March 19, 2007 The Madness Continues

Today's news, as we enter our 5th year in the "war" in Iraq, "Bush asks for patience!" (see timeline here)

"Bush told Congress to deliver more than $100 billion in additional war funds "without strings and without delay." (source: LA Times)

3,218 U.S. soldiers killed
23,417 U.S. soldier wounded

Other costs: $2 Billion per week and no end in sight.

I have no patience for this insanity.

Three I Found

Every so often I will come across a website that I am compelled to tell others about. Here are links to three:

Soviet Bus Stops

Found Magazine

RSA Films

The London Eye

Three Compositions

I am fascinated how the convergence of accidental drips, scrawls, smears, materials, etc., can form compelling compositions when isolated and framed by my eye and camera. Usually, the subject matter is simply a wall or the pavement, where layers of "information" have been applied over time. I like that it's entirely accidental and unintentionally collaborative. Who knows how many people were involved and over what length of time. I like my role in finding and recognizing these instances and establishing them as art. I am certain that virtually everyone passes them by without giving them a second thought.

I composed and recorded these three on a recent trip to London. More conventional photos of my trip appear in my photo gallery (see link on the left side of this blog)
