Psychedelic Photos by Hunter Burgan |
The photo album above (go ahead, click on it) is a collection of photos taken by my psychedelic iPhone between May 1968 and December 2008. Back in May, my phone decided that some of the photos I take will randomly be psychedelic. I couldn't agrue because that is not a word. Some of these photos appear to be taken in the Matrix, whereas some of them appear to be taken just after an apocalyptic H-bomb detonation. Some of these picture might give you a strange and pleasant sensation in your spine, while others might give you life long nightmares that haunt your waking dreams.
I'll leave you with this food for thought whilst you peruse my psychedelic photos. As one of the forefathers of psychedelia, author Aldous Huxley, may or may not have said,
"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing ... a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."
*Drug use is not condoned nor advised by the author, Hunter Burgan. Furthermore, drug use will not be necessary to understand or appreciate the beauty or meaning of the photos showcased in this blog. The author, Hunter Burgan, does not use drugs, but rather, prefers the use of hugs to achieve a similar (yet safer and more predictable) "high" when viewing his psychedelic photos.
That picture is nice. It looks like one of those glass things with colored sand in it; and they always sit on a desk or shelf in some big office of some person who thinks they are important.
ReplyDeleteStill cool though. That and I like the words that lead into your thoughts.
Rock on
God bless
Sincerely,
Jessica
haha
ReplyDeleteseriously, you own the best blog ever Hunter
keep the good work
Okay I clicked on it; and I looked at them. They all still look like one of those colored sand things. I do not do drugs... Anyway have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Sincerely,
Jessica
fat and raw is like a chicken uncooked. Kind of like a big pink naked frog... lol jk
You're pretty much awesome. Then again, what else is new! :)
ReplyDeleteHah, these pictures are so... psychedelic.
ReplyDeleteLolz you're crazy but we love ya
ReplyDelete*huggles*
Those colours aim to blind, no?
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you prefer hugs to drugs. Do you also put bros before hoes?
ReplyDeleteThanks Hunter, now I permanently see things in psychedelic colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's all good though.
It's like that episode of the Simpsons when Homer starts hanging with those hippies and accidently messes up their factory of drinks.
Then the whole town starts seeings things in psychedelic's.
Know what i'm talking about?
Hugs, not drugs! I wish my phone took cool pictures. It just takes crappy don't-move-an-inch-or-this-whole-thing-will-suck pictures.
ReplyDeleteI prefer saying tissue.
lol. I think I'm going to go out and do this, too.
ReplyDeleteI have to comment on that one comment.
ReplyDeleteLAME @ BROS BEFORE HOES.
Who says that anyway; some stupid scene boy who thinks he has a hoe; when in reality all he has is; his right hand and his friends. ew
ô_O
ReplyDeleteThe psychedelic clown scarred me.
Good to hear that you like hugs more than drugs. :)
Love psychedelic stalker (feat psychedelic Jemaine Clement). :D
<333
I'm not too big on hugs either, to be honest. Unless they involve a cat. If they involve a cat then they're fine.
ReplyDeleteI must confess, I had quite the giggle at the Crystal Pepsi. I would be absolutely terrified if people suddenly had that for blood. Permanent diabetes from all that sugar!
I'm glad to know that there's a technical name for this clear eye blood that starts flowing everytime I hear that song that U2 sings about buffalo and Jesus.
ReplyDeletethose pictures are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteand yeah, hugs are WAY better than drugs!!
Wow. My iPhone doesn't do that. I'm not sure if I'm jealous or glad.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Psychedelic Brook remind you of Psychedelic Jesus? Maybe it's the beard... (Did he grow it in feverish anticipation of this blog?)
ReplyDelete♥
Hugs instead of drugs! True that!
ReplyDeleteLol hey hunter will ya check out my blogg? Its got funny jokes and videos and syaings and stuff, there will be more and even funnier stuff!!
ReplyDeleteBTW that was so awsome, but so are you!
Psychedelic Nightmares is so tight!
ReplyDeletedoes the psychedelic-ness just go away after one psychedelic picture?
because i feel like that would be really annoying if it just stayed like that for days at a time.
but its tight, i'm jealous of your iphone. I just settled for an ipod touch and a shitty verizon phone.
by the way, the AFI Begin Transmission thing is awesome!
I considered trying to make a video but i can't sing worth shit so that would just be a waste of you and i's time...
I hope you find some good ones :]
Aldous Huxley > George Orwell
ReplyDeleteHahaha. It looks like you might've dropped it in water or something. XD
ReplyDeleteHow's the IPhone working for you, otherwise?
<3
"FAT N RAW" made me burst out laughing for some reason.
ReplyDeletelike wow man. love it! <3
ReplyDeletehugs,

ReplyDeleteI couldn't find Jemaine in that photo...
Hah, also I think you should put up a "may induce seizure" warning for some of those.
ReplyDeletejeje they are so..psychedelic how you do it!!
ReplyDeleteamazing!
I want that Psychedelic Psaghetti. Hugs FTW!
ReplyDeleteThe psychadelic clown pic is scary. In a nightmarish sort of way. The others are way cool.

Those pictures are amazing, Hunter! I enjoyed psychedelic Road Trip and psychedelic Knee Injury the most.
ReplyDeleteI'm always down for hugs, not drugs. :)
By the way, this is probably one of the best blog posts ever.
O.O
ReplyDeleteYou look like you've been attacked by some sort of flesh-eating bacteria. And somehow, you still look awesome! XD
...Really, I meant it as a compliment. Honest.
Those are some pretty sweet photos. That is possibly the most impressive beard I have ever seen and I have seen many of them. :)
