Big Tree or Big Fish? - 10:00 AM
Last night as I was editing this image, I just felt that it was strangely familiar, as if i've seen it somewhere and suddenly i recalled that years ago, i watched this movie called Big Fish..I think all of us are influenced and inspired by the things that we come into contact with everyday. It could be anything!
I chanced upon this excerpt from another photographer's blog..
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it is you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - It's where you take them to."
- Jim Jarmusch"
