In a struggle to create artful images I am finding it quite entertaining at times to produce a real Kitsch, the kind of creation with little or no art value, yet something that delights a lot of people with an easy to please tastes. Hence the idea of the 'Surbiton Semis Kitsch' series - sort of London Suburban Fireplace Pelmet Kitsch - pictures to complement colourful knitted Tea-cosies, collections of royal wedding nicknacks and porcelain leaping deers. In the process I asked myself where do 'we' lay the crossing line between Art and Kitsch. How do YOU define the kitsch in photography?

hmm, interesting one. the route to kitsch is in doing things that have been done 1000 times before and thus lacking originality.
Hmmm needs some thought that one, hmmm.

And Hmmmmmmmmm say I .... is that all I can learn about Kitsch here? Or is it simply that nobody here was ever a part-taker in anything Kitsch and therefore nobody can comment?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Am I the only Kitsch-maker?
