some selected images from my recent trip to austin texas for sxsw. for the first time i was not even close to being alone when out shooting. all these were taken from about 1-4 a.m. i noticed that anytime i saw green lighting it was from an atm. i found myself drawn to the guy under the atm, holy shit did he look depressed. everyone else was moving, except him.

it's interesting that you're taking these photos around the same time of night as you take your house photos... yet you weren't alone. but, were you alone when shooting people's houses? is there something about having a wall between you and the nearest person that makes you more separate from them than being on the street, doing the same thing?
i guess you also weren't alone in that you had other people actually with you and interacting with you.
it's totally different, shooting by yourself versus shooting with other people..... generally i'd say i prefer being alone. i don't know why. i don't like being alone any other time.
you seem to be drawn to monetary issues*. i wonder why................. :P
*post some of your collages on here.
Is it strange to think that I do more socially-deviant things around other people past midnight, compared to when I'm in my house?
I like what Lydia said, it is an interesting dichotomy. Perhaps something can be said of the dual nature of human connection, being that were are all alone, yet all connected, depending on what perspective you adhere to. Quite "Jungian" and also quite Existential.
P.S. I think you'll like what I wrote tonight.
