AN ESSAY ON THE COMPLEXITIES OF PHOTO IMAGES BY R.L. HUFFSTUTTER

THIS IS ONE TO STUDY AS ONE MIGHT STUDY A CANVAS IN A GALLERY. I CAN ENVISION STUDENTS SEATED ON BENCHES WITH THEIR SKETCH BOOKS AS THEY DO IN MAJOR MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD. THEY APPEAR TO BE CONSIDERING THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE WORK AS THEY SKETCH THE ORIGINAL.

LET ME CAST MYSELF IN THE ROLE OF AN ART MAJOR SEATED ON AN OAK BENCH GAZING AT THE WORK BY SUPERDE1LUXE: How important is the lamp in relation to the rocks? Should the rocks be termed boulders? How far away are the islands? Why are the the boulders so close to the lamp? Is there a season when the lamp must be turned off at night to prevent hatching turtles from being confused about direction to the water?

Although at first glance, this photograph might look simple and elementary, but one can easily understand the complexities of studying images if one is interested in the varied images of art. As one who enjoys the story behind the work or image, this photograph offers much material to digress, study and note. It is an image that would be difficult to reproduce. Congratulations to the photographer and artist for a truly unique art photo.
