ARTICLES

I read magazines sometimes before I cut them to pieces with scissors and tape the pictures I like either into the wall or composition books organized by theme. The articles on this page are the ones that we enjoyed and saw fit to remember in case we wished to share them with someone else, but really, who has time. You know what I mean?

ARTICLES

These are periodical articles we read and kept here in case it made sense to know about them later. Also I took scissors and cut all the pictures out of the magazines and taped them on the wall. So I don’t have the magazines anymore. I like magazines, no matter how dumb they have become because they always were but photographers and writers sometimes do a good job anyway.
