What I meant with that statement was that everyone is building on the achievements of others. I used photos from across the internet, but I link them to their source.
And I'm not one for chemistry, again, I used that quote for its ... philosophical impact I guess. So I don't know how he fell from good grace. The principle is correct though. Stuff doesn't pop into or out of existence, unless you go down to quantum levels, and those particles even out, so all actual matter does indeed transform. Unless you can enlighten me :)
I'm sorry @sebi99p, I didn't mean to skip over your philosophy. I'm getting sick with a fast moving cold. And it hit just a bit before you wrote your reply.
I don't really completely agree with the idea. But I'm not completely against it.
I'm not with it because I take photos of original moments in my life. I write sentences about my life that no one else can write. (without taking over my persona ... which really? why?) And I write about my opinions in ways that no one else wants to. hopefully.
On the other hand I do agree because I very much enjoy torturing other people's photographs when they are provided as free use. I have several such works stashed away at PicsArt.
I also use software to create little abstract pieces of art. Sometimes I use the software and completely generate every tweak. But the software also includes starting points created by others. Which is almost a mute point because usually their work is so lost under mine by the time I finish with it, but ... still it was their starting point.
And by the way, as a person who creates textures, it is immensely annoying to hear people claim that textures are ... just people ripping off other people. Because of this thought that it started out as a photo ... no. so wrong. but anyway. Probably shooting over most people's heads now and I should take my foggy brain to bed.
AS to the chemistry, I would love for someone to enlighten us both. I remember I was listening to a chain of youtubes while I cleaned the kitchen. And that was weeks ago. It hit my curiosity buttons but didn't fully engage any of them. So, I didn't make notes.

I still think your work is building on others' works. Sure, it's an original work, but you're photographing using a camera (not your work), and your subjects are whatever you're photographing, building, people, nature etc (again, not your work). I don't mean that in the sense that it's plagiarism, just that you're transforming the world around you to create your own thing :)
And I know texture is not just a photo, it's a face to an object, with bitmaps and stuff. I follow the modding scene on a game I play to see stuff like models are made and textured.
About the chemist thing, it'd be a curiosity, as I know chemistry is definitely not my strong suit.

@sebi99p, I'm sorry. It is currently beyond my physical and mental capacity to continue this conversation. Besides, you really should be writing on your own blog and making some STEEM off of this.
I will say, it is also the transformation of the world around me that drives me to create.
And when you write please hide this line ...
I'd hate to see old school photographers rake you over the coals. ;-)

What I meant by that line was that the photographers didn't make the camera, some engineers did, they didn't make the scenery, nature or builders did ... what they did do is art in the form of the photograph, and that's great. I meant no disrespect, just elaborating my thought process. And I do know a few photographers actually :)
And I do write on my blog, but I like a good conversation as much as I like sharing my ideas :)

LOL omg. I can't communicate anything right now. This cold.
I mean write on this topic. I also love good conversion. Leave me a link here to your article, I'll come talk to you.
But I think you should be earning more steem than I can hand out. So. Write where you can promote.

Haha, no worries! :)
Maybe I will make a post about this, I dunno. I mainly talk about games, tech and politics. Here's my latest post if you're interested. But check out others as well, see if it's to your liking.
And no, I don't earn much, unless I get featured somewhere or something. But I'm not here just for the money anyway, though, I'm not gonna lie, that helps :p
And I liked this conversation, so I continued it.

Lol. I wouldn't go that far, but then again I am drawn to discussing ideas :)
I'll have a look at that project, thanks for the tip.
Ma'am, yes Ma'am!
