Too True

"There are only two things that can destroy a healthy man: love trouble, ambition, and financial catastrophe. And that is already three things, and there are a lot more." --Peter Altenberg, Fechsung

Steller's Sea Cow



Sometimes I feel like an extinct animal. This is Steller's Sea Cow drawn by Georg Steller himself. Between you and me, I would not be smiling placidly if my subcutaneous fat were used as a butter substitute.

Anna Akhmatova



well, if you're going to be a tragic genius, get your heart broken all over the place, suffer physical and artistic persecution from your government and stuff, might as well do it looking like this

Charis Weston





Edward Weston's wife, Charis Weston, acted as his muse for many years, and is the subject of many of my favorite photographs by him. Not much is known about her, but she looks amazing. Enjoy.

your attention please


Over the next year, Doppleganger will become a travelblog! Expect highly saturated pictures of: Parisian fruit stalls, grocery-store treasures, and well-dressed French children. Also, hopefully: travels in rural spain (possible portrait of my masseuse-aunt and the uncle who has a glass eye and three olympic gold medals), jaunts to London and Oxford, and more.

The Eternal Children


Here is the first part of a documentary called "The Eternal Children" about neo folk... I love folk folk, and a lot of this stuff sounds really really nice, especially the music of Devendra Banhardt and Anthony and the Johnsons. They also all look like really fun people...I pretty much want to be friends with all of them. There are six other parts of the documentary, which you can find on youtube.
