My Jerms

I have to start by saying I’m not a Tyler the Creator fan. Back in 2011 or 2012 when Odd Future first dropped, I did not care much for them as a group. I think it had to do with their antics and lack of quality music. At the time I felt they were just edgy kids trying to make a name for themselves and they just so happen to make music. Thinking back on it now we were all the same age. I didn’t think their sideshow measured up to their music. Plus, I always felt like Odd Future was nothing more than edgy suburban music for kids who drove around in their parents Jeep yelling out f**k their parents. You know, the type that hated their parents but their parents got/give them everything they wanted. Nowadays that’s just hip-hop in some areas of music. Even though I was not a fan of OF I was a fan of their branding.   Photo by Dino Kuznik Early on they understood the meaning and purpose of brand identity, specially Tyler. From creative album covers, to videos and photo shoots. Even wit...

So, it has been 4 years. Within that time, a lot of things have happened. I think I can fit all that in the first paragraph. I graduated from college with a really good GPA, I got a job at a medical advertising place(if you can call it that) doing graphic design work, got laid off because of that thing they called COVID, was unemployed for a while, got a job now at a local TV station, and that’s about it(kind of). In between that just sprinkle in days and nights of sadness, loss of loved ones, depression(I guess), going to therapy, being dumped by my therapist(that’s a whole-nother story), and also moments of pure joy. Mix that all together and you’d get a normal person trying to survive and be happy in this world. In between that time, I picked up on a new/old hobby, which is film photography.     I’ve been on this film photography journey for about 2 years now and I’m in love with it. But I reached a point at the end of 2020 and the beginning of this year where I hated it. ...

Baby Driver is a great film, there is nothing else to say about it. It is about a young kid named Baby who can, for some reason NOT TRULY EXPLAINED BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE, drive like a Nascar racer that had sex with one of the drivers from The Fast and the Furious. The movie never explained it or talked about it, or maybe it did but I don’t remember, but it was one of those okay he can drive who cares type of things. I loved everything from the music, the driving, the scenery, and the cast. The movie has its ups and downs something I will talk about later. You know what, I’m trying to find a way to structure this but I am just going to flat out say that I loved this movie. This is what happens when you give a director who knows what they are doing full creative control over their vision. The music in this movie was phenomenal. The music selection fit in perfectly with the driving but also with the scenes and shots as well. Most people will look at this movie and think thi...
