Almost there…
One last day of Cali to write up. I had such an amazing time in California, and certain places had the same vibe as Glasgow for me. Hard to explain other than it just clicked more than visiting other places. There were places I’d love to live at some point, rather than just visit once.
I picked up a copy of Coilhouse purely by chance. My mother wanted some magazines to read while waiting in the airport to go home. Loved it. It’s simply an awesome magazine, and another good reason why print isn’t dead at all thankyouverymuch. The whole thing made me yearn to do more things. More weird things. Oddly, I was flipping through the small ads up front, and saw an ad for someone who used to live with a good friend of mine. Which cemented the longing into a need to do things that were my personal brand of odd.
So as I’m slowly (as always) sifting through the pictures I took I’m saving some of them to the side. They’re different in tone from my usual stuff. They’re more manipulated, and I’m more interested in the feeling from them, rather than pretty documentarian pictures that I tend to create more in bulk. It’s a step in the right direction, but is it a big enough one?
Age old dilemma then: how do you take all the things you love, and turn them into the thing that you do?
