1999: Envy (“Lucky you; I had to get one for work.”) &lt;br/&gt;

2001: Encouragement (“You should get one—you can play Tetris on them now!”) &lt;br/&gt;
2002: Confusion (“I thought you were, like, a tech guy.”) &lt;br/&gt;
2003: Sympathy (“They’re getting pretty cheap. You’ll be able to afford one soon.”) &lt;br/&gt;
2004: Irritation (“So how am I supposed to get a hold of you?”) &lt;br/&gt;
2005: Derision (“If we go out tonight I’ll send you a fax.”) &lt;br/&gt;
2006: Skepticism (“Are you serious?”) &lt;br/&gt;
2007: Awe (“Wow, you’re like the last one.”) &lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.penelopeumbrico.net/"&gt;Penelope Umbrico&lt;/a&gt; feels the same way about the sun as I do about an horizon between air and water. At the &lt;a href="http://www.nyphotofestival.com/"&gt;New York Photo Festival 2008&lt;/a&gt; as part of The Ubiquitous Image exhibition, curated by &lt;a href="http://www.aperture.org/"&gt;Aperture&lt;/a&gt; publisher Lesley A. Martin.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;“This is a project I started when I found 541,795 pictures of sunsets searching the word “sunset” on the Flickr site. I took just the suns from these pictures and made snapshot prints of them. I find it particularly absurd that the sun, the quintessential life giver, constant in our lives, symbol of enlightenment, spirituality, eternity, all things unreachable and ephemeral, omnipotent provider of optimism and vitamin D… and so ubiquitously photographed, is subsumed to the internet, the most virtual of spaces equally infinite but within a closed electrical circuit. Looking into this cool electronic space one finds a virtual window into the natural world.”&lt;/i&gt;  I don’t think you need all these words to explain what’s going on here (via &lt;a href="http://ego-technique.tumblr.com/"&gt;ego-technique&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;/p&gt;
