ok, ok, but you have to love the order that just happens. I mean, NYC is a little fabracated, lights telling people when to walk, but still, they way people walk though crowds and the way cars weave among each other is "chaotic" yes, but its cooler than that, its organic.

Its a good name - context is everything for sure. As an aside, in terms of inspiration, it make me think. Actual chaos is hard to represent - it seems to only reside in the abstract condition of the human heart. Everything else has an order because everything is created or made - even the intention to create is order - intention presupposes order. BUT these people in the photo create a tention against order...In their hearts..."maybe I can suddenly walk in the street instead"..."or put out one of those lights with a rock"..."what if she was my girlfriend instead"...."I could use a beer"..ok, that thought was mine ;-)
