won't you let me walk you home from school? won't you let me meet you at the pool?*

With two weeks of school left, I am into combining back to school vibes with summer vibes, which can be summarized metaphorically in this post's title.
Jerry Hall on a road trip in Texas, Stand By Me, Mary Ellen Mark, Sally Mann, Edward Hopper, Cindy Sherman (this here Untitled #96 is now the most valuable photograph in the world, GET IT CINDY SHERMAN), William Eggleston, Irving Penn.

*If you understand this reference to "Thirteen" by Big Star, congratulations! You may now consider yourself a member of the Cultural Elite.**
**If you understand this reference to Tina Fey's new book, double congratulations! I wish I'd thought of it so I made up this second asterisk to seem clever, and also not plagiarize.

    This is cool - I was smoking cigarettes when I was a preteen. I stopped at the age of fifteen, and never smoked after that, not once. Which is still better than starting after 18 and smoking for the rest of my life. By the way, the black girl from behind looks so glorious.

    Holy crap. Just stumbled across your name and then your blog via Danah Boyd of Apophenia. You are so brilliant, not just for a 15 year old, but in general. I love your voice and your style. If I weren't 12 years older than you and married with babies, I'd totally just say, "Let's be friends!" without any irony. Anyway, cheers to you for all the recognition you've gotten. It's well deserved.

    Thirteen is one of my favorite songs. The Elliott Smith version that was mentioned above is good too, if you haven't heard it, but not nearly as good as the original,if you ask me. You do such a great job matching your photos and post titles.

    I want to try and make a Jackson Pollocky painting today. So to get some idea, I've looked up his work in "Sister Wendy's American Masterpieces". And as it happens, Edward Hopper appears in here as well.

    I guess a lot of people talk about the creepiness, the psychological apect of E.H's work, but for me just his use of light and shadow is worth more than the price of admission. Nice choice, Tavi :-)

    heck, another club i won't be a member of ^___^
    the pics give off a somewhat Southern feel. and yes, smoking makes even preteens look badass and hard-boiled. it may cause cancer but SPOILER: non-smokers will die too ^______^. here's one more for the collection. random internet find, so i have no clue who's the photographer, alas.
    have a good time.

    If I knew what the picture was going to be like I wouldn’t make it. It was almost like it was made already.. the challenge is more about trying to make what you can’t think of.
