Surfing the net while listening to the Ramones.
I am a big fan of Ricky Fitts, so for today's adventure, I decided to look for screenshots from American Beauty. I found two awesome shots of Ricky's captures (yes, we're on a first name basis now).
"I was filming this dead bird... because it's beautiful." -Ricky Fitts
"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world
I feel like I can't take it...
like my heart is going to cave in." -Ricky Fitts
Such beautiful scenes, don't you agree? I want to capture simple pleasures like this...
I guess all I need now is a bagful of record tapes.
Ricky Fitts inspires.
"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing.
And there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it, right?
And this bag was just... dancing with me.
Like a little kid begging me to play with it.
For fifteen minutes.
That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things,
and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know
there was no reason to be afraid.
Ever.
Video's a poor excuse, I know.
But it helps me remember... I need to remember...
Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world
I feel like I can't take it...
and my heart is going to cave in."
