Today we had a conversation about life:
About changing our once-deeply rooted ideas and becoming more open-minded to new things. About picking up new hobbies. About following your passions in life rather than solely chasing money. I think chasing money results in a mid-life crisis when you realize what you've been chasing isn't really that fulfilling after all, and then it's too late. A friend would often chime in here and say 'but it's about priorities.'
The conversation then veered to art. I divulged that art to me was creation, almost with a religious effect. Like an abstract representation of the self, loose and formless, hard to quantify. Of course it also represents communication of the mind and the ability to articulate the nuances of one's thoughts. I often question why I do art, I guess it's nice to think about it from time to time.
I relate art to evoking emotions from an audience. I think this sort of humanistic experience really teaches me about society and that's why I love photography. Another friend once told me that humans are more relatable, and I couldn't agree more. I think that's also why portrait photography is amongst the hardest.
Thus the actor must play his part: to satisfy and coerce his audience.
