I was thinking about Creativity and the idea we don't "need" such fast and furious PCs to do .. . well .. film making in DV.

Anyways, one of my heros .. take some time over his work . .. yes they are stills and yes they aren't for everybody .. but maybe .. just maybe . . .. Bresson Photology

. . . . oh he did most of his "stuff" on a very simple handheld stills camera . . .

Enjoy! .. and keep those eyes and brain open . . ..

Grazie

thanks for bringing some perspective to all the techno-babble that we think we have to indulge in to be creative these days
I sincerely hope many of us continue to look to the masters of all the different arts of many other times and places to find inspiration and hope in an increasingly over-complicated world

Peace - fultro

Thanks, Grazie. Very nice.

Let me return thanks with a link to one of my faves, Robert Frank:

Now when Robert Bresson passes it will be a very sad day for filmmakers-------In my mind he is in the Pantheon of the five greatest directors ever.
