Age of Hooper (The): Code Pink

September 25, 2008

That's all folks!

OK like I said ... I'm not for the nationalization of Wall Street either.

This set of posts was more of an experiment ... a way of seeing if/how a live photo-blog could be accomplished in this type of setting.

It can be done ... even if clumsily and holding an umbrella. So now I know.

The drawback is video, of course, as that is not a feature if the iPhone ... yet. Plus the battery problem ... I've got to come fully juiced and use the iPhone sparingly. I'll definitely have to pack another digital for subsequent uploading.

And I have a dinner date ... So until next time!

I'm here

You know it's a sad day when I myself make up a significant percentage of any protest ...

What is the Age of Hooper?

'The builders did not know the uses to which their work would descend; they made a new house with the stones of the old castle; year by year, generation after generation, they enriched and extended it; year by year the great harvest of timber in the park grew to ripeness; until, in sudden frost, came the Age of Hooper; the place was desolate and the work all brought to nothing; Quomodo sedet sola civitas. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." ..... Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Bruce Catton: A Stillness at Appomattox
A taste: "The men of this army left books and letters behind them, and in these there is remarkable testimony that the men who marched away from winter quarters that morning took a last look back and saw a golden haze which, even at the moment of looking, they knew they would never see again. They tell how the birds were singing, and how the warm scented air came rolling up the river valley, and how they noticed things like wildflowers and the young green leaves, and they speak of the moving pageant which they saw and of which they themselves were part. "Everything," wrote a youth from Maine, "was bright and blowing." It would never be like this again, and young soldiers in a land that would honor them and then tolerate them and finally forget them, would look back on this one morning and see in it something that came from beyond the rim of the world."
