CARAVANSARY

Caravansary - This year we will create a caravansary that occupies the crossroads of a dreamland: a bazaar of the bizarre wherein treasures of every sort, from every land and age, flow in and out to be flaunted, lost, exploited and discovered. This is not a tourist destination, but a home for travelers who come here bearing gifts. Amid the twisting and the turnings of its souk, participants will come upon an inexhaustible array of teeming goods and unexpected services. Anyone may pose as 'merchant' here, and anyone may play a 'customer', but nothing in this strange emporium shall have a purchase price — no quid, no pro, no quo — no trade at all will be allowed in this ambiguous arcade. According to a rule of desert hospitality, the only thing of value in this 'marketplace' will be one's interaction with a fellow human being.

It is El Pulpo Mechanico... or a skewed sillouette of it, from a photo. A quick thing, in any case, from a not nearly side view picture of it. I could do better.

I knew what it was and was charmed. Do it better if you want, but rest assured at least one person saw your vision from this.

Good job.

I mean, I like your photoshopped stuff, it's fun. But that is a whole 'nother level. And even that you took other images, well, you still had to compose the final image. That takes an eye.

Douglas Fairbanks, Senior. Never seen it.


I did see "Son of the Sheik" with Rudolf Valentino in it. Cheesey movie--but he really did have some presence.

"Circuit Chautauqua is among the most significant and most often overlooked influences in early twentieth-century United States history. In the years before radio and television, hundreds of millions of people in thousands of rural communities learned about the great issues of their age and enjoyed entertainment from around the world without traveling further than their own towns' Main Street." - from Library of Congress archives
