Met Joseph at a traffic light today in Milnerton, Cape Town.  He told me he lost his fingers due to frostbite on a Chinese tuna trawler 20 years ago.  He was made to work without gloves for several days.

I found these photo’s I took of a guy I called Don on an old hard drive from some years ago.   Don would chain smoke, drink vodka from his fridge and talk to himself late into the night.  He and I moved on sometime ago but I think it’s safe to assume Don is pretty much doing the same thing tonight.

Everyone in Cape Town being fokken lazy today including me on an extended hipstamatic lunch break in Woodstock. 

The Cameo Artist. Timothy Carey was out of his mind, this likely semi-improvised scene with Seymour Cassel from Cassavetes Minnie and Moskowitz, his career was just five minute appearances in many great films like Paths of Glory, shows him in very real pain… or not.
