silver jews - wild kindness

In an effort to make myself sound/feel more legit, I've finally put together a website: www.jamesbernal.com

Updating it will be [one of] my New Year's Resolution[s].

deerhunter - vox celeste

This picture reminds me of how great that backpack has been and how many buses, airplanes, and boat rides we've shared over the years. Looking through it a few weeks ago, I was hoping to find a lock. Instead, I found seashells, a subway map, and an email scrawled onto the back of a napkin.

pixies - gigantic

A year ago, we were playing Beer Toss and The Pixies came on. The guy next to me turned to his friend and mentioned how much he hated that band. In hindsight, what an idiot.

talking heads - this must be the place

Approaching the bottom-of-the-world, Calafate, Argentina. We were popular amongst the street dogs that followed us around and I actually felt part of something bigger. That is, until I let hubris get the best of me and a rogue German Shepherd bit my leg. Just ask my friends- they love that story.

mum - we have a map of the piano

While in Colombia this past week, my dad found an old Kodak Brownie in my grandparent's old apartment. He brought it back and I've been playing around with it and I can't help but feel like an archeologist because it's such a simple device (essentially a light-tight box with a shutter) but some levers don't seem to do anything. I'm going to keep playing with it and figure out a way to roll some modern film into it.

In other news, I've been a whole lot more inspired these past few weeks. I've been looking/lurking a lot and seeing so much good work from people that I just feel like grabbing my camera and running outside. The deceptively pleasant weather is also helping. I just need to find adventures/excuses to sling my camera over my shoulder.

The best part about my new job is that I'm about a 5 minute walk down to the beach and I can't figure out if that's good or bad.
