That's so true. I laugh to think that I have sold more paintings than Van Gogh and Rembrandt combined, yet as a painter, I would have been worthy to clean their brushes.

2018-08-17 20:30:17 +0000 UTCHi William, that's a really interesting part of photographic history. The amazing thing is that those are more than just fashion, they are philosophies. The same happened in painting, graffiti and other art forms. For example, for some time in graffiti it was very uncool to leave even the smallest drip of color on the ground. So the sprayers had helpers that would catch or remove every drip that went astray. It was kind of a sign of there mastery to be as clean as possible. Today you find Groups like "One Up" who use fire extinguishers filled with color to spay as big as possible, not caring about how messy the result is. Someone dirt is another ones gold ;)

2018-08-14 10:58:03 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this, and some of the effects are stunning. I had to laugh, however, at the way times have changed. I'm old, and in my early days as a photographer, even the faintest hint of lens flare was enough to consign a photograph to the trash can. By the - my early days were in the 60's, when I worked as a newspaper reporter and photographer, back when dodging and burning were manual darkroom skills.
