Taking inspiration from the surrational images of photographer Scott Mutter, what images come from the minds of the dwellars?

see, i'm nowhere near creative enough to come up with something like that. my friend ann had a calendar of photos by someone (don't recall if it was that man or another) and it was really intriguing.

I don't know if it's so much creativity as it is the complete lack of anything better to do at work...

try hitting poster websites like Art.com , bare walls , and all posters . Just looking at vintage ads or black and white photography you can start to picture them coming together as one... e.g., the Ansel Adams photo--I found that poster and saw the winding river, then I came across a traffic jam photo on a winding road... It's kind of like playing the match game.

Take this example...
found the Eiffel tower at Allposters, and the kitty at rate my kitten ... I put 2 and 2 together for...

Ike's owner -
you don't happen to live in Austin, do you?

Ike_is_my_Cat · 06-05-2002, 03:53 PM

nope. Memphis... unless you want to hire me... then I could live in Austin

That Guy · 06-05-2002, 04:29 PM

Just curious... I thought I recognized the cat.

Memphis, huh? (That's a <a href="http://www.elvis.com/">fried peanut-butter and 'nanner sandwich</a>, folks.)

Ike_is_my_Cat · 06-05-2002, 04:35 PM

that's not my cat... this is my cat.

and, happily, I've never been inside graceland, and have only been to one vigil (P.S.A: liquor makes you do stupid things, children)

Ike -

You know that this ( http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/esp2.html ) is a sham, right?

That Guy · 06-05-2002, 04:46 PM

I thought it was cool the first time I sawr (Brit-style) it. Of course I <i>had</i> to know how they worked it, so I wrote down every card before and after. Lo' and behold - I am the masked magician.

ps - great looking cat!

Ike_is_my_Cat · 06-05-2002, 04:53 PM

yeah.... they're different cards.
got my faux-ivy league education workin' on that one
