art and nature 自然と芸実 (shinjuku gyoen, tokyo)

Posted by timothy (Tokyo, Japan) on 18 April 2008 in Art & Design.

as an amateur photographer, i do consider myself to be a bit of an artist. nevertheless, i try to photograph the world as it appears to me-- and as such, the only editing i tend to do via photoshop is to balance the tones and colors after i scan.
however, just as some photographers may use photoshop to selectively retouch a scene, i was reminded by this chap that painting was the original way of selectively editing things. i find it intriguing as to how and why painters select a particular subject to place onto their canvas; it's interesting, too, that some choose to capture the quieter elements of the scene rather than the bustle.
