REGARD: Top to bottom: The hourglass that climbed; in detail, the beginnings of the crane-children of the hourglass that climbed. This balcony empty from 7/25 - 8/8. Dates: CHI: 7/25 - 7/28; NYC: 7/29 - 8/23 (7/30 with David Weeks); SYRC: 8/24... July 23.
POSTCARD FROM AUSTRALIA: We're in Australia, it's wild down here and we are learning new things everyday. For example, did you know that Australia has its own moon, which is in addition to and different from our moon? True. First, the private Australian moon has an orbit that is not elliptical, but circular, and governed by this locus-lighthouse. Second, the Australian moon only comes out during the day. Our lives our light & Happy Independence Day! Celebrating our independence from light! -- AB

The Project to Seal Off the Topic: Aesthetics of Bewilderment has now reached the 100-post mark, which is as appropriate a mark as any mark might be for marking a moment when we put this particular project out to pasture.
For August, 2013: the semi-public reveries of the village barrister.
For now: thanks to #thetulips & #thelakes for their participation, also others. Thanks to the portraitists listed here. Thanks to the vast market in ideas, images, and bits, and also to the insects that made this all possible. And also thanks to the flowers, captains, maps and also water & buildings.
May walkabout revisited (3/3): this is the house that Bonnie & Clyde bought. 5 bis Rue Verneuil, May 23.
May walkabout revisited (2/3) (top to bottom): barely decent building on building action at Dentsu, Tokyo, May 11; a nest, Borneo, May 17; Insect 8 ('Too Much Wall-E Makes a Man Ill at Ease'), Borneo, May 18; Insect 9, SZ, May 20; Ghost of a Remote Captain (Paris Ghost 1/2), Republique Canal, May 25; someday it'll be a blue flower, Cimetiere Montmartre, May 25; Round the Corner from the Ghost Bar (Paris Ghost 2/2), Rue de Maubeuge, May 26; an office arrangement with nest, SZ, May 29.
May walkabout revisited (1/3): a helpful map. Tokyo, May 11.
From the Introduction: Aesthetics of Bewilderment is mid-May walkabout but this is important (2/2): polls. 1) Should AofB just change its name/theme to "Doesn't Nicolas Cage look great in this watch (in Asia)?" 2) DDD: Sinead O'Connor; Lucinda Williams; Susanna Hoffs? Image: Tokyo, May 12.
Notes: 1. Limited run (through 5-22.) 2. The source material for the One About the Drones.
EDIT: Limited run now indefinitely extended. May 29.
Aesthetics of Bewilderment is mid-May walkabout but this is important (1/2): is there no more captain? Borneo, May 17.
Insect 7: in the sun.
farewell captain, captain farewell
Insects. L to R: Prologue (Oct. 13 ("Using lengthy antennae to come to a final resting place on a sixth floor balcony')); Insect 6 (Apr. 30).
Curatorial. Clockwise from top left: Helene Chatelain by Chris Marker (La Jetee, 1962); Karen Chatham & Lesa Aldridge by William Eggleston (Memphis, 1973); Lucy & Janis, Unattributed (Gambia, 1986).
Curatorial epilogues:
1. Helene Chatleain apparently has never appeared again in a movie worth watching, or even a movie that is widely available to watch (though I would be happy to be corrected on this point.)
2. In 1974, Lesa Aldridge (in red) would collaborate with her lover at the time, Alex Chilton, during the sessions for the songs that would become Big Star's Third/ Sister Lovers. The two broke up. A test pressing for the record (1975) includes one of these collaborations, "Downs." "Downs" does not appear on the first official release of this record, then called 3rd, and put out by PVC in 1978, but the song was restored to later issues of the record, including the Rykodisc edition released in 1992, where it is listed as a "Bonus Track." Lesa Aldridge is on Facebook.
3. Before she was transferred to the refuge on Gambia, Lucy had demonstrated, as a matter of science, that human beings are not the only animals that lie. When Janis returned to Gambia in 1987, she discovered that Lucy had died at some point over the previous year. The body was missing its hands and there was further evidence of mutilation - poachers apparently. Lucy was 23.

Water animals 3/3: Before the Jefferson Memorial. Apr. 6.
Guest credits: Apr. 8, JLP; Apr. 6, DD; Mar. 9, Z; Oct. 23, AJK.
Water animals (interlude): Some water animals adopt similar postures, something we discovered when we were looking over the photos from that day in the bar and heard two pictures that rhyme. L to R: Portrait before the Jefferson Memorial, Apr. 6; Post Pub Wall, Undated.
