I’m starting to become obsessed with the Morris films that we watched. I tell everyone about them but I can’t figure out why. I don’t know if it is content on the films, because there isn’t a story, but the way they are filmed is haunting. The faces haunt and stick in my memory. The movies are almost photographic if that makes any sense. They capture what is there, maybe manipulate it a little, but they show what they say. A picture is worth a thousand words i guess. I was obsessed with photography in high school. Not digital photography or photoshop, but black and white, hand developed photography. I’ve never been that talented in the art department but that dark room captured me. I spent days thinking about how i would crop this shot and such… but then I started looking at the world in a different way. I started seeing views and pictures everywhere. I would tilt my head, crop things in my mind, think about leaving the shutter open a little bit. Many times it was about capturing the mood at the second, the actual feeling on being there. I think that is why Morris takes me over. I feel like I could be there. I could be behind his lense.
