Our town has some art printing studios, one of which is the perky Firecracker Press on Cherokee Street. They were open during studio open house weekend but not to just show their work. When I stopped by, the staff was doing mini-dramas, sort of tiny Dada theater that was entertaining and at times hilarious. More about that tomorrow.
I saw this old print lying on a table while while watching the show. The Missouri state capitol in Jefferson City is another undistinguished neo-classical government building built during the Depression (the old one, not the one we may have started yesterday). Pretty cool image, maybe with more meaning than the publisher intended. So this is Missouri? Well, what is Missouri? What is reality? Is reality an illusion? If so, does that mean Missouri is an illusion? All of a sudden I start hearing Jimi Hendrix playing Purple Haze in my head.

Any stream of thought that ends with Purple Haze can't be bad, especially for a photographer. . . . "Excuse me while I kiss the sky."
I didn't know big buildings were built during the great depression.
Un bon Purple Haze cela fait du bien des fois et puis on vole avec hendrix quoi de mieux ;o)) sinon c'est une belle gravure
