I've been thinking of creating a Tumblr account for a while now. My friend suggested the thing when I told him he was already famous on the site (among poets and literature peeps) and he is. He suggested that I'd get better reach when it came to audience. Though, I thought, I have all the audience I need in this personal space.
Tumblr has a certain thing for anonymity. The mysterious and the hidden at the same time being exposed and extroverted. Everything is projected outward but with a black strip to mask identities. Clayton Cubitt is not one of those fellas on Tumblr.
He puts out, not in the perverse way. His photographs show just that and his head on approach to the usual secrets in the real world. Gritty, dirty, flashy, real, rigid and starkly familiar. You can say that it's a bit hipster, meh, everyone has his two cents about everything.
I've been following his work for more than 5 months now. And I can say that I highly enjoy his works and his class. Dirty classy.
I especially like the way he connects his photographs with quotations from people I haven't even heard of. It is a diverse collective. His photographs look larger than life but occur within the dimensions as they do.
You're a bad (?) influence! Mas okay ifollow tong si Clayton Cubitt kumpara sa iba sa blogosphere. Haha.
ReplyDeleteSa pamantayan na naset ni Clayton Cubitt, parang magiging isnab nako sa ibang entities dito sa blogosphere. Nakakatawa kung paanong parang larger than life yung mga photographs niya pero lapat pa rin sa buhay.
Sa pagta-tumblr, inisip ko siya noon. Mas malawak nga ang audience kaya lang Tagalog pangunahing platform ko kaya hindi ko talaga kelangan. Ikaw ser, kung ano man social shiz ang pasukin mo, palagay ko dadami ng dadami followers mo.
sang ayon ako sayo, ginoo.
Deletemas okay ngang sundan ang mga likha ni ginoong cubitt kaysa ibang mga manunulat dito sa blogospero. para sakin, kakaiba pero pamilyar ang istilo ni clayton cubitt. nakakaaliw at nakakapagpaisip.
ser, too much praises na naman. sa tingin ko lang, mas epektibo kang manunulat kumpara sa akin. mas marami ang nakakarelate sa mga akda at ideya mo.
madami ang nagbabasa ng pocketbook pero hindi ko siya makonsidera na literatura.
Deleteyung estilo mo ser, ang ideya, yan ang mga nananalo sa palanca. magjoin ka ba this year?
touche pero hindi naman pocketbook entries ang ginagawa mo. literatura pa rin yang maituturing, ginoo.
Deletehindi pa siguro ser. ni hindi nga ako mapublish sa young blood hahaha
hindi lahat ng nasa young blood, trip ko. masyadong konserbatibo at kulang sa pangil yung ilang nabasa ko. haha.
Deletepangil, natuwa ako sa salitang yun.
