@spinoza haven't you taken a pic like this?

So this is how 28 years old looks in white years? Damn man, they need to find the fountain of youth for that entire race ASAP.

Nah, he just let himself go.

"When I’m doing good, everyone wants to be around me. When I’m doing bad, I’m by myself."

"I’m trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up."

"I pretty much always feel sad and unsure of myself."
"But you’re very colorful."
"And my name is Allegra, which means happy."

"What was the saddest moment of your life?"
"When I lost my first wife."
"How long ago was this?"
"40 years."
"What happened?"
"We were in the Peace Corps, and had gone to Ethiopia to teach English. We were stepping out of a van when a runaway police car barreled into us. I still think they did it on purpose."
"How old were you at the time?"
"Twenty one."

I don’t normally post iPhone photos. But I also don’t normally look up at the gym and see this…

Seen at West 4th Street.

This man became very animated while discussing his ideas on happiness. He extended the index finger of each hand, and brought them very close together, as pictured: “Babies are happy with this much,” he said. “All they need is one ounce of milk.” Then he started to slowly widen the space between his fingers, until they were very far apart: “Adults,” he said, “are not even happy with this much.”
He pulled his fingers close together again: “You only need this to be happy,” he said.
Then he pulled them far apart again: “You do not need this.”

"What’s the hardest you’ve ever laughed?"
“When I got my divorce papers.”

"What was the happiest moment of your life?"
"When I sang onstage at the Super Bowl with Prince, in the rain."
"That works."

"What surprised you most about America?"
"People don’t stare as much as I thought they would. But even if they do stare, that means you’re doing something different. And that’s a good thing, right?"

"If you make art for the sake of money, it isn’t art. It’s business."

 

[Ego Noir]

"It’s getting increasingly difficult to disconnect from the world. So everyone needs a drug— some way to disconnect from everything. For me, tango is that drug. When you dance tango, it’s like you are in a cloud for three minutes."

"What’s the most frightened you’ve ever been?"
"When my mom died."
"How old were you?"
"Sixteen."
"Where was your Dad?"
"Not around."
"How’d she die?"
"AIDS."
"What’d you do?"
"Dropped out of school. Hung out with friends. Drank a lot. In certain neighborhoods, the whole community would have a charity drive if your parents died. Not in my neighborhood. We were on our own. I’m a youth counselor now. Some of the kids I deal with try to tell me how tough they are because they’re from the ‘streets.’ I tell them: ‘You aren’t tough. You’re barking at the wrong tree. I grew up in hell.’"

"I’m tripping out."

"I’m trying to help my kids find their way."
"What’s the most difficult part of that?"
"Letting them fail."

Today in microfashion…

"I just try to have fun."
"What’s the most fun you’ve ever had?"
"Can’t talk about it. I’m still waiting on my court date."

"My girlfriend and I aborted a child a couple of weeks ago."
“I’m sorry for your loss.”
“We didn’t lose anything. It was a choice.”
“Were both of you equally on board with the decision?”
“She followed my lead, which made it tougher I guess. But I’ve got so much going on right now, and she just opened her own theater show. It’s just not the right time.”
“How’s the aftermath been?”
“You know, I always thought of abortion as a common thing. I’m a liberal guy. Pro-choice and everything. But I never imagined how bloody painful it was going to be.”
“Do you mind if I post your story?”
“With my picture? I’d prefer not.”

"I perform in angle grinder shows."
“What are those?”
“I put on a metal outfit, then I grind the metal off it so that sparks shoot everywhere. Most of the time there are naked chicks involved.”

Humans aren't bad after all

People think these shots are not all that.
In 20 years they'll look at them with wistful eyes.

not all art is for everyone.
neither is all photography.

It is what it is.
I personally find nothing interesting or good about Terry Richardson's photography, but that dipshyt is one of the hottest photographers in the world.

why are you hating on this. the sartorialist does fashion and that's that this dude captures people and what they're thinking about or going through which a lot of people like. the last thing we need is another photographer capturing custom hipsters and fashionistas
