About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

civilized ku # 1014 ~ Vanity, thy name is Plates

Friday, July 1, 2011 at 11:28AM

Artyst ~ Plattsburgh, NY • click to embiggenAs I was heading into yet another arts organization to discuss yet another exhibit of the life without the APA work, I came across this apparition.

At first glance, the juxtaposition of the auto manufacturer's emblem and the vanity plate's word seemed somehow oxymoronic / mutually exclusive. On second thought, it is most likely a fine example of symbiosis.
