The Pinhole

The pinhole camera is a manual, lensless,  handmade camera. It literally takes long-exposure, out-of-focus photos through a pinhole that projects an inverted image into a darkened box.

Why use it? It's got a weak perspective. You have to know how to develop film. You can also only take one photo before you have to unload the camera in the dark and reload a fresh piece of film. It isn't really accurate at all.

It doesn't matter... Use it.

I'll tell you why...  The whole idea of the Pinhole Camera isn't accuracy. It isn't the perspective. It's the feeling - The feeling of capturing an image with something that was handmade, by you. 

It's the nostalgia...

...and sometimes using something that isn't all that perfect is what makes it perfect.

Interesting how one can get cravings for unexplainable things.

I'm craving sound.

Society's Child

Die Mens – weereens die onderwerp. Altyd die onderwerp. Word of advice: Moenie probeer om die kommersiële gedeelte van die samelewing te verwyder en te vervang met alternatiewe idees nie. Op die ou end van die dag het jy ‘n gemeenskap vol alternatiewe ideologieë, wat glad nie meer vir jou alternatief lyk nie. Kyk om jou, die proses is al amper voltooi. Die proses is al lankal aan die gebeur, in fact, dit is al amper heeltemal klaar.

Die alternatiewe beweging kan onder geen omstandighede funksioneer sonder ‘n teen-sisteem nie. Dit is nodig. Dit moet daar wees. Sonder dit is daar geen rede om alternatief te probeer wees nie.

So is ‘n nuwe anti-alternatief besig om vorm te kry – let wel ek gebruik die term “anti” nie in ‘n negatiewe opsig nie . Sien dié “anti” as ‘n meer alternatiewe beweging of selfs nog ‘n ander tipe alternatief, nie dieselfde as die vorige Alternatief nie. Enige nuwe alternatief is ‘n kind van die sisteem. Die twee is indirek soos ‘n rebelse adolessent en ‘n konserwatiewe ouer.

Musiek bring die ergste in jou uit.

The Downgrade

Ons "Downgrade" om in te pas, nie waar nie? Ons gee dikwels ons intelligensie prys om aan die oppervlakkige gesprek van die samelewing te deel.  Intelligensie word deur baie beskou as 'n bedreiging en goeie taalgebruik intimideer die norm. Dus downgrade jy om deel te wees van 'n of uitsonderlike undercover samelewing of 'n uitsonderlike dom een.
