Film Find

I'm an art enthusiast especially when it isn't removed from everyday life. In Liberty City is Like Paris to Me, fashion photographer/filmmaker Bruce Weber wraps his artistic perspective around the inner city gem of sorts. He connects Parisian fresh romance with Liberty City's stampede toward equality for all. The magic is in the music, dance, and true-to-life emotion which comes through loud and clear.




Weber writes, "We all want the same things: just a little bit of understanding, love, and encouragement for the soul."

fantasy... right?


Saw this pic from a not-yet-titled Disney/Pixar production. That's actually Cinderella's castle sitting atop the wasteland. I'm not sure who the artist is but he/she's done an incredible job.

How can one submit to the practice of elimination without having known something worth treasuring by comparison? What is happiness without knowing the stubborn pain of sorrow? The act of elimination carries with it faithfully the act of deduction, which is undoubtedly accompanied by reason. And so it is reason that I employ each time I return, though I never stay and always pass through. Reasonably I deduce that this place has known sadness beyond all joy. Tragedy speaks here loud and clear.

And of the six universal emotions, the only one I had yet to meet was fear.

You can be found amongst the truth. Or you can be lost inside it.
