I'm not really an artist. That's a phrase I use a lot but I should stop because oh man, so many different ways to be an artist. Instead: I'm not trained, I don't generally even try to draw realistically. I generally go for kind of stark black and white designs. I also take a lot of photos.

Anyway, to start with here's a kind of interpretation of my home town, done as an ink silhouette:

An impression I guess? Rocks and houses and factories.

I will be back with photos! Maybe after I've cooked dinner. Smile

Totally uploaded the wrong save version though. *eyes the uncleaned chunk of background* HMPH! Will have to go switch it out for the right one. XD

ETA: done.

A little selection of my photos. I like texture and detail. And eccentric composition.

You can still call yourself an artist even if you are untrained. Call yourself an "amateur" if you will, but anyone can be considered an artist no matter what they do. As long as its a form of a expression: visually, through sound, or through writing. There are even other ways too, but thats the basics.

And interesting photos! I really like the one with the hand up at the concert. Really nice. Smile

I agree with Brit-chan, you are definitely an artist, even if you aren't trained! I like your photographs. I like how you photograph things that might be seen as everyday but they come out so beautifully!

I really like your photographs, Toft. I love the way you capture small, unnecessarily important aspects of objects and call a quiet attention to them. Smile

All your photos are very very well proportioned! I definitely prefer the flower shots though, I feel like the focus and lighting on those shots is more "professional" than the other compositions.

That very first photograph blows my mind, it's so beautiful! I really like the way you compose images, too. They're very different. And I could wallow in all the textures for days... fabulous! I think my favorites are the one of the corner of a window and the last one of the train station.

This is gorgeous. What an amazing sight. I wish I took this (I'm a sucker for lighting).

I like the selective focus here--just enough to recognize the shape of one so you know what the others are.

Great job catching the colors within the ice.

I don't particularly like this one but I can appreciate it. It's a formidable manipulation of scale. It recalls trees sprouting out of a forest floor but, in actuality, it's tiny.

Great use of linear perspective.

Wow those pictures are great! I especially like the shadow of the girl, the metro perspective and the hanging bags, but they are all good and interesting to look at! Also, the subjects are cool, even the phone for its contrasting color with the wall behind. Good job!
