Petapixel Declares: "The Decisive Moment is Dead"...

[Al Patterson]

2 cats, one dead and one alive.. at any given time... altered by looking into the box.

Yeah, sounds stupid. No wonder Schroedinger was ragging on the Copenhagen school...

But, it's one cat, half dead and half alive, decided by opening the box. Quantum physics makes my brain hurt. Need More Beer....

 

[Sparrow]

I decided the cat was either dead or alive but one simply doesn't know which ...

... then I think if the cat, the box and Schroedinger were in a larger box with Nietzsche outside, who would know if he had a sly look anyway ...

Gabriel, I posted this yesterday.

Blast you, RFF so-called Search function! :bang:

Only the dead are dead. But if you walk down any major street in any major city, you'll notice that sometimes they forget to lie down.

Poor dead souls.

Hi Gabriel;
PetaPixel is an aggregate photo site. Michael Zhang and friends collect photography articles of interest and Zhang/editor, posts them to the site. I don’t think they are indorsing any particular opinion, and when they do, they are clear about it. The byline on the article is: Clayton Cubitt · May 22, 2013, so it’s a reprint – with permission.
So, I guess I’m taking your Header: “Petapixel Declares: "The Decisive Moment is Dead"...” to task. It’s no different than saying that because the NY Times publishes an article about killing pets, that they indorse the practice.
Best. pkr

I'd take the tasking to task further by pointing out that declaring and endorsing are two very different things. Like opinion and reporting, although reporting neither declares or endorses, it simply (if done correctly), reports. So if the NY Times published an article with the headline "Killing pets is dead. Long live putting pets to sleep." I wouldn't think they're endorsing the opinion, but declaring so since, well, things don't automagically appear, they need to be approved by at least one of their editors. Unless they're hacked, which then becomes a different discussion.

Let's not shoot the messenger's shooter Although that is "poetic" justice.

Edit: I should add (and decidedly admit) that you're correct on my phrasing. I should have at the very least phrased it as "Petapixel article declares: ..." or "Article published on Petapixel declares: ..." I without the powers to edit the OP title, I am without powers to edit the OP title, meregrets.

Gabriel,

Thank you for providing the 'Meh' option.

You're welcome. Most polls should have "Meh" as an option. It's more elegant than "Yawn" or other, alternatively colourful equivalents.

Ah! Solid gold!

True enough but remember that the original question was: "what do you get when you multiply six by nine"!

..... 6x7 I think you'll find ... 42 is one of the few absolutes

 

[VitoCipriani]

I voted 'no'. It's never been 'alive'; how can it be 'dead'? As a concept, it's still important, although it may not be as trendy as the concept of pronouncing things to be 'dead'.

I guess you could say that eloquence and the art of rhetoric are dead.

I pretty much agree with this.

This sort of rhetoric of "such and such is dead" is just another facet of western contemporary consumer's discourse. This is dead so buy that one....

People who write articles for the internet are under lots of pressure to make
shytt up. A grabber title and a few punchy opening sentences and their job is done.

Wise words, which I agree with one hundred per cent.

Bela Lugosi is dead.

The bats have left the belltower....

Ah, the innocence of youth.

You might want to listen to the end of the last episode of series one again?

:angel:

 

[Sparrow]

Ah ... you could well be correct sir, I shall consult the guide

 

[henri klein]

Ah Petapixel. Thought they were already dead?

 

[swoop]

Making broad drastic unquantifiable statements are a great way to draw traffic to your website.

 

[Aristophanes]

I voted yes because I couldn't make up my mind.

 

[Clint Troy]

Oh noooo!
I guess there's no need to tape the red dot anymore?

What nonsense!

What nonsense!

Gabriel,

Thank you for providing the 'Meh' option.

+1 because: who cares if millions of Deceisive Moments are not recorded? I see enough crap already, without using 360° constant recording (and publishing!).
I don't care about it.

 

[Monochrom]

Since we live in postmoderns days it doesn´t mater if it´s dead or not, you may use it as u like...so it´s a part of the salad...

[DNG]

there will always be a decisive moment, there won't always be a photographer to record it.

Awesome .
