Polaroid 250, Street Festival
I approached each person and asked to take a photo. I think I like this approach more than snapping without asking. Too nice? maybe.
I have so much fun with this Polaroid camera. It's a novelty, of course, but it takes pretty good photos. The lens is glass, and well-made. The tones are nice, too. Color film is available, but it's more expensive and I don't like the look as much.
I had three shots left in this pack when I left the house, and I didn't even think to take a new pack. I'll remember next time.

Yet I have had a number of my photos called "intimate". It's still me establishing a bond when I decide to snap that shutter.
What the photo reveals about those motives, well that is a serious topic.
Oh Farmer, that dilettante, Zizek, is full of crap as usual (although that scene from "Possessed" is one I wasn't aware of, fantastic).
It's been debated by more sincere thinkers than he. Last great battle was the Cahiers crew roughing up the Cinema of Quality.
But maybe it's just me thinking that anyone who takes The Matrix seriously as thought or cinema is a lamer.
Damn, don't know how I was unaware of Possessed. What a scene.
Who knew?
I thought that the only true difference, was the length.
I detest it.
It replaced Rodchenko's graphic breakthroughs trying to educate an illiterate working class and Rodchenko clearly has some relationship to Zizek's confused theory.
I get drawn to those shots that break up space so that people are also fractured and distanced. Not very optimistic but I feel it's a vision for our current fragmentation.
