Experiments. Three dimensional views. Escher (again) and/or/slash Pablo P. The silos by the shipyard, early in the morning. There are infinite ways of looking at something. A pause between what you see and what you understand. Constructing new realities. Thanks Baudrillard. Post-structural(ism) indeed. End of year. A full stop. Aych-ee-el-pee (exclamation).
Can you remember a time when this city was/A great place for architects and dilettantes/A nice place for midwives and crossing guards/And on, and on...Hold on children [Death From Above 1979]. Brother, you keep me smiling. X
...Sanity is a place most never see -- many, many consecutive nights of waving flags and drinking gin or whiskey and then finally friday, although friday could have been wednesday or monday or sunday. Van Coke Kartel at Zula..waiting til the soccer finished then til midnight so we could (flash)dance. A semi-acoustic set, England supporters curtaining the stage with a huge Templar-cross banner. It was fun, but the air was heavy, voices hoarse, limbs weary - the world cup draining the spirit(s) from every night and day and day and night. And so, on til Saturday (or Monday? Or die laaste sondag, voor ons stof word?), and then another week and another after that ad infinitum. Te veel dae sonder slaap/ Soek vir 'n nuwwe perspektief. Indeed.
Back when my hair was black. And it was July winter. Now again. So there are some old, some new. Friends, musicians, relatives etc. Random compilation. Snapshot album one.
Brother making faces and one where he looked away. I left out the others. Quite disturbing really. Below: VanFokKingTasties 2009. Woodpanel colours.
A few weeks ago in June on a hilltop. The wrong house: cars on bricks, a flashback to Jeffrey's Bay crazed dog woman. Sitting in the car, watching the mist. "Let me just test this flash in the car...", "Testing..testing..say something..Naar. Great. I think I deleted that. Oh no..wait.." Wondering if draincleaner could substitute as alcohol if the worst came to the worst. And in between a picture of one-time Jesus, in a long, plastic hallway (?). And/Or Matt Berry.
"If there is another photographer I'm not taking pictures." When did any of our statements hold true? Here's to another July and twelve months of snapshot-times in between.
