Mystical Witness...: The basis of an individual's existence is governed by self-dertermination. The distinction which is made to those who fail & refuse to fall through the cracks of an industrialized society is based primarily in the construction of self in relation to others.

in response to henry horner projects

jeeff: cheeky.

in response to Service Information?

GGP: I am intrigued! Great image. Wish I was able to read the text--it is so beautiful!

in response to Oktyabrskaya

GGP: it's a cool way to play because out of 50 shots there is maybe 1 good one. I like not knowing until I get home whether, and how, I hit the jackpot. the lack of control is healthy and fun.

in response to W train

GGP: this is great & so true!
