maybe i’ve done it and maybe i haven’t but it’s entirely possible that i have managed to distill the essence of the years 2003-2012 (inclusive) into a single picture taken on a nokia 6300.

in years to come, i think the image of a hipster taking photos of people with an expensive camera with masking tape over the flash at a houseparty will be an enduring one (by enduring i mean “difficult to shake” rather than “sticking to the psyche via charm and merit”).

but yeah this is it. a tall skinny guy dressed head to toe in black, with a digital slr, at a houseparty in a house that’s white from floor to ceiling, taking a photo of a french dj who is smoking indoors and dj’ing (the track was “warp” by new musik, hot jam) to an empty dancefloor.

admittedly:

-he should be in vans, not nike am90s
-there should be a USE LESS tote bag in shot
-uncharacteristically there are no girls in american apparel leggings on the dancefloor
-those guys at the front door don’t appear to be talking about the monster children gallery

…but rarely can you have it all.
