Frozen moments amidst a sea of transience this week…
The guy who owns the red van in this shot drives around pumping bubbles into the sky just for people’s pleasure..they call him the Bubble Man and his work is never done…
and there ain’t nothin more transient than a bubbble…well as well as life, the universe and everything..obvs.
Soz folks..just as I had resumed activity my hard drive has just blown up with all my photos on it. Have pix backed up tank fuck but need to rebuild entire catalogue which is gonna take some time…
apologies for this continued patchy service..I promise I will get back on track as soon as I have this sorted…
(p.s here is a random shot of my nephew, the living projector screen as was all I could get me mitts on)
Accidentally fired off today’s post yesterday (soz, bit rusty after break) and figured as it was a short week thought i would chuck this extra one today…apparently some old dude is getting some shiny metal hat stuck on his bonce this weekend which will give him the right to large it up on our cash and like behead people and shit..fun times in the U.K.
This week’s theme was pretty easy to work out..a collection of the backs of people’s heads. The all important question is why? Well there is nothing more alluring to the human brain than something it can’t quite see. It hates missing pieces of a puzzle. It has to know the whole picture.
How many times have you cranked your neck trying to listen to someone else’s conversation at a nearby table when you are out? You’re only getting bits n pieces and it drives you crazy. And bear in mind this is not a particularly interesting conversation. In fact if the same conversation were right in front of you, chances are you would probably drift.
So what happens when the brain is met with a gap? A hole in the informational picture? It fills it in. With our imagination. If it doesn’t have all the facts in front of it, it will just make shit up. Our compulsive need to understand everything led to the evolution of our creative minds. It gave us the capacity to make up stories. This is a beautiful thing.
And so this is why there is nothing more compelling than the back of someone’s head. Because that is where the facts end and a story starts…and when they do eventually swing round it’s always a disappointment because no face is more interesting than our imaginations. I’m not saying people should wear masks but actually saying that when they did, our minds soared with the possibilities of what was under there..
Short week this week..Happy Easter! ( now there’s a story ;)
