"UNTITLED"

This is something I started late last night. I'm really pleased with it thus far. My problem right now is the question of what to put in the center of it. It's one of those things where I have an alarm go off in my gut when I get it right. Having said that, I'm not quite there yet. Though I really like it at this point and can only imagine my feelings when it's done.

Who knows what this will evolve into. But I'm psyched.

"BIRDS OF A FEATHER"

I changed the focus point in this picture. I previously had the image of Alfred Hitchcock as a clear reference to his film "The Birds". But something wasn't right. Eventually I had to give Hitchcock the shaft. He just wasn't working. Perhaps because he made the piece too simple. There wouldn't be much depth to it at all.

The great thing about putting in the power lines is the lines themselves. They bring a slight darkness throughout which justifies the bold image of the pole. Other darkened images seemed out of left field and didn't blend in. Now it all seems to make sense.

"They're Coming."

This is what I have been working on for the last few days. Not sure if it's finished. I added text and it seemed like too much. But text removed felt like too little.

Conundrum...

Untitled Deadline Thought

Yesterday was the second deadline for my recent photo project. The category was the color green and I had two photos ready to submit.

I completely forgot.

Shit.

Untitled Thought about the "Films of 2010"

Classics I Revisited:

[On the Big Screen]

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

Psycho (1960)

Halloween (1978)

Back To The Future (1985)

In 2010, I saw 50+ movies. There were many that I liked, few that I loved, and one I couldn't stop thinking about. After a single viewing, "Exit Through The Gift Shop" became one of my favorite movie surprises of the year. Others to note include "Toy Story 3", "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World", "Easy A", "Buried", "The Social Network", and yes how could I forget "Inception". Though it'll never be a dvd in my collection, it was certainly one of the better choices to make at the theater this year. And from the looks of it at the theatre these days, "Black Swan" seems to be another solid choice. I have yet to see it but I don't doubt that it falls into the "Hollywood Can Make a Good Movie" category.

However, there were some serious stinkers this year. These are the movies that go in the "Worst F**king Waste of Time" category. The gold medal goes to Rob Reiner's "Flipped", which was a completely pointless effort of recreating the charm of "Stand By Me". And speaking of charm, I can't forget the charmlessness of "Alice in Wonderland" or "Sex and the City 2". Both were commercially successful.

F**k that.
