Break Check

I'd like to take this time to thank riko for making this icon. I'd also like to thank photoshop for allowing her to make it, livejournal for allowing me to use it, Vienna Teng for providing the photograph and, of course, the internet, without which none of this would have been possible.

The Oscars! I'm watching them RIGHT NOW; updating from my parents' hot new "why couldn't I have been born two years later" laptop. (It. Is so. HOT! I am insanely jealous.)

( Quick thoughts )

This picture is different from every other picture of The Gates because it has me in it. I must have seen a million photographs of them by now. Transience in art is all very well, but how transient is it really when ten million people go to see a piece of "temporary" art, take pictures, and then post those pictures to the internet? (Because the internet is permanent, hahaha, but you see my point?)

That said, have some more. They're big, sorry: no image editing program and I'm pressed for time. Also, the gloves I'm wearing in the first one? Worth hundreds of dollars and I found them abandonned on a park bench. Score!

Internet access will be spotty for the next few days. It's not that I can't, it's just that I'm on vacation.
