down with the flu, on Tamiflu. it’s put me at home alot without the energy to do much, so i was watching TVO last night and there was David Hylnsky being interviewed by Steve Paikin. David was talking about his photographs of store windows in the Eastern bloc before the wall fell.

He described the style of presentation as the inverse of western advertising. He mentioned that we all buy the same stuff, we need the same things. that idea is certainly reinforced by the photos i’m getting. i guess there isn’t that much variety in the basics. the variety is subtle, in the details.
