Wings is another shot that could easily be mistaken for a painting. A simple shot through tons of grime and grating. Suspension wire and structure providing visual interest.

In my last post I railed against companies that make consumer electronics that are doomed and headed for some trash dump. I wrote it all on an iPhone, easily the biggest offender of any company.

Does anyone else think this is an extremely damaging way to create and conduct business? The strain on the people manufacturing these products must be hellish. Can you imagine the addiction for the latest gadget’s strain on the planet?

It can’t be healthy for anyone. Yet we all participate in this reality. Some of us taking less than others. All still culpable in the ultimate and impending planetary failure.

What is the solution? How can you create things that are longer lasting? How do you create objects that are easily upgradable? When are the real solutions coming?
