Thesis dances. The sought capital escapes across the pedant. Paradox rips thesis. Paradox skips! Paradox obtains thesis next to the rash. The regime cases paradox around the transient carbon.Random Word Generator
Bad Ideas.
Since my thesis has focused on Paradoxes, I have been working on how to use their ambiguity as a methodology in relation to graphic design.
I became interested in thinking about bad ideas by thinking about bad ideas. But not just any bad ideas, but good bad ideas. Ideas that can’t be good because they’re impossible to create, nonsensical, contradictory, or backwards. But they are also well intentioned (nonviolent, innocent inquires) which makes them not be purely “bad.” And with all the thinking I’ve been doing recently, I’ve got plenty of them.

Authenticity Issues...
Even though I have migrated on from questions about authenticity, I still find this debate interesting. I side with the photographer in regards to Hipstamatics automatic processing, not allowing the user to choose a filter after the photo has been taken. This is why I use Hipstamatic for my slowed-down-but-not-yet-dead iphone photography project fauxlaroid.net. Yes it’s not a toy camera, but the process is duplicated as closely as possible. I appreciate that.
