STILL LIFE

QUESTION #2

"When you photograph in people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls" -Ted Grant

I definitely agree with what Ted Grant is saying because a lot of them time, in colored photos you focus more on flaws and the clothes they are wearing and the color of their hair or eyes, details like that. But when you say a photograph of someone in black in white you can read their expression better, look in to their eyes and see their soul and what kind of person they are instead of focusing on the materialist aspects of the photo. It allows for a blank canvas with the distraction of other things focusing just on the person and they story they have to tell through the photograph.

TIME?

WHAT DOES TIME MEAN TO YOU?

TIME LIKE A LOT OF THINGS, IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO, OR FOCUS ON. IT'S JUST PASSING BY AS WE CONTINUE TO LIVE OUR LIVES.  THERE ARE 60 SECONDS IN A MINUTE, GO MINUTES IN AN HOUR, 24 HOURS IN A DAY, 7 DAY IN A WEEK, 4 WEEKS IN A MONTH, 12 MONTHS INA YEAR. TIME IS EVERYTHING AND NOTHING AT THE SAME TIME. JUST ANOTHER WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR DAILY ROUTINE. TO KEEP US IN LINE AND IN CHECK. NOBODY KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE OR WHEN WE ARE GOING TO RUN OUT. SO LIVE LIKE TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY. DON'T JUST LET TIME PASS YOU BY BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL THAN THAT. EXPERIENCES SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE. BREAK THE RULES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. STAY OUT LATE. WATCH THE SUNRISE. BUT DON'T LOOSE SIGHT OF WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE TIME IS ALL YOU HAVE.
