Did the story of Scott Bourne's photograph: "Cranes in the Fire Mist" make you cry?

as told on

He's been going to the smae spot for over 10 years, trying to get one photo. Amazing? I thought so. The tip goes to a similar inspirational story / link. Thanks.

Apparently, I'm way too cynical. The story lost me when it said "The image struck me to the point that I spent the last 12 years trying to re-create my own version of it."

He went to ALL That work to do something that had already been done. I mean, it's a nice photo, but not THAT nice.

Of course, I wrote a book on people who persevered against the odds and am working on a second one. So, perhaps it takes a LOT to impress me. Such as this picture:

Okay, you might not think it is much until you realize that it was painted by Esref Armagan, of Ankara, Turkey, who is a 53-year-old blind (since birth) painter. Blind, yet he manages to paint with perspective and depth.

That's inspirational (to me).

that's certainly something

I have since looked up Arthur Morris, who Scott Bourne said took the photo that inspired his picture.

I'm not much of a crier. The only time I've ever cried is at the first ultrasound for my first little girl.

But that's a very interesting story and very inspirational. Don't ever give up.

It is definitely moving, but I didn't cry. But I did let out a gasp loud enough to startle my husband, who immediately wanted to know what was wrong, and then almost as immediately assumed it had something to do with our Christmas dinner, still in the oven.

It amazes me that he kept going for that one shot he'd pictured in his mind. Beautiful result. Morris' is cool, too, but I think I like Bourne's better.

As a photographer myself, I can't believe that after twelve years of trying to get theis photo, rahter than hanging in a gallery and selling it as a fine art photograph, he is selling it as a very tacky photo-canvas on the internet, I think this is just a PR stunt to sell images, no professional photographer would ever sell his/her art printed on canvas, hav eyou ever seen that it is the most tacky display method, and in 20 years it will be the equivilant of the elvis paintings on velvet. I know that some people will print on canvas to hide the imperfections with the texture. I wondre if that is what he's doing. It is a pretty mediocre photo for 12 years of work. So to answer your question the moment I clicked on his website and saw that he was a photo canvas photographer I immediatley broke into tears, there are many true stories of real photographers braving adverse weather or warlike conditions to get the perfect photograph, ansel adams sometimes phtographed the same view over the course of years just to get the clouds just right, he actually printed and framed and displayed his photos as if they he respected himself...photos on canvas! I'm crying!
