Reply to concerned art-citizen not wanting to appear self-funky in public:
I assume we are as self-important & self-indulgent & self-absorbed 
& self-motivated & self-whatevered as we are.
We're curious about our amazing journey thru amazing spaces.
We choose some tools and poke around.
KEEP ON POKIN'...
& have fun out there with the others...

I don't know plenty.
I don't feel holier than.
I am sad.
I am amazed.
Firstly - every day is a horrifying day for so many of us.
We got chance and luck . . .
Here  and There
everywhere

&! We are all 'picture-makers', BB.
Which must always mean we find our ways !
There are times for rules and fools.
Our leaping-expanding digital-photoshopy-internet times . . .
Good luck for all of us, BD.

If it's fun   it's fun  
Your AE-1  or  that one
Pleasure is something else
I should probably do speechless
Look      see     click
Film      digital
We get a machined picture
We look and see    and re-machine
Still-straight   or   Hocus-pocus  
Then  it's OK!  or  bye-bye!

I'm having color allergies.
If the color isn't perfectly contributing - I go B&W - look some more.
& I have many  not too tweaky  choices in Lightroom5.
(It could just be senility.)

I read:
X used to say how he likes to let color be as awkward as it wants to be. 
Maybe it comes down to intention?
-----
The color awkwards with digital can be hella unwanted.    
Unless anything goes that shows.
No place for the old me TRUCKIN'...
The new TRUCKERS are here already.
Welcome!

Of course. Thanks.
(re: my picture of Chris Sievey's Frank Sidebottom).
I obviously & constantly find 'stuff' in the streets.
Often the 'real' context is beyond !
No Stone Roses thanks (they're not dumb).
I'm more:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uee_mcxvrw 
And anything Baroque (today).

I remember Wittgenstein being reffed in the 'art' dept at Berkeley in the mid '60s - I bobbed my non-academe head-piece and went on painting & to know that even Bertrand Russell took much of Ludwig on 'faith' = the guy was a 'genius' after-all ! I love geniuses . . . too. They just don't fit my head-piece. They do seem to be hella-good for self-serving 'quotes' . . . hope to find one asap!
And then there's my entitled touchstone grounding mascot buddy &? possible-doppelgänger "TREASURE" putz . . .
Bill Dane
! You-Women must get more for-Self-breaks.
FlickrGroup wise I now know about sapping.  
Perfection can be a dragger.
I surely do love the diggin' for treasure part. 
Noodlin' in a Flickstack.
Thank you for guidance D,  Bill:
