Found Art: Wedding Photos

My understanding of found art is that you find something, you see in it something significant, you call it yours, and BAM. That's it. I recently found a website called www.thestudiophotographers.com, and by lifting their photos from their website and placing them here, in their own individual contexts, I am allowing myself to join in on the century-old found art tradition as a "blogger."

Found art specimen #1: man buys woman at the local wholesale meat market. Woman looks grateful.

 Found art specimen #2: this one is a little less subtle :(

Found art specimen #3: this isn't found art. This is just a great photograph. However, that doesn't mean that I can't make something else out of it...

This isn't art. This is just internet memery! 

Found art specimen #4: The far away shot, aaaaaaand...

close-up!

That's all I've got for now.I think that the internet is literally made of potential "found art." The existence of every bit of it is testimony to the death grip it has on each and every person's relationships. For this reason, a great shot like the one of that kid up there reverts straight to memery as soon as someone comments on it, completely on account of the medium and its social peculiarities. Perhaps I'll have something to say about that later.

Next time, I'll be posting altered images of (mostly) women wearing wigs.
