“I've never really been interested in the vintage photos people pay lots of money for -- civil war tintypes or old daguerrotypes of famous people. Nor do I have any interest in the really gross, dark stuff that some people pay top-dollar, like post-mortem photos of babies (yuck) or press photos of old murder scenes or whatever. I collect in these little niches most other people don't care about -- dark-and-weird-but-fun -- and photos that have been written on, which a lot of sellers think hurts their value. All of which is good news for me!” PeopleThinkingLittlesHas BeensWarCareValuesFunStuffInterestHurtDarkPayWrittenBabySceneNewsMurderPressesDollarsDon't CarePostsCivil WarLots Of MoneyGood NewsGrossNicheVintageSellersYuck Author:Ransom Riggs
“When I'm taking the subway to my improv shows I will be writing in my notebook different actions that I see people doing on the train whether it's eating yogurt or looking at where their stop is, or tripping or holding a baby. It's not preparing scenes and ideas as much as it is stoking your brain to think observantly. Just to place observations in your head, so that they are available somewhere.” PeopleThinkingWritingIdeasDifferentShowsActionBrainBabySceneEatingTrainAvailableObservationPreparingNotebookSubwayYogurtTripping Author:Mike Birbiglia
“I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.” KnowsMenKnow HowBabySceneMen And WomenPrisonPerformingDollsAssemblyInsurrection Author:Indira Gandhi
“We were a small group of weirdos and baby punks and gays and free spirits who had to use our imaginations a lot. We only saw pictures and read zines, so we could only interpret the aesthetic and message of punk scenes around the world. We were basically the duck-billed platypuses of punk.” WorldSpiritImaginationBabySceneGayAestheticPunkFree SpiritWeirdo Author:Beth Ditto
“I liked the scenes with the baby, but the baby steals all the scenes that you're in. So that would get old after a while, because the baby is too perfect. I liked being high on ecstasy.” PerfectBabySceneStealingEcstasy Author:Michael Emerson
