“We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . .’” Hunter S. Thompson’s unforgettable Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was published today in 1972 by Random House.

This little zine is nearly 40 years in the making — I made the photos in 1986, and a few years back decided to compile the photos into a zine. Tom Banger wrote a wonderful essay to go along with the photos. And now, it's done, and I am happy to share it with you. Get your copy at the Impeller shop!

Last week I was looking up Maile Meloy’s short story collection “Both Ways Is The Only Way I Want It” and learned that Kelly Reichardt made a film (in 2016!) from several stories in that book. And what a cast! I watched the film and loved it, and I’m looking forward to rereading the stories.

Country Noises. (Saul Steinberg, 1979) saulsteinbergfoundation.org
A chart of country noises (lawnmower, rain on roof, frog, mosquito and more) presented to look like sound waves whereas they are more like ornamental border patterns - especially like old letterpress and printing pieces. This is probably what was used for them.

It's exciting to see so many photographers and artists migrating to Bluesky. Connecting with each other is the first hurdle — If you make pictures, please reply to this post or share it so more art folks see it. I hope we can create a virtuous circle and make it easier to find each other. Cheers!
