The Monday Morning Memo

The wizard had to fight like a tiger to win this Porter’s Chair.
Another guy was almost equally determined. But seriously, how could Wizzo sleep at night if he didn’t buy this chair for you? Everyone needs to have their picture snapped while ensconced in this leather throne. You’ve never before seen one like it and you’ll never see another. The Princess was squeezing the wizard’s arm and whispering “quit,” but rock’em-sock’em Wizzo raised his bidder’s number one last time and the other guy caved. And then he took a deep breath and said, “I hope I’m not alone in this, but I think it’s cool.” The Princess thinks it’s cool, too, but she’s frugal. Elvis and I think it may be the coolest chair on earth. You do agree with me and E, don’t you?

Random Quote:

“He gives structure, very, very cleverly, by starting each chapter with an American flag, and it's the flag that obscures the human face, from the very first image in the book, the flag is more important. Along with the American flag, there is a series of crosses, hidden, coded into it all the time. There's a picture of a Jehovah's Witness, and behind him in the stonework is a cross, so that he becomes a crucified figure. So you've got those two symbols as the basic grammar of the book. And it becomes the story of flags and hats and cigars and jukeboxes. And you realize the whole book is a narrative, a kind of narrative of optimism that's died. ‘The show is over.' And Frank understands that beautifully.”

- Iain Sinclair, speaking of Robert Frank's photobook The Americans, on The Genius of Photography, a BBC TV special
