In the Backseat

From the Arcade Fire:

I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don’t have to drive,
I don’t have to speak,
I can watch the countryside,
and I can fall asleep.

My family tree’s
losing all its leaves,
crashing towards the driver’s seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
to melt the street beneath your feet.

Alice died
in the night,
I’ve been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I’ve been learning.

I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don’t have to drive,
I don’t have to speak,
I can watch the countryside

Alice died
in the night,
I’ve been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I’ve been learn… Oh….

In the backseat

Black and White Memories

It’s been 3 months since I returned from my holiday in Northland. I took my trusty Olympus OM-2 to NZ – a 30 year old camera that was my dad’s – and yesterday I got the film developed. I miss the thrill that you get upon first glimpsing your photos. Never happens any more in this instant digital age. I like the moodiness of these shots. There’s something about black and white photos that can’t be replicated with a digital SLR – character.
