Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

Hard to describe, but suffice it to say this is more of a ode to past Hollywood times than anything.

There were a lot of things that were amazing. QT is as unique as they come in regards to writer/directors. He takes huge chances, a master of building the tension up, dialogue, composition, color, personalities – so many things well done. But keep this in mind, this isn’t a movie in the traditional sense, it is more of a tribute/ borderline documentary to the personality types & stages of different egos of Hollywood past and in that regard it is thought provoking. The ending was a great payoff, but I think the casual movie goer is going to be bored with it at 2 hrs and 40 minutes, unless they are die hard QT fans.

Its a rental.


10 Photography Mistakes I wish I would have know when I first started

There are many more that I left off:

– Not caring about what others think and focusing on what is interesting or my gut tells me I should try.

– Its ok to shoot in P or Av mode, the end result is what matters most. Dont put so much pressure on yourself to learn manual right away.

– Take chances & make lots of mistakes to learn from.

– Find friends to shoot with

– Photography projects work (like a 365 project)

– Try new genres just to try them.

What did I miss? Let me know in the comments!

Have a great day!
