Jul 26, 2009

I don't know how many people read this blog, but I've been brought up very strict and it's kind of polite to message you people out there that there probably won't be a post till I'm back in Amstelveen, August 6th. The connection here in Greece, to be more exactly, on Karpathos, is very slow and instabile. So here 1 photo at the swimming pool to make you jealous :))). Be back later. Unrecognizable probably, the mosquito's here are eating me alive.

Getting Old

Nice found: "Yesterday at the flea market I picked up a small cosmetics case stuffed with photos almost all of which were of the same woman. The bulk of the photos were photobooths and portraits documenting her as she aged over the course of about 50 years or so. I'll probably eventually put them all up over at Square America but until then here's a bunch- the dates where available are underneath each photo. Given the date of the first photo I figure she was born in late 1937 or early 1938. The last photo dates from the early 90s so she's somewhere in her early-to-mid 50s there."
