RUN WITH THE LOLS

When I want to LOL like a freak but I can’t be arsed writing anything, I run with the pictures.

 

THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS

TAKING A TRIP TO THE WILD SIDE

This one time, I had to take a trip to a whole different kind of neighbourhood.

Feeling a bit apprehensive, but keeping in mind that without photos, nothing ever really happened, I got my camera out and started getting a few shots.

Even the cars were from a different era, not of this century at all, probably more like what people have in Cuba.

And there were uniformed fascists intimidating people in the streets.

But the thing that stood out to me the most was the expressions on the faces of the people in the streets – abject fear, and complete submission to totalitarian oppression.

To better capture the atmosphere, I got out my black and white camera that doesn’t focus properly and started taking some grainy photo realist shots.

Thankfully my bus soon arrived and I was able to go back to my own hood, where even the people begging outside the supermarket are able to regularly check the text messages on their smart phones, and the cars all have reliable air conditioning.

STRANGER STALKING

For some reason I have a fetish for taking photos of strangers.

I lurk about with my camera waiting to get a snap of them. And then I post their pics online and hopefully my unwitting victims never know! Here are some lucky strangers that caught my eye.

(I like my strangers in a Polaroid style)

IMAGINE IF THE DARWIN AWARDS BECAME AN ANALOGY FOR LIFE

Maybe we are becoming stupider by the day, but we haven’t noticed yet? Probably best not to contemplate that – it might make us paranoid.
