Marketing! Who doesn't love marketing.... We have more catalogs than we know what to do with. Saks, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf, some of my wife's favorite spots. We also get The NY Times, with high quality reporting and the fashion magazine. They pile up. We try to get rid of them, but they still pile up.

I began looking at the pictures in these materials as photography, not as a way of selling me something.

I still don't understand the images. They are all the same. It is commercial photography. I thought about what it felt like to look through them. After I looked at a few, I was not able to differentiate one outfit from another, one "story" from another. The images became intertwined in my head. It was like one big blur, but with details popping in and out.

The magazines accumulate, the images accumulate, we accumulate.
