Is It Art Or Just A Tennis Ball On The Beach?
I’ve either been a wanta’ be photographer, an amateur photographer, or a professional photographer all my life. From first breath. I mention this because I have also never considered photography an art. Some do and that’s fine. I don’t. That being said I have made some photographs that explain or show nothing of value and therefore I call it art.
So is the tennis ball on the beach nothing of value, therefore art, or is it part of a photoessay showing man-made objects where they don’t belong? You and I will have to wait to see what develops.
Now you have to ask yourself: “Was this post necessary?” Probably not.
‘Post Note’ Or ‘Eye To Eye.’
Update: Just thought of another title: “Eye To Eye”
The sun coming through the clouds is one eye and the knot on the post is the other eye with the number 2 standing in for to.
Whale Of A Wall
This post is our unoffical contribution to the Picture of the Day monthly theme photo. This month it’s Mural or Graffiti.
The current whale mural is the third version at this site. The first whale mural was painted onto the white wall below the current whale wall. That first version was the first whale mural that Wyland did.
A few years later Wyland (He uses his last name only.) reversed the painting with the whales pointing toward the sea. Then the owner of the lower wall, for whatever reason, painted over the second version.
Wyland, just prior to the lower wall being painted white, had purchased the building that the current wall mural is on. The owner of the lower wall wanted the same building and may have painted over the whale to get even with Wyland. Whatever.
Wyland, after remodeling the building, created the current mural. It’s made up of hundreds of porcelain tiles. Each tile is hand painted by Wyland.
The photo is made up of three images. We used Elements 6 Photomerge Panarama utility to create a single image. You can click the image to see a larger version.

We think they ran out of the number 3.
It’s The Photographer Not The Camera
Some photographers believe they need the most expensive cameras in order to do good work. This photographer demonstrates that this isn’t the case. He’s using a Canon G9 PowerShot to take time-lapsed photos of a parade in Laguna Beach. He hopes to make a short and quick film showing the entire parade going by in a flash.
