In times past, and in Old World funerary practices, a black bordered portrait has commonly been associated with death. So you see, I'm a radical nihilist, since everything has a black border. No sense in being a piker with deconstructivism when one is awash in the dying throes of western civilization. At first, I thought my own mannerism was applied against the moribund mannerisms of the Adamites, decisive momenters, and Academics of the photographic world, but have come to realize that it applies to all of our practices. But I'm only a humble local photographic mortician that is in awe of those that travel the world in pursuit of their trade. I'm no match against the Colonials who through their media affiliations so proudly display the labors and fruits of their pursuits. As ever, form must outrun content.
