I Hate Fools also Life

I was just browsing around and realized that I keep finding pictures that people call "Emotive Portraits." It seems to just be a picture of themselves with heavy photoshop filters or weird patterns drawn on themselves. It really conveys no emotion, and even the few that can convey a simple one like "Anger" is done several (read:nearly twenty) times with the same make up and filters. And then, I realized that perhaps I don't know what "Emotive Portraits" are actually supposed to be. So I decided to look it up. As it turns out, THERE IS NO DEFINITION FOR IT. Somebody made up the term when they took a picture of themselves being sad about themselves or some shit stuff that's happened to them and then decided that they wanted to add superfluous meaning to it, and called it a form of art. And now people think it's perfectly fine to literally take hundred of photos of themselves making the same facial expression and call themselves an accomplished photographer. It pisses me off makes me angry. They're a bunch of goddamn gosh-darn second-hander Peter Keatings.




In other news, this next paragraph is for Mr Seder Burns. Hey Seder. You know what, I believe your Day in the Life project is cursed or something. First my media card breaks and I had to go buy a new one. Then, the night before I was going to take pictures, I went out to take photos for the Chinese Association at an event, and my camera breaks down. The clasp that opens the shutter snapped. Fantastic. So I went out and bought a new camera (so this is secretly a good thing, because I've needed a new camera for a long time anyways). And now that I've finished everything and made that goddamn gosh-darn presentation, I go and check on it and all the slides are blank aside from my text. I love this assignment.
