A Chanticleer For Leibowitz

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

When Walter visited us at the commune, he didn't talk philosophy. He made a big production out of fishing and communing with nature. In fairness, he was communicating with nature, but it was more with all things mysterious. Walter was a curious soul. He was tall and squinted at the world ...

How The World Became A Concrete Spaceship

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

My personal vision of superconnectivity: I never took God for granted— I just wanted some answers. You can't have a dialogue with deafening silence. And my bullshit detector never stopped buzzing when I read the Bible. Preachers gave me a headache and churches made me feel claustrophobic. Mercifully for a wayward pilgrim, I got cosmic ...

The best way to disarm a photographer is with a camera. Make him the subject. The ancient mind-fuck. But 'now' doesn't mean what it used to, so you have to learn a new craft to make sense out of it all. Which is fine— if you're willing to just let shit happen. That's my credo. It's ...

Any Moment Of Every Day

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Every thing is an illusion. We take for granted that what we see is reality, but don't think about we miss, or can't even apprehend. We can't see UV rays or infrared— all this information about the universe is unavailable to our eyes. So what we see when we look at the night ...
