Digital BW, The Print

>>What, powerful concepts? If knocking off Jerry Uelsman's 1960's  
ideas in Photoshop, where it is elementary, is considered profound  
than I give up.

Profound doesn't necessarily mean unique, it can mean dealing with  
fundamental issues. I'll give John Paul that. I am not a big fan of  
Modernist archiecture, but studying it did teach me that the more you  
strip away from something, the more powerful the few remaining  
elements become. A J P Caponigro image of a horizon and a bit of cloud  
might not be something I find engaging, but it does set the stage very  
clearly for a statement about symmetry. And if all I take away from  
that is a personal note to not use that trick myself, then that just  
shows that I'm after very different things in my own work.
