• i was bored, so i started sorting through my IE bookmarks just now, organising, categorising, deleting old links

  
  

  i don't even remember where i got this link from, but his photographs really depressed me.  are there really that many unhappy people out there in the world?  his photos seem so foreign and far away from where i'm sitting.  am i really that naiive and idealistic?  look at the trailer park and alder hotel albums.  his subjects at the alder hotel seem resigned to misery (weary eyes, side-long glances into the camera) while the trailer park ones look defiant (lips clamped shut, chin jutting out).  "yeah so what? i am trailer trash.  i am a 40 year old whore.  i am a drug addict.  i am old, alone and i depend on social security.  what do you say to that?"

  
  

  (reading ifso's posts always puts me into these pensive moods)

  
  

  i just hope that i'll never look at a sunset like this and not be able to appreciate it
