I Love The Lazy Laid Back Feel Of This Video. I Can Relate To Feeling Unable To Be Productive Because

I love the lazy laid back feel of this video. I can relate to feeling unable to be productive because I am too busy thinking about someone else, and recalling events over and over again. You become addicted to feeling that way again, and it becomes an escape from reality. You wonder, why doesn't he like me? How could one not like me? The video captures this perpetual state of insecurity perfectly with its isolated suburb settings and the characters' lack of direction. The juxtaposition of shots makes it seem like the characters are in the same setting, but in reality he is in the wilderness, and she is in her house. In the end they switch settings. Their relationship is out of sync. 

Hello Hello.This entire album is beautiful. With so many Indie pop artists making music right right, I personally think that Metronomy is one of the best. When I listen to them, I picture myself in a beautiful country, on a beautiful beach, soaking up the sun, or in a car buzzing down a winding mountaintop road, wind in my hair, not a care in the world. This makes me want to make a french new wave film with Metronomy as the soundtrack. I just bought a Canon rebel T3i and I’m so excited.

I would love a house like this. Minimalist, sharp features with a lot of light. Plus its in Sweden, where everything is modern. The location is a bit creepy though. 

I remember going to the movies to see the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I specifically remember the scene where Daniel Craig's character is in the kitchen, drinking wine out of those fancy canisters, and enjoying the hosts' company. The glass windows, white floors and bare walls intrigued me. Could I really live in a house with absolutely no privacy? Would I feel comfortable enough to walk around naked? To be alone there? It makes me wonder why I like this house, and why others do as well. Maybe its because the house is so innovative and modern, and I would like to develop those qualities in myself by surrounding myself with it. It may make me feel more important, but there is no innate warmth to it. The glossy veneer may be barren inside. Nonetheless, it is stunning.

The Glassy House from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - “Home to a member of the mysterious Vanger family in David Fincher’s American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, this slick modern house is no figment of a set designer’s imagination, but rather a very real, and very cool, private residence on the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden.”

GIRLS

I don't care much for Lana Del Rey anymore, but this video is so beautiful. Her vulnerability plays perfectly on the screen. This video gave some substance to an otherwise mediocre (almost comical) song. Her monologue at the end truly affected me, and I wouldn't doubt that she is a decent actress. The most beautiful scene was of her in the garden, surrounded by fuchsia flowers and the sunlight in the distance. She was wearing a creamy blue dress and it contrasted amazingly with setting. ASAP Rocky as JFK was a very cool idea, and the children in it were adorable! Brilliant.

RISE: Jack Siegel

Jack Siegel was the first person who sparked my interest in photography. I still remember while all the other kids were going out sophomore year of high school, I was sitting on my computer, eagerly sifting through the numerous nostalgic photos that Jack took of his friends, and their carefree and interesting lifestyles. The pictures for me served as mirror to an entirely different world.You could feel the energy bursting out of them. Whenever I went anywhere, I would photograph whatever seemed interesting, no matter how seemingly insignificant. It made me happy to record such events.
