Devious Journal Entry

  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Deftones - Change (In The House Of Flies)
I've thought about this for a while now and it'll take a while too for me to get into it. But I've decided that soon I'll be uploading only black&white photographs. A reason for this is that I saw this document about Annie Leibovitz and I really admired the way she used to capture magnificent shots even in b&w (if you don't know her, she was a photographer for the Rolling Stone-magazine and started before the time you could take 50 photographs in a minute with a digital camera that's worth less than 70€ ) . And then in some photograph pages I see these shots that are not so special by the content but are manipulated so that the colours are "astounding" and "breathtaking". Blue is way beyond the actual blue and the contrast is somewhere between reckless and disturbing.
I'm all against that now.

I know in some of my work I've tried to enchance the colours a bit but this is the end of it for now. Before I become one of these absurd artists that use photoshop to colour pictures rather than a paintbrush.


I'll be back in business hopefully soon. :) If I'm not losing my artistic insipiration with some simple and stupid b&w photos that have nothing to give as they don't have the colours to help. We'll see.

Mustavalkoinen on jees. Olen itse viime aikoina julkaissut enimmäkseen mustavalkoisia (ja neliön muotoisia) kuvia.

Yksi kaveri sanoi hyvin, että "sometimes black&white can be very colourful".

Mnii ja mustavalkosist helpommi välittyy se tunne, ei (varsinkaan über-muokatut) värit häiritse nii paljoa :P

Kiitti keräilyist vai miten sen ny sanois :D

Niin se on. MV kiteyttää asian jollain lailla paremmin - onnistuessaan siis.

Ole hyvä vaan.
