Is that first one an "artwork" ?

Looks staged.

Yes, the first one is a work of art at the Art Museum.

Why would that be? It was there when the photo was taken. I am a photorealist.

Sorry

Let this be a lesson to everyone: Never attach a 5,000 pound camper to a 2,000 pound car, then back into a sinkhole.

The phrase "work of art" had meaning at some point, but apparently not anymore. Today it appears art can be created by anyone with a few extra pieces of junk and too much time on his hands. :confused:

Still, it's a nice shot, Doc. And I like photorealism too.

Yeah I know exactly what you are saying. Which is why I left it to interpretation at first.

And if you don't like it they say you don't understand art. :)

That's an interesting capture doc, thanks for sharing. I'm a sucker for street sculpture and art!
