Just a girl... that has no idea what she's doing and will probably change this as soon as she does. This is basically a way to pass the time through one of my obsessions. You'll probably just see a bunch of stuff that has no relation to the next and me geeking out over them. Enjoy.
chagalov: Israël Zangwill, ca 1905 -by J.E. Purdy The only good photographs I have ever seen of myself were done by an amateur — most of the others might just as well have been taken in my absence.And there is always a painful neatness about photographs: my humble study was once photographed, and it looked like a princely library. Bags come out with artistic interstices, fustian gleams like satin. It is the true Platonic touch, glorifying and gilding everything. Filth itself would come out like roses. No, no, let us hear no more about Zola’s “photography”.— Israel Zangwill, in ‘Without Prejudice’ (1898) [PG] from loc
