SKETCHES I: FREESTYLE
Unpremeditated grab-by skootchings. Promoted by SMINZ, who points out to me that by saying I can't draw it probably means I want to--so I should.

ACCIDENTAL IRONIES III: STOREFRONTS & SIGNAGES
The Accidental Ironies series looks to trash heaps, gutters, storefronts, signages, and, of course, the royal court of accumulated junk--the fleamarket--for quaint, disturbing, enlightening or poignant situations.
The use of the English language in multilingual contexts is often a take-you-out-of-body experience: you look, turn, pause, and look again--did they really mean to write that? Did no one tell them their beauty parlour invitation has scatology written all over it? But let us leave to Romans what is Nury Vittachi's job (king of the Canton-Freudian slip). Here, it's just the sound of the words in context that I hope makes you do a double-take. (c) 2006-2007

ACCIDENTAL IRONIES II: BERLIN TREPTOWER
The Accidental Ironies series looks to trash heaps, gutters, storefronts, signages, and, of course, the royal court of accumulated junk--the fleamarket--for quaint, disturbing, enlightening or poignant situations.
In the spirit of MONGO hunting--the retrieval of discarded objects--Berlin's famous Mauerpark fleamarket yields no exciting l'objets d'arts fotographique (although there is some vintage clothing at a steal). Success was rather to be found at the much less hyped but nothing short of awe-inspiring treasure trove at the indoor Turkish fleamarket on the Kreuzberg edge of Treptower. Again, no scenes have been staged by the photographer. (c) 2007

ACCIDENTAL IRONIES I: NASCHMARKT
The Accidental Ironies series looks to trash heaps, gutters, storefronts, signages, and, of course, the royal court of accumulated junk--the fleamarket--for quaint, disturbing, enlightening or poignant situations.
In the spirit of MONGO hunting--the retrieval of discarded objects--we begin with the wet stage of the Vienna "night" market's Saturday fleamarket (at Kettenbruckergasse), with all product stagings done by the highly irritable flohmarkt vendors.
