The Illiterate

I would like to say just for the record that I am already sick to death of tilt-shift photography and movies (the latest offender to catch my eye is here). Like everybody else, I thought it was cool at first, but there’s too much of it now, and to my way of thinking, by making the world look like a toy or a Lego village or the set of an episode of Thunderbirds, it folds in too neatly with the cutesy, infantile attitude that infects much of current pop culture. It’s a neat technique, and I’m sure somebody somewhere is making art with it, but if they are I haven’t seen it.
