Mistyness, Kylie and Cannibalism

23/10/2007

I sat there, crammed in with the rest of the over perfumed holiday goers upon my boeing 737 (I say my, as one day i will own it, rip out the insides and replace with a field)

We started to Taxi out onto the runway, the speaker system had a kylie minogue CD on, the air started to get warm as the various perfumes and sweats started to mix...”i just cant get you out of my head…” …Yep there we are, somebody opens a packed of bloody boiled sweets and begins sucking away loudly,“Boy your loving is all I think about”… the air now joined by one more sickly sweet smell…I start to raise out of my body and look down on myself sat amongst all this, ever so slightly worried that I’m turning into Hannibal Lector with my distaste for the rude (minus the cannibalism (as of yet) ) ..“I just can’t get you out of my head”

Then I went on Holiday.

Then I came back (the same cd playing on the plane)

Then I saw these today which are rather nice arent they!

burning windmill

Misty, musty and moody, nothing crisp, nothing real or certain. Feels like we are watching these things happen and we shouldn’t be due to the restraining orders. Peeking through pin holes into these people’s world

Ive always wanted to have a serious bash at pinhole photography, i seem to remember somebody making a pinhole wheelybin camera?

Such a contrast from kylie, boiled sweets and perfume, these are full of fresh air, I see them in a lovely cosey room, roaring fire, candles, glass of red wine, scrabble on the table.

The artist is Ken Rosenthal, the name sounds so familiar at the moment although i cant remember why at the moment! See many more here:

    I join you with my hatred for the rude population. I don’t think I could become a cannibal though, I don’t think they’d taste that good.
    I’m loving these pinholes, inspires me to get lensless again.
    As for a wheely bin, if you do make one you can use it to do mine and Brett’s wedding photos if you like. It’d be perfect! You could even make it pink to match.

    I hear the bit near the thumb is meant to be rather nice and tasty :-)
    Pin holes are so lovely, yes you must do more lenslessness! dirty dirty sensors though.

    Count me in, ill be there with my fleet of wheelybins and wheelybin operators full dressed in caps with pipes :-)

    I fully understand your canibalistic urges at certain times. The peolple in today’s ’society’ have lost any need for simple manners. The current vogue is to be vacuous!
