The90s

@kanesnaps and me in 1997. I knew how to use the self-timer. Unfortunately I didn’t know how aperture and depth-of-field corresponded in those days. This was influenced - without the technical ability to pull it off - by the famous Mick Rock photoshoot of Syd Barrett (I was obsessed with Syd Barrett) with his purple and orange striped floorboards. I should be very clear that the weed smoking Bob Marley poster belonged to my flatmate thank-you-very-much. I, of course, had a Bill Brandt print up in my room #pretentious . ...

Eerie boys, 1997. Only @kanesnaps is on insta in this pic. That’s Gen-Xers for you. I seem to have taken a couple of these low-light timed pictures back then - by candlelight too.

June 1996 was a funny time for me and @sad_ivan . Yessiree.

It was a normal day in the 1990s. At least for @sad_ivan, Gareth, and me it was a normal day.

#tbt From fake Tri-X to the real thing. The beautiful young Gareth by candlelight in 1997.

The dusty centre of my teenage life. Obsolete and long overdue for recycling.
