True! I sent this photo to a friend and she said I had photographed an endangered species. Do you think she’s right? Do you think artists and art are endangered?
No, not in the least. I see people with cameras, people sketching and painting, easels propped up all over the place here in Sussex. Is a photographer an artist? Is graffiti art- is Banksy an artist? Is an artisan an artist? In my mind, yes. And does AI digital art qualify as art. I reckon that’s in the eye of the beholder. I’d love to know your answer to your question: Do you think artists and art are endangered?
I don’t think I do believe them endangered as I was very surprised by the comment. Also, I know too many. And, as you say, there are so many forms of art to take into account. But it is true that I don’t see that many easels about. This was a lovely scene to cone across.
š. I have a small camera which I do enjoy using but it doesn’t talk to my computer as easily and I ruined a similar camera by getting sand in the lens mechanism and, as my eyes get worse, I find the smaller screen harder to work with.
That’s a fantastic picture. An artist portraing an artist. I don’t think it’s an endagered species, we all have a need to express ourselves as soon as we’ve climbed those first steps on the Maslov pyramid.

I like that her hat and jacket are the same colour. Iām delighted when my socks match.

It is a lovely scene. Do you walk around with a camera or a phone with a camera?

Same here. I have a nice camera, but my phone is producing good images.

I find looking through a view finder too challenging for my sight. A big screen on my phone works well for me.

Beautiful shot. Reminds me of the little hidden inlets in Montauk NY.

So true, Ulle. The essentials to life must be addressed before freedom to express is possible.
