Oh hey it’s #portfolioday

I’m Mike! Im a (mostly) analog #photographer who likes capturing moments out in the world. I’m still working on getting a website, but you can follow me here or on Instagram (mbrownphoto35) to see my work and struggles in the world of DIY film processing!

RIP Drew Struzan. Not just a movie poster artist but a man capable of putting lightning in a bottle, and of taking the form of cinema and encapsulating its spirit in still imagery. The best that will ever do it.

Destroy All Monsters (1968)
A frame from Destroy All Monsters (1968). A man in a yellow spacesuit stands in a futuristic room with big light up buttons everywhere. Some mean in red jumpsuits are in the background. The man is talking on a phone. The caption reads, "It seems there's a monster here on the moon too." Not pictured: the moon monster

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
