Re: Sustenance - on line.

An excellent collection of images.
Although I did do a shoot I didn't contribute this time around. I
have to admit that it was largely because the theme became so open
that it seemed essentially intangible. To stretch the point, you
could say that it didn't 'sustain' my interest. When a word can be
interpreted in so many disparate ways it can lose its strength, and
things based on it can lose some or even all sense of being part of
the same event.
Conversely, having a strong yet not too proscriptive word can lead to
a theme that is gently tangible throughout the range of entries, no
matter how diverse their subjects or treatment.
Of course, this is just me. People have clearly enjoyed it and have
come up with some stunning work. My hat is off to you all!
(This Spring I'll be teaching a bunch of BA Digital Media Production
students about the joys and challenges of panorama photography for
the term. Perhaps, to make up for this bit of gentle griping, I can
get them to join the WWP and contribute to that event. It would be
rather interesting to see their theme interpretations - and very good
for them to get feedback from such an experienced crowd! :-)
