Funny how "happiness" sounds like "a penis" in a French accent. And that's how asking what she wanted most led to a very awkward encounter.

Unexpected war related sentiment

I was constantly hearing flying helicopters. I could not remember reading on the newspaper of any official visit this week end so I only hoped there had not been a big accident or something like that.
Later as we left for our 'biking family Saturday' we were literally confronted with hundreds of soldiers and higher ranked military members. Many of them had complete gray hair: Veteran's Parade. It was apparently the fourth year (where was I the other years as it is at the corner of our house?) of this huge military parade.
I got right away very sentimental as I saw the very old men waving to the crowds. I thought of the war and all the different outcomes of it. I was unexpectedly surprised by my emotion.
Such a photo opportunity was not to me missed. Later one of the veterans I photographed even asked me to send him the pics.
My last (and probably first) Military Parade was on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City probably at age 7. It was 20th of November, day of the Revolution. Many memories came back to me and with it many comparisons.
What I found fascinating was the deep empathy of the public and the participants. There was a clear symbiosis. Some of the veterans were so proudly conscious of their performance that it was beautiful to see.

The route of the parade was also the one of The Hague Sculpture, here an example and also info.

The frustrated artist and other questions

• Should an artist be paid for showing his/her work at a museum?
• What makes an artist famous?
• What is the drive of the big art collectors?
• Could a collector spend more money on the frame than on the art work?
• Is the ego the drive of the collector?
• Is the art collector a frustrated artist?
• Is the gallery owner a frustrated artist?
• Is the art critic a frustrated artist?
• Is the artist a frustrated artist?

I believe all politically correct language began with the invention of the term "lactose intolerant".

Communication domination

At my blog Today's Artist I had been trying to keep a balance of nationalities and to include as many different as possible, and this just because I want to know and share work from varied backgrounds. This just does not work. Mexican and Dutch (my background) entries are only exceeded by the USA entries. This last ones are by far the majority. Does it means I like art from the USA the most? Not. But the information in the art world it is certainly dominated by them as most of the information I get.

Street gardening

These two first photo's taken by Hector Garcia (Kirai) in Tokyo remind me of some of Harmen de Hoop's work about the public space as art or performance stage. Last three photo's are Harmen de Hoop's.
On Hector Garcia's case he makes the observation. He records it.
De Hoop thinks that this could have had happen. It happened!
