The mirror with a memory*


 

 

We think often of the proverbial grain of sand that slips into the oyster and creates the pearl – (simulated or otherwise)  and that grain of sand is  often  an image. Here on the Shadowblog, it is (nearly always) an image we’ve captured ourselves. Thus the one you see taken while on vacation in the Jura region of France.

We hearby re-direct you to a not-to-be missed meditation by Erroll Morris and expert guests on images from the Bush presidency. Enjoy:
