freeze
via acb the other day, I finally got around to poking through ziboy's very nice photos, mostly of people. Personally, I find it hard to take pictures of other people - it seems kinda impolite to just point and shoot, without asking. pondered this in Immortality :
...I remember my childhood: in those days if you wanted to take somebody's picture you asked for permission. Even when I was a child, adults would ask me: little girl, may we take your picture? And then one day they stopped asking. The right of the camera was elevated above all other rights and that changed everything, absolutely everything.
Maybe if I hadn't read that, It'd All Be OkTM.
...and speaking of books, I noticed a new book around the shops last weekend, called Platform - I can wait for a softcover release, though, I've already got a pile of unread books on the shelf as it is.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
i donate to :
but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :

I used to ask, now I've refined it a little into a routine where I catch the subject's eye, gesture to the lense, and await a nod or smile.
But in clubs, people are keen for direction.. "would you prefer us up against the bar?" "wait, Jane, get overhere, this picture will be up at www.blah.com.au" lmao!
