"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers...also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls...but the only thing that worried me was the ether. There was nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge..."

warhol star


Dreams are places where only some dare to explore. Risks are abundant and heartbreak is notoriously prevalent. Kids walk down cracked streets, subconciously letting the artificial street lights guide them along a rugged path. The dark patches are dismal and we get lost often. Take a photograph of something beautiful and let it be your inspiration. No need to edit away the flaws when we have adventure like this. And if one day the dream gets pushed aside with all of the other lost causes, we will have had the pictures to prove we once were alive.

This is an edited picture that my friend took of me last summer (unedited version was already posted). I have a little too much fun with Rollip and other photo-editing software. It reminds me of an Andy Warhol print - must be the blurry, undefined lines and shadows. Hopefully getting a polaroid camera this weekend. I'd rather move backwards in terms of technology because it seems that all the cool products lived in the past.
