This charming gentleman sat on the bench for some time, then slowly stood, focused his camera, and, slowly rotating where he stood, took a snapshot in every direction.Pretty good idea. These pictures show what he saw, proved he was there, and established his place in the cosmos at a certain moment in his trip around the sun.
Can any of us be this sure of where we are at any particular time? Or does our subjective bias filter our reality showing us only what we want to see, confirming only those aspects of perception that we conform to personal paradigms?
Since I documented him documenting himself, does that confirm my personal paradigm? Do we confirm each other?
Speaking of Personal paradigms, Ms. Clementine's paradigms includes a dedicated commitment to recycling, as shown by this requested shot of cans cans plastic bottles plastic bottles and clementine. Save the Earth! Recycle! Surely she is writing a song about this.
