Okay so I'm sorry i haven't posted any photos all summer long but I've been on tour and I can't do everything at once. I've been Floating, drifting on the air-conditioned wind/And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in. (Joni Mitchell/The Jungle Line). I haven't been taking many photos, especially here in LA, where all the lame paparazzi are always falling all over themselves trying to take a lame photograph of a lame celebrity. The idiocracy feeding off the idiocracy. It's too banal. It makes you want to smash your own camera in protest. But just to prove I've actually been working it, I'll show ya what I got.

Summer and Smoke Up Your Ass

Hey
I'm Sophie, from Argentina.
A couple of months ago, i saw your movie, Otto or up with dead people, on a film festival here in Buenos Aires. I loved it. But i thought i would have the pleasure to say it to you personally, bacause there where many directors presenting their movies, and it was quite disapointing. I have to say, i was hoping that i would have a picture with you right now... Anyway, my english is limitated, and i have even practiced what i would like to say to you if i ever have you in front of me. Basically: i admire you in many ways. I remember listening to myself repeating in silence in my head, on the way to the theatre "i want you to know, from someone who really means it, that you affect people"
I'm studying photography now, and as crazy as it seams to me, my main goal, is to affect people in the same level that you do.
I would be doing something really different from you, but if i ever find out that someone feels half as affected by my pictures, as i do by yours, i would know i'm doing the right thing.
Thank you for the minutes that took you to read this; and for teaching me about art, photography and feelings. If it wasn't your intention, at least is always good to know the effects of what we do as artists.
