'Nothings 2009-2011' guest publication – Scott King

Description

This was about suddenly having a smartphone, and it was before Instagram. Maybe I thought every unwanted thought, every presumed-forgotten memory, every dent in my day could be put to some use. I could make something from nothing: no real tools needed, other than a smartphone and the willingness to write it all down – Scott King
