I MOVED TO PARIS FROM LOS ANGELES 10 YEARS AGO AND I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK SINCE, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I REMEMBER IT. BRIGHT HOT INCESSANT CLEAR LIGHT, CASTING BLACKETY-BLACK SHADOWS FROM BRUTALIST BLOCKS THAT TAKE THE HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE AND SILENTLY REDUCE AND CONTAIN IT LIKE LUNAR TOMBS OR AZTEC TEMPLES MORPHED INTO FOAM CORE CARTOONS.

THIS KIND OF LIGHT MAKES DECISIONS EASIER, MORE BLACK AND WHITE, ASPIRATION VS COLLAPSE, DETERMINED GRIM OPTIMISM VS SELF INDULGENT DESPAIR. THE SUGGESTION OF AN OLD HOLLYWOOD MONOLITHIC BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE SET ENCOURAGES SELF INVENTION AND SELF CONSCIOUSNESS AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY DOWN AN IMAGINARY LONG WHITE STAIRCASE. THERE'S NOT ANOTHER LIVING SOUL ON THE SET AND THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON YOU, WIPING OUT ANY FLAW OR IMPERFECTION, HALLUCINATING YOURSELF INTO WHO YOU WANNA BE.... .....

EXACTLY HOW I REMEMBER IT.... ..

I wish publications would stop with this all caps nonsense. makes it hard to read and I don't like to be yelled at for no reason

[mrbeuys]

But that's Rick. All his emails and books are in ALL CAPS. I don't like it either, but I like the idea of him 'yelling' in his super soft voice, chewing gum...

Perhaps it makes it a bit easier to see the letters for some of us "ahem" olded folk who misplace reading glasses...
