Sometimes you need to read something twice to get it. You might need to watch a movie three times to understand it. You might have to have that album on repeat for a week until the lyrics make any sense. You're allowed to engage with it and can keep engaging with it until it means something to you. People will see a painting at a museum and laugh about not getting what the big deal is but like you can come back, you can see it at another time, and maybe that next time it'll be different for you. I'm of the belief the "media literacy crisis" would solve itself if more people just sat down and did it again. Watched, read, played, listened, etc like I don't think people are getting more ignorant necessarily I just think we're not glorifying personally replaying things nearly as much as we should be.

this is from an r/productphotography thread where everybody was trying to convince a small business owner not to photograph their own icecreams. because they had been previously buying printed images of somebody else's icecreams (??), but the other person said they couldn't use the images on their website because they'd get stolen. so they got a $2400 quote from a photographer and this is one of the proofs, where they used a cone stand and photoshopped it out. you can kind of see where the cone changes color, not that it matters. but anyway i think it's really uncanny. like it's just hovering. they must have used at least four lights to do this. it's a 99 cent vanilla soft serve, which probably costs $5 in today's economy. everyone is saying "$2400 is a reasonable quote for photographing icecream" but like. is it...? i'm not trying to suggest photography should pay less but i am asking, do you really need high resolution icecream photos when you're not even an icecream shop? i don't know. i'm declaring bankruptcy to commit tax fraud. so i may not be the best person to ask. but i think this is what captain ahab hallucinated when he was hunting for moby cock. imagine you're on the ocean and the only vers bottom is fucking ishmael or whatever and you look up and see this. hovering. i'd go insane with the harpoon too

love this uncanny ice cream photo the lighting is so good love the slight glow and the green light presumably from the stand it's like an entity I thought that this was going to be one of those “iT's A pAiNtInG” posts so I was extremely delighted to learn that it was a photo photography ice cream reblogs
