colors

Burano, Italy

sometimes i long for colors...the weird thing about being in the city and in the name of progress and modernity, well, everything actually is becoming more uniform. ironically. one might check out the town homes with gray colors and uniform structures...

one thing about this town in italy is that, well, the designs of the homes and the crazy colors are unique...one takes time to work at these homes and place in different 'identities' in each..ironically, as we in America long for individuality, we actually seek more uniformity...and thats partly why advertising works...its not that its wrong...but i think we have also prized individuality to the point that we have a skewed view of communal being and what it means to be an individual as part of the community.
