Lessons in Perspective continued in Greenville South Carolina

subtitle: Lessons in Human Anatomy (NOT)
or alternatively: It's So Wrong It's Right!

This blog is a continuation of my blog from July, 2011 "A lesson in Perspective from Ai Wei Wei"  in which I appropriated his act of photographing a certain gesture in front of world famous sites.  Here, I return to have fun at a site fraught with significance for me, well maybe no longer so fraught, and certainly a lot less famous.

I would not be revisiting it had I not driven by it the other day only to encounter a new bronze abomination in a city filled with them.  Per square meter, more bronze is wasted in Greenville SC than in any other city in the world; this alone makes it deserving of universal fame (I heard this puppy cost more than 200 thousand dollars to erect).  As I zipped around the traffic circle in my car, I found myself laughing with glee; and I knew then that whatever connection I had to the place was long gone, and it felt so very good.  I decided to return on foot and commemorate that feeling with one more "lesson in perspective".  

coming upon Lee Kit's work in one of the art rags

...came upon Lee Kit's work today....  ....It made me think about Katherine Ferguson (or is it Furgeson?)... wherever she might have disappeared to... and how she might like it...




...this whole blogging thing, such narcissistic crap.... oh well... some days are just that way.

in da news today

I wake up in the night and usually turn the radio on to fall back asleep.  This morning, when I was about to doze off again, I heard news of a man stabbing 4 people on an Amtrack train somewhere I wasn't conscious enough to follow; I do however remember the newscaster ending the report with the usual "the reasons behind the stabbings were unclear".  I also remember answering the announcer in my head with "Silly, it's obvious, he stabbed them because he did not have his gun with him." ...I then went back to sleep....
