Venice, summer 2010
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an 18th century palace designed by the Venetian architect Lorenzo Boschetti. The former home of Peggy Guggenheim, it now houses works she amassed from a great range of artists.

“I think a good product would be a Baby Duck Hat. It's a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then all of the sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man those ducks really take off! Also Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.

Feeling a bit comical tonight. Hope all you Flickr folks had a great weekend!
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Basically, it's made up of two separate words — 'mank' and 'ind.' What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind. " ~Jack Handey (Deep Thoughts)
What do we think of when we're walking? Are we in deep thought like the young lady in the right? Watching what's in front of us like the little kid? Or distracted by noises like the mother on the left?
Growing up, mom always remind me to watch the road when walking outside and when I walk with my mom, I feel protected because she is aware of the surroundings. As I grow older, I depend less on my mom and constantly think about other things in life. I guess this is what's happening here.
This young lady was leaning against one of the walls behind the statue of MLK. Her body language spoke volumes.

When I first showed this one to a third party, the immediate reaction was, "Oh oh, looks like he's in a heap of trouble." The blocky cement benches outside the courthouse probably intensify that feeling too: they suggest seating that might be provided by the state in a solitary confinement cell. (This, of course, is attributable to the Bauhaus School of architectural design.)
Appearances are deceiving, yet again -- even when the image of "reality" is provided by the camera's "objective" eye. This man was actually studying his cellphone after making a call.
A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Still repeating his-story to make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
There's blood on you hands
A smile on your face
A wicked intention when there's money to be made
A room with no windows and a heart that can't feel
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill.
Tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocent
So quick to do wrong
Your belly is full while we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers
The truth is never told
If victory is freedom then the truth is untold
Surrender your soul just like everyone else
If love is my religion, don't speak for myself
[chorus]
How do you know?
[chorus]
I'm living this life
I'm given these lies
And how can i die for the name of what you think is right?
No more! oh lord!
How do we know?

A wonderful song...
Tnt, the fountain shot is coming soon ^__^
I can still recall old Mr. Barnslow, getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to that old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped, he'd yell, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy, but then, we had some growing up to do.

A good friend of mine told this "deep thought" to one of her daughters and she loved it so much she wanted the symbols for her kitchen so my friend asked if I could help her. Finished the drawings up today and will deliver them to her next week.
Same day, same place as 'Solomon' but a different time on this blustery, wet and chilly late spring day.
There are times when I do get sprung making my candids and usually when that happens the moment is spoiled. However this time the subject's expression helped greatly in carrying the mood I wanted.
