Oh and that building? wtf?? thought it was a gut rehab but they seem to be completely tearing it down. no back wall, no roof no 1/2 of one side. I'm assuming it's all coming down?
Luvin' the light on the Lion shot. It is a comment on the plastic reality of a "lion" reduced to 2 dimensions; preserved, yet neutered by Pop Culture's highest honor: the color glossy photograph. Contained even further by the "bars" of sunlight; a virtual cage. His regal, yet concerned gaze off to the side, ignoring the stares of the viewer is further emphasizes his contempt for the "mass medium".
Majestical.

I thought that that might have been your intention, but I didn't want to be too presumptuous.
ReplyDeleteShit, I dropped my monocle, sorry I have to go...
