certain gardens are described as retreats when they are really attacks
15 October 2002 - 1:37 am

tonight i wandered around the southeast industrial area, between hawthorne and stark and between 2nd and 9th. it was dark so i used my tripod and took long exposures. i walked around every street in that area looking for old warehouses, the ones with multi-paned windows, peeling paint and those old lighted signs. i like fire escapes too. there was absolutely no one around, it was very quiet except when cars went by. i took some pictures off the hawthorne bridge, too. this old man told me not to get hit by a car. then i rode home and stole some roses from one of the rose gardens (don't tell anyone, there's a $500 fine). red, pink, cream, and white.

i have an art history paper (5-7 pages) due on friday and i want to write about the situationist international, but i can't find a very good connection to visual art or things we talked about in class. maybe if i talk to the teacher he'll give me a brilliant idea. i'm scared. that class is really confusing. but i don't have any anthro or humanities homework for the rest of the week, so i can spend all my time working on the paper. and then i have the next week off!!!! (during which i'll have a ton of reading, an anthro paper, and a photo project to do.)

"our situations will be ephemeral, without a future: passageways. the permanence of art or anything else does not enter into our considerations, which are serious. eternity is the grossest idea a person can conceive of in connection with his acts..." --guy debord.
