Sandra McCabe's Micro/Nature photography

Sandra McCabe's Micro photography a journey between abstraction, fine art and nature photography.

I mentioned in last post about the abstract effect of natural forms in emotional side of human brain....
here is a great example of micro photography that is associated with nature photography but can be categorized as emotional fine art...

"Macro photography. A journey into amazement"

Every little thing has it's own beauty or strangeness and this is what draws me to macro. Nearly all my photos are taken using hand held. A tripod annoys me no end sometimes I use basic editing, such a contrast or a bit of cropping. If I change the image too much, then it is not my photo. I'm still learning and that upward curve is steep but such enjoyment, awe and fun comes from that learning. (Sandra McCabe)

Concept of nature and Fine art nature photography

Nature Photography is mostly associated with wildlife and micro shot...
The concept of nature and how it inspires us is really cool matter to consider.
conceptual arts has allways been effected deeply from nature some times is has been scary and sometimes the origin and way of redemption...

by George Gradinaru

But I am talking about the form of nature as a fine art object and not making some rationalistic concepts out of it... The main form can be very emotional... But its not working in rational side of human brain and mostly people don't get effected directly...
Abstract effect is the main key in Fine art nature photography somehow... as the origin of our symbolism...

here is some cool examples for this:

Joseph Beuys the German experimental artist

Joseph Beuys

Joseph Beuys was a German multi- and mixed-media artist best known for incorporating ideas of humanism, social philosophy and politics into his art. Beuys practiced everything from installation and performance art to traditional painting and "social sculpture." He was continually motivated by the belief of universal human creativity.

 

One of Joseph Beuys's most theatrical installations, Blitzschlag mit Lichtschein auf Hirsch (Lightning with Stag in Its Glare) articulates the German artist's obsession with primal and elemental forces: the earth, animals, excrement, and death.

Beuys's work certainly served, in its initial contact with an audience, as a diversion. But to regard his work simply as an entertainment to nullify the realities in which it was created, is to miss the point of its revolutionary nature. For Beuys, a moment of rapture in engagement with an art article, or art as a respite from the daily grind, is a sentimental act that has no purpose in today's world.

He calls for nothing less than a complete overhaul of that system in which art is a product of a consumer society who needs paintings to decorate walls, to use as barter, or to receive momentary uplifting. "Art is," he said, "a genuinely human medium for revolutionary change in the sense of completing the transformation from a sick world to a healthy one." (Beuys quoted in Quartetto, exhibition catalog, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 1984, Milano, p. 106)

"... just as you have come to me, because of what I've made, and we can talk about it ..."Beuys

David Lynch's Surrealism

David Lynch's Surrealism: Madness in Human Mind

Where to begin?

Maybe...

Profession:Director
Nationality:American
Born: in January 20 1946 in Missoula, Montana

Just kidding!!!

I usually do not like to talk about people and matters rationally so I can just say David Lynch is experimentation with visual texture and techniques and he does it in the best way ever done and I write some quotes.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance.

If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.

You're right on the money with that. We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for.

Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.

Sleeping people

Sleeping people 

Sleeping people, like passengers in one's life, asleep through awakedness, existing unawakened, our lives lost between our fingers as we think death does not apply to us.
Reveries of the sleep walker, the insomniac and the dreamer...
