in the city with a plastic camera

has it really been a week since my last update?

i'll post something to keep from going dry.

The other day I came across one of those plastic cameras.

The shot of the man at the crosswalk is my favorite.

"The False Mirror" + "Bladerunner"

"The False Mirror" -- Rene Magritte

"Bladerunner" -- dir. Ridley Scott

What is the false mirror? 

Is it the eye? The image of the eye? Perception itself?

Of course, Magritte also plays with windows (i.e. 'The Human Condition') so maybe here, the eye is an extension of his mirror / hole-in-the-wall motif:  the eye is a window is a false mirror; it does not reflect, but opens into the world?

The false mirror does not reflect the world, but ingests it; the exterior becomes interior, and vice-versa.

There is no foreground in this image.  The eye and the sky are both given equal precedence.

And what is a replicant?
A false human?  A false soul?

A quote from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

Working on a paper, I came across this quote (and others equally great) from Lewis Carroll...

"But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

-- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

(how seemingly buddhist)
This made me realize I really ought to revisit the Alice stories...

I may as well return to Oz
