Dave Geeting is 20 and trapped inside the body of an 80-year old man.

MOSSLESS: How do you tell your stories?
DAVE GEETING: I make photographs really primitively. I get up and leave and don’t think about anything. I don’t remember taking half of my pictures. When I get film back from the lab every few days I don’t really try to make sense of it. I’d rather keep my subconscious separate from that part of my brain that ruins all those little secrets. I make strange edits of shit that I saw that week. I enjoy talking about my work to an extent but I’d rather let the images speak for themselves. It confuses the shit out of me. I want it to confuse the shit out of you.

ML: What do you shoot with?
DG: People are always kind of surprised by this, but I primarily use a 35mm Canon Rebel with some goofy generic 28mm lens that wasn’t even made by Canon. I acquired this thing from my brother’s ex-girlfriend when my old camera got stolen. She rules. I’d say about 30% of the photos I took this past summer/autumn were taken with this hilarious Fujifilm point & shoot that I bought off of craigslist for $10. This thing is so mom-and-dad. It’s so innocent and dumb. Since then I have decided to step up my game a bit; I just bought a Yashica T4 and it’s been treating me really well. Does anyone know what Carl Zeiss looks like? Is his portrait tattoo-worthy?

ML: How’s Williamsburg?
DG: Williamsburg is like Disneyworld if Disneyworld was sucked of all its charm and everyone was completely jaded and 15 years older and thought they knew about art and fashion. I live on the south side though, right next to the bridge. It’s not as wack. Actually I lied, it’s pretty wack. Except for the 24-hour bodega next to my house which has a badass beer selection and incredible sandwiches. Last year I lived in the basement of a loft building in Bushwick with 4 other dudes and all kinds of roaches and monsters. I was high for months on end and never saw the light of day. I consider this an upgrade.

ML: Bobby Doherty was passed out when I met you guys at your place two months ago. How many internet photo celebrities do you know?
DG: Is this a real question? I’m not about to name drop all my friends. I’m not gonna be that guy. Bobby and I have been friends way before anyone followed our fake lives on the internet. I think that’s the case with most of the people I am associated with. Lately there have been a few instances where the Internet hands me some new real-life friends and travel opportunities. I’m okay with that. Yeah, I think it’s weird, but I’m okay with that.
