Khaki wishes and khookie dreams…  from Prague

There is nothing like a tourist city in a central European country in a summer month for a reDIScovery of khaki. My latest thoughts on this summer’s wackiest color-scheme: 1. We think of khaki as safe because we think of Target. But what is safe about Target (in this economy)? 2. Khaki is the color, soft rubber is the feel, and Christian Audigier champagne is the drink.

Photo Essay #8
The Concept of Non-Photography

It’s dangerous to premise a definition, let alone a new theoretical approach, by outlining what it is not. And yet author François Laruelle could hardly have done otherwise with this new addition, published this year by Urbanomic/Sequence Press, to his work on non-philosophy- a term he coined.
