"Art for art’s sake does wonderful things to you. It makes you laugh. It makes you cry. It makes you want to take naps and go places wearing funny pants."

Nov5: just before the storm
This. Fucking. Picture.
This picture is gorgeous and wonderful and is everything I love about photography. The similar, but different textures; the familiar abstractions of raindrops, brake lights, and power lines; and the simple gradation of colors, that may look almost monochromatic, but if you look closely you see a deep blue in the sky, the oranges and reds of tail lights blend with the reds and oranges of traffic signals and street lights.
This picture is something perfect and beautiful in its spontaneity and simplicity.

I read somewhere that little bursts of distraction, on the internet or otherwise, can in some people, illicit positive adjustments to one’s focus and productivity; the idea being that if we indulge the immediate distraction, we’ll take brief little vacations, artistically recollecting ourselves, and an instant later, be ready to jump back to our task.
Or maybe I just made that up- but I needed a distraction.
I wish I could be like David Watts. The Kinks.
