Bam!

June 4th, 2007
Some nights, it comes.

So, have you ever been writing a story, and you realize there’s something missing, and it’s a movie screenplay so what’s missing is pretty basic — no rocket science here — and you have two cool scenes that don’t come to satisfying resolutions but then you realize they are the setup for the two main characters to be in a showdown where each believes they have to win to save the other’s life, and while they’re standing there, both capable of incredible destruction while surrounded by legions of gun-wielding thugs, one says the exactly perfect thing to put them into harmony against the hordes?

Yeah. Me too.

    On a diff subj. I anin’t no MOH, but can I humble ask for a comment section in the What’s New category? Otherwise the self portrait of a portrati has to go here: Man, that top pic is marvelous. Ha! You’ll be fightin ‘em off now, fo sho.

    Timm, A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Jer,

    Given that:
    1.) (big A) Art is about evoking emotion, and
    2.) fear is an emotion,
    then this week’s pic is way better than the runner up.

    I never knew before today that using a fish eye lens makes it look like one has fish eyes.

    I actually bugged out my eyes on purpose. There was a a feeling of innocent surprise that I was shooting for, that I didn’t really hit. How many tries do I get?

    I think the self portrait is great. Innocent surprise is over rated. It looks more like shock or possibly hyp-no-tized. Cheers!

    It’s beyond my level of concentration to be both model and photographer. Generally the results are best when I concentrate on photographer.

    The picture did come out a tad odd.
