Jeff Luker

Seriously, nothing beats good old 35mm film. To me photography isn’t about capturing every pore in someone’s face, or even making slick, magazine-ready images. The imperfections in film put just enough distance between the viewer and the moment that allows room for an emotional and nostalgic response. Digital photos are generally so vivid that it eliminates all the mystery of an image. Check out Jeff Luker’s photostream to see what I mean.

Su Kong Tai Djin was an actual person, born in 1849 with hypertrichosis (otherwise known as werewolf syndrome), who was abandoned in the woods by his parents only to be adopted by a Shaolin temple where he became a kung fu master. Why has no one made a movie about him?

This clip had such an impact on me when it first came out, back in the day. There’s just something so poignant about the idea that some people you pass on the street everyday have a little bit more insight into their world — our world — than we could ever imagine. It’s beautiful and confronting, and it’s all set to the most wonderfully evocative music.

I’ve been reading Julia Wertz’s web comic, The Fart Party, which is simply a first person account of her every day life.
