San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell May your walls fall and may I live to tell May all the world forget you ever stood And the whole world regret you did no good
And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter And she hates you and your friends And you just can't get served without her And the box-office is drooling And the bar stools are on fire And the newspapers were fooling And the ashtrays have retired Cause the piano has been drinking Not me
For every action, a reaction equal and opposite That's why, my friend, the blood tastes good every time I'm hit I got a will to win and a Cheshire grin The Nightwatchman is near And you can't get it where you're at but you can sure get it here
Zydrate comes in a little glass vial (A little glass vial? A little glass vial!) And the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery And the Zydrate gun goes somewhere against your anatomy And when the gun goes off, it sparks and you're ready for surgery
A marble copy of a gold-and-ivory statue of the Classical period (5th-4th cent. BC), it represents a goddess, perhaps Aphrodite. The colour that has leaked below her eyes is probably a product of the oxidation of the statue's bronze eyelashes.
Brother, this is war... We are the dogs of Tijuana, howling in the night The world will not end in fire, it will not end in ice It will end when we arrive

About this blog
PHOTOGRAPHS are hastily scanned (when not digital) and poorly home-developed (when not by a professional) , very rarely cropped and never ever processed, and generally unblemished by anything that could make them, well, better. THE ABOVE STATEMENT is a lie, or rather has been a lie since March 2010. I tweak levels, lightness and contrast regularly (I even used a mask once), I often crop, and I've tried colorizing a couple of photos. I use GIMP 2.6. DATES are semi-random, give or take a couple of years or more.
LOCATIONS are approximately accurate. Usually.
TITLES are not necessarily relevant.
CAPTIONS are most certainly irrelevant.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION is sometimes wildly inaccurate. Labels include films which do not even exist. I think.
TECHNOBABBLE explains recent - digital - endeavours, from the point of view of a person who knows a couple of things about film photography and 35mm cameras but fuck all about digital anything. Don't expect insightful comments on technology, expect a novice's enthusiasm - or dismay - upon learning stuff everybody else already knows.
