the Indie Armchair Theatre

Archiving, trying to make sense of rolls and rolls of film, I found some really old photographs.
Now I realise, that If we ever do travel through time, all we would end up doing is smell nostalgia....

The Indie Armchair Theatre has been officially close for just under 1 year now (exception for the once a year obz fest). And wow, what awesome memories I have their. We have their. At the Armchair Theatre, the last show I went to was Lark and Kid of Doom (+ someone else) unplugged. Amazing, drilled in my brain never to be experienced again. Im so glad I took photographs. From all the way back in January 2008 I never thought I would ever be so happy to take snaps. Looking back I wouldn't change a thing.

the City vs Captivity

I think (and feel) that if you enjoy photography, you automatically love the city more. This assumption excludes landscape and macro photographers though. But yes, the city holds a greater chance of "something happening". And if something supernaturally amazing doesn't happen, you're bound to observe someone doing something that makes you smile.

Like an in-love couple at a coffee shop, a bunch of super excited girls in a thrift store or a 70 year old walking a dog.

Anyway, I recently spent some time in the forest. It was great , but, it lacked something. Connection and conversation may be. I did enjoy the trip though, but returning home and seeing people that i've never heard of before made me glad to to be human amongst humans. I don't think I would ever live somewhere completely isolated from people, because, what is the point of freedom if you are eternally free.

Ben Gibbard says it best..."it isnt a party if it happens every night"

Happy New Year

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
How was your night? Hope it was rad. Mine was amazing.

Superhero costume party in which majority of the people were not superheroes. instead, random cartoon heroes and famous protagonists...from Lara Craft to Princess Amidala to raver boy? Spent some quality time with polaroids. Polas are always a crowd pleaser. I love the way they develop themselves, and so does everyone else. Everyone gathers around to experience a chemical reaction which records a moment....its beautiful *tear*

Danced the night away with Ilford Delta 3200, so, im very excited to see how those frames turned out. fast film is friendly and so is the fancy footwork.

Enjoyed a sunrise amongst friends, laying in circular formation, on a trampoline gazing at the sky in conversation. It was perfect.
Hope you had a great 31 December. Happy New year!
