1. Simplicity is worth pursuit, to be sure, though I've rarely made it work for me. Also, I kill plants. Not with intent, much less malice, but with ruthless efficacy. It's as though the earth has said, "We'd rather you work indoors

1. yeah skimming over 1 i sound like a wannabe country bumpkin, i do romanticise a rural existence in the eastern cape (south africa), getting old and tribal with my sister and others. i am not after a simple life though, if anything this other possible world has dense weavings of complexity - in all scales of geography and investment. i'm not big on the urban/rural dichotomy either, i think things always remain a question of proximity and intensity.
4. i once suggested to a camera-phobic friend to have a small toke on something and let her camera take her for a walk. she seldom composes a dull pic these days. boudrillard put together a great book of his photos and writing on the philosophy of picture taking called Photographies (or something simlilar). I think he claimed that photography is the last cult of the object, he said something like 'the object seizes you'.
