| Picture Mix #1: 62 Pictures |
When I’m online and I see a picture I like, I save it to a huge folder full of random crap on my hard drive. I’ve been doing this for years, and that folder has amounted to a veritable gold mine of rad, covering the spectrum of everything wonderful and amazing. Sometimes I put together carefully selected mixes of these pictures on CDs for my friends, so I thought I’d try implementing that idea here. A lot of these pictures are from blogs that I frequent on a regular basis, some of which are on the list to your right. Since I don’t remember where most of these came from, I won’t try and credit all the sources. If you took one of these photos, just know that I love it/you. Anyway, enjoy! 
A handful of sources. Let me know if I missed you! Dante Carlos |

d) have you heard about that ronald mcdonald girl? she lives in japan and dresses like that all the time, and sometimes takes strange pictures like that one.
e) this is great.
Oh my gad– that photograph of midway through with the creek/trees/tulips– there was definately a jigsaw puzzle of that photograph in the day-care I went to when I was a toddler until I was in third grade.
man, its really interesting how the visual dynamics of urbanization show up, also i kept noticing how (maybe cause you’re in LA) asian cities kept popping up. i was struck by the fact that many of these photos capture life on the cultural margins of postmodern urban spaces. i realize that kind of vocabulary is sort of twerpy but i mean i’m seeped in academics.
my name is jacob, by the way, i live in virginia. i saw your blog via being friends of a friend/a fan of johnny corndawg. i’m a lot of things but mostly, a person who thinks about cultural dynamics in megacities in the global network, and new forms of expression that result. i might actually teach a course on the subject very soon at william and mary (where i am a student). email me if you like(have time) about how you find aesthetics in those spaces, you seem like a person who would have some really interesting thigns to say about it.

my favorite is the asian girl in the bed staring out the window
