“I don’t like nostalgia unless it’s mine.” – Lou Reed

For the final monthly show I invited the three friends who helped me start LPV to do the edit. I’m very grateful to Ludmilla Morais, Raoul Gatepin and James Hendrick for all the work they did at the beginning and for taking the time to edit the last month.  And as it turns out, they each developed their own edits from the pool of submissions. I feel each is distinct and demonstrates their sensibilities rather accurately.  I’ll be rolling the edits over the course of the week. First up is the edit from Raoul.  Enjoy.

“Travel is very useful and it exercises the imagination. All the rest is disappointment and fatigue. Our own journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.  It goes from life to death. People, animals, cities, things, all are imagined. It’s a novel, simply a fictitious narrative.” - Céline, Journey to the End of the Night

VLADIMIR: Nothing.
ESTRAGON: I’m going.
VLADIMIR: So am I.
ESTRAGON: Was I long asleep?
VLADIMIR: I don’t know. (Silence).
ESTRAGON: Where shall we go?
VLADIMIR: Not far.
ESTRAGON: Oh yes, let’s go far away from here.
VLADIMIR: We can’t.
ESTRAGON: Why not?
VLADIMIR: We have to come back tomorrow.
ESTRAGON: What for?
VLADIMIR: To wait for Godot.
ESTRAGON: Ah! (Silence.) He didn’t come?
VLADIMIR: No.
ESTRAGON: And now it’s too late.
VLADIMIR: Yes, now it’s night”

Everybody
by Marie Sheppard Williams

I stood at a bus corner
one afternoon, waiting
for the #2. An old
guy stood waiting too.
I stared at him. He
caught my stare, grinned,
gap-toothed. Will you
sign my coat? he said.
Held out a pen. He wore
a dirty canvas coat that
had signatures all over
it, hundreds, maybe
thousands.
I’m trying
to get everybody, he
said.
I signed. On a
little space on a pocket.
Sometimes I remember:
I am one of everybody.

forgive us o life
the sin of death
oh baby
you know that dying is fine but maybe
I wouldn’t like death if death were good
not even if death were good

For this show, we experimented a bit. Instead of selecting one editor, we allowed anyone to make an edit from the pool by using the Flickr Galleries feature.  Anyone who created an edit was allowed to vote on which edit they thought was the best.  Ariane received the most votes and for good reason, so here edit will be the official show for this month. If you’d like to view some of the other interpretations, you can view them HERE. (Thanks Tiffany!)

We had three editors this month. Collectively they edited the submissions as they came in, then each made an edit. They didn’t collaborate on these edits and have not seen each others versions until now.  In the tradition of Roshomon, we present you the following three perspectives on the August show, ‘Kill all your darlings.’

Editor #1

Editor #2
