I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

Cannonball!
I saw this assignment and thought of those old cartoons where the characters try to outrun a rolling boulder. But The Breeders are cooler. The problem was that the ball is rolling away from the camera. So I took 13 frames of … Continue reading
