Perhaps in haste the comparison is being reflexively made (in the expectation grids of some viewers) between the emergent ‘semantic content’ of one image and the emergent ‘semantic content’ of the other. What if the posting were inviting us to compare the pixel arrays that constitute each image, perhaps as ‘floor plans’ to other as-yet-undetermined ‘real world’ constructions or even processes, in a kindred manner to Duchamp’s playful invention of his own ‘standard stoppages’? I doubt that’s the poster’s intention, either, to be clear… but impatient certainty and snarky armoring are always the enemies of lived and living curiosity, IMHAFO. LOL!
blaster99 – If you’re unhappy with some of the new content, we’d love to feature a post by you at some point. I know it might require a bit more forethought than commenting, but it’s a great way to contribute and keep lively a local blog. You can send it to: maddensity @ hotmail.com. Looking forward to it!
Nice
a building or a flower? huh? come back Dan!
Ok, the posts on this blog are getting more and more ridiculous. Perhaps we should just shut her down until Dan is back from his fishing trip, no?
dan has his moments of revery or photo +/- caption too.

Ok. My first post will be this:
Ugly Building or Butterfly. YOU DECIDE!
Thoughts?
If your building and butterfly photos are good, I’d like the post!
I think it does us good to occasionally think about the incomparable.
This is not a building.
This is not a flower.
This is not a blog.
