It’s 3 am and I’ve finished this graphic I’ve been working on. A while ago I found this image of a statue with paint splattered like blood on it. I’ve been playing with it for a while but this is the first thing I’ve done that doesn’t suck. Here’s a caption.

“This is the letter d in Greek script, rendered in Garamond. I cannot remember where the hand is from. Tell me if you know. I feel bad just jacking it without a link.

It’s trite, but I’ve always had this image of depression as someone physically pushing the letter d down. To make the image less trite I used Greek letter Delta to obfuscate things.”

I used Photoshop to cut-and-paste stuff, and blending effects to make the physically impossible depth.

In the course of looking for (unused) stuff I found these excellent photos by Mike Schorr – a Renaissance Geek. Ron, you might like them. He takes close-ups of money and ethernet-jacks and stuff. He’s got some good Visual Stimulation, as he calls it, and I’d like to remember it here so I can sample it later. I’ve also been looking at Kerry/Edwards photos which just make me feel happy, perhaps because of their latent homo-eroticism. Anyways, it’s late and the mosquitos are out. Good night.

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.

Omr: That first picture is brilliant.

indi: indi.ca always was a photoblog, I just keep working cameras to death. I couldn’t afford to replace my last one for almost a year

Omr: Also, the lack of criticism among Maldivians about the rise of Islamic extremism in their islands is frightening. People actually want females to be flogged for having sex outside marriage? I mean really? People running about destroying...

Omr: Wonder whether he can come to Sri Lanka and get involved in SL politics? Seems to be quite forward thinking and classy.
