A POLAROID STORY
POLATRON
Dear troopers I received a very cool belated birthday gift yesterday and thought it was only fair to share this one with you guys, considering.

POW!POW!POW! The woman you can see Polarized above is none other than Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam aka M.I.A.

THE VERY BEST (nothing but)
Dour, 17/07/2010 Behold, before you are watching upon THE VERY BEST. Let me break it down for you. Sometimes in life, you need to have fun. You need to unleash that evil beast that is called ‘the burden of life’ in you, let yourself go, have a drink and dance the night away. We are all […]

SNdouble03P
This picture is the perfect embodiment of what this blog is all about. A snapshot of an instant moment, a visual shot of a musical journey. Or less romantic : a story based on the 3P-theory: Permancence, Perseverance and Persistence and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. (Well, no blood and tears actually, but definitely […]
(all for) NOTHING
Inhale. Exhale. This one is as fucking unbelievable for me as it probably might be for you. Here is the A to the Z story – with LOTS of pictures. While going home by train, I was checking Twitter on my Iphone when I noticed this Tweet directed at me: Honestly? I raised my eyebrows and […]
