Hackers hacked BLOGGER. And so

Hackers hacked BLOGGER. And so Blogger was down all day yesterday, and so I did not write anything. Hmm, there actually was not much to write about. Hmm, maybe that the fortune cookie in my Chinese food promised grand adventure?, or maybe that i had added too much water to my creppes and so they started to stick to the pan?
The creative high of the day came via Email, and it came from Alex. Joseph Schulz shows his "Neue Sachlichkeit" in Gallerie Haus Schneider Pretty exciting. The photographs are fixed beyond recognition, which is fine. They are the way they maybe should be. Very to the point. Sombody once told me that that photographs should not be doctored with too much. They should be worked on before one shoots them, not so much after. Hmm, and i tend to disagree. It is one thing to find a stone. It is great to arrange stones maybe, like Andy Andy Goldsworthy, but it is still another thing to take a piece of marble and sculpt something out of it. Ok, it can be a bad sculpture, but it can also be something quite stunning. I mean the process of creating a picture does not end with taking the picture. (Does not have to). Some photography was not even intended as photography in the first place... Like Richard Billinghamıs stuff... , where the photographs were supposed to be reference material for painting... but then his photography became the "hot item" while i have yet to see his paintings.
Oh well. what am i blogging about here...
Be careful with the water in your creppes. they will stick to the pan.
Now this i can say for sure, out of my own experience. can I?
was it really the water?.
what do I know?
