We are not going anywhere.
We are not moving. We are not moving.
Why are we standing still. We are not moving.
We are standing here.
Why are we standing.
Why are we standing still. Why are we still here.
Why are we not moving.
***
I am not satisfied with this food.
I am not satisfied.
I dont' like this food. I am not happy with it.
I am not going to eat this food,
I am not satisfied. I am not eating it.
***
Why are you asking me this?
Don't ask me things like that.
I don't have to answer this.
I am not going to answer.
You can't ask me things like that.
***
I can't believe that.
How can this be happening.
This is not possible.
I don't believe it. This is not happening.
This isn't happening really.
No, it is not possible.
***
Where do you think you are going?
We are not going anywhere.
We are not going. I don't care.
We are staying, no matter what,
we are not going anywhere.
We are not... not going to move from here.
I don't care. We are staying.
***
I didn't come here for that.
That is not why I came here.
I am not here for that.
I am not here. For that.
This is not why I am here (2x).
This is not why I am...
***
This is not what I wanted to say.
I didn't want you to hear this.
I didn't want to say this. To you (-"-).
And I didn't think you should hear something like this.
I didn't want to say that.
This is not what I really wanted to say.
***
How could they do that to them?
How could they do that?
People are awful. How could they have done that?
How can somebody do something like that?
How can people do that to each other.
***
This quality is so bad. Oh my god.
It is even worse than before.
Oh god.
The quality of this thing is not getting any better.
Og my god. I think it is getting worse.
This quality is really much worse than I thought it would be.
God. It is worse than I expected. (2x)
***
Don't move! Stay right there!
Just stay as you are now!
This is perfect. Don't move a bit.
Oh I wish you could always stay like that.
I don't want to change anything.
This is too perfect. You are perfect.
This is perfect.
***
I knew it would happen.
It's always like this.
I saw it coming all the time.
I just knew it. I knew it would happen.
I have always known it would happen like this.

estonian men

2008-08-12T23:47:00.001+03:00

it is a series of photos that were made after the 2nd world war. the negatives were found on the attic of my grandparents. at the time, photography was not so accessible as it is now. nevertheless, the photos are very similar to web2.0 and instant photography aesthetics. on these photos we see men posing in a very spontaneous and contemporary way that i find rare.
the series is called "estonian men".
