Silly name
Serious pizza
Boulevard sundown
An urban action excerpt from a fleeting Baton Rouge adventure.
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliott Erwitt
Extensive selection
Comprehensive particular
Fashionably nostalgic
Every sign refers to another signal in a regime that validates redundancy. Although the conceptual map is composed of finite marks, continual interpretation is indicated as meaning cascades across a slippery cultural surface.
“Let us consider the three great strata concerning us, in other words, the ones that most directly bind us: the organism, signifiance, and subjectification.” – Deleuze & Guattari
Unified vision
Brand identity
Tangible expression
Decorative cast iron and brass security identification grates cover the ground level windows of the Bentley Hotel. Accuracy and precision help delineate forms of communication, as in all systematic thought there exists a trace of pedantry.
“A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is–it is what consumers tell each other it is.” – Scott Cook
Careful examination
Evaluation exercise
Scrutiny station
It is complicated when attempting to understand how a sensible object conveys meaning. Occasionally there are elements resident in a sensuous medium that are curiously capable of standing for something else.
“An event mirrors within itself the modes of its predecessors, as memories which are fused into its own content.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Linear progress
Intentional object
Heavily influenced
Mythology here localizes on the urban surface, influencing the cultural environment. As such, myth mitigates the crisis of modern alienation by offering resonating chambers harmonically tuned to cause destructive interference.
“History, too, has a penchant for giving birth to itself over and over again, and those whom it appoints agents of change and progress do not always accept their destinies willingly.” – Aberjhani
Believe in absurdities
Persistent delusion
Potent force
Religious marginalia found during an urban exploration illustrates basic questions of existence. Mystery is inherent in both the nature of things and the nature of rationality, as explanations consistently exceed the limits of comprehension.
“The easy confidence with which I know another man’s religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” – Mark Twain
Mostly symbolic
National register
Preservation import
The question is not whether and how the assemblage of phenomena and the series of causes and effects, which we call the course of nature, has become actual outside us. The question rather relates to how succession becomes manifest for us.
“The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.” – John Locke
Affecting stimuli
Aroma conscience
Volatilized compounds
Many overt messages that quickly pass-by on an urban exploration are value propositions of dubious esteem. Only actions that are freely willed are seen as deserving credit or blame.
“Each day has a color, a smell.” – Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Etch history
Final statement
Ephemeral interval
Unending subdivisions of both space and time produce ideas of infinitesimal and infinite processes. Aesthetics embraces a view of the universe that includes some uncertainty and mystery, while investing in time wisely.
“Here lies one from a distant star, but the soil is not alien to him, for in death he belongs to the universe.” – Clifford D. Simak
Continued succession
Of appearances
Bound to time
Artifacts and idealized narratives can become revenue sources based on enticement. Perpetuated through methods of display and diluted interpretation, tourist attractions construct narrow landscapes.
“The finite endures and resists inclusion within any arbitrary totalization.” – Michael Vater
