"I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet. "
I finally bought the camera I've been wanting for forever! The Canon Powershot G11. I just fooled around a little with it today, took pictures of various things I found interesting and my favorite knick knacks in my room and around my apartment....
I'm not sure who(that reads my blog) is going to appreciate besides me the fact that this is a video of Radiohead opening the song "Everything in the Right Place" with the song "Dr. Baker" by The Beta Band. I've decided that if I had a life threatening disease and the make-a-wish foundation could grant me one wish it would be to have a private Radiohead concert at Great American Music Hall with all of my close friends. I got that idea because upon being asked the same question, a friend of a friend said she would have Garth Brooks sing to her. That also sounds nice, but Radiohead might be more uplifting? Enjoy...
Despite that this is my favorite music video, YES I meant to post THIS one....
umm and holy mackerel, who could forget about THIS performance? I love at the end when he looks like a little kid when jumping up and down to try and get the musicians to finish the song.
I think The Sartorialist is popular not because of the style he photographs necessarily, but because of his photography. He really has a knack for catching people in the natural air they possess. The kind of air that cannot be forced. I really appreciate that, because fashion is so more than just clothes, it’s a personality, and somehow he captures both. His ability to indirectly or directly succeed in getting these people to evoke such an honest presence and engage like that with a camera present AND after meeting them for 5 seconds is unbelievable to me.
Ya, so I'm pretty sure emotional engagement can't be photoshopped. All pictures via The Sartorialist
At last I finished my drawing class at city college! Ended up being so rewarding. Final project was on film stills and mine's from the movie "Breathless" directed by Godard. Check it out...
The Original...
My final charcoal drawing...
Everyone else's! This class was at night and took place in a Jr. high school, so we had to put a lot of the drawings on top of this weird mural thing that bunch of 12 year olds made about living in the Fillmore...
