cornered

I've been on a blurry portrait run lately.
I particularly love this framing.



But who can resist those crisp, clean angles and deep contrasts
of film noir?

Its what I turn to when I run through a list of duds and disappointments,
experiments that go nowhere, pictures made by innovators past their prime.



Nowhere near feeling like a human punching bag
or throwing myself under a bus,
but it's a nice visual link.

The Set-Up (1949)
directed by Robert Wise
