Heh
2010I know it's heavy
I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it
With your arms folded tight
~ Arcade Fire, "Month of May"
Overhearing
October 2010, Monastiraki, AthensBut in my teleconference with Houston
they told me I wasn't any use to 'em.
So I walked up the length
of the Street they call Straight
cursing myself
cause I got there too late.
~ The Fiery Furnaces, "Straight Street"
Feed me, Seymour
October 2010, Monastiraki, AthensI'm your genie, I'm your friend, I'm your willing slave
Take a chance, just feed me and
You know the kinda eats, the kinda red hot treats
The kinda sticky licky sweets I crave
~ Little Shop of Horrors, "Feed me (Git it)"
Unsuspecting
October 2010, Monastiraki, AthensBut whatever they offer you
Though they're slopping the trough for you
Please, whatever they offer you,
Don't feed the plants
~ Little Shop Of Horrors, "Finale"
Run
October 2010, downtown, AthensI run from their pity, from responsibility
I run from the country and run from the city
I can run from the law, I can run from myself
I can run for my life, I can run into debt
I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone
I can run for the office and run from the cause
~ Amanda Palmer, "Runs in the family"
Slingshot
October 2010, downtown, AthensI propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
~ Morphine, "Cure for pain"
Propelled
October 2010, downtown, AthensAll I heard was an unearthly silence
Apart from the violence, explode in my head
Where all at once was this moment of beauty
No more since it slew me, no never again
~ Flogging Molly, "Selfish man"
The Photographer
2010Should I choose a noble occupation?
If I did, I'd only show up late and sick
and they would stare at me with hatred
Plus, my only natural talent's wasted
on my alcoholic friends
The party never ends
~ The Dresden Dolls, "My alcoholic friends"

Hard on
October 2010, Patissia, AthensWhat is a dog but a machine for loving
You introduce him to a human being
Giving him the mission to love
And however ugly, perverse, deformed
Or stupid this human being might be
The dog loves him
~ Iggy Pop, "A machine for loving"

Turtles are fundamentally weird animals
September 2010, Exarcheia (!), AthensAnd when I say goodnight
The pictures in my head
Will dance around my room
And frolic in my bed
~ Vincent Marcone

Meta
September 2010, Patissia, AthensAnd after all this
won't you give me a smile?

Feed your head
September 2010, Patissia, AthensMan is tethered
Spirit free
What spirit is
Man can be
~ The Waterboys, "Spirit"
A forest
September 2010, Patissia, AthensI wouldn't bother with this one, but when I saw it on full screen mode, I could swear that the curtain moved with the breeze. Absolutely curtains.

College kids I : fourth wall down
December 2009, downtown, AthensThe weight of the centuries was on his shoulders, and a sadness that no logic could dispel.

The fish knows
July 2010, A-1The man thinks, the horse thinks
The sheep thinks, the cow thinks, the dog thinks
The fish doesn't think
The fish is mute, expressionless
The fish doesn't think because the fish knows
Everything
~ Iggy Pop, "This is a film"
In the sun in my disgrace
July 2010, A-1Boiling heat, summer stench
'neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
and I'll hear you scream again
~ Soundgarden, "Black Hole Sun"
Urban Gothic II
June 2010, Patissia, AthensThe dead have come to claim a debt from thee
They stand outside your door four score and three
~ The Pogues, "Turkish song of the damned"
Urban Gothic I
June 2010, Patissia, AthensWhite lady growling on a chain
Peacock caw the sound of my lover's name
The tone was pure and played on gut
from your birdhouse aflame

Thunder roll
The Rolling Thunder Revue, 1975Bob Dylan & Roger McGuinn
from The Bootleg Series Vol.5, 2002
Mama wipe the blood off my face
I can't see through it any more
I need someone to talk to and a new hiding place
Feel like I'm looking out of heaven's door
Mama I can hear that thunder roll
Echoing down from God's distant shore
I can hear them calling for my soul
Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
I can't see through it any more
I need someone to talk to and a new hiding place
Feel like I'm looking out of heaven's door
Mama I can hear that thunder roll
Echoing down from God's distant shore
I can hear them calling for my soul
Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door

Zero gravity
2010From the fall came such choices
Even worse than the fall
There’s this chain of consequences
Within, without
~ James, "Hey ma"

Proof of my huge ignorance #347 : For the life of me, I can't tell if this is slightly out of focus or simply blurred. Or both. Or what.
Also, this is the first processed photo here. Meaning that I fooled around with tone and contrast for about twenty seconds. Hm.
