so these are what will probably be the last of the night shots im gonna upload cause i've decided to do an exhibition of the stuff i've gotten here so far and the rest of the pics from the north when i get another moon. all i can say i that we found some insane things so far and its gonna be a killer exhibit with a whole lot of intrigue. i want to find a space in grahamstown for the festival next year so make a point to try and go, not only to support me but its gonna be twice as long next year and just absolutely insane i reckon with the whole buzz of the world cup and all. prob do around 10-15 A0 prints. we will see. im excited. anyway so these shots are from the same hosteria but the interiors of a new building. there were about 5 of us and i had mentioned that i was gonna wonder the night and take some photos by myself(this was about 1am), the next thing i knew i had everyone putting on their shoes and coming with me. how awesome are these dudes i was thinking! so wide awake we started walking the campos, full moon, dogs, torches, radness. its quite funny having people come along on these night things cause they never realize how much time it actually takes and people tend to get bored and it frustrates me to be honest. i prefer to do them alone, have a spliff and just chill. even better have ric join me. hah. but these dudes are so chilled and the fact that we cant really talk makes it even funnier because i just started putting them in the photos and they didnt really have a choice in the matter. so this first shot is the creator of 'MicHo". this is something i cant describe but its basically a way of life that these guys live by. anyway he is the front guy on the heladera. next is marcos and then pablito, then of course is victorio the gay dog. he is full of ticks and is really gay, i tried not to touch him much. anyway this shot is a whole lot of flashes and torch and one gel flash outside. the next shot is of another fridge we found in the next room. not this but another shot is one of the series for the exhibition which i dont wanna show just yet, its quite literally out of this world. the hammock is where i spend most mornings drinking a mate and talking shit and thought it would need to get involved. so thats that for now. now back in buenos aires exploring the city at last. have the most amazing apartment on the 24th floor, you can imagine the view for yourself, e pec tac u lar. its a stones throw from 'el obelisco' or what i prefer to call the giant winky. right in the centre of one the biggest cities in the world. 'tick' off to a veggie restaurant they say is mainly for lesbians and gays so i will fit right in, not. none the less until i have something worth showing.
