It’s a terrible shame that I won’t actually be in London to see it, but I was delighted to find out that the photo above is going to be part of a show of Hipstamatic images at the Orange Dot Gallery in London in January.
Perhaps the folks putting together the exhibition had a simoiar reaction to my pal Norm, who once said of that photo: “It looks the way I want to feel.” For me, I’ve always loved how that image captures captures the mood of a relaxed, uncomplicated summer day with friends — a rare instance of proper, perfect vacation — in a little Austrian village called Streifing.
