#LesCréatures One of #AgnèsVarda least-seen films is also one of her most fascinating: an eccentrically imaginative science-fiction fantasia that touches on #HumanNature, #FreeWill, and the #CreativeProcess. Working with major stars for the first time on a feature film, Varda casts #MichelPiccoli as a writer and #CatherineDeneuve as his silent wife, a couple who relocate to the island of #Noirmoutier (a longtime second home for Varda and her husband, #JacquesDemy) where strange goings-on hint at a sinister force controlling the minds and actions of the residents. Slipping between “reality” and fiction, genre spectacle and avant-garde experimentation, Les créatures is a beguiling, endlessly inventive exploration of the mysterious alchemy that transforms life into #Art. (at Noirmoutier-En-L'Île, Pays De La Loire, France)

Barry Jenkins’ near perfect film Moonlight did not need anything but faces and lyrics to engulf its viewer into some jaw dropping and mind boggling scenes. It tells us a story of a young, black, gay, poor and lonely kid, Chiron, living in Miami. The film pans over three parts, with three actors playing Chiron in his different stages of life. It is a character study of a boy who is trying to find his place in a world which has been nothing but ignorant to him. The films’ complex themes of sexuality, family and masculinity are portrayed by the characters with such care and precision. It puts us into a very difficult world and tries to question our whole social structure. Jenkins use faces and water to talk with the viewers about the evolution of Chiron from a child to a man. Water acts as a symbol for transformation and freedom. Whereas moonlight is shown as something under which, one can discover their true identity. The concept of masculinity is vital to the film’s exploration of Chiron’s identity and the societal forces that shape it. Jenkins gives us the visual proof of ‘some things are better left unsaid’. He uses close ups in this movie to invite us into these characters’ world. Juan(a drug dealer) and Kevin(Chiron’s friend) both presents Chiron with examples of standing up for oneself. When faced with the prospect of answering who are we against the grim need for change, personal acceptance seems like the only solution.
I always love a piece of art that emphasizes our traditional and cultural beliefs and poses questions that we never even cared to consider.
It is a film that anyone can watch without any specificity and it will leave them touched.
A surrealist oil on canvas by Reńe Magritte. This painting, the Lovers II , depicts or try to take our minds to simple places in a relationship that we take for granted. It shows us a grim nature of human connection. The inefficacy and failure to truly unveil true nature of even our most intimate companions. People are quite difficult to understand, each time you think you know them through your experience, you have more to find out each day. It’s like diving deep in a ocean of feelings and thoughts, some ugly, some beautiful. But that’s what makes it interesting and worth it, a deep dive. You may never know what you’re gonna find out. It can be a liitle frustrating that we won’t be able to know anyones true nature , but we can always try to know their deeper and dark sides through this gift of mutual vulnerability.
Girl and Death by Edvard Munch, 1894
Edvard Munch and his constant reminder of death has a special place in the ocean of art, which lurks deep beneath where no pessimism can reach. I am talking about the man who created The Scream. His traumatic masterpieces of symbolism and expressionism grips its viewers unlike anything. His paintings show everyday tragedy, jealousy,anxiety and mental illness. But right now i want to draw your attention towards this painting. It seems rather simple at first sight, a girl embracing death which is shown as a skeleton. But i always try to find,in a piece of art, some things that i am missing in my life. I want to talk about those things and in the meantime, try to shine some light on how this paiting brings it to surface. Girl here represents love . A naked women evokes a sort of desire but here it tries to draw a far more complex response than any pornographic imagery. It represents, like many ancient greek art, innocence and purity of mind that is rather a lot to ask from homo sapiens. The girl is seen embracing a skeleton. It makes you think about love and death instantly. We are so afraid of death and uncertainity, loss and pain, that we seek safety and comfort in love, attempting to make it more permanent than it actually is. The world tries to tell us that we will never lose love, through fairy tales of couples of who “lived happily ever after”. This idea stifles the very aspects of love that enabled it to thrive in the first place— uncertainty, unpredictability, excitement, and passion. Without these key ingredients, complacency and ingratitude are likely to grow in its stead. We try to manipulate love according to our needs for safety and security, we ignore the possibility of any pain and suffering. I despise this kind of superficial connection. The acknowledgement that love is transient like life and as vulnerable as death will give love what it needs to thrive. The purity and sensuality of naked girl represents this love. She has come to terms with this dark truth and embraces love with death in mind. Birth and love lead to oblivion one day, and ignoring it will do us more harm than good.
Instead of trying to rant more on this issue, I will leave you with a quote from Abraham Maslow,
“The confrontation with death—and the reprieve from it—makes everything look so precious, so sacred, so beautiful, that I feel more strongly than ever the impulse to love it, to embrace it, to let myself be overwhelmed by it…. Death and its ever-present possibility makes love, passionate love more possible.”
The next song I’d like to reintroduce to you is called “Human Nature.” Yall know I’m not averse to talking politics, and this one goes right for the jugular. Dig into the full song at the link and we’ll wrap up this whirlwind year with a breakdown of the lyrics and story behind the track in the coming weeks! https://fanlink.to/raycurenton-human-nature (also in my bio)

One of the pic of that goofing around-photo-shoot from a few weeks ago.. It captured a side of me i dont let out often. Inside everyone is a lil a softer side of themselves, and a lil bit vulnerable.. Something so honest about that side of us, when i see that in others, thats when i feel like i can see the core of their soul. #photographyissoul #photographyislife #portraits #makeportraits #postthepeople #postmoreportraits #photoshoot #shoot #modeling #femalemodel #vulnerable #soul #gentle #softside #human #scared #justgoshoot #allshots_ #livethelittlethings #liveauthentic #thatsdarling #thehappynow #photography #livefolk #humannature

Vaunt in the Hoh Rain Forest of Olympic National Park.
We woke up to what was my first and probably only sunny day on the olympic peninsula, which was just about the most exciting thing I have ever experienced. They do not call it a rain forest for nothing, which is to say normally when I am there I spend the majority of my time floating in my sleeping bag, swimming in the tent, or just downright wet and miserable.
Don’t get me wrong aside from all the bullshit twilight paraphernalia that litters the windows of the towns of the peninsula, and intense rain trying to force you into more expensive less tent like structures, olympic national park is one of the most beautiful places I have been. That said the weather is extremely trying.
So back to our sunny day. I went and shot at Ruby beach in the morning and got some great photos for the landscape book I will be publishing when I get home, while nearly having my equipment washed away. After that we decided we’d make the trip up to the rain forest and try to get a good shot of mount olympia (couldn’t get it)
En route we were nailed by pea sized hail for about half an hour. It was pretty awesome watching it accumulate like tiny white marbles on the ground. You can see it in this photo but it just looks like snow.
Somewhere in there Amy found an elk that truly hated her, and I used her as bate to get some fantastic images of it. Probably not the best thing to do with your girlfriend, but we all must make certain sacrifices to create good art…right?
Then some more driving up to rialto beach for sunset climbing over countless drenched fallen tree’s, and more. To hard to really explain how crazy the beaches of the pacific coast are. You’ll just have to make the trip one day and see for yourself, so you can feel as small as I do when I watch those waves crash over thousands of years of growth.
