"Read, watch, be curious." Urbanautica with Vincent Delbrouck



I was drawn to this blog post because of the dino-looking tree. I enjoyed this photograph because the whimsical shape of the tree set against the majestic background of the mountains reminds me that we should never take ourselves too seriously (Worth noting-the mountains in the background are the famous Himalayans). 

I appreciate the posts on Urbanautica because, like this post, they are longer and contain quite a bit of original content compared to some of the other websites I have viewed for this class. This article, specifically, is an interview with photographer Vincent Delbrouck, and covers his photographic style, his camera preference, and the fact that he has other jobs to support his photographic passion (among other things).

Delbrouck's interview combined quite a bit of philosophy, pragmatic suggestions, and personal reasonings in his responses, which made it an insightful read. So often, our lives are more than just a single facet for which we are known, but are a deeply intertwined collaboration of everything we have and ever will be a part of. I felt that Delbrouck's interview exemplified this idea, for his answers often contained more information than was asked for by the interviewer. One of the best parts of the interview is the end where Delbrouck lists some of his favorite photographers. I plan to look over them to continue my exposure to photography.
