It has been a while, but I thought I would step outside the vortex of doom formally known as revision to share this little ray of sunshine with you all! Everyone loves old photos, whether they take you back to a place where your cares were once scrawled in Crayola or you are just plain nosey, old photos capture moments that have passed us by unknowingly. Rolling around in the mud, butt naked, aware that you are being snapped and with a look so cheeky you might as well be screaming GIVE A SHIT! What I would give to time warp it back there especially when right now the only place I am rolling up to is the library, fully clothed and fronted by face jaded with the realisation that now I actually have to give a shit. But, you can never go back in life, only forward so I guess it is worth filling those cold blank pages with informed knowledge, so those blank stares can melt into relieved smiles. It will all be over soon! Until then, I will leave you with this snippet of creativity. Argentinian photographer Irina Werning shares my love for old photographs, but instead of just staring at them adoringly she has dedicated the last year of her work to people who wish to reenact photo's that take them back to their very own naked patch of mud! She is extremely talented. The whole concept is somewhat revolutionary as she manages to escape the passage of time and relieve feelings trapped in moments of the past. If this can give me seconds of reflection between the bellowing pillars of political philosophy swelling around me, then I am sure it can make you crack a smile too! Enjoy! x
