Like many artists, I have this terrible condition known as IKRJ (inability to keep a real job).

Analogs from another world, by Sarah Elise Abramson
"Film. I could never leave it" Tell us about yourself. My name's Sarah Elise Abramson and I shoot with an all manual SRT 201 Minolta with a broken back door and a broken light meter.
