Right now Chris is on a plane to NYC and I'll find out tonight if we're moving there - I've been up since 4 to usher him out to his flight and can't get back to sleep with this computer screen right in front of me so so bright, so full of things. Like these things. I like this flikr account very much. Especially the inserted austere shot of this fine piece of engineering and its companion write up.
Untitled (for Ridley Scott)
from the flikr post:
"Donald Rumsfeld: Defense Secretary says:
I am very busy in my role as Secretary of State for Defense, so usually "conceptualise" my photos, rather than actually take them myself - In this manner I see myself as working in the tradition of the American Minimalists like Judd and Andre.
I planned this image as an homage to the director Ridely Scott who made the wonderful film "Black Hawk Down", that clearly illustrated the incompetance of ther Clinton regime's policy of appeasement in Somalia.
Under my watch the Blackhawk would certainly NOT be coming down!
I am very pleased with how this shot came out!"
