In my ongoing hunt for online course clarity (not to mention the small list of MIA readings) I found myself in a B&N bookstore, the one that sells the crappy versions of Parsons School of Design t-shirts - 90% cotton, 10% nylon. Whothefuckever heard of such a blend? These shirts suck and on the ongoing to-do list is inquiring whether I can produce another version of this shirt in a more quality fashion, or perhaps simply a closer-to-home, renegade PSD Photo & Related Technologies model.
That is probably the sartorial way to go.
So I'm in the fairly feeble (yet so close to school as to render it convenient) art theory and criticism section when, 180 degrees to the left is this perfect gem: Overlook Illustrated Lives: Samuel Beckett, by Gerry Dukes. A photo assemblage, and writings, about Sam. What a great treat, what a balm for this Perfect soul.

Production shots, family snapshots, some garish color photos, some ramblings, some little-known facts and a clear-up, once and for all, of the great birthdate question/fiasco. April 13th, 1906 the answer. And Dukes's book prints the birth announcementas irrefutable proof of when Sam sprung onto the planet.
Onwards.
So we, we Parsons Photo and Related Tech grads, are meeting en masse this Sunday as a study group to non-e-discuss, our readings.
Now I am digitally editing images and then finding the braincells to meander through the readings for this week for the online course/discourse/discombobulation.
Love of Knowledge.
