Larry Wolf, A Desire Line (2024)

I walk with a camera

What do I make of the paths I follow in the hardscape of the city,
from my home, up the street, down the street, across town?

Selecting these photos - What connects them?

A desire line.

Almost Happy

Larry Wolf, Spring (2024)

Hampir

Hampir, the Indonesian for almost, only a letter away from vampir -- the bloodsucking demon.

What does it mean to be happy? Also, what does it mean to be almost happy?

To almost get in, to be almost accepted, to be almost there, but, at the same time, to be not there/accepted/in.

So, in a world where we celebrate disneyfied heterosexualities, for queer folks, what is happiness?

Often, it becomes the bloodsucking demon, the vampir, the hampir.

Help from a Friend

Hey Larry,

Did I not send you the link to the StereoPhoto Maker software? I’m sorry. You can get it here https://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/mac/index.html but it’s kind of pain to install. You might just use Photoshop. I made a video for you about all of it - https://wtf.verdi.space/video/mpo-files.mp4

"So while waiting for the coffee to make its way to the counter, I stepped over to the phone and rang up Jesse. Zoe answered ... I'm making nude photographs of Jesse. Are you coming over? I'll make photographs of you, too ...

"I laughed and said I wasn't sure, I was just sitting down to coffee, and she said Well I'm hideously depressed and so is Jesse and we're drowning in each other's sorrows, but we're doing art, I'm taking pictures, why don't you have your coffee and then come over? ...

"Look, I said hugging her. I don't understand why you people feel depressed. I've been walking around all day feeling extremely happy. I mean there's so much great stuff in living, there's so much to see and do and feel great about (I was beginning to disbelieve myself, explaining it, verbalizing it wasn't the same as feeling it, it was more personal). "
