By Barry Zander, Edited by Monique Zander, the Never-Bored RVers
If the title of this blog were really what it’s about, most people wouldn’t bother opening it, but I’ll try to make it worth your time to read on.
Arriving at The Getty in L.A.
A few days ago we visited the J.P. Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In addition to being housed in a true work of modern art, and in addition to having free admission, this is a place to see if you’re in the area. But that only touches on “the where,” not “the what” that this is about.
“The What” is actually two-fold. It’s about expanding any museum experience, and it’s about my wondering, “Why is the photographic art on the walls ‘art’ and my photography just photography? Let’s take them one at a time.
Whenever Monique and I visit a museum of any kind, whether it’s high art, classic cars or American natives history, I try to engage the docents or guards in conversation, asking, “What shouldn’t I miss in this room or in the museum?” When I first started doing this, Monique was skeptical … until she heard the kinds of answers it elicited.
“If you look closely, you’ll see the artist’s lover in the purple swirl.” Or “It was
Smith’s earliest work, so there are inconsistencies that show how her artistry developed,” or “It’s here because the curator wants it here. Makes no sense to me.” I laughed when I heard something close to that at the Getty.
How DID Claude Monet See the Whole Scene and Paint a Few Inches from the Canvas?
What was startling for me at first was when I asked a 25ish bearded guard which was his favorite work in the room he monitored, expecting him to tell me he had no idea. Instead, he walked over to a very confusing piece, where he explained what he felt was the meaning of the subject depicted. Wow!
Are you still with me? I want to digress for a moment and expand that to souvenir shops. “Hi,” I say, as Monique looks for a place to hide. “I’m a tourist.”
“Nooooo,” is the usual reply. That leads to the clerk/often the owner asking the typical questions that don’t need answers about where we’re from, etc. And now for the ‘payoff.” I ask something like, “Where shouldn’t we eat around here? That’s when the conversation opens up. We learn the best place to eat, what we shouldn’t miss while visiting, and even a bit of hidden history, good and evil. What was ‘just another town’ becomes a memorable stop in our travels.
Example: Ask the forest rangers in El Rio, Texas, where not to eat.
Surfer Dude at Huntington Beach, California
WHY ISN’T MY PHOTOGRPHY ART?
Well, it is. Why isn’t it hanging in galleries and museums? Because I’ve never taken the time to have it prepared for canvas and framing. Whether it qualifies as art or not is not the issue. It’s the intention.
You take pictures during your travels:
To remember the great places you’ve been
Avalanche Lake at Glacier National Park - Elements of Art
To send to the kids
To post on your Facebook page
Because it’s free after buying the camera and memory card
To print and sell as a fund-raiser for your church bazaar.
It’s pretty much like crocheting or woodworking, I guess. Are the crocheted booties for your granddaughter or to sell at a flea market? Is it a pastime while you’re watching reruns of Oprah? Or something else?
Our granddaughter receives an exquisite carving every year from a friend of the family. Each piece would sell for $75 to $250 in a gallery, but he gives it to her for free. It’s love and it’s because he treasures his works so much he doesn’t want to consider their commercial value.
My Stairway Art, Taken in Savannah
I was looking at a photograph of a stairway at the Getty. I’ve got pictures just as good, but his is art and mine is, well, still in my collection of snapshots.
Maybe I should take the high road and say, “I don’t want to lower myself by having my work valued.” Ain’t gonna happen. It’s just not a priority to turn what my eye sees into museum or gallery art.
I always put the emphasis on taking photos for the memories – it’s part of our richness in life. And, of course, to make these blogs more interesting.
It’s another reason we’re the “Never-Bored RVers,” We’ll see you on down the road.

I wanted to send you that bit of remark to say thanks again for those pleasant advice you’ve shown at this time. This has been so incredibly open-handed of you giving without restraint all that many of us might have sold as an e-book to make some dough for their own end, most notably seeing that you could possibly have done it if you ever decided. Those creative ideas additionally acted to become good way to fully grasp that the rest have a similar eagerness the same as my own to grasp a lot more regarding this problem. I am certain there are a lot more fun situations up front for people who read carefully your site.

Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

I do the same thing wherever I go. I was in St. Petersburg, FL this past weekend and I found myself chatting up the locals at a diner to find some fun. They pointed us to the Dali Museum, and boy was it a good tip. I really enjoyed viewing this collection of his work.

They list points of interest, campgrounds, RV shows, rallies and much more for people who do a lot of camping and RV travel.

Very good article, Barry and Monique.
I earned my living in photography for six years before moving on to a completely new career. As to your question about the difference between money-making art and snapshots, I think I can offer a brief list to consider:
1. The photo is of historic value, and is one of a kind, such as the snapshot of the fireman raising the flag after 9/11.
2. The photo is of a rare moment, such as a photo of John Kennedy in the oval office with little John playing under the desk.
3. The picture was taken by someone famous.
4. The photo conveys an emotion, such as solitude, peace, contentment, etc. and
is technically correct: properly composed, perfectly exposed – showing detail in the shadows and highlights, etc. Photoshop makes the second part a little easier.
Barry, many of your photos are indeed art. Just pick some scene you especially like, bring it to Costco and have it printed poster-size on canvas-like paper, and you will indeed have “art.”
Pete
What a great essay, Barry! Very thoughtful. I agree completely with your comments about art.
Gary
DO NOT ever ask that question around an artist or you shall never hear the end of it. My wife is an artist ( name is withheld because she would kill me) and I have heard the difference, many times.
Much as a person who makes their living selling art can never be considered an artist. Enough said, nice article.

Howdy Barry,
Very good article and explanation!!! One of Joyce’s friends was a curator @ The
Getty, when it opened, but we didn’t get out there and now he’s back East, somewhere.. He went to the Getty from the Chicago Museum of Natural History!!!
Hope y’all have a great day!!!
Teri Blaschke
Great thoughts on the differences between our snapshots and museum photography.
Seems many of our Hidden Valley guests are on to your trick because your sample questions are common when our guests arrive at our San Antonio area location.
We also like to ask them to stop by or email us on their way out with any new found treasures they came across during their visit. They are our best sources for new hotspots.

I do the same thing when we get to a new town. It embarrasses Mike to no end, but we end up with a much richer experience out of each visit.
