peaches at irving plaza

a messy observation:

Crowded concert--watching all the people around me--conscious (again) of the fact that i often process new experiences in terms of how i can transcribe them (in text in art)-- watching all the 20 year olds mediate their experience of the show through their digital cameras. phalanx of cell phone cameras pointed at the stage--photos taken then instantly sent to absent friends. not watching or experiencing as an end in itself-but as a "voice".

went to flickr the next day to see how many of the images had already been uploaded.

some things that make my skin crawl:

a finger in my bellybutton.

wet spots on the sidewalk.

on the subway--seats/poles still warm from another body.
