karel cudlín - bulgaria, 1983

My ugly legs, all beaten from bike, climbing to improper places and being careless in general, with sunburned feet with funny stripes. However, I have to like them, as they can walk me anywhere and are getting trained pretty quickly!

How void are you?

Saudade

Saudade has been described as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist … a turning towards the past or towards the future”.

…

In fact, one can have ‘saudades’ of someone whom one is with, but have some feeling of loss towards the past or the future.

The state of mind has subsequently become a “Portuguese way of life”: a constant feeling of absence, the sadness of something that’s missing, wishful longing for completeness or wholeness and the yearning for the return of that now gone, a desire for presence as opposed to absence—as it is said in Portuguese, a strong desire to “matar as saudades” (lit. to kill the saudades).

[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade ]

I remember such feeling ever since, most often on the verge of consciousness, when falling asleep or waking up, in disturbed morning sleep, and related to the absolutely pure fear and/of loneliness. However, it’s always missing something but don’t know what it is, as if it was forgotten in the dream. I think part of it haunts me through conscious day-life.

Discovered via http://vimeo.com/25559224, surely go and have a look at this video, the feeling is so familiar (for me) it gets creepy.

Currently I’m in such slowed-down mode but still eager to do things, just the required pace doesn’t fit me.

Experiencing troubles at school, slippage of dates, but I just can’t force myself to be stressed about it and try to catch up with the requirements. Even though I’m nervous about not being nervous, I realize it might be much better than the consequences of being stressed as hell.

It is always better “not to give a f_ck” a little more, than little less. At least as long as you have the choice.

It’s hard to pick single photos from this guy, as his skill is best shown in juxtaposed images & storytelling. I’m also caught up by similar interests such as

life of a student or biketuning in the corridors of college dorm

travelling

daytrips

concerts

and most importantly, sharing the same aestethics & perception of life (at least in the form of pictures).

Pinhole workshop + public darkroom opening

so many places

so little time

but still, what else to wish for
