“I suppose I give as much as I want to give. I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I’m myself, and if I don’t, then I give nothing.”
-PJ Harvey, 1994

About

I moved!

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

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!
