Artist or Historian?
#1

How do you see yourself - a historian, recording people, events and details for future memories; or an artist - creating images for pleasurable viewing?

I'm a lover not a fighter!

Your cat looks stoned guerito.

Oh and hmm I'd more a historian than an artist. I do a lot of things in a journalistic fashion, it would be nice if I had more passion (and time!).

i would say that i'm more a historian... although like a writer of history books - you would want to write in a fashion that was appealing to read...

A historian - but only because my concept of history is wildly distorted, heavily retouched and not at all based in reality.

I feel like an artist. That's why I like distortion so much. Lol.

Incidentally, it's not "pleasurable viewing." It's images that reverberate and stimulate that I aspire to. Very few images really make it of course.
