Some Bridge, eh?

I decided to break up the pictures into different classifications for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yesterday was black and white, today is the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Tomorrow will be color abstracts. It was simply a way of organizing them, but I hope you enjoy them!

The Great Gatsby: An opinion on the book and the movie

If you have ever read the book and seen the movie you may or may not agree with me. But my opinion is that Great Gatsby the movie was a little better than mediocre. It did not meet any of the conceptions I had formed in my head, as far as a visual interpretation of this American Classic. Paul Rudd plays a great Nick Carraway, but otherwise it was an utter disappointment. Meyer Wolfsheim did not meet the description of the book and his visual representation and actions were considerably mellowed out, compared to the novel. Nick's abode hardly meets what I viewed as his living arrangements. What also adds to my grim opinion of this movie is the actress who plays Myrtle. She is nothing compared to the character described in the novel, she is hardly the vibrant and voluptuous woman that the book made her out to be. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite novels, but the movie is far from it.
