is interesting, too.

I shot two birds today, they blurred, not intentionally, but beautifully for minimalism.

I am purposely not going downtown to work on it until next week. It was so cold and windy today. I mean strong gusts. Where I was when those girl came by, it is the road to nowhere. It used to be train tracks to Sullivan's Island, they were demolished a long time ago. People would come out there, though, so last year it kind of became a park. I stayed for the sunset, not a good one, no clouds, but nice (as long as I was in my car out of the wind)

Those little girls in the golf cart type thing, and their family, had not come back yet when I left. I have photos for other places to post, am soooo tired.
I gave the girls a bit more pop. The best I can do. I would hope it is not too snapshot ish.

Maximalism

I would not want to stand in front of this when someone plays with the switches unless hoses were attached. I like the colors. Was that what attracted you?

I think the simplicity of the panel, the colors and how they shone in the sunlight all caught my eye.

In architecture part of "minimalist" means devoid of extraneous ornamentation.

I believe this panel fits that description, hence the title. But, back to basics... it caught my eye, so I snapped it!

I think it's a cool shot (but then again, I always like this type of capture). My only comment is that I really wish those three dials on the top right weren't chopped a little.

Thanks Doc... glad you like it. Funny about the dials; we all have such different ideas about composition. Right or wrong I purposely framed this so there was something "trimmed" on all 4 sides thinking that gave the impression of "more".

I like how the dials are placed, too. And the colors, the red, love the placement.

I am so tired of this stuff, I can't think of the words, but I like the panel, and I wouldn't touch it at all.

Very true. I studied it for a while and did notice that all the sides had parts missing, but the dials were the only ones that I found unpleasing. Something about a circle needing to be closed for me.

ahhh...hmmm....errrr...
Initial impression-

Ahh...ok...it's a fire truck right? Too busy to be 'minimalism' (unless that was an intentional mis-titling which is cool). Something about it is just so....ahhh...technical? Looks like a shot out of a fire truck manual?

The cropped dials in the upper right would look better if they weren't chopped off as Dr. IT said (I guess I'm AR as well?).

For something like this to get my attention, it would have to be REALLY cropped down-like almost macro cropped. Chop it down so tight that it leaves your scratching your head trying to fiure out what the heck it is.

Is it a race car dash board? Is it a boat? Is it a piece of medical equipment? A bird? A plane? What IS IT!!!!!

ahhh....It's a control panel of a fire truck-COOL!

Interesting idea. You've given me a new outlook. Thanks.

yes, very much so. just the other day, i sold a battery grip to someone on FM - when he recieved it, he didn't believe that I'd actually used it. So it's good sometimes.

Trust me, I understand! I've been called AR so often I should adopt the initials!
