These just look so, all over soft, and then you got those lids popping out in 3-D. Gorgeous!! (said in Carol-from-Seinfeld's voice). They look like print ads. And like all good advertising, they have the subliminal element at work, too. Dasani ad? Cat in the moon face in the lower right corner?

From battling demons this morning to this; you've had quite a day.

Why do I feel so thirsty all of a sudden?

Wow. This looks like a painting.

jenni.mystery interesting.

i took this in savannah. there was an outside cafe that had this very long wooden trough with all these drinks covered in ice. it had the oddest look to it, and even at the time i knew it would look artificial. it just looked so impossibly wet and smooth with these ghostly figures under the ice.

on a completely different note, i just downloaded an album by david byrne and brian eno and am listening to "the river." and what an agreeable song it is. very nice.

i'm not sure why i'm sharing this with you right now apart from the fact that we live in this golden age in which i can let you, a reader i've never met before and know virtually nothing about (including what state you live in...California??), know what's happening in my life virtually in real time.

i think that's weird and wonderful.

I was actually thinking about these photos the other day (I was on an all day field trip with Middle Son, standing in the rain waiting for the next activity--the mind goes lots of places in such circumstances, but I digress...) and I wanted to come back and say how fantastic they are, if anything because you took a very mundane, commonplace item and made some lovely photographs, and the red/blue juxtaposition is a nice touch as well.

All that is to say: good eye and good job, oh photographer.

staylor--

thanks, bro. the photos pretty much took themselves.
