Inundate, an adjective often attributed to the degree to which we are subjected to the

photographic image of the 20th century, humongous may be a buzzword for the

digital image of the 21st century, for these photos now cover entire building sides.

Like grafitti, these images provide some remarkable moments as life happen in their

midst, not to mention the 'here today, gone tomorrow' connection. Perhaps a

downside is that they are 'so in your face' confrontational. If you wish not to see an

exhibitionナsimply don't go, if TV offendsナturn it off or don't buy the magazine or

publication, but when you turn from a building sized photo-image you are likely to

be confronted by another. These Madison Avenue works can't be turned off or put in

the garbage as the building sized insistance for our attention is much beyond human

proportion. Why not take this monoply away from Madison Ave.? and for six weeks

transform a city skyline with the 'fine art' image?ナthese cerbral mianderings are

killing meナI'm going to bed!

Terrific Sam! I really enjoy reading your writings as well. I wish I could write or say things as elegantly. I was honoured you made such a kind comment on my "looking for shade" image. Thanks for sharing.
