Think Happy Thoughts


Only after taking this image did I realise how bleak it looked. Then I guess that's why they wrote it on this pretty horrid looking block. I was in Manchester all day Friday for a press day at Urban Outfitters (post on that soon for sure), I snapped this on my way back to the car. My photos on Instagram are usually pretty throwaway but there's something about this one that I really like.

It's my birthday on Sunday and I've got the day off, looking forward to finding something fun to do. Happy weekend dudes, remember to think happy thoughts!

  2. I think the contrast between the bright message and bleak settings make it stand out even more :)

  3. saw this on instagram and i immediately thought it seems like a challenge. it asks you to think happy thoughts as you stare at a rather dreary and cold backdrop. just like what we should do when we feel life's kicking us hard.

  10. Happy birthday! Hopefully you'll post pictures from it? I agree, there's something about this wall that is totally ironic and beautiful at the same time.
