My Thoughts
Split
I took this picture in a basement while on vacation in Salt Lake City Utah.
Not too long ago, I watched the movie Hugo for the second or third time as part of my filmmaking class. The first time I watched it in 2011, I didn't appreciate the color of it. Now, and after the first few weeks of the Filmmaking class I'm in, I definitely see the beauty in it. Below is just one example of the gorgeous lighting present throughout the movie.
After seeing the wonderful coloring in it again, I decided I wanted to try it myself. The picture I've titled Split is the completely unedited result.
Alan Perlis said, "Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatics suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it." One of the genus beauties in both film and photography is how lighting and color can be used together as a median to show in simple terms the complex sides of the human existence. Different lighting's alone could be used to highlight important ideas, persons, objects, or moods, as used in Orson Well's film, Citizen Kane, but that's for another post.
Humans are complex beings with many different sides to them. Color is one way to represent that, and it truly is awesome.
