EDITING PT. 15: the magnetic walls are creeping in...

this is getting repetitive.. fun, yet repetitive..
i guess that's editing - not the most interesting subject to blog - and so today i snapped on the mobile phone which alex kindly gave me.

it has a zeiss tessar f2.8 lens, although you would'nt guess it from the fots.
the sensor must be crap...
anyway - this morning i said goodbye to tor capa and bea before heading into collage.. he's not always cross-eyed.. just in the morning, like pappa.

..tucked into a coffee when i got there..

...and then occupied an empty classroom to take possession of the magnetic whiteboard..

6 hours, one chicken salad, a strawberry milkshake, some radiohead and too many smokes later things began falling into place, (note the rows)..


today darragh commented under my last blog post that perhaps i could combine the new title idea for the book, 'wasted', with the old working title, 'decade'.. making either,
'wasted decade'
or
'a decade wasted'.
which i certainly was.. big props to you darragh.. very welcome contribution.. buy you a beer in london next month..


i quite like the irony of 'wasted' because in fact most of the people photographed were having the time of their lives.. living more than perhaps they will again..
some of the parties had such solid intentions.. n. ireland.. serbia.. croatia.. argentina.. canada.. that they could not be called a waste, and yet thats the self imposed term most would apply to themselves at gigs..
it would also be a proper use of the word 'irony', which i've always wanted to do..

up-and-in at 8.30am tomorrow for more of the same before teaching at 11.30...
i'll probably change everything i did today and go for a cheese n ham salad instead.
