In my language, “thief” is said “magnifyer”. Amazing, isn’t it ?

Excuse-me but what do these “other ones” do ? Apart from recycling themseves things that already exist as long as everything new has been originally created ? art now is recycling, reporting, transforming, finding new points of views. That’s exactly what you do, as every artist does.

i understand your point, it completely makes sense to me, but even if nothing’s ever new now in art, i still can’t help but feel that i “use” the ones i watch on stage, like bands or actors ; they perform, they give something to a public, me i just show up, i stand in the darkness and i take. i’m not complaining, it’s what i know how to do, it’s what i do best, but i’m feeling that it’s unfair. to do the artists justice, the only thing i can do is to place my expectations and ambitions for my pictures at the highest level i can, which is also why i’m rarely absolutely happy about a picture.

oui, je me l’approprie, je vole ;) mais c’est vrai que mon souhait apr?s ?a, c’est de leur rendre en images fixes ce que je leur ai vol
