Photo

Came across this in my Lightroom database, taken way back in May. Edited the colors a bit but no other alteration. Like all of my photos, I will probably hate this tomorrow, but for now I like it.

   I’m not a professional photographer or anything, and I don’t want to sound like I’m being overly critical here, but I’m pretty sure this picture is crooked.

   It’s not crooked, you just have to turn your monitor sideways.

   and besides, that pictures looks a lot better vertically. horizontally it’s way too heavy on the right side.

   Empty or negative space can balance out an asymmetrical piece, if there’s enough of it. And I liked it horizontal because it wasn’t how you would expect the photo to be displayed - it’s how I took the photo. I hate you, Cameron. Almost as much as I hate this photo.

   Are we just going to completely omit the most amazing haiku I’ve ever seen? Yeah cornskone, you’re a fucking artist.

   Oh and Cameron knows his shit, I was at his polaroid thing at the art show. Well, not me, personally, but a guy I know. Okay, I don’t actually know him, but I did talk to him (or maybe her) once, and he (she) said it was amazing. Well I guess technically, I don’t remember what they said, it was either that the art show was “amazing, and the photographers had a clear sense of purpose and knowledge of how to use space, lighting and technique to capture transcendent moments in life” or that the photographers were “completely wrapped up in themselves and used the art show to illustrate their superior intellect and undeniable depth of character to the sycophantic drones, who were reduced to slobbering submissives barely avoiding Stendahl syndrome from the awe of merely standing in the same state as these spartan-looking hot shits of photography”. One of those was definitely uttered in my presence for sure. Anyways, the point is that you’re dealing with a couple of artists here Bill, and from a simple photograph we can extrapolate certain truths about you as a person.

   1.) Illiterate.
   2.) Single.
   3.) Bedwetter.
   4.) “Way too heavy on the right side.”

   You’ll notice that the last one, which is my estimation of you as a person, coincides with what someone else said about your picture, thereby validating both of our arguments.

   “White I/S/B seeks female with heavy left side.”

    Actually it just occurred to me that if I NAME the photograph “White I/S/B seeks female with heavy left side” it becomes a sophisticated piece of art.

    Polaroids were only, and should only be used to take naughty pictures in the 80’s.

    But I am having an art show with all of my camera phone pictures next Thursday night, if you could all make it out. There will also be very shitty coffee involved.

    Oh yeah, and acoustic guitar

    Hahaha

    And Jesse, it may not be the 80’s anymore, but taking naughty Polaroids is timeless.
