HIPSTERS ALWAYS WANT PICTURES TAKEN

Post I wrote for Bite.ca.

What: Photos, you know, it’s not an art for everyone, but every hipster wants his/her picture taken. And tagged. And commented.

Where: Concerts, art galleries, places with gardens, coffee shops, urban parks, last night’s party, lofts paid by parents, anywhere in Williamsburg. I suppose the only exception would be Murray Hill, but they can get away with the whole irony thing. Yes, we know you’re there hooking up with that yuppie dude ironically. Again. No, we will not talk about it behind your back. But we’ll blog about it.Who: Hipsters who wish they were Dorian Gray.

When: Only in the coolest moments. Or a moment that would be cool for the mainstream citizens. Used as a joke, of course.

Why: If there’s no picture, it didn’t happen and you don’t want your Facebook friends to think your life in the big city sucks, yeah? Hey, that dude from the deli will never rat you out and tell your friends that he’s not a curator. Photographs are meant to document your life, however, hipsters will take pictures to rub in their friends faces from the Midwest. Also, to alter their perception of reality. I mean, who will believe that I have an art gallery opening, if there’s no picture? I can tell you in vividly details, but the look of disappointment in my visitors face is priceless.How: Point and shoot.
