thoughts on video + streetlogs update
As much as I personally enjoy consuming videos as a medium, after filming a number of vlogs I feel that from a creator point of view - videography as a medium just doesn't scratch the itch that photography does for me
I feel that video as a medium is a bit too raw for my liking? Maybe with photos I am trying to capture something more abstract and open ended, allowing the audience to interpret as they like, rather than myself forcing some meaning upon the work itself. With photos there's a sense of surrealism that I'm drawn to. It very well could be that I haven't experimented enough with video to get to that point but it just hasn't clicked the way photos did from the start
I'm glad that the effort of producing my streetlog videos brought down the resistance of just going out and taking photos- if anything that was the goal. I actually have my 4th streetlog vid filmed and mostly edited but it’s become clearer to me there’s not as much heart behind it so I’m going to let it rest and put my energy back into photos for now.
