Blue Velvet
Last night again watched David Lynch' wonderful movie Blue Velvet.
I couldn't remember that the image of a crazy Dennis Hopper with an oxygen mask comes from this movie.
Colors and lighting remind me of Eggleston, Gregory Crewdson, and Alex Prager.
It’s OK
“Once a photographer has learned a few ‘tricks’, they are presented with a choice: keep chasing gimmicks or formulas, or look deeper. It’s OK to be lost. It’s OK not to know what you’re doing. It’s OK to fail. It’s absolutely fine to feel insecure about your work. In fact, all of these things are very cool because they state very loudly that a person is trying, striving, exploring and searching in a very personal sense…. call it what you will.”
