Holga hypocrisy?

First, this from Holga: I'm afraid to say that until this very moment they have been closed. The unassuming Holga is here to save you from a future of digital pixels and images shared on small screens on cameras or phones. I'm surprised someone hasn't extended CHDK to implement the Lomo effect as a built in on Canon cameras... BugBear |

That's completely against the Lomo philosophy. Which is to be absurd, 'cos that's "art". And they can charge big bucks for it. BugBear |

But do you really want to stare at something like that on your wall for months? Perhaps I should have been explicit (but it spoils the wit). I don't think it's a good idea. I'm just surprised someone hasn't done it. BugBear |

I'm just surprised someone hasn't done it. I once made a tongue-in-cheek comment to a modern artist with a block, who has regular gallery space, that he dip a sweaty tee shirt on his palette and put an elegant frame around it. The tee shirt as sold for $5,000. This leads us to the question of what is art. Does an accident prevent a great image from becoming art, or must the artist have planned it from the beginning. BTW the artist bought me a great steak dinner for the idea. -- Peter |
