Some thoughts about Cleopatra’s Pumps

Rubaiyat

How time flies. It was only Friday that I announced my photography project, “Cleopatra’s Shoes, or the F Me Pump”, and already I’m reflecting on it, like I’ve learned something. Well, I’ve taken 350 photos or so and I’ve uploaded 137. I’ve got specific plans for more. In particular, I really want to get shots of Ms. Cleo at this miniature castle, if I can find it again (there are no signs or paths leading the way):

And of course I’d like to get some shots of her with her sisters at Wayquay’s joint:

But why, why more photos when you’ve already got so many?

Why not?

But, yes, the question’s a good one, and I’ve been pondering it. Basically, I’m playing, I’m exploring.

Jumper Protests Human Folly

The New York Times reports:
Racing regulators kept hearing the reports: trainers were giving their horses a powerful performance-enhancing potion drawn from the backs of a type of South American frog.
When asked for a comment, Jumper the Frog responded,"This is an outrage against frogs and horses everywhere. Have these humans no shame?"

Jumper further stated that the Amphibian Protection Association is investigating rumors that members of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia have been licking frog backs in late night sessions in the gardens at Monticello. "If these rumors prove true," Jumper remarked, "the consequences will be most grave. Humans must not be allowed to continue acting like narcissistic damn fools. Frankly, they're stinking up the planet. They need to stop it. Right now."

A Dialog Concerning Ethics and Ontology

This is an intervtion into the current fracas concerning ethics and ontology in speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, various and sundry new materialisms, the axiological topology of aesthetic manifolds in seven dimensions, flat soufflés in the Cantor set, and similar matters. It stars Jumper the Frog and Kong the Gorilla, proprietors of the Pacific Avenue Theater of Metaphysical Intervention.
