Shan Qian Hui & AMO"Sh

Another angle and lighting of "Rose In The Rough"

"Rose In The Rough"---a mosaic I made on my kitchen floor till my fingers bled, with tweezers and industrial caulking glue, for Shan Qian Hui, Shenyang, China, 2010

Zhalantun, China, 2009ish

Shanghai, China---2010ish

On of the strangest CD covers I have ever seen. I saw this by chance, while living in Manzhouli, China, 2009. The disastrous lighting of this picture, which I had to snap covertly in the "CD shop" of that outlaw citylet on the steppe, makes the writing hard to make out. It reads from left to right, in a combination of Latin Script and Hebrew Square Script (note that Hebrew is supposed to be read right to left) "MYSTERIOUS AND GLAMOROUS INDIAN DANCE".
Totally bizarre. I am sure I was the only one in Manzouli who realized that this was not Devanagari. Oy.

Bust of Ho Chi Minh, outside Vientiane, laos, Mar. 2011

Yet another Vietnamese toast to Communism,

outside Saigon, Mar. 2011. Go Go Vet Cong! yeah.

At least she's not Malignant Girl (?). Translation: 'She's not AS much of a cancer as Barbie (TM).' -Mar. 2011; somewhere in rural Vietnam, south of Hanoi and North of Saigon---which is a long swath indeed.
