Truman Capote

I have RELOCATED and will be deleting this post soon! All posts have been reposted on my new tumblr and you can find these posts there.

“Did you ever, in that wonderland wilderness of adolescence, ever, quite unexpectedly, see something, a dusk sky, a wild bird, a landscape so exquisite terror touched you at the bone? And you are afraid, terribly afraid the smallest movement, a leaf, say, turning in the wind, will shatter all? That is, I think, the way love is, or should be: one lives in beautiful terror.”

-Truman Capote

About

I moved!

Short version: photos + quotes.
Long version: start scrolling...

(email: photaquota at gmail dot com)

Photos tagged ephemera, unless otherwise noted, are from my collection of VINTAGE EPHEMERA: photos, letters, books + magazines from the 1800s - 1980s. I scan images + Photoshop color to match the source material. My goal is a virtual library of aging media, not to show you that I know how filters work.

PHOTOS I love feature: beautiful / sexy /interesting faces + bodies, vivid colors, black + white + gray, unconventional everything, diagrams, anatomy, queer culture, genderbending, fashion of all kinds from all times: street fashion, haute couture, avant garde fashion photography (accepting the absurdity of trying to define "avant garde" in the first place). Also: patterns, textures, icons + iconography, film stills, unusual animals, architecture, the urban + the rural, the natural world + the unnatural world, homes (interiors + exteriors), jewelry, ingenious DIY creations, sculpture, paintings, illustrations, found object art + so on.

I am a collector of QUOTES from: iconic figures, movies, books (fiction + non-fiction), television, speeches, interviews, articles, op-eds, plays, quotes about writing, about processes, about the way artists think, the way things work, etc. I keep a notebook with me at all times, I revere the notebook, I recommend them to anyone, to everyone, if you are 14 or 40, if you have every technological device known to man, I'm telling you babylove, dollface, kumquat: You. Need. A. Notebook.

HEY I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THAT IS FROM / HEY YOU ARE WRONG HAHAHA!: I post any identifying info that I have. Additional info +/or corrections are welcomed + appreciated.
HEY THAT'S MINE! I FEEL VIOLATED!: I didn't take these photos + it is not my intent to misrepresent them as such. I add as much credit as I can which means omitted info is info I don't have. If you are the author of the content in a post + want that post removed, I'll remove it. If adding additional credit means it can stay, please just let me know how to credit you. Thank you!
