<p>As a visual music artist making animations as well as printable/frameable stills, I am beginning to distinguish between camera-, scanner-, and video-based photography.

<p>As a visual music artist making animations as well as printable/frameable stills, I am beginning to distinguish between camera-, scanner-, and video-based photography. This third genre potential comprises the former two since you can begin an animation with a camera- and/or scanner-based image. My focus is on the third category. I would like to show that there is aesthetic photography potential in animation stills.</p> <p>While I welcome the "liberation of the image from the frame" in visual music, I think that showing quality stills is a worthwhile endeavor, especially if the images can be shown together with the animations from which they stem.</p> <p>As a member of one of the oldest visual art colonies in the USA, called Rocky Neck Art colony, in Gloucester, MA, USA, I am curating a show of "animation stills" of high photographic quality in the beginning of 2014. Examples of what I am looking for are seen at <a href="http://www.ottolaske.com">www.ottolaske.com</a>. However, my own images are to be taken as examples, not models for what to submit.</p> <p>Once you let me know that you are interested in sending me jpgs (and later prints, to be framed locally), I will keep you in the loop for this adventure.</p> <p> </p> <p>Please write to <a href="mailto:otto@interdevelopmentals.org">otto@interdevelopmentals.org</a> as well as cdrem@aol.com.</p> <p> </p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p> </p> <p>Otto</p>
