A part-time account planner and a part-time musician, a part-time thinker and a full-time hedonist. Ryo is the name, and I've set up this blog as a way to sip on my tea, play with my cat while exploring the ideas, passion, and personalities behind creative expression in art, music, photography and advertising.

I believe in the creativity behind the creativity, and I strive to make this an informal, yet informative space where I share some of my recent inspirations for the (VERY) personal aim of becoming more aware, and thus become more spongely absorbent of those ideas that seep deep into my own psyche..

Awareness? Psyche? Chihua-WHAA??

When you encounter something great, you just go DAMN. When you delve a bit deeper, you start seeing the little pieces, the elements: the leaves, the branches and the root. The posts here are simply little notes of these elements, which I write and return to to develop a clearer vision on how I could further evolve as a creatively conscious being.

If in the process, any of the posts here provoke some thoughts into the creative community of tumblr-ers/any of you forward-thinking artists or "art prosumers", that would be high-five-worthily fantastic!

You can learn more about this project here.

I open the shutter when the movie begins, when the title shows up. Then I just leave the camera open for two, three hours - whatever the length of the movie is. When the ending credit shows up, I just close the shutter. So I photograph the entire movie images. When I process the film no images from the movie show, just showing a white light left on the screen. Interiors of the theatre shows, reflecting the white light coming out from the screen. The people who were in the theatre all disappear receiving this radiant white light from the screen, which means I probably want to say too much information ends up in nothingness. How do you show the nothingness, emptiness? You have to have something surrounding the nothingness. In this case, the movie theatre is the “case” that holds this emptiness.
