(Entropy? Order?)
Hiding behind 'anonymous'
let's add a bit to the
'why' column at right.
No blogs, please, but
here we are.
We explored a bit of the
Alps' beginnings from Turin,
by bicycle, during the August
holidays. Up the Ala di Stura.
There we saw a strange thing
that wanted photographing.
Day up, again by bicycle,
dragging 8x10 view camera
in the 'B.O.B.' trailer.
Up and up.
Sprawling the bike, trailer,
shopping bags of film holders,
camera, and stuff, quick to
get to making the photograph.

We Do Mind Candy
News item: Wikipedia entries have been edited from computers inside corporate networks to more favorably portray said corporations.
Suggestion: those who make such edits, believing they do so in service of a more benign, positive corporate image, are not clear on the concept. Better to let sleeping dogs lie, for the social encyclopediae (Wikipedia), the networking sites (Facebook), and the alternate-realities (Second Life) altogether, in truth the web experience in toto, make ancient Rome's bread and circuses look like the truest no-fat, lo-salt diet of all.
Club drug aside: if religion was the opium of the people, the internet is become its ecstasy.
Observation: neither the elimination of detrimental elements — excessive fat or too much salt — nor their indulgence (the slang 'eye candy' is an invention of the internet epoch) promote health.
Moral: both the individual and society thrive on actual nourishment.
