"I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything." - John Steinbeck
Car chases and throwing people through plate glass windows. Art that involves electric lights or running water or both. Fireworks and Racing Trophies. Conspiracy Theories in Neon. Vintage Lawn Chair Lamps. Photographic Roadside Souvenirs. Hula Girls with old microphones. Reducing every language to a neutral musical score. Fire escapes and alleyways. Scary Roof.
"Followers of obsolete unthinkable trades, doodling in Etruscan, addicts of drugs not yet synthesized, black marketeers of World War III, excisors of telepathic sensitivity, osteopaths of the spirit, investigators of infractions denounced by bland paranoid chess players, servers of fragmentary warrants taken down in hebephrenic shorthand charging unspeakable mutilations of the spirit, officials of unconstituted police states, brokers of exquisite dreams and nostalgias tested on the sensitized cells of junk sickness and bartered for raw materials of the will, drinkers of the Heavy Fluid sealed in translucent amber of dreams."
