yokeldom

It seems a large hole has appeared in the ice of a heretofor-frozen lake, and the sudden appearance thereof, andof other bizarre phenomena,has put local yokeldom to speculating about the possible arrival and submersion of a UFO, or the possibility of a large chunk ofblue ice falling from such an object aliens, presumably, being no better at disposing of their wastes than a dirty Boeing and creating said hole.

I didn't interpret his pictures as "backwards yokeldom", although there was a strong element of (deliberate, I assume) otherness to them.

And I felt that his Satanic Peruvian Shaman Face Warmers photos were more of the causal photo blog sort of images, which was an odd juxtaposition between the breath-taking and the almost mundane. well, to me they don't show a particularly representative slice of america, and instead seem intended to capture only a very narrow and somewhat exaggerated picture of backwards yokeldom. i would assume the other sets have been similarly filtered for whatever their desired effect. sorry if i've come off sounding negative or am stating something painfully obvious here - i like these pictures and appreciate the link.
