Acid flowers

 

On short notice we are racing around the country looking at apartments to rent and trying to figure out where to live. So it's a bit chaotic here at clerkmanifesto. I have to throw things in my suitcase and be prepared to be gone for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

I guess it's a bit of a way to see this country. We may finally get out of the south. But to start with we'll be running along the bottom coast for a bit more still.

In the meantime I'll be cashing in on some of my massive photography work I've been spending most of my spare time on lately. We'll start today with a very short series of photos I took yesterday, or maybe even this morning, of some flowers in front of the organic food store.

I took these pictures, and I then dropped the camera in a mysterious radioactive puddle. When I got the photo roll back from the developers this is what came out:

Journey to the falls

We went to the falls the other day. 

At the end of the tram line one could technically take a mile or two walk up the winding road there, if one doesn't mind being killed by cars, or one could take the bus instead.

So we piled on the bus to go to the falls, and just like that we were in the beautiful countryside!

Weird.

What falls? You ask.

That's right, we have two here, the impressive falls in the sky, and the one we went to, which is at a sort of chalet and marks the end of a canal system built in the late 1800's. It is very pretty, and also, and I say this to emphasize its greatness, not to degrade it, it is a bit of Disney, with fake grottoes and scenic cave walkthroughs.

It is an awesome place.

Or at least, very charming. A real tourist hotspot circa 1910, but still charming people.

The falls were turned OFF when we were there, but I turned them on in this picture for you:

For a first set of pictures of this trip, I have just the pictures featuring the whole gang, headed out on a clerkmanifesto field trip. It was a lovely outing and I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time, although I worried a lot, and you can never tell with the fox.

Assembling a team

You may have noticed that I have been assembling a sort of team around here.

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe to go to clerkmanifesto?

I have been here for thirteen years and I am still looking...

Layer upon layers upon layers

Yesterday you opted for, in your checkbox of exciting clerkmanifesto options, pictures of me working on my vast suite of photographic drawings of Genoa, Italy.

Today you are opting for pictures of the work in progress.

Well, I mean, you aren't opting for it. It's all that's left.

But, you're still here. So that's a kind of opting for it.

Right?

Hello?

No, no, I still see you there. It's just, some of the other readers, the "not as good ones", left. 

These are just a sample of the layers I am using to construct our final images. And I could have come up with many more samples, because I get kind of excited about it all, but I think these will do today. You have a busy schedule...

probably.
