Today we continue our appreciation of Susan Sontag's seminal essay
On Photography "All photographs are momento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person's (or thing's) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt." And yet let's tango with her thinking in this moment of our twenty first century. Melting, proliferating, exploding, repeating, receding, deciding, undying, unifying and fomenting with images.

Gaga was "Born this Way" at the Grammy's
1980's famous shoulders of David Byrne's Stop Making Sense tour.
Have a rugged week, and please stop trying to make sense of the news. Except that it does make sense. It's our attempt to stop time's relentless melt. |
