What you're saying is that you were riding a fixie before they were popular? Were you perhaps using a messenger bag before they were popular? > > As for the rest of the list, well, I don't dress in an eclectic fashion. > Hell, my wife would say that the word "fashion" shouldn't be applied to > anything I wear. I'm tempted to bet a beer that you dress in such an eclectic fashion that you make hipster fashion seem mundane. I suspect that the reason she thinks fashion shouldn't be applied to anything you wear is that by the time it comes into fashion, you've already gone on to the next thing, or three. You my friend are the ur-hipster. While most hipsters blindly follow fashion, you blindly set fashion. > > ;-) :-) > > cheers, > frank > > "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- > Christopher Hitchens > > --- Original Message --- > > From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> > Sent: August 16, 2012 8/16/12 > To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: OT - Hipsters and Vintage Cameras > > > On Aug 15, 2012, at 6:07 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> I laughed so hard I almost... >> >> Well, I enjoyed it: >> >> http://www.hayibo.com/hipsters-stunned-as-vintage-cameras-fail-to-make-them-professional-photographers/ > > Hipster traits: > > Using archaic cameras. > Considers creative photographs far more important than such trivialities as > sharpness. > Slender build. > Eclectic clothing. > Exotic imported cigarettes. > Rides fixies. > Unusual diet. > > Does this sound like anyone we know? > > -- > Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est > > > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
