Curious Affairs Of Atherton Bartelby

Curious briefings on culture, design, and the digital world, as observed through the looking glass by Atherton Bartelby.

Hope! (Exclamation Point!)

The last time I posted a cryptically vague blog entry composed of nothing but a solitary photograph that I captured on my digital camera, entitled simply, “Hope?”, things…did not go so well for me.

(I am fairly certain that it had something to do with that infernal question mark.)

So I captured this photograph when I noticed that a certain fountain had been replenished with water, unlike the last time I photographed it. This new photograph will not mean anything to anyone but me and one other person. But trust me when I type that it speaks volumes: of dreams (of apartments and house keys and virgin Lime Rickey mocktail parties with entirely random New York bloggers) coming true.

And, of Hope.

Exclamation Point!

    I wonder who that other person is?

  2. AV: Hmmm. You may know her, actually. Leggy Peruvian chick, traded the catwalk for the newsroom, rocked the archipelago with me and the rest of the Studio 1 Set? Ring any bells? [wink]
