DO YOU FEEL YOUR SKULL

this is going to be a lot of links. Got introduced to the artwork of Fredrik Söderberg by the band, Skull Defekts, has a new album called Peer Amid. Out now on Thrill Jockey Records. And featuring Daniel Higgs (no link for Higgs, google it) on vocals and assorted instruments. A bunch of good things going on here.

GOLDEN CHILD

Disclaimer

When I started Doom Alone, I hoped it would maybe be a way for me to get back into photography. An art that has been dead to be since I finished college and the whole digital revolution took over.

Honestly, it started with laziness, then I lost myself in the shuffle.

To be clear, I have always been turned off by people that start blogs and simply repost things that they find  online, or even worst, other people blogs. It shows how unimaginative people have become, and these blogs are usually coming from so called “artists”, that pride themselves on their endeavors.

The idea of this site is for me to post pictures of things I see, am inspired by, or simply don’t want to forget from a particular moment in time. I am not an artist, I never claimed to be.

However, I still wanted to stick to my guns that I would only use pictures I would take myself. Or of me, taken by friends.

Then this happened.

I am midway through a 40 day medical study. Due to privacy concerns, no cameras (phones or computers) are allowed within these walls. So, here I am. Given the choice to not post anything, or sucumb to one of my greatest pet peeves (I have many).

I think you can see whatI have chosen. Not like anyone looks at this anyway.

PS I have changed some of the photos I have stolen, so there’s that.

Buildings emptied of their automatons are even more desolate than tombs; when the machines are left idle they create a void deeper than death itself. I was a ghost moving about in a vacuum.
