More From John Kenneth Galbraith

The whole point of camp is to dethrone the serious. camp is playful, anti-serious. more precisely, camp involves a new, more complex relation to "the serious." one can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.
Serious Relation Camps
Mr. bush has squandered the hard-built paternity of 40 years. but so has the party, and so have its leaders. if they had pushed away for serious reasons, they could have separated the party's fortunes from the president's. this would have left a painfully broken party, but they wouldn't be left with a ruined brand,- as they all say, speaking the language of marketing. and they speak that language because they are marketers, not thinkers. not serious about policy. not serious about ideas. and not serious about leadership, only followership.
Party Years Ideas
I do not say correct or savory. i do not say seemly or even natural. i say serious. sensationally serious. unspeakably serious. solemnly, recklessly, blissfully serious.

'why so serious?!'. he sticks the blade in my mouth. 'let's put a smile on that face!' and why so serious?

The greatest compliment that i know how to pay another photographer is to say, 'i never would have made that photograph myself. i'm sure glad you did.' you hope along the way that maybe, once in a while, you do that for someone else.
Photography Pay Way
A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it - by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.
