What it's at. Where it is. Where
it's going. Where it's come from.
These are the Questions rhetorical and specific
about Photography and the J.S. Scene.
The J. S. Scene is Photography.
Photography is the J. S. Scene
The Scene is set by the 54 Years
of unparalleled experience of every possible aspect of Photography
of John P.B. Shelley
Of the experience of the Scene, of the Pictures, Books, Magazines,
News, Comment, Criticisms, Galleries, Art and Features which
are part of the whole scene. Of Serving, Advising, Consulting,
Publishing, Owning and managing Galleries, Photographic shops
and studios. The unmatched experience of travelling
and photographing in over 100 countries, in the Jungles, the
Deserts, the great Cities and the Great Plains throughout the
World. Photographing Anything, Anywhere, Anytime. This is the
photographic scene that is the J.S. Scene.
So. What's it at?
What's it at is learning changing moving. Being alive in photography
is to move, to learn, to change but not just move with the
Trend not just being Trendy. You have to move ahead with knowledge,
with integrity, to be accountable. Many of those who think
they have reached the height of today's trendiness have in
fact in reality reached the Zenith of their inadequacy. Many
of today's Top Trendies in photography are no more than the
Elite of yesterday's Inadequate
Where it is?
Is leaving where it is and going forward, exploring new ideas,
new ground, and new concepts.
Where it's going?
Forward in to the fresh and vibrant new territory.
J.S. is as old as the last century.
And as young as the New. This is where the J.S.Scene is going.
Where it's come from
Is a bedrock of Experience, of Knowledge, of Principal, of
Objectivity, of being Accountable, of being Responsible, of
Competiveness, of Winning, of being Elite, of being Superior,
of being Judgemental, of being Discriminatory and of immersing
oneself in the Visual literature of Photography.
And the Visual Literature of photography is exemplified in the J.S. 100 Photographic
Books of the 20th Century
