Time Just Is - It Doesn't Move, Per Se



This Moment: For the last few days we have had serious thunderstorms, and in the middle of the afternoon rooms have gone from pitch black to sun drenched in a manner of minutes. This made me think about the films of Wong Kar Wai. With the help of his cinematographer, Christopher Doyle, he creates a moving wash of colors. At times the images are so sharp and focused that you have to squint. At other times the camera is so open to the richness of color in the scene that it can't scan correctly, and so it floats dreamily around. His movies have people in them, but I wasn't so interested in that right now.
