Redefining the art of photography



What has happened to photography. Its become more technical than artistic. People have taken every bit of emotion, every bit of beauty, of fun, of everything that makes photography an art and replaced it with rules, headache, stress and an utter lack of what I thought the whole purpose of it really was. What happened to people liking art simply because its beautiful, because its relatable, because it can make you laugh, because it can make you cry, because you just like looking at it?? I don’t know.

I really just don’t know. I have searched deviant art for artists who are sick of boring, emotionless portraits and cliché run of the mill, unimaginative landscapes and still lives. Who ever said that Holgas and Polariods arent legitimate photographic mediums? I refuse to believe that and so do these artists. They see photography as a way to express themselves. A way to show the beauty, the pain and the happiness of their lives. And here are some accomplishments of the indie photography scene. © Youreuglykbie

Be creative in exploring and experiencing the edges and limits of photography.

Movie of the Week

Saving Grace (2000) suggested by: ~katt-25


Plot Summary From IMDB: "A widow discovers after her husband's suicide that he has mortgaged everything they own and the banks are ready to foreclose. Faced with impending doom and little working knowledge except her ability to grow plants, she struggles to save her home. Enter her gardener, who is struggling to make a few marijuana plants grow in a hidden location and suggests that she use her green house to help grow the plants and sell them to make the money both need. He is wanting to get married, but needs capital. What he doesn't know is that his girl friend is pregnant and thus fears that they will be busted for growing marijuana. While supposedly working, the whole village including the local constable is well aware of the endeavor and is hoping for their success. When the plants come in, Grace takes the crop to London and tries to sell it to a ruthless, but charming drug dealer. Everything busts loose from there"

If you'd like a movie to be featured here (obviously we hope for an obscure movie... no one needs to "spread the word" about something like The Dark Knight) then write us a little paragraph review of it and we'll put it here. WE ARE LACKING IN NOMINATIONS FOR MOVIES. PLEASE SEND US SOME.




Music of the Week

Phoenix suggested by ~yazZros

~yazZros said: "these guys are awesome
"Rome" is my favorite song "

From Last.fm: "Phoenix started during their childhood by Thomas Mars, Deck D’Arcy, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz in the affluent suburb of Versailles, France, in the same culture that produced late-’90s bands such as Air and Daft Punk."

CHECK IT OUT: Last.fm

The club now has its own Last.fm page! You can visit it here and can see what music has been suggested previously and maybe some of what we listen to :P




--

Give us some indie music! Send a note with the name of a band or artist you'd like to see featured here and, if you'd like, a little paragraph about them.



Book of the Month

The Little Friend by Donna Tartt suggested by ~Ellesh

~Ellesh said: "Fables is a graphic novel about fairy tails set in modern day New York. The first issue, Legends in Exile, gives you a little bit of background information while following some favorite and classic story book characters in a new and modern way. A really sweet story, good dialogue and awesome artwork. Can you ask for a better mix? This is one to check out!"


CHECK IT OUT: Amazon.com






see you next week :heart:
