Clinical Applications of Cholinergic Receptor Blockers
Anticholinergic Drugs -- Anesthesia Applications/Issues
Preoperative medication
Management of reflex bradycardia
Use in antagonism of nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents
Common Applications-- anesthesia related (anticholinergic agents)
Preoperative medications
Management of reflex bradycardia
Combinations with anticholinesterase agents during pharmacological antagonism of nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents
Other Applications of anticholinergic drugs:
bronchodilation (e.g.,asthma)
biliary/ureteral smooth muscle relaxation
to cause mydriasis/cycloplegia
inhibition of parietal cells acid secretion
prevention of motion sickness (nausea)
component in cold remedies
Central Nervous System Effects of Antimuscarinic Agents
In normal doses, atropine produces little CNS effect.
In toxic doses, CNS excitation results in restlessness, hallucinations, and disorientation.
At very high doses, atropine can lead to CNS depression which causes circulatory and respiratory collapse.
By contrast, scopolamine at normal therapeutic doses causes CNS depression, including drowsiness, fatigue and amnesia.
Scopolamine also may produce euphoria, a basis for some abuse potential.
Scopolamine may exhibit more CNS activity than atropine because scopolamine crosses the blood brain barrier more readily.
Antimuscarinics are used clinically as preanesthetic medication to reduce vagal effects secondary to visceral manipulation during surgery.
Antimuscarinics with L-DOPA are used in Parkinson's disease.
Extrapyramidal effects induced by some antipsychotic drugs may be treated with antimuscarinic agents.
Scopolamine (transdermal) is effective in preventing motion sickness.
Atropine is also an effective antidote to excessive cholinergic stimulation following organophosphate intoxication.
By blocking muscarinic receptors, the consequences of cholinesterase inhibition is attentuated.
Atropine may be used in conjunction with 2-PAM which may reactivate phosphorylated, inhibited acetylcholinesterase by nucleophilic displacement.
Primary current therapeutic rationale:
Historical: IM atropine was used prior to anesthesia induction to limit excessive salivary secretion and reduce vagal reflex influence on the heart
current inhaled/injected anesthetic agents are not consistently associated with these effects
Anticholinergic drugs are not mandatory as part of preoperative medication
Gastrointestinal effects:
Usual anticholinergic drug doses for preoperative medication (and adults) does not affect either gastric volume or pH
Special considerations:
Patients with glaucoma:
mydriatic effects of scopolamine > atropine; caution with scopolamine use in patients with glaucoma
atropine + anticholinesterase causes little/no change in pupil size, therefore appearing apparently safe
Glycopyrrolate (Robinul): least effect on pupil size of all anticholinergic drugs used in preoperative medication
atropine & scopolamine: crosses the placenta; fetal heart rate-- not significantly changed following atropine or glycopyrrolate IV administration
Scopolamine is preferred when sedation is the objective for including anticholinergic drug in preoperative medication
less sedation compared to scopolamine
associated with increased incidence of memory deficit associated with anesthesia, compared to glycopyrrolate
delayed arousal in the first 30 minutes after anesthesia if atropine-neostigmine mixtures were used to antagonize nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drug effects {compared to glycopyrrolate-neostigmine mixtures}
Scopolamine enhances significantly sedative effects of other drugs administered at the same time, i.e. benzodiazepines and opioids
Scopolamine plus morphine: reliable preanesthetic sedation
Glycopyrrolate (Robinul): does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier; no sedative effects
CNS effects of anticholinergic drugs -- particularly scopolamine:
restlessness or somnolence
such symptoms more likely to occur in the elderly
inhaled anesthetics may potentiate anticholinergic CNS drug effects®increased postoperative restlessness/somnolence incidence
Treatment of Reflex-Mediated Bradycardia
Anticholinergic drugs: drugs of choice for management of intraoperative bradycardia --especially if due to increased vagal tone

Third Degree (Complete) Block
Atropine increases heart rate (by blocking acetylcholine effects on the SA node)
Young adults are most sensitive to atropine effects on heart rate {higher vagal tone} compared to infants or elderly patients
in the elderly: atropine may have no effect on heart rate
During anesthesia with a volatile agent, atropine dosage required to raise the heart rate may be less than that required in an awake patient -- suggesting vagal center depression during anesthesia
|P Wave
|PR Interval
|QRS (sec.)
|Normal but not related to QRS
|No relationship between P & QRS complex
Marquette Medical Systems, Inc (http://www.mei.com)
Halothane (Fluothane) (like opioids) probably increases central vagal tone, explaining why atropine administration is more likely to result in an increase in heart rate compared to patients anesthetize with enflurane (Ethrane).
Antagonist-assisted neuromuscular-blockade reversal
Edrophonium (Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), or pyridostigmine (Mestinon)-- effective by increasing acetylcholine availability of neuromuscular junction {secondary to acetylcholinesterase inhibition}
Physostigmine (Antilirium): not used because dosage requirement is excessive
Anticholinesterase agents are usually administered during spontaneous neuromuscular-blockade recovery
Recovery rate is the sum of:
(1) spontaneous recovery from the blocking drug and
(2) the activity of the pharmacologic antagonist (anticholinesterase drugs)
Therefore: pharmacologic antagonism is more effective for short-or intermediate-acting neuromuscular-blocking drugs (undergoing plasma hydrolysis or Hoffmann elimination) compared to long-acting nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents
Special Considerations: use of muscarinic antagonists with anticholinesterases in Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade
Reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blockade: necessitates only nicotinic cholinergic effects of anticholinesterases agents
Minimizing muscarinic receptor-mediated effects of anticholinesterase drugs is beneficial an accomplished by a concurrent administration of atropine or glycopyrrolate (antimuscarinics)
The antimuscarinic agent should have a more rapid onset than the anticholinesterase drugs -- reducing drug-induced bradycardia
if edrophonium (Tensilon)(0.5 mg/kg) is used; atropine 7 µg/kg is appropriate
a higher dose atropine (10-15 µg/kg) has been recommended, particularly if nonopioid-based maintenance anesthetic has been used
if neostigmine is used (slower onset of action compared edrophonium (Tensilon)), then atropine or glycopyrrolate (Robinul) may be administered as the antimuscarinic agent;
concurrent administration of these drugs results in an initial tachycardia because of atropine's more rapid onset
Factors influencing the speed and extent of neuromuscular blockade reversal by anticholinesterase agents
intensity neuromuscular-blockade when reversal is initiated (train-of-four visible twitches)
which nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drug is being reversed
Edrophonium (Tensilon): less effective than neostigmine in reversing deep neuromuscular blockade (twitch height < 10% of control) produced by continuous atracurium (Tracrium), vecuronium (Norcuron), or pancuronium (Pavulon) infusions.
Edrophonium (Tensilon), probably better than neostigmine (Prostigmin)for reversing atracurium (Tracrium)blockade
Neostigmine (Prostigmin), probably better than edrophonium (Tensilon) for reversing vecuronium (Norcuron) blockade
Prevention/inhibition of anticholinesterase-mediated antagonism of neuromuscular-blockade -- Possible factors
certain antibiotics
respiratory acidosis (PaCO2 >50 mm Hg
hypokalemia/metabolic acidosis
Reversal of phase II block (following prolonged/repeated succinylcholine (Anectine)): may be reversed with edrophonium (Tensilon) or neostigmine (Prostigmin) in patients with normal plasma cholinesterase
in patients with atypical plasma cholinesterase, phase II block reversal may not be reliable, requiring mechanical ventilation until blockade subsides.
Bronchodilation following anticholinergic drug administration is due to blockade of acetylcholine effects on airway smooth muscle muscarinic receptors.
Extent of the response depends on vagal tone (pre-existing bronchomotor tone)
e.g. a clinical dose of scopolamine may decrease airway resistance and increase dead space by about 1/3
Preferred Route of Administration for bronchodilation: aerosol
Ipratropium (Atrovent):anticholinergic drug most commonly used for aerosol administration -- synthetic quaternary ammonium atropine congener
most effective in preventing/treating bronchospasm due to ß-adrenergic antagonists
more effective than ß-adrenergic agonists in producing bronchodilation in patients with chronic bronchitis or emphysema (high cholinergic tone)
Patients with bronchial asthma: usually respond better to beta-agonist because of direct smooth muscle relaxation through beta-receptor activation and by inhibition of histamine & leukotriene release (chemical mediators of smooth muscle contraction)
Stoelting, R.K., "Anticholinesterase Drugs and Cholinergic Agonists", in Pharmacology and Physiology in Anesthetic Practice, Lippincott-Raven Publishers, 1999, 241-244
Vagal effects on the gut are mediated not only by acetylcholine but also by actions on intramural serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons.
Atropine can block Ach effects while having no effect on non-cholinergic modulation of GI motility.
Vagal input affects gastrin release and may be blocked by atropine; however, gastric acid release is more effectively prevented by M1 specific antimuscarinic drugs (pirenzapine) and H2-selective histamine receptor blockers.
Brown, J.H and Taylor, P. Muscarinic Receptor Agonists and Antagonists In, Goodman and Gillman's The Pharmacologial Basis of Therapeutics,(Hardman, J.G, Limbird, L.E, Molinoff, P.B., Ruddon, R.W, and Gilman, A.G.,eds) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,1996, pp.149-159.
Parasympathetic activity produces bronchoconstriction.
Activation of nicotinic and M1-muscarinic receptors is parasympathetic ganglia which lie in the airway wall then activate postganglionic fibers.
These postganglionic fibers release acetylcholine which activate M3 muscarinic receptors which produce bronchiolar smooth muscle contraction. M2 receptors may also be present.
Muscarinic antagonists attenuate pulmonary smooth muscle constriction, often resulting in bronchodilation.
The magnitude of the effect depends on the basal parasympathetic tone.
Ipratropium bromide has been prominent in treating respiratory disease.
|Molecular Aspects
|Smooth muscle
Phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation through Gq/11
formation: (IP3 ) + diacylglycerol (DAG): increased cytosolic Ca2+
Secretory glands
Increased Secretion
Atropine and other antimuscarinic inhibit mouth, bronchial, and pharyngeal secretion which reduce reflex laryngospasm during general anesthesia.
Also, atropine or other antimuscarinics are given during general anesthesia to blunt increases in vagal tone due to mechanical effects on viscera during abdominal surgeries.
Antimuscarinics, especially ipratropium, along with sympathomimetics, are useful in management of asthma. Ipratropium (Atrovent) has an advantage in asthma compared to atropine because:
ipratropium does not inhibit mucociliary clearance (atropine does)
ipratropium has no significant CNS effects.
Inhaled ipratropium (a quaternary, charge molecule) has limited or no systemic effects.
ipratropium is more effective that beta-adrenergic agonists in COPD (cholinergic tone may be the only component that may be attenuated)
Muscarinic receptor antagonists block parasympathetic responses of the ciliary muscle and iris sphincter muscle, resulting in paralysis of accommodation (cycloplegia) and mydriasis (pupillary dilation).
Mydriasis results in photophobia, whereas cycloplegia fixes the lens for far vision only (near objects appear blurred).
Systemic atropine at usual doses does not produce significant ophthalmic effect.
By contrast, systemic scopolamine results in both mydriasis and cycloplegia.
Note that sympathomimetic-induced mydriasis occurs without loss of accommodation.
Atropine-like drugs can increase intraocular pressure, sometimes dangerously, in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.
Increases in intraocular pressure is not typical in wide-angle glaucoma.
Cholinergic Blockers:Adverse effects
Dry mouth (xerostromia)
Blurred vision (cycloplegia)
Photophobia (mydriasis)
Ganglionic blockers act mainly at the primary nicotinic-type cholinergic receptor at sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic ganglia.
Agents which are classified as ganglionic blockers are not included among those drugs which block neuromuscular junctions.
One class of blocker produces a depolarization block: Nicotine could produce this effect.
The second class of agents include hexamethonium & trimethaphan These agents either competitively block the receptor or block the open channel configuration.
For essential hypertension, ganglionic blockers have been replaced by better drugs.
Ganglionic blockers may be used for initial blood pressure control in patients with dissecting aortic aneurysm because, in addition to reducing blood pressure, blunting of sympathetic responses reduce sheer forces at the tear.

In the coming weeks, Swag guests have a couple of great opportunities to view the Elk down in the Cataloochee Valley of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The first of these comes on Thursday, September 29, at 5 p.m. for a special, guided viewing of the elk with Friends of the Smokies. Space is limited, so Swaggers will need to respond by September 22 by emailing The Swag office at firstname.lastname@example.com. Unable to make the tour on the 29th? Not to worry. The Swag has added a special amenity lasting through the month of October. In partnership with Cataloochee Valley Tours, The Swag now offers tickets for Eco-Tours. The evening eco-tour consists of round-trip transport into Cataloochee Valley, a short hike, elk and other wildlife viewing, refreshments and a mountain sunset. The tour lasts approximately four hours.
The experimental release of elk into Great Smoky Mountains National Park began in February 2001. Each fall, during the breeding season, known as "rut," male elk make their legendary bugling calls to challenge other bulls and attract cows. Their calls may be heard a mile or more away. Large bulls use their antlers to intimidate and spar with other males. Most encounters are ritualistic and involve little physical contact; only occasionally do conflicts result in serious injuries to one or more combatants. During the rut in September and early October, dominant bulls gather and breed with harems of up to 20 cows.
The Cataloochee Valley is 17 miles from The Swag, about a 45-minute drive from the Swag House, or for the adventurous, a seven- mile one-way hike. More information about the elk in the Smokies can be found on the park's website.

Greg Miller and I did this climb to the top. Gillett says P1 and P2 FA are unknown. P3 10b past the roof was added in 1984 by Mike Caldwell and Barlow.
P1 is gnarly, unpleasant and felt pretty hard. P2 is easy but runout. Save a #2 Camalot for the middle of P2 and another #2 and/or #1 for the belay below the roof. I had neither and belayed from 2 sideways nuts in the roof. We belayed at the top of the P2 flakes rather than at the left end of the subsequent traverse ledge, so that a leader fall reaching the first bolt on P3 would not be directly onto the belay. The disadvantage to belaying where we did was that once clipped into the first bold the rope would slide to the right across the lip of the roof if the leader fell above that.
P3 is pretty friable, and is spicy getting to the first bolt with the gear below the roof. The moves to the first bolt are about 10a. Once you're clipped it's still spicy, because the bolts are quarter inchers (but the hangar looked good!), presumably from 1984. The moves past the first bolt are the 10b crux and get a touch easier as you get to the second bolt. Some easier moves, maybe 5.8 or 9, lead to a horizontal and trad gear. Greg ran it out for the full 200' far right to a walkoff ledge. Descend right via an easy flake (we belayed), more hiking, and then a squeeze down a chimney (can belay the first person).

Summary:First off, this club is enormous. It is the clown car of golf clubs. It feels like swinging a softball bat, and sounds like smashing into a trash can. I didn't buy it to look good, however, I bought it to make myself feel better walking off the tee box. It takes some getting used to, but once you get used to swinging it, you will absolutely smash the ball. I only swing in the 100-103mph range and I was driving 280-300. When I really crank one with my legal drivers I still only get about 260 out of them. You can take an old man swing (<95mph) and still get between 220-240. Definitely not a "performance club", but I don't have a PGA card anyway, so who cares.

Lionel Messi
Serving as caption and striker of La Albiceleste, Messi is considered as one of the finest players for his great achievements in soccer career and well performance (one goal for each match) in last season even though he suffered long-time injury, received lots of sarcastic criticisms and involved in tax fraud accusation. Messi is expected to lead Argentina nation team to ultimate victory to lift Jules Rimet again.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo, striker and winger of Portugal nation team, is undoubtedly the brightest star in football world, who led Real Madrid to win titles of UEFA Champion League and Copa del Rey in 2013-14 season. Since his outstanding shows, CR7 helped himself get European Golden Shoe award and refreshed goals record of the Champions League.
The 22-year-old young genius with gorgeous football skills is commonly taken as the heir of Brazil legendary footballer Pele. Elected as 2014 World Cup Brazil nation team squad, Neymar confidently steps to his first World Cup journey. In warm-up fixtures against Panama, he scored 2 goals to help Brazil won a 4-0 victory and left deep impression to audiences. We expect that he can show us a fantastic performance on the 2014 FIFA World Cup opening game – Brazil vs. Cortia played at 17:00 (Local Time in Brazil) June 12.
Andres Iniesta
The last-gasp goal scored by Iniesta in the overtime of last World Cup Final, Spain against Netherlands, which led Spain to ascend World Cup throne, will never be forgotten by fans. Called The Illusionist, this Spain midfielder creates lots of miracles in his football life and won UEFA Best Player in Europe Award in 2012.
Luis Suarez
Gotten a lot of attentions in last FIFA World Cup because of superb skills to shoot, Luis Suarez is undisputed one of the greatest shooters and the most in-form strikers. He contributed 31 goals and 12 assists in 37 matches played for Liverpool in this Premier League season. In 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, South American Zone selection, he got 11 goals as the top scorer, one more goal than Messi.

Portfolio: Michel Lamoller's space and time-bending tautochronos project
Michel Lamoller's space and time-bending tautochronos project
Tautochronos #1 - photography courtesy of Michel Lamoller
In his series 'tautochronos', Berlin-based artist and photographer Michel Lamoller takes multiple pictures of the same scene at different times, before physically combining the prints and using a scalpel to cut through the layers. In doing so, Lamoller's 'layerscapes' offer a vision of time and space that would be impossible in a conventional single exposure. His work is hard to describe in words - click through this slideshow to read our Q & A and take a look at his work.

*** IMHO *** Photography is a 2D representation of 2D or 3D subjects / objects. Photographers have been cutting & splicing photographs for more than 100 years. While Lamollers work is EXTREMELY well executed, there is NOTHING in the examples shown which cannot also be created / reproduced in Photoshop / Barco Creator or similarly capable software. In fact, it can ALL be done on computer quicker, cleaner AND BETTER in 2D representation than THE MOST dexterous person on the planet would be able to achieve without computer.
Pro Photographer - 45yrs photography experience - own studio 37yrs - computer graphics / image retouching 34yrs
Great idea but, personally, I find these examples missing the artistic potential of illustrating interesting connections in time and the same location, or connections in space at different times. The obvious use of layering is distracting.
But there's potential here for something interesting.
Not photography in the traditional sense of capturing a viewpoint. At least not a technical geek's sense of what photography is. This is abstract, legitimate, art. Not only extremely complex to put together (requring much skill on the part of the artist), but also a great play on the metaphor of peeling back the layers on an onion. Although personally I don't really see much of the time-shift aspect, so perhaps different subject matter would bring that more to the fore.
So in other words, this doesn't jive with the majority of DPReview thinking. Not enough brick walls to detect vignetting and barrel distortion.
It's creative, certainly. The concept of "space and time bending" is intriguing, but I don't see that on these images; I see layering.
The phrase "tautochronos" suggests some sort of "time equivalence", but I don't see that either.
Whether it be done by hand with physical media or by digital, the compositions are excellent, the technique, exquisitely handled. Exquisite eye candy belittles it but it is very pleasant and very well done. I don't get any messages here (which is Ok, because not all art requires a concept) but I do enjoy it! :-) Seems more (entirely?) about technique than subject matter, but I don't know the artist and what he's trying to express if anything. Its not quite David Hockney's "Pear Blossom Highway" using lots of polaroids to make up pieces of one scene. There are some street "painters"/artists with chalk where piece of the street turn into almost trompe l'oil (pardon my French, literally!) holes in the ground, or vaulted arches - and there' also that guy (artist) from out West (I forget his name, but his works are everywhere, no, not Ansel Adams or any other photographer, he probably uses either paints, etc.) who draws/paints? camouflaged animals. Interesting work - "I smell bacon!" ;-)
I like the goal of showing a time shift in a single image. I'm not seeing it in these images. Maybe this technique could be used in a more obvious way.
I do find the method of excavating image compelling, and it does not strike me as gimmicky, as some suggest. Physically altering photographic prints is a well established vein in the history of art photography. I certainly do agree with some that certain works here are stronger than others. But overall these physical alterations of surfaces successfully invite investigation and contemplation.
Very interesting / cool!
Some people mention it's too chaotic, but that seems to me to be intentional, to throw off the senses, if it was too perfect it might be too slick and "easy". Just my 2c.
Interesting idea but the execution is too chaotic in some shots, not in a good way.
Nice work. Creative. Thanks for sharing these.
Anyone who thinks these are odd or strange, well, you've seen something new. And that's not a bad thing.
Thanks DPR for posting these. I'm not going to enter the debates in the preceding posts about whether it's art, photography, useful, pointless or whatever. As far as I'm concerned those debates are pointless because they revolve around classifying these pieces. They simply are as they are, and I simply enjoyed them. Original, different stuff from my own, and entertaining.
More predictable than the sun rising, the collection of people here calling someone else's work nonsense and worthless. Probably the same people who walk into a modern art museum claiming, "I can do this...what's the big deal?" Well, here's the thing: you did NOT do it. Someone else did, and this is the case here, too. Maybe one day your pictures of puppies, cute kids, sunsets, and flower macros will be in an art gallery, but until then, try to be more respectful and understanding. Maybe you'll actually learn something.
Thank you Jeff for taking the words right out of my fingers. So predictable are those here on this forum. The work presented here has forethought and vision, not just a click of a shutter that yields the next cat, flower, sunset, blah, blah and on and on.
Indeed, Jeff. The artist's work is definitely not traditional photography, but more of photomontage. The picture of the man clinging/merging into the brick wall was quite fascinating, and difficult to execute, but the overall effect of surreality is just about right. Some of the other images aren't as successful. This is an artist saying to himself, what can I do differently with the camera as an artistic tool? Something rather unexpected, it appears.
But if your idea of photographic art is a single image perfectly exposed and processed, yet similarly jarring, perhaps you'd like Art Wolfe's Human Canvas series. There, the camera records the creation of artwork on/with the human form. Perhaps painters should be as outraged as the photographers here are.
... although let's not forget, both art and photography are subjective and everyone is welcome to their views. Personally, I didn't like these or the process, but each to their own. I think it's ok to say 'I don't like these' as long as its polite; and for people to lecture others for not being impressed or admirable ... Well, that's unfair.
Politeness is the key here. Although I'm more favorably inclined to the artist's work here, if I weren't I would not disparage the artist himself for presenting, and I would hope that others would be similarly measured in their invective. That is the crux of what Jeff is saying.
@chadley_chad So, you don't like them? No harm in that.
The normal etiquette among the more considerate posters is to compliment or encourage whenever comment has not been sought from you. Where you disagree or express dislike for another artist's creative viewpoint, such comment is backed up with fair access to your own work. That's essential to avoid being just another internet 'hater'.
Too many people use the internet as a form of therapy and a vent for self esteem issues, with little regard for other artists and photographers efforts.
That's not so say there isn't a market for ignoramuses spouting criticism to rile up an audience. Whole TV series revolve around that concept. But the 'critics' aren't people you would admire, or necessarily want to know.
@Eric: While I mainly agree with you comment, this part: "Where you disagree or express dislike for another artist's creative viewpoint, such comment is backed up with fair access to your own work." is kind of completely off in my opinion.
I mean, one does not have to be a painter to like or dislike a painting. Or to have the right to hang one (or not) on his wall. Or a photo. Or a photo-montage like this.
However, expressing opinions politely is what makes sense, and what makes a discussion work. As an artist you want (or you should want) to hear the criticism as well as constructive opinions, and know how to benefit form it. Of course "I hate it" is not criticism, as "I love it" is not "positive feedback". It's only that the "love" ones we like, and appreciate them, as they grow our pride.
@badi: You're right that opinion of any kind has more validity [and value] if it is backed by some reasoned argument. But 'I like it' is of course a positive and if we accept that affirmation is in itself a constructive thing this does at least give it SOME value. The opposite 'blind criticism' is of course merely negative, so intrinsically has no value. Other than that is reflecting badly on the manners of the would-be critic.
@Jeff Seltzer: "Maybe one day your pictures of puppies, cute kids, sunsets, and flower macros will be in an art gallery..." Why do I feel that this was directed at me? :D You ticked off the majority of my "collection" in one sentence. Guess I'm the poster child for "wanna be photog." LOL! (fyi - no sarcasm here. Honestly thought it was funny.)
@cris: well, actually my idea was that "I like it" or "I hate it" are in essence the same = no value. And we consider the "i like it" to be constructive, just because it pleases us. And it does please us. But that does not change the fact that one "I like it" from AnonymousX has no more value that "I hate it" from the same online user.
I am not arguing with the fact that, more often, "I hate it" comments come from haters or trolls, and the "I like it" from lovely persons. But we share the same internet :)
So, because I don't upload any of my work to the forums, I don't have the right to say I don't like someone else's work? As badi rightly says, one does not have to be a painter to like or dislike a painting.
Indeed, one doesn't have to be a painter to like or dislike a painting. No one is expecting you to paint.
If you are going to make disparaging or discouraging public comments on another person's work, it would help a lot if you tried. Let others see the results of your efforts to put your criticism in context.
It's not a question of rights. It's a question of being fair, as you might rightly expect to be treated yourself.
:) it's an interesting discussion, so I'll continue a bit.
Being fair has nothing to do with liking a work of art, or just any work. You can like one camera design, and dislike another (I don't give examples not to go off-off-topic), that is my right to choose the one i like, as well as to say that i don't like some model (and why).
I don't have to try to make a camera myself, realize how hard it is, and say they are both nice.
As to painting/taking photos/sculpting/etc every one has his values and tastes. I like both abstract and realistic paintings, but when i look at one painting i like it or not for what it is, i don't report it to "my skills". If i suck at drawing, it doesn't mean i have to be in wow at every ugly painting just because the painter has slightly more skill than me. I compare it to other arts.
I merely said I didn't like the work; there's nothing disparaging or discouraging about that; and again, I don't see why I have to show my work to make my comments more valid. I remain polite and civil and stand by my original statement that the technique may be clever, but the outcome, for me, is not something I like or what I find pleasing or impressive to view (more confusing ... and should we really have to explain an image; surely a good image says it all!). Guess I'm not 'arty' enough lol!
Art using photographic images for base material. Interesting, unique and clever stuff.
As the saying goes- "To each his own".
Any photographer/artist doing something creative and showing something different is way better than the armchair critic who has no work to show.
Nonsense. You produce pointless stuff it remains pointless stuff. Arguably you should do something useful instead.
But in this case that's not the problem. The problem is that it isn't about photography at all.
"....the problem is that it isn't about photography at all"
Nope. The mere fact that there was a camera involved in the making of these images and light was captured to make an image possible qualifies this as an entry in the realm of photography
Also, the artists, inventors, photogs who dared to step out of the norm were once called out for pointless work. This reminds me of how some early photographers who played with separate red, green, and blue filters to create the first color images were once thought of as people wasting their time in an era of B&W.
@The Name is Bond That's your criteria? Something USEFUL?
FYI one could say ALL art is pointless. That's why it's art, it's made to be appreciated, not to be USEFUL. A painting won't get you to work, a novel won't cook your food, a song can't put a roof over your head. Is the Mona Lisa "useful"? Is watching "Romeo and Juliet" useful?
A map is useful, so should I start taking aerial photos as my "art"? That would be useful right? Would it satisfy your criteria for what photographers should do?
Is it ... Can we not be critics unless we've published work ourselves???
Paper layers instead of Photoshop layers.
Brilliant idea!
This must be art!
I appreciate the hands on approach. Makes it more intimate to me. Probably is more enjoyable having everything out in the open in front of you instead of having to use a mouse or tab, zooming in and out, clicking, dragging, etc.
Doing something like this by hand makes it more of a "one of a kind" instead of being able to mass produce it with a sterile digital file.
Gimmickry, not photography.
In the same way that Ansel Adams' stuff was gimmickry, as it also didn't reflect what was captured by his cameras.
I don't think so. His was real photography; a close representation of something substantive.
This is just pointless silliness to wow the easily wowed.
And just who exactly are you to decide that someone else's work is pointless?
"Gimmickry, not photography."
More like creative, thought provoking, original, fresh, etc. A photographer that's saying something with his work instead of repeating the same old photos everyone else is doing.
Whether you like his work or not, at least he's trying to be original and doing a pretty good job at it. And this could lead to bigger and better things in the future that maybe you might actually appreciate.
If people like Michel Lamoller didn't take risks, photography would be pretty boring at times.
"Gimmickry, not photography"
And if you were alive when the camera first came out, you would have said, "gimmickry, not a real painter". The artist probably doesn't care if it's considered "photography" by you or anyone else. Newsflash: creative artists probably shouldn't spend time worrying if their work conforms to definitions set by others.
"Gimmickry, not photography."
@"The Name is Bond" : Oh yes, the artist is definitely trying to trick you into thinking there is something creative there. Make sure you alert the world to the "gimmickry", ye? We need more protectors from "gimmickry" like you.
Any chance you can now wow us with "something substantive" of your own? Anything at all? You absolutely have to now, given your comments above.
We are waiting.
Seems like something you could do a lot more easily with digital layers and save loads of printing paper.
Ah, spoken like a true technical pixel peeper!
To me, exceptionally creative.
I've done a fair amount of Photoshopping, and some composites with layers. However, I think it would be very time consuming to accomplish the effect with layers, so that it had the same look.
So yes, it would save paper.
But ... my speculation is that the actual art work would have a very, very different feel, in person. We have to use our imagination from the small JPEG's from DPR to visualize the real art.
There would also be a "tactile texture" as you handled it, that would be missing from a 2D print.
Yes, creative and inspiring!

A Michael Owen hat-trick and a goal apiece from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey gave England an historic 5-1 victory over Germany in Munich.
It's the first time that England have beaten Germany on their home soil in 36 years, and only the second time Germany have been beaten in 60 World Cup qualifiers.
Reflecting on the game Beckenbauer praised Sven Goran Erikssonżs squad selection.
"I have never seen a better England team and I have never seen an England team playing better football," he said.
Is this England's finest hour? How does Saturday's success rate with past England victories?
Of course this isn't England's finest performance, although it was definitely in the top few percent. But we have to bear in mind that Germany's defence were dreadful, that we scored at key stages of the match, and that our defence wasn't too great either. That said, it was certainly a great and historic result, but in my lifetime the best England performance I've seen was 1-1 against Germany in 1990. Then, Germany were the best team in the world but on the night we outplayed them. England 4 Holland 1 was also a better result against a better team and until we match the achievement of the 1966 team, this current team won't be their equal. But I think they can do it!
It's typically English for everyone to over hype the victory in Germany. Are you telling me that all of a sudden England are world beaters? One fact seems to have been missed: Germany are a bad team. So they won 5-1? I remember Newcastle beating Man Utd by the same score a few seasons back - big deal. When England start regularly beating the top ten teams in the world then they may be able to lay claim as one of the world's best - until then, sorry but they've proven little.
In Helsinki, your press said we saw the worst England team ever. In Munich, the best ever? Don't get carried away, there is something very wrong with such extreme change in the quality of the team. Congratulations on the win, but get back down to earth before you run out of oxygen!
I was at the match and it was an incredible feeling. Thanks Sven.
Adams and Ince would be in the team if Keegan was still manager. I think England have had good players over the years but the tactics have been poor. The English management in this country has been and still is appalling. Let's hope Sven is around in 2006
I don't know about the best performance ever but it was certainly the best post-war performance. We beat them 5-1, on their park, with their ball. At last those who weren't around in 1966 have a win over Germany to talk about for the next 40 years.
Not the greatest, but definitely the most enjoyable. Even die-hard Welshmen, myself included, will happily say congratulations to the boys for all their hard work. Owen was awesome, Beckham was a rock and Gerrard was just plain frightening. I just wish Owen would have chosen Wales over England, and then maybe I would have a team of my own to be proud of. Nice One Boys, - good luck on Wednesday
You mean to say that you think it was better than that win in 1966 that you all love to keep going on about? I think not! Ireland's result was much better considering that England couldn't beat Holland.
I can only remember two truly great England performances (I was only three in 1966): the 4-1 thrashing of Holland in Euro '96, and Saturday night in Munich. It's quite difficult to say which was better, but I think I would have to plump for '96 because the quality of the Dutch side was far higher than that of the very poor Germans on Saturday. But that shouldn't detract from the fact that England played brilliantly on Saturday. I hope it's not yet another false dawn.
Currently England may have their best ever crop of players. However, their most impressive performance in recent years was the 4-1 thrashing of Holland; the Dutch were a much better team and Shearer's men dominated more of the match.
Yes the result was excellent and exorcised the ghosts of 1990 and 1996. However, let's not get carried away by the tabloid frenzy which will no doubt follow. Win the World Cup? How about overcoming France, Italy, Brazil, Sweden and Portugal before we could even think about that!
At last England have a team and not ten other players supporting one star. The great Sir Alf always said that it was a team that won the world cup in 1966 not a set of individuals. Now I'm looking forward to Tokyo.
What a game, being a Man Utd fan it hurts me to say this but that was a victory made in Liverpool. That was by far Owen's best ever performance and Steven Gerrard was just awesome, he is the right footed Rivaldo. Get ready because the world cup is coming home!
I'm disappointed with the result - it should have been more! That was the best England performance I've ever seen. The players combined so well that they looked like are club side. Special mention goes to Owen, Gerrard, and Beckham. I can't imagine our team without them now. Even to have one of them out injured would be hugely disappointing. Somebody send me ticket info on Japan & Korea!
It's great to hear the sour grapes from Scotland. Makes my day.
Well done England, keep it up.
I've only ever seen two truly great England victories in my lifetime - beating Holland 4-1 at Euro '96 and the win in Munich. Every player was superb, especially Seaman, who needed a break to get the critics off his back. Germany were dire but England were superb.
It's amazing how fortunes change and critics become loyal followers. Those who gave Sven such a tough time when he was first appointed should do the right thing now - make a sincere apology to him about all those harsh words in the past. England has always been the best but it took a foreigner to bring it out in the open.
Congratulations to England and especially to the Liverpool boys. Let's not get carried away as the team England beat was probably one of the worse collection of German players anyone have seen for a long time. It'll be a totally different ball game when England play France, Portugal, Italy etc. Nonetheless, it was a memorable night that will live in everyone's mind for a long, long time.
This is the best England team I've ever watched. With the way they were playing against Germany, I think for England to win World Cup is not impossible.
Doesn't this go to prove what a bit of confidence and self-belief can do for a team? I always believed that in Beckham and Owen we have two of the finest players I've seen in thirty years of following the game - to see them prove this so emphatically to the world was satisfying, to say the least. We now need to consolidate and qualify for Japan automatically: let the Germans sweat over the play-offs.
This was a match to remember. But I'm only nine. I thought Germany would win 2-1 myself. I support Liverpool, so I'm glad that Liverpool players scored.
Loved it: Liverpool v Germany. Just hope we're not too tired to win the Premiership this year.
A big congrats to Christian von Baudissin for his generous comments. Let's hope we're big enough to reciprocate when the pendulum swings back.
I think I actually feel sorry for our German mates! I think the game ranks with the thrashing of an on-form Holland in Euro 96. The best thing about it though is the reaction on radio and the web from Scotland. Mainly, total silence, with the odd wee mention of luck, easy groups and so on! I'm not going to get carried away, but it underlines the fact that England are again a world-class side.
Congratulations, England. Please bring back Sven to us, when you have won the World Cup, will you?
We say in Germany "Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall" - "Pride comes before the fall". Thanks England for showing our team the door ... to humility again. Congrats!
Sven the man from Torsby has managed to make a team of the best football players in the world. And what a result! Congratulations England and see you in Korea in nine months time!
Well done boys! However, I have to laugh at the media in this country. After the Holland game it was all about how we were brought back down to earth and how we still have a lot of work to do before we will go anywhere.
Now, after last night, we are the greatest England team since 1966! We really do fluctuate between extremes in this country. Put everything into perspective, we need to play like that consistently. And really, how good were that German side?
That was fantastic ! I woke up this morning and couldn't believe it, about time them Germans got shown what we're all about. Absolutely fantastic!
The English players are now of a much higher class when it comes to technical and strategic ability. Whether the influx of high quality players from abroad is paramount or whether a long term program for training of kids from an early age is now coming to fruition, the result is great.
Sven Eriksson is a brilliant manager, unafraid to make changes to the squad, and an ability to influence the game while it is being played.
A fantastic result but lets not get carried away. The Germans were awful in all departments and I doubt if the likes of France or Argentina will fall for our long ball game to Owen. Potential is there but further progress is required before we start talk of winning the World Cup
Excellent result, wonderful game to watch. However will someone please save us from insufferable BBC commentators comparing this to '66. Pretty soon I'm expecting Lineker to say....last time the England goalkeeper scratched his head like that we went onto....etc etc you get the idea. 1966 was almost 40 years ago, it's the present that counts.
Before the match I believed that England would qualify regardless, because of the play-off draw. I was looking for a performance that would prove to me it would be worth us going to the World Cup and I'm glad, because that is what we got.
Great, fantastic, memorable, what more can one say? This is one of the best England sides ever.
What a performance from each and every player. They should be proud of what they achieved and use this victory as the chance to move on to bigger and better things. Now we can forget about 1966 and the World Cup win once and for all. Thank you Sven for what you have done for our national game.
The most explosive action I have ever seen. Michael Owen's hat trick was brilliant, but the whole team was truly outstanding. It just shows that with the right manager, the world is their oyster. Congratulations England on a historic victory.
Were you watching Scotland?
We'll send you a postcard from Tokyo!
Wonderful performance with such quality goals. The pace of our attack was sheer class! I told my children to savour this one.
Impressed by Sven's level-headedness, you feel he will build on this.
That has to be one of the finest performances ever. We have to be careful not to celebrate too much. The Germans can still top the table in front of us. Albania have to be beaten, only then will I celebrate!
I take my hat off to you England for a marvellous performance. I truly didn't think you were that good, but now I fail to see how anything can hold you back. Well done!
Now, does anyone still think it was a bad idea to hire a foreign coach?
The best night of the year. It is amazing what England can do when we actually pick our best players and let them play in their usual positions!
Hopefully when Germany are in the play-offs, it will be against a Far East team. I'd hate for them to have to cancel that tour. The best performance by England in a competitive game since the Holland match in Euro '96. We love you Sven!
No one, in all honesty, can say that they expected this result. Most of us expected at best a dour draw that would suit the Germans. It is only the German's second ever defeat in World Cup qualifiers, they will be stunned by this, and Rudi Voeller has some awkward questions to answer. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the Franz Beckenbauer household. My dream would be for England to win the group and Germany to fail to qualify. That would lay to rest the ghosts of Leon 1970, Wembley 1972, Turin 1990, Wembley 1996 and Wembley 2000. It's not over yet, Germany can still win the group. England must ensure they don't.
Congratulations! This was a really great game. England deserves the victory.
Definitely England's greatest victory ever. I predicted England to win, but not by such a large margin.
If England continue to do well and improve themselves, I think they are able to compete with the likes of France and Argentina in next year's World Cup.
This would be their most fantastic win, but for one small thing: Our local pub team would have put up a better squad than Germany.
And let's face it, your group does not contain the most difficult of opponents!
You have found, yet again, an easy road through to the world cup!
Words are not necessary. When I think of the smugness of the Germans and the Scots over the past year, tonight makes it all worthwhile. This is England's best result since they beat Brazil in 1984, and without doubt one of the greatest games I have ever seen. We can hold our heads up again.
What a great performance! To do this in the German's back yard is something else. Amazing game and brilliant performances from all the players, but Seaman's save at 1-1 turned the game. All hail Sir Sven!
Well well well. All of you who doubted can now give the boys a greatly deserved slap on the back. From the keeper to the unstoppable Owen, who could put a foot wrong? Apart from the flapping Germans that is. better cancel that far east tour!
One of the greatest. It put to rest the notion that English football is the poorest in Europe.
England's finest hour was 1966, this is just one game. But we should build on this and push now for the title in Korea and Japan. We can do it!
You can only compare this to the 1966 final and the Euro 2000 win. On all three occasions England had needed to win, but they don't come much sweeter then beating them in their own back yard. What a match - convincingly their easiest win, and most definitely their finest hour!
This has to be the greatest. I remember the 1966 final when the Germans always claimed we robbed them with Hurst's goal off the crossbar. This time, in Munich, not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE goals to one. English soccer is back where it should be: at the top of the world.

Juggling Concerns as Amazon Dam Nears Reality
But along with concerns is the reality that the dam will bring much-needed hydropower to the region.
"Later this year a consortium of Brazilian construction and energy companies plans to start building a $4 billion hydroelectric dam on the Inambari River, which starts in the Andes and empties into the Madre de Dios River near Puerto Maldonado. When the dam is completed, in four to five years, its 2,000 megawatts of installed capacity-a touch below that of the Hoover Dam-will make it the largest hydroelectric facility in Peru and the fifth-largest in all of South America.
The Inambari dam, pending environmental impact studies, will be built under an agreement signed last summer in Manaus, Brazil, by Peruvian President Alan García and Brazil's then-president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In a joint statement released afterward, the pair praised the deal as "an instrument of great strategic interest to both countries." At first, most of the dam's electricity will go to Brazil, which desperately needs power to feed its economic expansion-a projected 7.6 percent in 2011, the fastest in nearly two decades. Over 30 years, the bulk of the electricity will gradually go to Peru to meet its own growing power demands. 'The reality is, every year we need more and more energy,' says Antonio Brack Egg, Peru's environmental minister. 'We need hydropower.'"

We had a great stay, the cold weather came in late Saturday and we were gone by 3pm on Saturday. It wasn't too cold on the Friday night. We are very happy with the venue it worked very well for us. The meals were great, the food was fresh, tasty and the quantities appropriate. The staff were friendly, and helpful. We used the main eating area for both meals and our group meetings. This was fine as we only needed 1/2 the available space for each, and no-one else was using the dinning area. In all we were very happy with everything from the weekend, and look forward to our next one in September.
Good morning Jade, Many thanks for a great weekend to you and your team a few weeks ago. We had 4 members on Saturday and other one turned up Sunday morning for 1/2 day. We spent quite a few hours on the dam exploring and enjoyed the hot showers and chit chat around the fire. What a great spot, the caretaker took the time to give me a walk around so we knew where everything was.....fantastic. Facilities were exceptional, well done to the camp staff. We will certainly book again. Mark Lawrie Chairman QBWASF Queensland Branch Water Activity Scout Fellowship Assistant Adventurous Activity Leader Benarrawa District
I LOVED the food it was amazing - yummy!!!! I loved the teamwork because it helped us to have good chats about how to workout problems. Imelda
You helped me learn how to build my skills in co-operation, agility, strength and helped me to build a logical mind. In the end I didn't want to go I had had so much fin and got used to the wonderful environment, I could have stayed another two weeks.
I am extremely grateful for my amazing experience at Camp QLD. I now have many inspiring memories that will benefit me in the future. I have achieved things that I never would have without camp. I have learnt to respect other peoples decision and not be selfish I would like to thank you form making this the best camp ever!

"We really appreciate you taking Devon on and helping him achieve BB, we couldn't think of a better coach in QLD to mentor him and teach him. Thanks for letting us be a part of your Tans Family. I remember when Devon first started when he was 7 and he cried his eyes out (he was such a shy boy) . He ended up becoming the first one out on the floor, a teacher to the younger students and displayed the confidence I hoped he would achieve in such a short amount of time, as he went up in his belts he became even more and more assure of himself. I will always credit Taekwondo as being a big part of who he is today and I must say he is a pretty darn good young man."
I felt welcome from the first lesson and was surprised at how much I learned in the first few lessons. The great community feel and quality teaching made me feel like I could progress really well at Tan's.
My Daughter Billie loves Taekwondo, it is great to see how much confidence she has and how this confidence has assisted her with her first year at school. I encourage more little girls to take up the sport. I have now taken it up and train with other mums and dads..
I would recommend anyone of any age to join Tan's. The atmosphere at his club is very friendly and family orientated. Grand Master Tan has the depth of experience that we all can learn from to improve out lives. I am privileged to be able to give this testimonial.

Staff report
The World Kickboxing Academy grand opening took place June 2 at 3301 Kent Rd. in Stow.
Those who came out participated in free classes featuring celebrity fighters from the UFC and Bellator.
Students of all ages can learn popular disciplines, including Muay Thai kickboxing, mixed martial arts, SWEAT Kickboxing, grappling, Jiu-Jitsu and Ultimate Conditioning sports performance classes for all levels of experience and goals.
The school is owned by Asian Sun Martial Arts, Ohio's largest martial arts school, and its locations are all directly overseen by Grandmaster Ryan Andrachik.
Orville native Ryan "The Lion" Madigan is the Academy's Head Instructor. A professional fighter with a winning record, Madigan has fought in the Chuck Norris World Combat League, the Tough Man-Bad circuit, the UFC and numerous amateur kickboxing/Muay Thai organizations, where he has held multiple titles.
"It's the first school in the area to make the sport of kickboxing accessible to everybody," said Andrachik, a seventh degree black belt and father of four. "It's great for self defense with all the punches and kicks. Women respond to it, because in classes, you're not rolling on the floor with sweaty guys. And kids learn discipline -- it's all 'Yes, sir' and 'No, sir' when you're talking to instructors."
The Word Kickboxing Academy offers a variety of fitness, martial arts and fighting classes.
Some are formal, and some are designed with an emphasis on fun.
For now, the school offers eight kinds of classes, Monday through Saturday, morning, afternoon, and evening: SWEAT Kickboxing, Adult Muay Thai, Children's Muay Thai, Family Muay Thai, Children's Grappling, Jiu-Jitsu (no gi style), Amateur and Professional Fighting, and Ultimate Conditioning Sports Performance.
"It really is for everybody," says Andrachik. "The family and children classes are not full-contact -- but if you want full contact, you can find it here."
The school is offering six weeks of free, unlimited classes in all styles.
With no ranking system, SWEAT kickboxing classes feature lively music and an entertaining -- but challenging -- environment that helps students burn more than 1,000 calories an hour.
The classes tone your entire body; build cardiovascular fitness and make self-defense techniques part of your reflexes.
In Adult, Children, and Family Muay Thai classes, students learn proven fighting techniques in a safe, controlled environment that incorporates strength training and hands-on exercise.
"It's a world-class facility where pro and amateur fighters are training, but it also is really focused on family and kids," said Andrachik.
"We have family kickboxing classes for mom and dad, brother and sister -- it's a rare thing you can all do together."
Children's Grappling classes promote fitness and teach wrestling and mixed-martial-arts fundamentals.
On June 15, the school is scheduled to host a two-hour Children's Wrestling Camp taught by Hudson Middle School wrestling coach Tyler Peacock.
The camp is open to beginners and advanced students.
In Amateur and Professional Fighting Classes, students push fitness and performance to the extreme, donning safety gear and putting their training to the test.
At a size of more than 10,000 square feet, the World Kickboxing Academy features a full sports performance facility for students of all ages and fitness goals.
Most mixed martial arts gyms are not based on traditional martial arts systems.
The World Kickboxing Academy's formal curricula incorporate traditional conventions like a color-belt ranking systems and standard-issue outfits.
With set testing schedules, all formal programs encourage students to attain a Black Belt degree.
All Asian Sun schools are staffed by full-time professional Black Belt instructors.
For younger students and casual learners, the school emphasizes performance, technique and fitness -- not fighting.
"You are learning kickboxing from a guy who has over 50 professional kickboxing matches, but you're learning it in a safe environment," says Andrachik.
"Students work hard, but take it easy on each other -- which, really is how all professionals train."
Andrachik, a Hudson resident, and Madigan both studied Muay Thai under Grand Master Bob Chaney, who studied kickboxing full-time while living in Thailand.
A former World Karate Champion, Chaney also is a seventh degree black belt in Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
He has trained 217 national champions in Karate and Tae Kwon Do and trained eight World Muay Thai champions. He has been inducted to four martial arts Hall of Fames.
Madigan, 36, has studied martial arts since he was 14. He has a 5-2 professional record and is 18-2 as an amateur.
His fights have appeared on ESPN. At Orville High School, he formerly held a record for discus. He has been active with Boxers Against Drugs.
Andrachik was personally taught by Grandmaster Il Joo Kim.
Andrachik is a ninth Dan Black Belt, the highest rank in the USA. He is a certified Muay Thai Black Sash.
He serves as a USA Taekwondo Martial Arts Commissioner and Sports Chairman of Lake Erie Taekwondo.
