in my defense. :)

a: and i try sooooooo hard to be a hipster. ;) 
b: what with your instagram talk. and dare i say... american apparel. :o i take that back. low blow.
a: it's ok. ppl disapprove of my ' mild interest' in aa all the time!
b: i bet youve called it a 'healthy obsession' in the past too...
a: you got me. but ive decided to further modify it for the sake of accuracy. ;) 
b: to be more hispter? :P
a: ahh horrible! you know, i really deny it bc hipsters get such a bad rap. and it's associated with being disingenuous. which id like to think im not. :)
b: id say your blog saves you there. and your 50mm lens. passion for work. zest for life... that's where i draw the line.

there you have it. finally.
ive been able to articulate why im so vehemently in denial of being a hipster.
all it took was 2,495 years and a pretty solid conversation.
