@tkadlec @danrubin This. So much this. Digital seems frantic. Analog is calm, relaxed. Shooting film is like taking a deep breath.

Went to the brewery across the street from our hotel in Traverse City and stumbled into a show by a Joy Division cover band. Surprisingly, they’re not awful.

At what point do Republicans say “enough is enough” and choose country over party? Because this would be a pretty good point. But no, they’re terrified of their base, terrified that their careers will end, and so, countenance treason. Their careers will still end. #TreasonSummit

Two years ago, @Shakestweetz, @leahmcelrath, and @sarahkendzior were warning us about stuff to come that the mainstream media is reporting today. If you want to know what they’ll be reporting two years from now, follow all three today. https://twitter.com/Shakestweetz/status/1017830718716678145

Thread. This is symptomatic of every way the press does us a disservice. Covering the image instead of the substance, the optics instead of the impact, is what gave us the government we have today. It prioritizes the showman over the candidate with actual solutions. https://twitter.com/Shakestweetz/status/1016675989261291521

@jessicarhibbard Also, the social aspect. I find that some cameras induce this more than others. My Canon Elan 7e looks just like a digital camera, so nothing there. But Polaroid cameras and large format cameras, especially the Speed Graphic, are guaranteed to bring people out of the woodwork.

@jessicarhibbard I absolutely have used film photography for its subversive qualities. For many years, I had a project where I used the nostalgia-inducing aesthetic quality of film as a way of subverting nostalgia. I’ve stoped doing that, but the meditative aspects are more prominent now.

And it wasn’t just the lyrics that were witty. Go listen to Us Amazonians again. Song about Amazonian women, South American, right? Guitar line is pure Congolese, which is not in South America. Why? Dunno, but it sounds totally right for the song.

I mean, really. Such a witty lyricist. The Spanish refrain in “In These Shoes” cracks me up. “I don’t like to walk. I can’t ride a horse. How can I dance? It’s a scandal!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf-MaLXgl3A Such a loss.

Although really, it was thinking that one of my (former) co-workers treatment of his now ex-girlfriend meant he wouldn’t know what life with an Amazon would be that got me started on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZh9ayEmKHY
