Araki

Been only 3 days and I'm back again whoop! Although it's mainly due to major procrastination for finals. I'm pretty screwed right now but I'm still on zero care factor. I'll start tomorrow, honestly, is what I've been saying since Sunday. But no really, tomorrow I need to start.

Anyway so, this I thinking a new layout? I used to make a new one every year, but I think it's becoming two-year intervals now. I still really love the photo and simplicity but the times new roman is just not diggable right now. Perhaps because it looks different on my laptop.

Oh I have a laptop now did I mention that a year ago when I opened it.

I'm not going to talk about any of the shit which is troubling me, in detail, because I'm sure to only stir unwanted troubles in my mind's waters if I do.

So I'm thinking of black and white for the next layout. Still simple style, but now monochrome and with maybe more than one beautiful photo. Currently, I've not pursued photography in anyway, on film, digital or smartphone, but I have lots of growing shit bookmarked if that counts.

More than before I've found a specific style which I absolutely adore. I think it evolved from a mixture of taking photography classes, tumblr, and continual interest in Japanese culture. I think one big inspirer is Nobuyoshi Araki who has some pretty weird shit, but at the same time a lot of good shit. To me at least.

Women are freaking beautiful creatures. Especially asian women. No les. And I don't mean porn. Fine art nude photography yes. I guess it could be porn. But what I want mostly is to capture bits and pieces and create some sort of montage linking those bits together in a vague mysterious feeling. Film noir-ish? I'm sure there's proper names but I'm lost there.

I don't know why it fascinates me so but it's beautiful and quiet yet loud and shocking and bordering disgusting (?) but I love it. There are some beautiful photobooks I would die for. There's a lot of basis on several pictures to secure that 'feeling,' like telling a story. Something forlorn, something sad and lonely there that resonates I guess lmfao shh. Some pics; some Araki some not:


Love the ones of Araki's wife<3
