EvilGentleman: The art/vandalism debate will go on forever, because both sides are correct. Many graffiti pieces are unquestionably artistic masterpieces. I have seen many pieces that are absolutely mind-boggling, provoke intelligent thought and debate, and are just......

Kari: What amazes me, seriously, is that this debate isn't just about Norman. It's about the sameness that we have spread across the US. The original set of photographs, honestly, could have been taken......

EvilGentleman: Judging from the responses to his articles, I would say that Scott Sargent has managed to piss off a lot of people with the "Most Boring Towns" series. I personally do not find it wise......

aer suzuki: yeah that must be it, because the other half of the problem is having the trees/ground come out too dark. my camera only shoots .jpg and doesn't do well with sky & landscape combinations sometimes.......

EvilGentleman: I find the quote from the landscaper near the lake of, "We can't afford to let this nature go." to be quite hilarious. The **sinkhole** is nature, not the artificial preservation of the lake. But......
