A few months ago some new people moved into the condo at the end of my block and for a few weeks this disturbing cement pig head on a pole was in front of their yard. I kept getting creeped out by it's presence. It finally was gone after a couple weeks.
I think it bothered me because it reminds me of the vivid image of the pig head on a stick in William Golding's novel "The Lord of the Flies". Having our own cement Lord of the Flies in my neighborhood was pretty creepy.
“The half-shut eyes were dim with the infinite cynicism of adult life. They assured Simon that everything was a bad business.” - from the "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, taken from Lord of the Flies Lo-Fat
The real test of my cameraphone-blog experiment will be on Friday. This photo represents the last of my photos that I collected over the last year or so and I will now be depending on all new photos. So far in this experiment I have used 7 old photos and 5 new photos over about a months time.
