It's been a while since our last We Want Your Art. What better time to reintroduce our gallery of our creative reader's creations than after that inspiring interview with Matthias Herrmann? (See below, silly.)
This here photo comes to us from San Francisco-based photographer Matt Baume. When asked to describe his work, Mr. Baume told us:
I like photos that elicit feelings of well-worn comfort; so my best pictures have a sense of used-uppyness, where things look a bit weatherbeaten. One of my obsessions is the peculiar, eccentric thing that makes you feel content - it's always something different and totally unpredictable for each of us, and for some folks it's a secret, but we all have one. My favorite pictures are of boys doing weird things that make them happy.He also tells us that he's got a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the unlikely and that through his photographs, he aims to "capitalize on viewers' sense of the impossible, reminding them of the appeal of their own imaginations." And isn't that what true art's all about? Engagement?
