Art is Kinda Dead

As I said before, I love cinematography. I am a huge film buff. I love watching, reading about, and just talking about movies. One thing that I love to do is just pause the movie and find all the little details I have missed on my intial viewing. A director who constanlty slips small details in scenes, and who happens to be one of my favorite directors, is Edger Wright. Wright's filmography includes films such as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Baby Driver,  and my personal favorite, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Because Wright includes so much visual information in each sceane, each frame could be taken a presented as a photograph. Wright works in the movie industry, where there is hardly any single frames. A movie is supposed to fluidly link each frame together to make a coherient scene. But with Wright's direction, the story is still rolling along even if the film is paused on a frame. The reason I am drawn to visual storytelling is how a pictu

For a topic so open-ended such as art may be hard to describe. But I believe this openness is what really defines art. Art is anything. Art is just a simple word to describe a person's work. Art can span from a breath taking painting to someone's dinner. There is no rules to what art can and cannot be. The kicker is this is coming from someone who knows nothing about the art world. I’m what you would might call an “active bystander.” I love analyzing art and learning about art. Spending an afternoon at a gallery or art museum sounds great. It’s the actual making of it that I can’t do. I’m also what you may call “artistically challenged.” I can think exactly what I want to make, down to what mediums I want to use. But when I put my pencil, or whatever thing I’m using, to the paper, my hands just won’t work. I can’t do it. And yeah, I already know what you’re thinking. But there is a point where practice doesn’t make perfect. So yeah. That’s where I’m starting at. It’s not

Cinematic Color and Design As stated in my first post, I physically cannot make a decent piece of art. But I do appreciate those who can. Therefore, I follow a bunch of artists. But out of all the people I follow across a bunch of different platforms, I don’t follow one photographer. Heck, I can’t even name a photographer. So when I was asked who was my favorite, I had no clue. I follow a bunch of photo related accounts that reupload artists work with credit, but I honestly don’t pay much attention to who made the work. All I care is that the account gives the artist their due credit. I just scroll through their feed and stop when I see something interesting. That’s how I found Franck Bohbot. Let me explain why Bohbot’s work caught and kept my attention. You see, I love cinematography. The art of telling story through camera work and style is just fascinating and beautiful. So while I was scrolling along and found Bohbot’s piece, I thought it was a still from a film. Bohbot h
