Fiction

My friend George invited me to Catalina with a group of his friends when I first moved to LA. I took mushrooms and overexposed these photos before hiking up the nearest peak alone. I sat on some rocks looking out at the ocean, the afternoon sun sparkling off the waves, not a cloud in the sky. I remember thinking about how far I was from my family and friends, and about what I had left behind in Toronto. I thought about the things that had yet to happen to me, and what it was exactly that I hoped to find in California. #film #photography

I’m not sure what kind of cloud this is specifically, but it was a cloud that appears on one of those sticky hot evenings in the south. Where the sky becomes turbulent and weighed down heavy with the coming rains, and the air thickens all around you with a deep sweetness. So sweet that you suddenly understand why Jazz was born here, and why Tennessee Williams wrote the way he did. So thick that it feels like you might drink in the last golden rays of light, if only you could. At least that’s how this cloud made me feel about things that evening. #kodak #portra #film #travel #photography
A young father and his little girl pass me as I stoop to take this photo in a dirty parking garage somewhere in Louisiana. I hear the girl whisper to her father, “Why is that man taking a picture of the ground?”, her father replies, “Sweetie, that’s what they call a hipster. Never date one of them baby.” I smile at them as they pass. Their footsteps echo into the distance as the whirring of my camera rewinding the film roll comes to an end. And I realize that I am alone. #film #art #35mm #kodak #hipster #fuck
Grateful for the desert and for narrowly avoiding the roving bands of fedora clad Free People people shooting a “boho but not boho” look book in “J-Tree”. By nightfall a great stillness settled over the desert; the LA crowd slithered back towards the coast, the stars came out, and I thought long and hard about Bono and LSD. About how much I dislike one and love the other.
No filter, just LA
Along for the ride. #photography #sony #digital #not #film
