Some images of dinosaurs were nudging my imagination since a few days. I eventually got the Jurassic park trilogy, assuming in a way that I wanted to see the movies… and today we watched the 3 of them with Eric. Well, I’m not sure if I got what I was looking for, I feel a bit tired and as if I were force-fed.

Too many dinos and “Oh my god! What have we done?” which seems to be one of the favorite replicas of our cinematographic industry these days

There is one thing that caught my attention while I was watching these movies. I was busy looking at the images, the photography, the exposure, the lights, how the screen was empty or full, how my attention was attracted or distracted from what seemed to be the main subject of the scene.

That was interesting because I was focusing on completely different aspects of the movies that I would normally have. I’ll be looking for other connections in the next few days, and every aspects seems like a weaving of the reality.

Coming back to the dinosaur connection, it may have been with a scientific guy with whom I was counterparting, or a boy fascinated with his dinosaur toys, or some dream of an alien dimension into which they had migrated since their disappearance of Earth actually that is not so interesting to me as I don’t feel the need to look for this kind of information.

Since a few weeks I’ve been adding old pictures to my flickr account, taking pictures with my cell phone and adding them too, and I’ve also been looking at pictures of friends and of perfect “strangers” that I could find on the internet.

I’m curious about how people are perceiving their reality and pictures are but one mean to explore that aspect. This is what I want to develop currently and I’m more specifically looking for relationships between subjects, connections, movements… I’m not looking for something static though pictures are apparently static unless you look at those in Harry Potter

Avram had an eye for framing landscapes… I was rather crap at it myself but I was eager to learn. I’m still willing to experiment that though I’m attracted by closer subjects than landscapes.

Yesterday I realized I had at home many little objects that I could examine through this different perception lens.

Haha, writing all that I feel scattered because my mind is wandering in so many directions at the same time, exploring new possible avenues of exploration of this subject. One is also drawing, another is using colors, another is just feeling.

Well all that to say I’ve bought a new camera and I want to use it not necessarily to flood the internet with my pictures, but to explore the reality and its possible appearances.
