A sea of savings ~ Plattsburgh, NY • click to embiggenWhen I showed this picture to the wife, her immediate response was that I was contradicting myself - that, contrary to my previously stated intent theorem wherein I stated that people in a life in pictures picture should not be looking at / conscious of "big brother", I have, in fact, chosen to use this variant from Saturday's picturing at the mall.
Sure enough, this variant does include people looking at / conscious of "big brother" but it also includes an equal dose of those not looking at / conscious of "big brother", which, IMO, creates a balance of sorts. A balance that still respects the notion that most people are unaware of "big brother" constantly hovering in the background of their lives and consciousness.
We'll see where this goes as the series progresses.
gravitas et nugalis
Featured Comment: Gordon Coalewrote: "It's interesting that both males (child and adult) are looking at the model but the females aren't."
my response: That's exactly why, at least at this stage, it made the cut.

the posts of 2/3 and 2/4 re:life in pictures, taken together, constitute a verbal spanking of anyone who liked the picture of the little girl looking at the photo.
Now, gravitas likes this photo of the man and boy looking at the photo, so it suddenly fits in the life in pictures ouvre. I say hypocracy.
Frankly, I think he is spending too much time at the mall for a grown man.
