I look at photos like this and I just develop these intricate plots for movies and characters and stories and stufffff.
this is a perfect scene for a movie.
SF via the 60s! SF: the happiest place on Earth.
After endless days turned to weeks turned to months of restlessness and various anxieties about wasting my life, I've finally achieved a sense of completion and accomplishment. As you are all probably aware of by now, I launched my two collectives, The Wandering and Teenage Diary.
These are some pretty photos I adore. They have a glorious psychedelic vibe (to me) and I just really thoroughly enjoy them. I love shooting photographs with film, and I'm getting interested in experimental photography more and more. I want to try and build a kaleidoscope camera lens. It actually wouldn't be too hard, and it would produce the most incredible photographs. I really need a printer with a scanner so I can scan stuff onto my computer more easily. I've been getting really into drawing on photos I've taken and I want to share them on my blog. As of now I feel very much at peace with myself and with my previously lingering desire to accomplish something/feel like I was creating something worth while and doing something worth while.
Right now I desperately want to shoot a film, but I don't have a proper video camera or actors really. I have a super great story though. I actually have numerous stories I want to film. I think film is definitely a profession I'm interested in. It's combining everything I love: stories, writing, art, photography, shrine-making (set design), and fashion. Wes Anderson is definitely the person who inspired me to get into film making, even though (ironically) I have yet to make even one movie.
your two collectives are like super cool and I love the last picture
ReplyDeleteEva, this is crazy. Your last paragraph describes me perfectly, that's basically, everything... More and more everyday film is becoming the profession that seems the best fit for me, becauseee it combines everything I love! I've literally said that exact sentence so many times! Writing, aesthetics, art, etc. And I never realized any of this until my utter obsession with Wes Anderson began... and I, too, have yet to make even one movie.
ReplyDeleteWe are literally twins seperated at birth, just like you said, and this is crazy, grrrl.
Also, The Wandering Collective has helped me to feel like I have somewhere for creative energy to go that's actually worthwhile and I really am honoured to be a part of it. So thanks! Yay!
OHh These pictures are so Perfect!i seriously Love them so much. And you are so incredibly inspiring, you make me Feel really ... Letsgooutsideandplaywithunicornswhilewearingstudsandpracticebitchfacingwithmycamera. I am a Creep. And I want to be an actor in your Movie!! I Love love Love acting and your creativity and ohgod I would love to. <3

Eva you and this are beautiful! I know exactly what you mean about developing like an entire story/film from a picture. I used to be so much more into film and used to make more time to see movies, and make them all the time, and I haven't in ages and it feels like something in me has been turned off. You know when you lose momentum in something and it's hard to get back into it but once you do the ideas and creativity just never stop coming? That. Trying to do that.
