Entries for February 2010
If I was to mention Post-modernism seriously, then those of you who’ve managed to read this far may be thinking “here we go …pretentious wanker”. But I’ll have a go; it’s a bit like speaking up for someone who has helped you out.
I’m not welded on to any beliefs, but P-M explains why the world can never be explained (if you’ve noticed). Simple insights like; things are more than the sum of their parts, and the truth depends on who is standing where and when, seem obviously true.
Why is it a such a misunderstood and maligned measure of the world? Anyway that can wait.
In the meantime here’s a minute in the life of a bird in a cage.

“Did the Real Estate Agents send you?” I jumped and looked around. A guy in a suit was standing right behind me, his tie flying free in the cold westerly.
I was a little self conscious at being seen photographing let alone in front of a shop window full of undressed mannequins.
I wasn’t from anywhere and didn’t have a reason for being there, “Ah … no … sorry”
He looked down and noticed the camera swathed in black tape ...”oh”, and kept his gaze on me as we turned and walked away from each other.
