Someone asked me the other day what it feels like to see all my 'old stuff' reappearing, at long last, in digital. And I had to smile because to me it doesn't feel like 'old stuff.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I continue to be interested in new things that seem old and old things that seem new.
I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all.
I don't feel that old, but when I talk to these kids, I do feel old. Because I'm talking about taxes and all this other stuff that is very, very boring. And these guys are talking about music, and I'm like, 'Oh, I remember those days.'
The older you get, the more you find yourself looking for things you used to see and liked when you were younger.
The older I get, the less I obsess about material stuff. In fact, stuff has become the enemy. There always seems to be more of it than I have storage in my house!
Everything that's old is new, and everything that's new is old.
I'm used to watching old movies of myself.
I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.
When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
I am just pitifully nostalgic. I can't help but roll my eyes at myself frequently. I mean, I still shoot black-and-white film. And I am constantly reminiscing about the 'good old days.' I'm 28 years old. There haven't even been that many 'good old days.' But still, I love to look back.
