11.21.2011 by Mark Forman

Had the urge to listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain earlier...While listening was reminded how much they sound like the Beach Boys meet the Velvet Underground...or the Beach Boys on heroin or...

Sometimes life can be surreal. Usually when we expect it the least. Hopefully for some of those surreal or possibly dreamlike moments we have camera in hand at the ready. Thelonious Monk-Monk's Dream

Hello, Is Anybody Out There?

Sometimes in life especially always on hyper-connected life we can feel a sense of human touch deprivation due to all the technological filters we rely on and utilize to make contact with each other.

One of my favorite elements of markets is that you'll always find one or two characters working their "shtick" on the crowd. Attempting to engage the crowd and stand out from all their competitors. Today it was this guy-selling ceramic table ware. Led Zeppelin-Ramble On
