Let's say you want to enjoy your photography skills and show off the
detail you get from your MF images by putting the photo onto canvas
and hanging it from the wall like you had bought an original painting.
Would you get bored with it in a short time and prefer to give space
to a lesser photo taken by someone else? I am wondering if this has
happened to any of the MF photographers here.

I don't have too many of my own photographs hanging in my house and the
ones I do have mostly 8X10's. I think I have maybe 4 and all are printed
as photographs. I've seen those "trying to look like a painting" things
and IMHO those are right there with a velvet elvis painting. While I've
seen some really cool "digital enhanced images" I liked, the 'looks like
a painting' thing isn't one of them.

One of the coolest things I have seen lately is the work by Robert
Weingarten "The portrait unbound". His goal is to produce a portrait of
someone but without them being in the image.

Interesting/dynamic compositions, but not "photography" per se.

More like "transparency collage".



Yes and in person they really PULL you into the image in 3 dimensions.
Not only do your eyes travel across the image, the seem to focus in and
out through the transparency? It's hard to describe but it's VERY cool
:-) I agree this has gotten away from "photography" and is computer art?
Not sure how you would define this.
