oh, hello there.

Le Tigre’s lead JD Samsom has a really great project called MEN. This is them at SXSW back in 2010. Shot on a Holga with Kodak Portra 160VC 120, presumably with a flash filtered by a rolling paper, otherwise unedited.

//WHY PROCREATE   
AND OVERPOPULATE
THERE’S INSECURITY 
QUESTIONING OUR LIBERTY
 
I’M GONNA FUCK MY FRIENDS
I’M GONNA FUCK MY FRIENDS
I’M GONNA FUCK MY FRIENDS
TO GET A LITTLE TINY BABY

RAISE OUR KIDS
RADICAL POLITICS
SONTAG IN THE CRIB
LOOSE JOINTS LULLABY 

WE WANT SOME OPTIONS  
THERE IS A WAY
WHY DON’T YOU ADOPT 
BORROW SOMEONE’S COCK
CALL UP THE BANK 
WE ALL SCREAM NOW!

.75 cents camera shots on expired Fuji Superia Extra 400 that had been through hell and back before I rescued it. God, Texas is such a weird fucking state.

The Resemblance Between Your Life and a Dog

I never intended to have this life, believe me -
It just happened. You know how dogs turn up
At a farm, and they wag but can’t explain.

It’s good if you can accept your life - you’ll notice
Your face has become deranged trying to adjust
To it. Your face thought your life would look

Like your bedroom mirror when you were ten.
That was a clear river touched by mountain wind.
Even your parents can’t believe how much you’ve changed.

Sparrows in winter, if you’ve ever held one, all feathers,
Burst out of your hand with a fiery glee.
You see them later in hedges. Teachers praise you,

But you can’t quite get back to the winter sparrow.
Your life is a dog. He’s been hungry for miles.
Doesn’t particularly like you, but gives up, and comes in.

My sister and nephew surprised me with a visit this afternoon. Of course I had to take some photographs of the little guy. #makeshiftbeautydish

I went on a nature walk today and met the most righteous Terrapene carolina. The little guy was munching on some blades of fresh, spring grass in a the middle of a Virginian Bluebell (Mertensia virginica) patch. He was so content as I sat there with him for a moment before taking his picture and bidding farewell. I thought of the Einstein quote:

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

Albert Einstein was a true sage.

it is spring.

Where ever I go in a 1000 towns, I know who I can count on,
my shadow.

Whatever I learn by the end of the day, I know who I can turn to,

my shadow.

Whatever I read into a masterpiece, the last of a dead breed.

Bitter for sweet I am not complete witihout you here to haunt me,

my shadow.

Shadow, I will count to 3, any fool can see you belong to me,

shadow.

Any fool can hope, any fool can love, it is not enough,

shadow.

Shadow lets just close our eyes, on the count of 10, lets start over again

Shadow I will count to 3. Any fool can see you belong to me.

Shadow, any fool can hope, any fool can love, it is not enough, shadow.

Where ever I go at the end of the day, I know who I can turn too.
