moving to @agnesvarda

Hi everyone, I’m very thankful for all the help I received this week with my new blog since tumblr staff terminated my prev blog. Today they did the same with this blog (irenejacob) but I sent them a e-mail and they read it as I can see, because now I have my blogs back. 

I’m gonna keep using my other blog, @agnesvarda. I found some cool blogs I wasn’t follow before, so I’m gonna try to re-follow all of you. Thanks again for helping me.

“For me, the camera is like another character, so I cannot put it in the place of somebody who’s already in the film. For that reason, I place my character in a position where realistically a person could be. For example, if I’m shooting a car, I would never place it on the front part of the car, because that’s not where a person could be. I always put it inside the car. In this specific film, sometimes I have to put it outside of the car because it just doesn’t fit… but the feeling you have is that it’s inside the car. I believe my way of placing the camera shapes the film a lot. Whether you like it or not, you always have the feeling as a spectator that you are part of the action. And that’s the same reason that I don’t use establishing shots or transition shots. I find that they are very anonymous devices. I like to think that the camera is actually somebody who is physically there, like a creature, and it’s somebody who is very curious, with no moral judgment. Somebody who is not scandalized by what they see.”

“It’s said that in the beginning was the word, but for me the beginning is always an image. When I think about a conversation, it always starts with images. And what I love about photography is the inscription of a single moment: it’s completely ephemeral. You take the photograph, and one second later, everything has changed.” – Abbas Kiarostami
