“when too perfect, lieber gott boese” (nam june paik)

I loved hearing about his love for imperfections. There is a long story behind my agreement with this statement but suffice to say: in large part, imperfections are what connect the viewer to our visual interpretations of the world. In our commercial world we all too often go way over the line into unrealistic perfection (see also beauty photography) but I find my most successful images generally feel much like “commercial photojournalism”. There is a captured moment that says “this isn’t a set”.

Nice one, you will maybe like also Corbijn’s interview he did while a shoot for BMW in 1998. He points out there why imperfeciton is an important fact in his work.

Very nice. I appreciate his perspective, and it reinforces my distaste for digital manipulations and extensive retouching. I would have never picked up a camera if I were not fascinated by the world as it is.

“Perfection is the devil.”
– Yohji Yamamoto

Corbijn’s Ian Curtis film was pretty good. I was not into the screenwriting (too plain), but it was definitely shot beautifully. And speaking of recent, beautifully shot, black and white films, Regular Lovers is another a must see.
