    God I love coordinated primality
    /
    I quit dance at 11 years old because my good turns were on my left foot and everyone else’s were on right
    “I’ll never make it in a group number!”

    But I could do six turns in a pirouette on that left foot
    Most I saw on the glorious and enviable right-footed were three, maybe four

    Had I grown into my voice by then (this wouldn’t happen for another fifteen years) I might have gently demanded a solo number

    Instead I stopped turning all together 
    \
      And today, I got seven

    Contemporary surrealism (I loooooove to see it) Delicate yet powerfully poetic. This careful relationship between a woman’s body and a camera- like a dance in and of itself.

    Reminds me of this painting I always find myself drawn to but have never read into at the Art Institute of Chicago

    I looked it up; it’s Day (Truth) by Ferdinand Hodler. 
    I wonder if this is just similar in style visually or if there’s more to it…………….…..…I shall investigate

    People suck your niece and I love you Hirayama!!!!!
    Tactful and meticulous this dude is an expert of his craft and I refuse to refer to it as anything but (a great reflection of Japanese aestheticism in practice pervading the mundane). I loved how the photos he takes are of the same quality of his dreams; lets you know right away they are important to him and beautiful to see them come together as the film progresses. Pace of film…
