theres something about letting go of my egocentric thoughts for just a minute and becoming a gentle observer to the world around me that makes me feel human. being able to shift my focus outside of myself and appreciate a single shot as it is makes me feel like life is really worth living!

My mom makes fun of me for this, but I actually think it’s a lovely way to live in the moment when you’re with friends!!! No retakes, no fixating on perfection. Plus when you look back on them you get to be like “oh yeah!! I remember taking that pic!!!” The lack of instant gratification is good for my overanalyzing 💕

Rant incoming: we need to place more value on printed photography rather than treating photographs merely as objects of our brief attention. I can physically feel a need for this. A real object of memory that we can hold and keep and watch fade. A piece of art on your wall to look at every day that reminds you of another time, a place you’ve been, a person you’ve been, how you felt. I’m so glad that film photography still exists, and that people actually care here. It scares me to think that it might not one day, and that my kids might not be able to experience the pure joy and magic of shooting film.
It also scares me to look at photography’s place in the commercial art world, and how devalued it is in the past couple years. I know a big reason for this is obviously that they can be reproduced, but I also think a lot of people don’t see the value in photography anymore. after IG became a mall. we should all be buying prints. If everyone was buying prints, the economy would probably be way better and then the film industry would be saved and photographers could live ❤️
I reserve the right to edit this post when I’m not stoned anymore
One more thing: the minute i started thinking about photography less like journaism and more like painting i felt so much better about everything. it just made sense finally. Idk how to explain it. It doesnt have to be fast. it doesn’t even have to make sense.

its my favorite album of all time. by the time he made in utero, he had already defined his style and really settled into his sound thru bleach and nevermind, but what makes this album the best of nirvana is his return to the punk roots that brought him to the scene to begin with.

being a little kid in the 2000s, listening to adam f, entranced by the jason brook's artstyle on the covers of hed kandi. isnt it insane that we live in a universe that has existed for 13.8 billion years and i get to exist as the ideal arrangement of atoms, at the ideal time, to be able to experience house music?
