Futility Now

The Beauty of Nature VS. the Idiocy of Man

On the one hand, the sky was amazing today.

On the other, as you can see, the future Shops at Brooklyn Yards (so horrible) have gotten far enough along in their construction that they have lost the skeletal charm of incomplete buildings. This charm has not been replaced with charm of another kind.


They only want you when you’re 17

I think that any right-thinking person can see clearly that the aura of sleaze and degradation that a Polaroid can add to almost any image is truly beautiful. In order to make the most of this, we have decided to create a Polaroid wall, which we will populate with specimens that we (in our totally unbiased opinions, of course) find particularly charming.

Speaking of particularly charming, the backing for this is covered in Tyvek, arguably the world’s most perfect substance.

Our plan is to keep adding images until the whole thing is full, at which point new images will have to be weighed against the existing ones and found superior in order to gain a place. If the cost of Polaroid film doesn’t bankrupt us, we’ll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Replaced the obvious pop-song reference with a totally obtuse one.
