This is a night of evenly spaced-
out escalators. This is a night of werewolves.
Bodies are colliding into one another.
Trains, oceans. My body collided with hers
hers collided with his
his fell awkwardly to its death.
There are werewolves that scatter about evenly
but congregate at dead bodies.
Ants at a picnic. Trees to rivers.
There are werewolves in business casual
riding up the escalators, so evenly spaced-
out, so tremendously efficient
and consistent. This is a night of driving.
I am in my Mercury Topaz. She is in hers.
Moons are electrons above us.
We are hitting tons of werewolves.Zachary Schomburg

THIS IS THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
“If you had to think of a word to describe the portraits of classical musicians and their instruments, what would it be? The one I thought of is: extremely boring. OK that’s two words. But really, when is the last time you saw an exciting photograph of a trombonist? [Let alone an awesome one!] Award-winning photographer (and cellist!) Nikolaj Lund has clearly identified the problem and solved it. His fun and often aggressive portraits take classical musicians out of the orchestra pit and off the stage and literally hurls them in the ocean, makes them tumble on the streets, and stagger through the desert. If I was a musician I would be calling this guy immediately (fyi, he’s based in Denmark). You can see much more of his [awesome] work on Flickr, and his website.”
The person I’m reblogging this for knows exactly who they are ;)
