October 16th, 2006 Zines

here is a small chronology of the love like pop zines, plus ordering information.

love like pop #1 the first issue was made sometime in 2002 - a whole pile of firsts - first time learning to use a camera, first full time job, first time outside of those university gates. totally obsessed with shashinka hiromix and ninagawa mika as i begin my habit of taking pictures of bloody everything with a film camera. front cover drawing from a photobooth picture, bien sur.
miss s’ favourite excerpt:

Winter is not exactly my favourite time of year. Hands are always in pockets, and the front door is always being blown open. But if there were one reason alone to endure it, it would be apple cheeks - the rosy quality coming from moving from a cold place to a warm one; the flush that the heat of summer cannot create. When I see myself in the mirror, I think I am pretty like this.

love like pop #2 the flats are somewhere around in my room - i will have to dig them up soon.

love like pop #3 in which i tell my old job to get stuffed, and somehow end up doing a graduate diploma in library and information studies. hence i feel the squeeze on money, when what i really want is to learn how to create art! times when i wish i was a trust fund baby. but i am surrounded by a wealth of books in the uni library, and start reading trinh t. minh-ha, rey chow, books on french new wave cinema, and find photobooks by daido moriyama and furuya seichii hiding in the shelves. while being inbetween states, i am ever hopeful.

love like pop #4 means i’m getting a bit older now - my best friend has moved out of town, and i’m forever trying to rid myself of the spectre that is high school. the city is my new friend though, and even though the summer heat is getting to me, i manage to spit out this zine. the david bowie centerfold is a reference to a convoluted analogy - bowie = ash naylor = some boy i had an unrequited love for whilst studying to be a librarian. inbetween i visit the rest of my family in malaysia and brain always works overtime because they are not holidays.
