WRITINGS

first off to clarify: If you're on your shit, you can't give a fuck.

Now here's a quote.

“I don’t believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there’s one thing that’s dangerous for an artist, it’s precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.”

-fellini

This whole idea has been in the back of my mind for a while. Though it makes me rethink the WORD freedom, the "thing-itself" of freedom still exists. I hope. This seems like a realistic view for an artist, but if you have passion for your shit, you won't give a fuck about this quote. I merely mention his quote because fellini's work has had a huge impact on my mind. He's movies are extraordinary and also very successful; something that most artist want to secretly achieve (but also deny). I don't want to talk too much about it but the movie business will always attempt to undermine the artist (producers, marketing, and all that). For an artist to create something, it must be under pressure, it must have stress and tension for real stability. Ironically, i think this quote really says that you must be undermined and shackled for freedom to emerge.

If this seems confusing, i'd love to chit chat about it. {luobao@indiana.edu} Though i would rather talk to you in person.

Gina

My friend Gina made a great investment. Buying a camera (at cvs?!walgreens?!?somewhere?!?) with a package that includes free unlimited rolls of film. SUPER FUCKED UP GOOD. I think me and Gina might have talked about this ( i'm not entirely sure if this is factual) but i guess shes only been taking images for about a year. New blood. She's damn good. Check out her flickr.

Here's a few AMAZING pictures

Teeny Weenie



Have you ever wondered what the fuck is a teenager? are you a teenager and wondering what the fuck? Here's a website of pictures that relay some information on teens. You should look through all the images, they are great. I understand they are from a certain time period and they are only images, but the point is to understand the base not the bullshit around it.
