art vacation!!!

took a morning out in edinburgh: awoke to an immediate walk about in greenside, the topmost hill overseeing the city, to view the view and enjoy the 17th century monuments to persian canons, mathmaticions, and the celts. from there i went to see the royal academy of scottish art, the national gallery, and then the fruit market art gallery ( http://www.fruitmarket.co.uk/ ).

here are some images of things i saw.

this fellow's work was predominantly about talking to those who looked at his images, so i hung out with him for quite a long while. there is a chance we will be hanging out again: he seemed to appreciate my feedback and i was quite interested in his ideas.
