Last Days of Polaroid

It might be said that I’m composing too many of my photos with the subject’s head in the top left corner too often. I don’t even realize that I’m doing it until I see a stack of photos that all have a similar composition. Who gives a shit, so long as the subjects are as great as these ones are.

PONYBOY. I saw this guy during Gay Pride and one of my friends asked why I wasn’t running over to take his photo. I said that he was too obvious and he didn’t strike me as a very interesting subject at all. But when I saw him start acting like a cute little pony I changed my mind. I just wish I had a bag of baby carrots to give him.

MOLLY. I feel like I never saw Molly before in my life until this past fall, now I’m seeing her all the time. I don’t really know much about her, so she’ll have to comment on this entry and enlighten us. I do know that she blogs for Metromix and is curating a show at the Wind-Up Space next month. She will be talking about the show on Maryland Morning (88.1 FM) at 9:40 a.m. on Monday the 7th.

BEAUTIFUL. I met Beautiful on the street during Gay Pride and I don’t know if it was my imagination or we really did have a nice, intimate connection. Or maybe she is just very forthcoming and open with everyone she meets. She came right out and told me she was a working girl and I wanted to be her friend, but she hasn’t called me yet. She’s the only person I’ve ever met named Beautiful.

ED SCHRADER. I ran into Ed at the Ponytail CD release party a couple of weeks ago . He’s one of those people that only knows me as “Defekto”…which is okay. I’d rather he know me as that than Drano or Charo.

I forget who this guy is with Ed, but Ed pointed out that they look the same…like brothers or a twin even. I don’t know Ed well enough to know if he’s bullshitting…it probably is his brother. On his last show he said that he and Emily Rabbit looked similar…so maybe this is a running joke. Who could possibly know.
