yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon

everything in its right place.

there is a feeling that derives from compositional perfection. like when taking a picture, i wait until the scene clicks. i don't know how to explain this, i just really wanted to write about it. i'm gonna try not to sound too art freaky. but i can be looking through the viewfinder of my camera and making small adjustments to the frame until boom. it feels right. like good composition produces an actual feeling in a person. bad composition makes a person feel awkward when they look at the work. but solid composition is pleasing to the eye in a way that most people don't even realize. they may not know why they like what they're looking at so much. but it's because the scene is compositionally brilliant. and that is amazing to me. just because of how something is juxtaposed in a frame. it produces an actual feeling. so crazy. art makes you feel. i mean subject and concept produces an obvious feeling. but even just the composition invokes a feeling in the receiver. crazy.

i think the same thing applies to music. i watched this interview with katy perry on youtube. i know i know. judge me. but i like her. and she was talking about the song teenage dream. and how they wrote and rewrote and tweaked that song so many times until it finally clicked. and i'll tell you that song makes you feel something. aside from the lyrics. because it's katy perry. they suck. but the way all the aspects of that song come together create something compositionally brilliant. i find bon iver to be a composition master. makes you feel something. which is the goal of any art form. music. photography. painting. dance. anything.

there is nothing like perfect life composition. when you look around and think nothing could be better than the way everything is right then. this happens to me a lot of mornings. after i read and step outside on my way to class. the way it feels, looks, and smells outside. even if nothing is actually happening, i'm just standing outside in the morning. it just clicks like man, it's all good. i also get this feeling a lot at night when i first lay down. maybe it's just when i'm in the right mindset with the lord. i appreciate all of his glory on earth after i've just spent time with him. and the combination of good things he's given us makes me feel. this whole entire post might make no sense. i just love brilliant composition.
