A close up of a small sponge rubber ball. I found this while out jogging. Best seen on black; use letter L.

So nicely arranged, in the gutter. I didn't touch them.

 

The squirrels wouldn't pose for me. Maybe they were all taking naps.

Rock climbing? Maintain three points of contact! Working at height? Climbing or descending stairs? Yeah, the same, three points… For a blow-moulded plastic horse? Three points of contact looks like it's working for this one!

 

You what? Found a blow-moulded plastic horse? Among the bronze Rodins and steel Gormley Angel of the North Maquette? I might have made a mistake!

 

When is a plastic toy a misplaced treasure? Is it a found object? Was it discarded? An objet d'art, or an installation?

 

Three points of contact is a safety mantra. Ought I play it safe, take that lesson into this discussion? Am I on Candid Camera, security camera…? Is this a blow-up Banksy-style social statement about loss of innocence, redemption, the evils of globalisation, live and let live? Am I overthinking it — cogito, ergo sum? Artists statements do it all the time, "they" say. I don't even know who the shadowy "they" are.

 

Play it safe! Just walk away. If it is art, this photo might be famous as its first discoverer. If it's a kids lost toy, it might help them find it… Maybe it's a rocking, ridin' rodeo — a horse's "Rs"?

(Waiting for Godot)

monday's are the most hectic day of the week with 6-8 hours of class/labs (depending on whether i can wake up/stay awake lol) and so it was nice finishing my lab prep a few minutes early and having a chance to poke around mclennan a bit.

 

i've always thought the geometry of these chairs would look cool shot in a deep perspective but the coke can really did it for me.

An unattractive yet sturdily built chair abandoned deep in the forest. The forest thicket where I found this was near a few homes but in an undeveloped lot. I was surprised at its durability in the moisture of New Brunswick forest.
