LOUDNESS .......IN ALMOST EVERY CONTEXT........CONTRADICTING THE 'SILENCE OF OUTER SPACE' WITH THE NOISE THAT FILLS THE INNER EARS OF MOST PEOPLE......OFTEN, EVEN WHEN THEY SLEEP.......


An interesting experiment.. with 'subtitles, in the language of your choosing', 'ON'......and sound, totally muted.....watch Anything that's on 'TV'...... 98% of ALL PROGRAMING is accompanyed.....like in Moves.....a constant 'soundtrack', designed to keep your attention, manipulate your emotional responses and keep you from 'being bored'......I find this 'racket' very annoying....The formatting of this 'electronic noise' seems to be Universal, varying only with changing stylistic tastes......Listening to 'Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess' to today's weather forecast...for example.....Why do people NEED all this NOISE....all the time,,,,in their cars, in front of their eyes, during every video presentation in every format? Yet, psychologists have demonstrated that Sponge Monkeys, shouting to canned music samples marketing death knoll dining is favored by children to ANYTHING that is quietly understated....and Adults are really missing the screaming and shouting, marching band-playing Football violence, interspersed with loud, obnoxious commercials......Just about anything to mask the doldrums of their unimaginative Lives, I guess.... Make YOUR Life more exciting.....plug some wireless Bluetooth devices into your ear canals, turn up the volume to 110db....and listen, as your problems evaporate into the aural Void......(press red button to restore 'AUDIO' track.....)

  yet another old photo, taken in the late 1970's, at 2793 P'tree Rd., with it's fragile emulsion separating from the underlying Ilford photographic paper.....Subjects: Tim Brogan and Katrina Motiska, Atlanta transplants from Allentown, Pa......from a Series....that did not utilize this photo....that I mounted and placed in a box for viewers to 'arrange as they will' to tell a 'Story' suggested by the photos....I placed small white 'stick-on's upon the reverse of the mounting boards, then calculated the 'correct order' of the photos that were chosen by a group of 13 viewers that had never before met the subjects of the Series, but who rearranged the photos into various orders of their own intentions, then verbalized The Interpretive Story that the photos depicted.........."Art School 'Keep Busy' Stuff".....

  ....from a note. over a dozen years ago, to a friend, whom, at that time, I knew as "Chaz" and with whom i've shared many 'dialogues' over the past couple of decades, although we have never met in the "real world", but only within the contexts of Myspace and Facebook: Re: mental illness as the burdensome lagniappe of Creativity...the compartmentalization, then unravelling, of associative collusions within the mass of cortical tissues......:.....It is not so much that eccentricity is incomprehensible, for  i don't seek to discover the periapsis of intellect or the common, intersections that we share......somewhere between 24 and 42, so to speak, wherein the trajectory of random thoughts collide in expressions that are both recognized as "real", yet, at the same instant, are transient and unknowable........i keep, at my bedside, 7 boxes, varying in both size and design, materials of construction and contents.......At one point in time....we...
