I used to be a movie freak.  I loved movies.  I mean I still love really good movies, like real classics, but I don’t like movies these days.  I guess that sounds kind of snobby or stupid, but when I go to the movies, it is usually to see some movies with other people.

I have two favorite movies of all time.  One is A Room with a View and the other is the Queen.  I’m also quite a fan of Scandinavian cinema, like Lars Von Trier and Ingmar Bergman.  I mean Ingmar’s old black and white work and Lars, when his work was slightly less disturbing and weird than it is now.

I do find it curious though that so many of my photos end up looking like movie stills, being that I am not a huge movie person.

Like does this not look like an establishing shot from some kind of Scandinavian movie?:

And then I guess this could be the end of the hypothetical Scandinavian movie that involves shadows and beaches:

And then this big fire ball eats us all:
