Spring: a peaceful transition from the melancholy & distant winter into the nauseating & intoxicating summer. Spring passes by quickly, often forgotten. It seems to only serve as a lighthouse of expectancy. The days grow longer and the comforting warmth of the sun presents itself as a sneak peak of summer, teasing every inch of our fatigued and overworked little bodies. But on a perfect spring day, inklings of 90 degree summer humidity are no where to be found, and the neglected segment of late march to late june can be fully appreciated. A rejuvenating breeze makes an emergence and sensations of reawakening levitate in the newly floral scented air. Fall through winter I have drowned in inordinate apprehension and disquietude; faced with the realities of chores, stress, and assignments which seemed unfeasible. With spring, even amongst the final bits and pieces of unwanted exertion, I have welcomed an old friend; sense of mental repose, content with solitude, bliss and tranquility. The sun greets me warmly, the breeze is gracious. I don't mind waiting for summer.
In the midst of taking these photos, the film in the camera unhooked itself, was unable to rewind, and ultimately turned the majority of our photos to shit. This is the last picture we took before the incident and it just so happens to be my favorite. I love the way the obstinate film ceased the creation of the image two thirds of the way through. The disheveled character of the photo serves as a memoir to the pictures we lost, which would have been erased from our memory otherwise.
And as a side note, Thee Oh Sees new album "Floating Coffin" is fucking incredible and you should listen to it. This is a video from a few days ago at L'Antipode Rennes in Rennes, France of "Minotaur"- the last song on the album and a great spring jam.
