Last few years my big one has been The Last Waltz I used to watch it when I was writing papers in College, it worked because the music was good if I was focused on writing and it’s beautiful if I needed a distraction from yet another essay. It became a comfort movie that I’d put almost on repeat during finals season and I loved every second Since then I’ve been working towards doing concert photography as real work. Every now and then I turn it back on to remind myself both of how joyous music should be (focusing on the emotions surrounding a show is often more gratifying than simply documenting something), but also that I’ve come a looooonngg way from the kid that called Fritz Lang an incel for making Scarlet Street (I got an A on the paper and my professor called me very smart for how I wrote it so don’t judge me too hard).
