I'm starting to think I want to teach photography. Because from what I hear, a lot of things that I find important are being overlooked and flat out forgotten. With film quickly being augmented from the art so are a lot of the practices and beliefs that come with it. Someone, actually a lot of someones need to preserve these traditions. One thing that I fear greatly is the "shoot till it looks good" mentality that comes without a film background.
I could go on for hours about my philosophies about photography, but I won't. I'll simply leave you with a pretty rectangle. I have seen this photo, well the idea of the photo in my mind, many times. Ryan playing his guitar in his room. I finally decided to snatch the moment. And here it is.
Three quotes for you tonight as well:
"Go then, there are other worlds than these"
-The Gunslinger (Dark Tower I)
"Silently reflection turns my world to stone"
-The Killers "Tranquilize"
"And I am a master of this nothing place"
-The Smashing Pumpkins "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning"
