Spring in Berlin

[imomus]

Nothing too earth-shattering today, just a little slideshow of spring in Berlin (and Oslo).

Explanations are at my Flickr photostream. Now I can get back to restringing my guitar, a surprisingly difficult job (at least the way I do it).

Come on. Nick is not much of a photographer, but no original bone in his body? I present his last four albums as sturdy evidence for the defence. Save your insults for those who deserve them.

No, you're mistaking innovation for what Clifford Geertz called "involution":

"The basic forms of art have reached finality, the structural features are fixed beyond variation, inventive originality is exhausted. Still, development goes on. Being hemmed in on all sides by crystallized pattern, it takes the function of elaborateness. Expansive creativeness having dried up at source, a special kind of virtuosity takes place, a sort of technical hairsplitting..."
