So I think I've finally gotten over the artist's block. I've started taking photos again by walking from here to work-which is great, but not exactly the best thing to get myself into right now considering it's almost Summer...
the presence of extreme humidity, the topless sweaty jocks running around the parks (which I do plan to be one someday, really), and the possibility of getting skin cancer just sounded too great not to say yes to. Walking to work gave me a new perspective to my city. I've rediscovered parks, ponds, and huge-ass mother-fucking water-dragons basking on foot-paths because they can, and they know for a fact that nobody would ever dare try and fuck with them.
i know, scary shit.
this whole post was supposed to be a book review, though in retrospect, I do remember failing at almost every review I made on this blog like movies, plays, and people's blogs (just ask Gibbs with my Virgin Labfest review), but yes, because I'm extremely stubborn, I think I'll just go along with talking to you about Michael Freeman.
If you're into photography, and if you wanna get a lot more serious about it, I'd recommend getting any of Michael Freeman's books. He's wisdom, and love of the medium just transcends from the book to its reader. Each page is just so full of art theories, and different design concepts that it could just easily fill you up without even getting pass a few pages. A part of me wished that I didn't bought the whole set- not because it set me back $120- but because I just feel like I've got too much on my hands right now. And knowing myself too well, I know that I would probably jump from one book to the other once I get bored about a certain topic; i.e. panorama shots, and HDR photography
But yes, do give it a go. Or have a quick peek if you ever come across it at your local bookstore. I don't know how much it would cost there considering everything here is overpriced, and I wouldn't be surprised if this book would just cost $20 outside Australia.
Now all I hope is that I could apply most of what he taught me tomorrow once I start taking photos again. 'till then, I'll see you later.
