I'm pretty convinced there is a moral here, but not certain as to what it contains.

One of my favorite quotes is from the philosopher Hegel in his "Phenomenology of the Mind," and it goes: "We go behind the curtain of the Self, to see what is there, but mainly for there to be something to be seen."

Very interesting story ! I'm not sure either of what the moral could be, but believe it's quite a sign of our times... Sometimes I find a website interesting and want to join to discover that another myself has already joined some years ago ! :P

It gets darker when I walk in some outskirts of Paris and see some housing building "so typical" of an era, and after at least a quarter of an hour, discover that I did design it in my young years (of course at that time there were fields next to it).

We believe often that the world, as the web, is pretty big, almost infinite, but in fact we thread in some sort of virtual neighborhood in which we can easily get lost because of too few particulars signs, as in some real suburbs with similar architecture and designs.

That's mostly why, for our pictures we tend to go for quality (whatever that means for each of us), to use them as some landmarks in the contemporary sea of images... :o

Ah, another philosopher! I like what you are pointing out here.
