Oh Way Are Your Pictures Always So Sad?

2008.10.11
The Beer That Saved My Kidneys

I got asked that question too many times.

Townes Van Zandt provides an answer:

Interviewer: How come that most of your songs are sad songs?

Townes: "Well ... like, you know, I don't think they are all that sad. Some ... I have a few that are just hopeless ... and the rest are not sad, they are just the way it goes"

There you go.

An answer.

makaid Good answer. We are what we are. In reality most things are sad. I love your frankness.

KERFENDAL I like your pics, they are meaningful, deep, they reflect your soul and mind, they cannot let us indifferent, go your way don't listen what is said.

marcinescu in my opinion they are not "always" sad, most of us do photos and stuff from the heart i think and what we have there shows on ouer works.

Kidneys are an importat part of human body, we must care about them :) this is a very good way to do it :), sadly did't have the chance to try this particular beer ;)

wfrnk Ok, then. :-)

miclaud It depends of what we are expecting from a photo or a song....

eidea oh, beer SAVES kidneys now? lemme get one then!! :-)

who said your pics are sad? i find them rather... cold. fresh. somehow decolorized. aged. well structured. imaginative. absurd. eventual. compelling. deceptive.

this is the warmest red i've seen from you so far.

TheBigHush At the risk of being rude or presumptuous, I can just imagine you stifling a quiet bored sigh and smiling wryly everytime you get asked that.

But everytime I come here, I never fail to ask myself how did you do it and why?

... and in this case, who is Bernard and what exactly did he do?

DancingDolphin :-) I'm quite sure that a week from now someone will ask again! But let's face it, we all love your shots because no matter what, they usually have a lot of emotion to them.

etodd80 I don't think they're sad, as much as thought provoking. They reflect life very well, and sometimes thats the way life goes. Great explanation.

Mmm, beer. Cool shot, love the slower ss.

Robertthebob Agree - thought provoking and actually very Irish to my mind!
