Depraved :-))) yes, that too! All of the above :-)) my dearest Dark san, something is telling me we'll soon hear from my mentor in Minnesota....

The jabbering of a mindless ape cannot offend me. However, my dearest CB, your mentor in Minnesota will not be pleased with this turn of events.

Yes, Dw is concerned you have become ruined and depraved through exposure to decadent art. But when you do something like this, I think it can become social critique easily. "More" guides it - the piece shows the bottomless pit of manufactured desire and exploitive marketing to keep selling products. New territory for you.

I'm being ruined ;-))

Stations was NOT lame. Dw will be offended.

You've been exposed to so much vispo at IUOMA that you surely have soaked some of it up. I think it's vispo. It also reminds me of the way Ray Johnson used pop cult images and commercial brands. You've always kept a distance from that. I hope you aren't being ruined. Personally, I find that among asemics, concrete, and vispo, vispo is the most open-ended. But it also probably has the most potential. But let's not get into theorizing. "stations," no matter how lame, is definitely a vispo series.

Is this vispo? I literally *DREAM* of making vispo! I wasn't consciously aiming at it when I did this one, but if you're telling me that it is vispo nothing could make me happier.

I had meant to mention contrast and neon in particular. This also reminds me of your Tokyo narrow street/alley shots. I thought your intention here was vispo. And maybe now you see the vispo challenge/dilemma - you have to integrate image and language. So there's a departure from the composition of a photograph. Am I making sense? I can see the ghost of a composed photo here the more I look at it. You get into "visual syntax" and all that. I still think it's really good.

That's a very nice compliment, thank you. I wanted to achieve that dark back alley look. It is VERY photoshopped indeed, I used quite extreme blending modes. And yet, it doesn't look "neony" enough for my liking. I'm really happy that you saw the reference to the city of mirrors.
