Day 116/365 - Cheers to You, Mr. Tim Burton

I watched Tim Burton's "9" today. AWESOME!!!!! i LOVED IT.

 

I think i will also go and watch his alice and wonderland remake.

 

I am of course suppose to be alice.

 

OMG the greatest thing happened to me today!!!!

Arno Rafael Minkkinen e-mailed me back!!!!!!! and actually gave me advice. <3<3<3

 

I emailed him about how to shoot his photos and how I was going to tribute him and he told me that growing is not about emulating anyone else, it is about finding what is missing and place it in there. and that ladies and gentlemen, is how you learn. and the art becomes your own. (summarized of course!)

 

my teacher was floored when I told him I emailed Mr. Minkkinen. We were only suppose to do basic research, but I really wanted to get technical about it and emailed Mr. Minkkinen about how he shot his photos. (trial and error he told me! XD) Of course, I was running a chance, I went onto his website, noticed that he didnt have anything posted after 2001, and HOPED to GOD that he wasnt dead and that his email worked, so I emailed him. and guess what a great guy he was..... HE EMAILED ME BACK in a timely fashion! within 3 hours. what a guy!

 

I am so excited, I am going to compile a good reply and send it to him tomorrow morning. I totally believe that an artist of his magnitude deserves a real email and not one "sent from my verizon wireless blackberry phone"

 

(everyone else, yeah its just convenience i still <3 you all)

 

OMG i am so happy!!
