Wise Words from Ed Moses

Polaroid, I’m cheating on you
I just ordered a new instant film camera and it’s not a polaroid. Should be coming in the mail any day now…

Unconsumption

Recent Acquisitions
Special 5th Sunday Long Beach Flea Market yielded several greatd finds:

On a daring move, I purchased this cart and 8 1950’s sleeping bags. I got an insane deal, so good that I can’t even tell you, the guy [...]

Modern Art is a Biatch
That is the subject of an email that I got from my friend Scott late last night.
The body of the email has a link to this image.
