Anthropomorphism

The term “anthropomorphism” comes from two Greek words: “anthropos” meaning “human” and “morphe” meaning “form” or “shape.” It refers to the attribution of human characteristics, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities, such as animals, natural phenomena, or deities. This concept has been a part of human storytelling and religion for centuries, reflecting our tendency to perceive human-like qualities in the world around us.

In street photography, the anthropomorphism of urban elements, like a graffiti-covered wall appearing to frown at passersby, adds a unique and engaging layer to the visual narrative.

The details and design matters

In praise of Ricoh GR. A sexy and sleek design that I find to be appealing and easy to use. Sure, there’s buttons and dials that may seem complex to some, but it’s actually simply a black box with a shutter button at the end of the day.

No more tormented artists

Let’s strive to create art from a state of pure joy. I’m vehemently opposed to art that is made by somebody who is a degenerate or depressed. These artists create work that is antithetical to the beauty that exists in life. Artists should remain pure, like children, untouched from the external world around us…
