Read More“A well-directed sitting will have something of the quality of a good plan - a constant building and development of tension and excitement. The interest of the model and artist should both be carried along in the current of common enthusiasm. To make the sitting move in this way, the artist must work, must give of himself. An artist who finishes a sitting with his respiration, pulse and the part of his hair unaltered, has probably obtained very poor results. ”
My hair's perpetually rumpled anyway, but that Mortensen quote pretty much sums up what the last few months have been like. I've managed to injure myself at least slightly on pretty much every single shoot I've done. For a while there, I was walking into class with a new bandage each week.
Some shoots gave me lasting scars. All of them gave me great memories.
“When it hurts to take the shot, you know you’re in exactly the right place.”
“…these days, people seem to think that you go to college in order to get a job, and they treat it as career training, and that’s a mistake, a huge mistake. I think they should be developing their creative ability, developing themselves as human beings, developing their eye, but making sure they’re completely aware of the context of what’s going on in the real world. Because ‘designers are wankers’; because they think they don’t matter in a way, they think that they can just do shit, and it doesn’t bother anyone. Actually people live with this shit. What you and I do, even if it affects one person, it affects one person and there is a certain responsibility with that. ”
From a great interview with Neville Brody on Designers are Wankers.
