rainy days

Sure, it's a cliche, but today's rain is so dreary, and has really got me down.

One thing I've been thinking a lot about is the difference between an objective presentation and a polemic. Not that it's ever possible to be objective, but I've been trying to keep the persuasion limited to a presentation of facts (certainly the facts or ideas I choose, and the ones I omit will have a polemic effect). What has intrigued me is the ability for readers/viewers to put their own feelings, ideas, politics, wants, needs on top of an artwork. The Center for Land Use Interpretation has a feature about a telecom hotel in downtown L.A. that seems to be wide-open to interpretation.
