Loser
Posted by Ann Baldwin (Vallejo, United States) on 6 May 2011 in Abstract & Conceptual.
I can't believe how bad I am about uploading these days. Trouble is I'm learning Premiere Pro as I'm experimenting with video. I'm addicted. Just as I imagine someone might be addicted to gambling, constantly losing, building a cage around themselves from which they can't escape. I was going to crop this from the right, but decided that space in the cage was important conceptually. I was also going to straighten the bars, but perhaps the distortion reflects the way an addiction can distort your life.

your decision not to alter i.e. crop from the right and straighten the bars, worked very well! it achieved what you wanted to say - you're captivated by your addiction... How is the premiere pro experimentation going for you? Are you enjoying it?

I'm glad you didn't crop or straighten. This shot works beautifully just as presented.
I'm glad to meet someone on AM3 who lives so close to me...I am in Danville. :-)
