A picture may be worth a thousand words, but our photobloggers dig the written word, too. Here’s a delicious collection of what’s going on their varied, wild worlds...in their own words.
• Siege is “feeling ranty” today. So ranty, he made a list:
6. Ellen von Unwerth. Models-turned-photographers = snore. Squirting your schoolyard estrogen on Helmut Newton's style is not enough, even with a really cool eurotrash name.
7. Dreadlock hair extensions, especially of the multi-color variety. Often combined with "futuristic" black platform boots, goggles, and short plaid skirts. Stop it. We need to change the name of your festival to Boringman. I loved 1992 as much as the next guy. I subscribed to Mondo2000. But the future came and went and all we got was George Bush and iPhones. Move on.
• Autumn’s traveling the world. Meet her latest bunkmates:Those poor Belgians. We put them through so much. This is George and a suspecting Oliver and Jo, in the hotel in a city that has three streets (none of them paved). You wouldn’t get any sleep either, would you?
• Chase looks for meaning:At this single moment in time I only believe in two things: Dinosaur Jr. and the fact that there should be at least two more glasses of wine in every bottle.
• Rose + Olive break the rules:His only rule is that we stay out of his front yard naked, his driveway naked, his computer room naked (?) and his doorway naked. Oops.
• And Brandon talks tattoos:The tattoo on my stomach says “strength.” It’s something about a tiger and a dragon getting in a fight, to be totally precise, but the meaning is “strength.” For all I know it could actually say “I like to touch little boys.” I got it when I was 16. Nuff said.
See tattoos, Belgians, rule-breakers and more, right here. — Nicole Ankowski
