I’m still trying to attach Spielberg as the director for it but we’ll see.

Trilogies are psychologically satisfying. They are the basic building blocks to any good story.

Beginning, middle and end. Exciting introduction, obstacle, resolution.

You could condense a movie trilogy’s story structure into a single movie as long as you keep its three act structure and it wouldn’t lose anything except the extensive details that allow Hollywood to milk as much money out of a franchise as they possibly can. But money aside, the three act structure is as old as time. Ok the Greeks came up with it but whatever. Go read up on Aristotle

Here’s the story arc to my little adventure:

Act 1, I received my new monitor and started setting it up. Exciting Introduction!

Act 2, I found out it was defective. Obstacle! RAWR!!

Act 3, I received an email from HP saying they’d send a replacement. Resolution!

Ball’s in your court Mr. Spielberg! I envision a $700 million budget with me in the lead role. I’ve instructed my imaginary agent to ask for $699 million of that. Good luck making a movie for a million bucks.

Day 270/365

After a tiring downtown shoot, I went up to Ensign Peak to relax and enjoy the view. I only managed 2 shots with my iPhone before I was caught.

I really love this shot. Anonymous, natural and best of all, peaceful (iPhone photo)

Day 272/365

I actually shot maternity pictures that day, but the subject insisted I didn’t post any pictures online. Oh well. Lightpost in a parking lot (iPhone photo)
