I don't put new Journal updates very often, and it's quite nice to have them read.
Even if there isn't much i want to say, even less that needs saying.
So, what to say?
I've been writing more poetry now, i've just come out of a three or four month block, and it's good to be able to write again.
I got a record player, and i've discovered quite alot of new music.
Went to Paris a month ago, it was pretty good. Got quite drunk, they banned beer in the hotel so we had to lift it up from the street in rucksacks and bags, using a rope made from loads of belts. That was pretty fun. Saw a Basquiat painting in the Pompidou Center, i felt weird when i saw it. I've studied him quite alot this year, and just to think that he did the painting right infront of me made me feel a bit strange.
It's always different looking at the work of artists that die young, like Basquiat did. He died of a drug overdose before he was thirty.
I thought that his art, it's like a will, or a suicide note. It's his life, it's the only permanent idea we have of a man long dead, his chance and opportunity to change the world, to influence it and to live on in something outside of his own body. It's like reading someone's last words, or something like that.
If i could meet one person in the world, it'd be him.

it makes it much more worth doing if you know that there are people out there that appreciate it.
I never put up a lot of my street photography, generally because I find I'm the only one to find it interesting haha x]

I just think that the one thing that photography can do that no other art form can is capture a scene in a fraction of a second, it's the only true way to capture fleeting moments in the real world that would have otherwise been lost forever.
And i don't really know if any of the moments that i capture are important, but i'd hate to find out that they were and the whole world missed them.
I feel the same I guess apart from I find it hard to photograph events as such since I'm addicted to experiencing first hand rather than through the lens, which I guess is a fundamental difference in me
