Excellent Work my friend.
Thanks. I finally got the chance to show my own Robusta-project to an interesting public. (Before I tried to show it in a Brussels art school, without success however 🙂 )
Wow Luc that’s excellent your work has been so appreciated by the public. I would have to say I’m not surprised.
Brussels Art School is for another day obviously?
Good to hear from you my friend
Bob
Thanks, Bob.
P.s. Brussels art school, Luca (School of Arts) is a rather obscure, medieavally-inspired guild, a network of indistinct ‘teachers’ and ‘artists’. I lived to see an instructive passage on that spot, a few years ago….
Sounds ominous Luc!
Don’t worry, Bob, I dropped my frustrations about my findings towards the Flemish art guild already a few years ago. I’m just confronted occasionally by their weak representatives….It strengthens me in my position as a believing photographer.
Good on you Luc. Remember; what’s for you won’t go by you!
Keep in touch my friend
taste of success in the air 🙂
I’ll be famous one day…despite myself:)
luc, i think being famous is nothing, but the fulfilling feelings in lifetime of having made a difference, that is great!
Let”s pretend that my real ambition is to move a small rock in a big river, without drowning myself. (But no idea if this makes a difference – I’ll ask my wife and children and students….)
what i said has an experienced importance only for myself 🙂
At 53 I’m not that experienced yet, but I’m working hard to get some more experience in my lifetime. Is ‘experience’ coming along with ‘frustration’? I had some of these:), especially the cheaper versions of frustration. But I daily ‘experience’ some astonishment as well.
for me personally, the finest thing in the world is to be sensing, to be curious in the present time! at the same time one is mirroring the surroundings and coming closer to oneself…the space for frustrations gets naturally lesser…
You wrote another definition of ‘astonishment’, the drive, the stimulus of really passionate people. I try to adopt this attitude daily. The only frustration is that I have to deal with (mostly anonymous) protagonists in the art world (especially in the past) whose lack of passion and sincerity guide and determine the future of young artists, who sometimes are willing to sell their souls….in exchange for the illusion of being ‘launched’ one day.
a strange thing…i always have been a bit kismet-immune (perhaps i was bathed in the dragoon blood, without knowing it, hehe), i just go on, trying to be true to myself (the journey is still continuing to find out more about this person, called sirpa). to get older and to see, the life is still as a gem, that is the only inheritance i can give the youngsters, if they have the time and the will to listen to me…and i know, even without me they’ll make they way.
