First off, Julian Casablancas’ single, so goooood. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a Strokes obsessive (mind you, the first two albums for the most part), but Julian’s stuff is fresh and proper for now. Though I’m afraid the content is predictably about the tribulations of youth, oof. Separate from my favouritism, please, when I’m thirty or so, married, remind me to never write about the troubles I had when I was 20 and struggling to find a direction and all that bullshit. But I guess I can forgive, if only for the way the material is presented.Which is wellll.

I’ve been thinking about my photography, since I’m doing a sweep up of my Flickr and working on a photo job (editing and interviewing). In comparison to other people I don’t think I’m a very avid photographer. I take forever to finish a roll, simply because I hate wasting film on the same shot. Reason why I’m completely nonplussed when I’m forced to use a Digital Slr, why the fuck do I need to take five shots of the same thing. Why people do that with film is beyond me as well (I’m not made of money and the world is definitely no longer made of film). I don’t really bring my camera everywhere with me because most of the time I know nothing will be something I distinctly want to remember. I don’t need to remember the banality of my day to day life, that time I went to this or that party, I like to take photos when there are certain events, like the average person. Friends going away, trips, firsts and lasts, progression, though I do have my camera most of the time, it’s rare that I shell it out.

(one of the shots i’m not putting in for this job, but i love it anyway, whatta babe)
