my apologies

[back alley]

i am truly sorry -

i decided to move the 'photography as art' thread from the canon section to the general discussion section.
i don't move many threads but that one seemed out of place to me.

however, instead of merely moving it, i, after a few not too swift clicks of the mouse, deleted the whole damn thing by accident.

apologies from a deeply embarrased moderator.

Is there any way for the deleted thread to be retrieved?

 

[back alley]

if there is i do not possess that info.

[Peter]

Not your fault Joe. S*** happens all the time.

Well I believe it was a Russian anarchist philosofer named Bakunin who said that destruction was the only true form of art.

Yeah, but then he probably used a Fed.

Joe if the forum database is backed up every day, you should be able to restore from the last backup.

i'll need to check with jorge on that.

he has the 'ultimate' power and access - as moderator my 'authority' is limited.

Here is the missing material (I have it memorized in my little old head):

"My definition of art is blah, blah, blah ... photography blah, blah, blah ... maybe, maybe not, blah, blah, blah ... postmodernist critics blah, blah, blah ... pretentious and verbose blah, blah, blah ... museums blah, blah, blah ... photo of my kid in a museum blah, blah, blah ... art is hard to define blah, blah, blah ... I just take pictures blah, blah, blah."

well darn. I got all the way up on my high horse talking about art, art history and the lessons we all need to learn and boom - gone - just like that.

One thing I will say about art is this: the good stuff stays good for a long, long time.

"One thing I will say about art is this: the good stuff stays good for a long, long time."-

And sometimes it just gets knocked off the fridge and smashed ta' pieces.

 

[hoppinghippos]

well it surely must mean something when the one of the words that rhymes with art is... fart!!!

 

[Pherdinand]

"And sometimes it just gets knocked off the fridge and smashed ta' pieces." nwcanonman, you didn't smash your Canon, did you?

 

[KirkT]

That's crap! I want my money back!

 

[Sonnar Brian]

I'll bet you were aiming at my Poetry and got the Art Thread by mistake. Better do some Target Practice aiming that Mouse!
