Several years ago, when living in England, I started my first blog, buT iS iT aRT? in an attempt to relieve the somewhat mundane daily grind of a commute to and 8 hour working day in Stevenage. At the time I was using the power of the Nokia mobile phone, newly equipped with a camera. Those were heady days,  a few years ahead of the iPhone and subsequent camera phone explosion, when Scandinavian companies Nokia, Ericson, and the US giant Motorola dominated the market. After a short while I moved location and I guess the drive to keep up the blog waned as other activities became more significant. Well, now it has been about 3000 days since I last posted on my old blog and I think it's about time to start it back up again.
This time I will try to keep going for 3000 more days, hopefully along the same lines of adding cellphone images of everyday objects or situations that ask the same question... buT iS iT aRT?

Today's image is probably a little contrived but, in keeping with the original spirit is taken from my desk at work:

My point is that art can be seen anywhere, or not. For example,  just looking at the continuous curves on this spiral bound textbook could be taken as an artistic comment on the unbroken course one life leads through the pages of humanity as a whole. Our own perception of humanity is all being held together by our own passage through time... a solipsistic viewpoint perhaps, eh?
