T.O.P Off, Anyone?

and like that his epitaph is written. A flourish, a claim, self acclamation. “This is my story… hear my glory” —
HYBRID HIGH BRED HIGH BROW.

Masks and the Masquerade

He got this, he got that, but what is it that he did with them ? The very first roll off the line; what he got was bragging rights. What did his access provide him; what does that knowledge provide you. Did he actually have… does he actually have knowledge? It is good to have a mask made of “others,” providing you an at hand excuse; “I’ve forgotten it all.” punch replay: so what; what does it mean to have forgotten much, what does the forgetting get you, me, them? How will this empty satchel feed the new, the *TC?

Knowing who isn’t knowing how, else I could play drums, fly fighter bombers, replace hearts… If proximity was what mattered, I’d be a billionaire since I talked with several at tables over pizza and plans.

It’s good to have a mask of others providing you’re ready made excuse :I’ve forgotten it all. again so what ; what does this mean now .what does it make ,what does it permit.
You’ll take the bragging rights, like those who have jumped with navy seals. Stacks of empty parachutes.

From the bleachers:

  • I’m more into subtle sensitive controls than what I term “artsy/craftsy” effect
  • Yeah, I’m not looking for artsy/craftsy… I just sometimes want something a little less-technically-flawless than the exacting perfection of modern lenses.]

TC *this century/culture. The new digital first users. You call them out for not making wet prints. Okay, how many darkroom prints have you made this century? They were born in the electronic age with seemingly more interest in experiencing some of the mannerism of mechanical photography — without your understanding them.

If you are going to talk down, learn some of the language; enough to toss across the barbed wire.

My guidestar: avoid those avoiders; they are braggarts, word bullies playing bar games

Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. (Benjamin, 1936)

Until it became thoughts on wire

Most children, particularly those younger than seven, have spontaneous, fully conscious out of body experiences. (Campbell, 2007, p 98)

On the edge of film

sheet film, as found in a dye lab, contains many marks in the rebate.
the code notch: put there by the maker. aids orientation and identification of film in darkroom
a clip: put there by lab to mark future process need
a punch hole: for registration; useful for more automatic re-registration at successive stages. this may be a pinhole made during 'visual' registration of processed film.

perhaps notations of ID, writing

Bad salesmen pitch fear. Safetly plug — why it won’t work as first approach.

most conversations tread water after the third cycle . this is true of all gatherings, particularly business ones. All business problems are better solved by cross-fertilization rather than inbreeding . Technology grows only so far; it'll hit a human wall. Successful businesses solve very small problems and then scale[reproduce] that solution. Scaling the business wall in capitalism is simple: get more capital, Even if it's phony money, like stocks.

The money on the table :we know that it's only $20, yet, if it's stolen, doesn't it appear to be $40 certainly in the casino when it reopens if a person took his $20 cash and his $20 chips he can gamble with $40.
our instinct, our initial response to the question is the accountant one, is the clear one, but with the underlying component being ,we know that cash, the government printed money is actual life tender. The stock, the poker chips in the game are fake; they're phony money serving as substitute during game play, during role play in the game of success. Cashing in the substitute monies inflates the wealth of the greedier player. In the game of capitalism, greed is intelligence.
Art students, along with literature students,don't do well in an economics classroom since they are gift driven not greed driven. Nothing to do with numbers ... they have internal Measure. 
They will build the Glamp, but live in survival.
