Creating and regularly updating this blog was originally supposed to be a New Year’s resolution, but seeing that I am now more than a full month late in getting started I’m just going to consider it one more aspect of my already behind schedule life. With the bar now set low for my own expectations, we’ll get down to business. It is my hope that this blog will explore various aspects of popular culture, but retain a personal connectivity to my own experience. I toyed with the idea of creating a manifesto for this blog so that I could make a statement of intent and design a loose set of parameters for my own blogging purposes. I currently have the manifesto of the German Expressionist movement Die Brücke taped to my bedroom door which has given me a lot of inspiration, but at the same time I hope for this blog to evolve and maybe become something entirely different from whatever I would have originally designed for it in a manifesto. I know this sounds like a cop out, and maybe it is, we’ll see.
I realize that in naming my blog “the f/stop” its possible I have wrongly raised the hopes of those searching for photography/filmmaking advice. Allow me to vindicate my self in saying that I am film student and that I was merely looking for something to identify my interest in film production with a the larger category of film and pop-culture. To that end, I view “the f/stop” less as a thing and more of a place, a place to stop and learn a thing or two about pop-culture, music, film, TV and video games. That being said, please note that I will not ever claim to be an expert in any area of which I post.
