Classic Motherfucking Indecision.

Well this latest shot I'v been planning for a bout a week now, but came out with two shots I loved and I was torn for which to post, so I posted both on flickr and will post both here.

This is a manipulation of myself having a conflict with myself. The guy without the Beanie is the high roller/mob boss and the guy with the beanie is supposed to represent someone not doing so well. This is all about money and gambling, something I tend to have a problem with :) Regardless, tell me what you think of each shot :)

The Man Who Sold the World

Initially this was only a shoot for an English project, however it turned out to be so much more. These shots just turned out amazing and I loved it. This was sort of a test for a future shoot I will be doing with Orson, but either way it came out very emotional and having alot more connection than I intended it to. Now I realize I'm not the best photographer by any means, I'm sure many think this is terrible and what not, but I am alright with that simply because this is something I love to do, and this particular shoot turned out amazing, in my eyes at least.

The man who sold the world shot was more of an experiment, but as I looked at it I realized it represents not only me, but many of us. I felt a powerful connection to this shot because it represents internal decay through external activities. How we can be at the top of the world but give it all away and just loose ourselves in the high times of life. Once we get to the top we fall and it hurts, we get back up and eventually repeat this process over and over. There are days, weeks, months at are great, but followed by depression or insecurity. We let ourselves fall into habits which cause us to burn fast, like old movie film. The height of this photo (top of a building) easily represents the world, because the reference I'm making and the song "The Man Who Sold the World" by Nirvana is making when the "World" is mentioned is someones personal world/life. They had it all and gave it away. We repeat such processes over and over. The whiskey and cigarette represent our habits which we love yet end up being the end of us (this is not a statement against either of those things I just used them as symbols).  (The Man Who Sold the World is the shot below).

This next shot was also an experiment and has set off multiple ideas in my mind for future shots, it is probably one of my favorite views of Guangzhou and also just represents an outlook on life or the future. But it's open to interpretation. I did not put this up on flickr, but I am very open to your comments good or bad. :)
