Symbolism in 'that scene' with Firecracker and Homelander
In todays episode I deconstruct a moment from the last episode of The Boys that got a lot of attention... but not for the reasons I will outline in this video.
It's 'that' scene with Firecracker and Homelander from Season 4, Episode 6.
I deconstruct the symbolism behind a number of elements with an impeccably composed shot.
Kudos to Director Karen Gaviola and Cinematographer Jonathan Cliff!
There's more to this scene than simply the nourishing of Homelander. Let me nourish your mind with my creamy insightfulness!

      At least you have established some scanning capability. In addition to monitoring eBay, perhaps an appeal on behalf of the school might unearth some holders (& possibly backup Mac computers running old OS just in case!). They were ridiculously expensive to buy at the time. A complex design with the spring steel & rubberised magnetic material. Plymouth Uni had some 646s I think a year ago & they were about to switch to digital scanning with Fuji GFXs, so perhaps Higher Education might be a fruitful source of holders & other resources? It was the colour depth (dynamic range) of the Imacons coupled with that superb Rodenstock lens which made their scans sing.

    Great vid! Not been to Tintagel but it reminded me slightly of Glasto and Boscastle. Visited Boscastle very briefly on way home from Rock last year and it was beautiful. Had a very cool Museum of Witchcraft/ Magic with amazing exhibits. Not sure if there's links to Arthurian legend there but a quick Google alleges "The dramatic harbour village is one of several places cited as the place Arthur's body was taken after the Battle of Camlann. From here he was transported across the water to the mythical island of Avalon." If I had a cool cadaver to take around towns of the UK I'd make sure it paid a visit to Boscastle before laying it to rest. Like the idea of triplets in the project. Look forward to seeing further shiz 👌

I think with the close up portrait, the second one is slightly off centre, like he has paused his journey and has taken a moment to size you up and decide what to do with you, before he continues on. By being straight on we block him and his expression doesn't relate to that in the broader context.

    probably a stupid question, but i have been thinking about this for a while: would it make sense to make a small zine consisting only of darkroom prints?(so literally, the photosensitive paper that you print on using the negative) it would definitely cost a lot, but it would make each zine unique in a way. Also, it would be a great way to highlight your darkroom skills(if you have any).. I was also thinking that one Zine consisting of one photo that was printed in the darkroom in different ways to convey different meanings/feelings would be so cool.. i wonder if this has been done before, because it sounds very obvious..

    Hello again. I wonder how helpful it was that Roland has a benign appearance/persona, which probably led to people underestimating him until they become more familiar with his being in the area. Interesting to hear him questioning his ethics about the pictures he took, which doesn't appear on the radar of some photographers, and that translated into the compassion clearly on view in his images - the dps of the funeral for example. The photographs taken by, Jacob Holdt, in his book 'American Pictures' came to mind while looking at Roland's images. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Hi Edward. When you talk to people on the street you experience, 'the kindness of strangers' and those encounters are priceless. Paul Bence understands that and his images reflect his empathy as a result. I am wondering if the copy of his book we saw on the video was a dummy issue or final production copy? I ask because it did not have his name on the cover or text on the back about him and the contents, the details only being on the spine are not enough. A good first interview on your part.

      Thanks Colin, yep that's the cover as it is. He worked with a designer and thats how they made it. I started out doing documentary street portraiture, that's how I made the jump from indoctrinated fine art photography degree student to reportage. I love the real world it's beyond my imagination.

    Jojo did an amazing job and you are right, the vibe and people staying somewhat in character brings a phenomenally hard to explain photograph that everyone can enjoy. The fallout universe in interesting and wacky, these photos show off how people playing the games imagine the world they are immersing themselves in and to finally see props/items/people in the context like Jojo was really in the world is so surreal and fascinating. Every image she shot looks unique and perfect utilizing film, it's incredibly hard to explain but the vibe and methods are just perfectly complementary to eachother.

    Me and my photo collective just arranged a street photo festival here in Oslo this weekend. I've been thinking for a long time to make a photo book and zine festival/fair, where people can promote and/or sell their zines or books. And, at the same time, as we noticed people said during the festival, make a space for people to show their work and meet outside the algorithmic confines of social media.

    • @PicturesOnMyMind
      @PicturesOnMyMind Месяц назад

      Its a great move. Really helpful to do as books are heavy to post and people can get them without shipping costs. There were about 70 tables at ABBF. I shared a table with a friend though as we got to tag out for food/beer and I could peel off to do interviews etc it was also cheaper! I think £150 for a table for 3 days was fair. Maybe for a weekend you could charge £100? Its a good way to raise some funds to support the photo festival and for publishers / self-publishers to sell books.

      Yeah it's a little bit of a trek there though isn't it! Which photo book fairs are there and how much to get a table? That's a really important factor because if it's too much it almost makes it impossible to make any profit.

    Mr. Thompson, a moment ago I subscribed to your channel. Talk to your fellow Londoners of a certain age and they will confirm that a magazine called Nova existed in 1969. During that year, Diane Arbus visited the U.K. beach town of Brighton. She photographed young tough guys in a motorcycle gang, and their girlfriends. The September 1969 edition of Nova has these photos. The English motorcyclists and their girlfriends expose their deep insecurities, as is the case with Diane’s photos of Americans. I have seen the small reproductions of her Brighton photos as they appear in the Arbus estate’s Magazine Work book. Occasionally I search Ebay for an original copy of Nova’s September 1969 edition, but every reference to a copy says it has been sold. Ebay search results have said “sold” for the entire five years that I have searched for the Nova treasure. Its reproductions of the Brighton photos are much bigger than Magazine Work book reproductions.

    I never liked any of that superhero garbage for illiterates but this movie stood up. Worth spending more than 15 minutes unlike every single other of them. Characters were actually rather human than flat grotesque, alternative history not puke annoying, sad and irritating like those by Q Americano Imbecilino and the artistry of imaging obvious and actually pretty decent. Even if born in company of many bastards it does stands out from 99% average.

      I think the story was that Amazon put out the straight scans before she had a chance to do any post on them. I still dig them and for me it would have been a dream assignment. Thankfully, in the autumn of my years, I am able to celebrate others photographic successes.
