Flower Art, Tuesday, March 4. Are Flowers Elitism? I Don’t Think So

by Jon Katz

I don’t believe in elitism. I don’t think the audience is this dumb or lower than me. I am the audience” – Quentin Trantino.

Being slim is the new elitism. Thinness today says that you are more prosperous, smarter and successful than the overweight masses” – David Zinczenko.

I do believe in elitism, and I think it’s at the center of the bitter struggle for the country’s soul. I want to write about it later in the week, perhaps tomorrow. Have a good night, and I’ll see you in the morning. Flowers take no positions.

  1. Jon, why does the food pantry use wet dog and cat food?

    Dry food is cheaper and goes so much farther. I guess it is bulky and hard to handle, but there are small sacks.

  2. I will welcome reading your thoughts on elitism…… wow. Always interesting topics you discuss! And….love that first Calla header pic for this post…..your photos have converted me to a (white Calla , in particular) lover……..rather than what I was before….. someone who did NOT like the white ones at all. I’ve discovered through your photos…that it is how they are artistically captured….and thus, how I view them through new eyes… that makes the difference…….. *the eye of the photographer* so to speak!
