pretentiousartist.com is ironic. i spent an age moving all my work there, i look upon this project like U.E and hope it is a self-discovery for people. i was a little nervous at posting my three images because i take the piss out of art so much i feared people would not get the joke and my attitude towards art and phtography.
However this said no real negative comments here is something i'm working on inspired by here pretentiousartist.com/june aka the foundation for human happiness do not ask where i get this madness from, i have been asked so many times to give an explanation to my work, and words simply do f-ing fail me. all i can add is that there an observation of the urban paranoia and bucolic sheffield.

most artists find it hard to express in "words" what they only find able to do so in their own normal circumstance through "imagery"*...that being said however it is possible to "learn" how to epress in words what you find in your photographs so rewarding for yourself that you find it necessary to share those images...in part you are doing that just right NOW!
...c&p what you try to say when try to say it, as you have done here, and occasionally review what you have said of yourself and your work; you may, in time, find yourself very able to verbalise what you find now hard to express outwardly of your work.Also try to take notes of things you think of at the time of the shot...eg even three "random" words or so, in a note book, that come to describe those feelings, or jot some words down in a text file with the pickees when you download them.*it is equally learnable to consider the composition of your shots to also be come more adept to express the true meaning of what you are trying to impart to your viewer...it's a very worthwhile exercise to consider is a quick recomposition of the shot and rattle off a few extra" throw-away" exposures to find another view you may prefer and draw upon as example of compositional technique for another shot. In a way this is how "style" is developed.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand all that being said I'm finding it particularly hard to do what I preach atm!
...but IM'kinlonglongE it's all just a matter of regime and routine>>> the results eventually speak for themselves!
Alright, yes agreed. it could look like spam but no, this is how i view myself and i gave a lot of thought and a little research into the subject matter. the desire is not to win but to have fun, the desire is not to promote my ego no real names are used and there is very little words likewise and as said it is an interpretation of the subject. Of course one is taking the piss, smashing all the rules. who said art or photgraphy was about structure?.
I come to this by default and have got an addiction to the extent i might be moving from Sheffield to hang about with this guy http://tash.gn.apc.org/ and hopefully learn more about this craft to date this guy http://stevewithington.co.uk/ has helped me very much not only teaching me about the craft of photography but html and css. we both spent an age on my project along with another friend moving all my work from urls to just one.
Is not having such a comp about giving the opportunity for people to promote their work and as is called spam what theyre doing?
This said this not a debate about my work but a comp so i'll sit back relax, now i have said my shit. Sorry to others if my taking the piss has derailed anything, upset anyone, it was not the intent,
it was just how i view the subject and myself.

Thank you the third pic was taken as I got caught by security lol. There are always buildings like this you just have to search for them.tom_craggs said:

This would be a cool idea but very impractical as the security at the site consists of 4 security guards and a number of large dogs. thank you for the comments

The dogs we dope to sleep 4 security guards well thats an hassel had a look at your other stuff and you are right you have to search to find them i use the local rag talking to people and i often write a letter and e mail asking to gain entry to places.
If not there are means as one is sure you will know about i have made my mind up allready where one of my votes is going but lets see if there are others that will beat my first choice havent made up my mind regards the others just yet but there is some stunning work.

I have never gained entry to a location without having to tresspass. I find that waiting for permission takes too long or never happens and the buildings are gone
