The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test

88 years after 1930 changed the random associations of drunken flappers to the structural shoulders of another World conflict and the subsequent drug-showering of American Youth's brain synapses, Tom Wolfe exits with little applause...his fashionability having lost its runway footing as pants legs again narrowed, revealing some big feet, now on the ground.......Tom showed us that Durer, on acid, was Picasso, after all......The Merry Pranksters were On The Road, but Wolfe was not on the bus....he was writing the Story of the Bus Trip, and taking us into a brief orbit, before crashing into the Big Sea

THE EXCITATION EFFECT......Right-Brain Dominant Cerebral response to Trance-sendental Music....

  FOR 20 YEARS, I'VE 'WORKED ON' THE 'INFINITE PERSPECTIVE' PICTURES.....DONE ON SANDWICHED GLASS PANELS, PHOTOGRAPHED WITH VARIATIONS OF 'TYPES OF LIGHTING'....USUALLY, NATURAL SUNLIGHT OR MOONLIGHT.....THEN MANIPULATED, VIA PHOTOSHOPPING PROGRAMS........THE 'PROJECT' BEGAN AS AN ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE THE MAJOR ARCANA CARDS FOR MY PROSPECTIVE 'TAROT CARD DECK'.....THEN BECAME PART OF MY PSYCHOLOGY PROJECT, "RORCHACHT CARDS".....SINCE, USUALLY, I WORKED ONLY WITH MY PHONE'S CAMERA...THE IMAGES WERE NOT DETAILED ENOUGH FOR THE "INFINITE PERSPECTIVE' PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.......WHERIN THE VIEWER COULD ZOOM, CONTINUOUSLY, INTO THE 'PICTURE', THEN 'STOP' ON DETAILS THAT SPOKE TO THE VIEWER'S IMAGINATION.......AND ASK, 'WHY HERE?'.......'WHAT WAS I PROJECTING FROM MY SUBCONSCIOUS, ONTO THIS IMAGE?" I HAVE THE CAMERAS FOR THAT PROJECT, BUT NOT ENOUGH OBSESSIVENESS TO PURSUE YET ANOT...
