‎”We just saw one of the most moving documentaries at Sundance Film Festival that we’ve ever come across. It’s called Blood Brother, directed by Steve Hoover. Don’t bother bringing tissues to the theater. They won’t do you any good. Bring a plastic tarp and ten rolls of paper towels.”

- Jedidiah Jenkins, Director of Idea Development

i love that tiny shutter window frozen moment that i’ve always wanted to see without knowing it The many layers of a picture and the people frozen in the space behind the subjects Unless the layers are the subjects and perhaps every picture is a painting of the insane history of the universe that brought those souls to be standing behind those eternal souls ‘there are no ordinary people, only eternal souls becoming gods and monsters’ or somethinglikethat cs lewis said  I think about that a lot as I ignore a jabbering homeless woman that looks at me with distant eyes dehumanizing me as a pocket-book-preppy-asshole-with-spoiling-parents as i dehumanize her as the result of a long string of short-sighted-self-serving-corroded-willpower-weakness-decisions and she tells me some weak and tired lie that once probably sounded real about a bus ticket to see her children and i might buy her something at 7/11 although i probably wont because i’m rushing somewhere far less important than the state of her life and as with everything I am, so enter the mitigating factors of: my belief that a free society must give people the right to suffer from their decisions, and my spread-too-thin lifestyle of care can destroy me and more importantly them as they see in me a promise i cannot fulfill…  blah blah  there are no ordinary people.

The many layers of a picture and the people frozen in the space behind the subjects

Unless the layers are the subjects and perhaps every picture is a painting of the insane

history of the universe that brought those souls to be standing behind those eternal souls

‘there are no ordinary people, only eternal souls becoming gods and monsters’ or somethinglikethat cs lewis said 

I think about that a lot as I ignore a jabbering homeless woman that looks at me with distant eyes dehumanizing me as a pocket-book-preppy-asshole-with-spoiling-parents as i dehumanize her as the result of a long string of short-sighted-self-serving-corroded-willpower-weakness-decisions

and she tells me some weak and tired lie that once probably sounded real about a bus ticket to see her children and i might buy her something at 7/11 although i probably wont because i’m rushing somewhere far less important than the state of her life

and as with everything I am, so enter the mitigating factors of: my belief that a free society must give people the right to suffer from their decisions, and my spread-too-thin lifestyle of care can destroy me and more importantly them as they see in me a promise i cannot fulfill…  blah blah 

there are no ordinary people.
