I Like Distortion.
That’s the name of the photo. It’s name isn’t some hidden analogy that can only be figured out by prodding the bum of the author or photographer until they finally say, “oh my goodness, fine—it’s an allusion to the bible.” If anyone pokes me in the butt after I post this, I will be filing charges.
I took this photo on a random day in Boston. I was tired, and I secretly wanted to find my friend who was doing work in a cafe and surprise them. Instead, they left, and I had to pretend I actually wanted to take photos. I took one good photo the whole trip—this isn’t it. I like this photo though, not because it’s a beautiful picture, but because it represents something to me. In Ezekiel 12:5, it states that… Blah blah blah. It’s a photo of fallen leaves. They are beautiful. Not because they mean something deep to me, but because they are orange and bright.
In terms of editing styles, I took the words of my favorite philosopher to heart. It’s a noble lie, this photo. it doesn’t look like that in real life. The trees don’t bend, mirroring the weird wall that happens to bend as well. Instead, I said lets make it look like it has a herniated disc in it’s back and can’t stand up straight anymore. Well I did that perfectly—at least I think I did. But honestly, if you disagree, you can just send me hate mail, or email me, or cover your own mouth with tape so I don’t need to hear your uneducated and slightly incorrect—sorry, blatantly incorrect—opinion. Bye bye
