Info Post
ONE of the great pleasures with this space through the years, is the occasional interview that no one dares to do 
or even imagine.


MOCK INTERVIEWER
It has been a long while since you were interviewed, could you share your thoughts, words of wisdom,  with your  mostly fans and one foe?
ANTIGONUM CAJAN

Let the record show, (signature pet phrase) that some friends went away
after that post on comments. 
The meaning these have for a jerk blogger islander in the west of PR.
Them comments feed him, (the god)  and his blog, always with some photo op of himself, alone or with the celebrity of the moment. 

MC
So what?

AC
I think people reading this blog understand me garden is not like your garden next door,
 the environmental situation, the concrete/asphalt
context, the noise, I deal 24/7 with the apparent
abrasiveness, bluntness, harshness, directness, no prisoners taken attitude inherent in the discourse.. 

MC
Moving along. Do you have any fresh news besides
your grouchy, grimace, difficult to come by smile?

AC

YEP.  Somewhat positive.  It seems some lady in England (Bella Darcy), will publish that review of my garden shared recently from Spain with the public, in one hand.  On the other, I got in touch with some architect whose profile appeared recently on a local newspaper.  There is a possibility of doing something together.

MC
That is strange, considering your target practice trajectory with architects and landscape architects without exceptions in Puerto Rico and some foreigners included.

AC


Anything, on the surface may appear strange to anyjuan. But no juan can write/say, your humble servant is blind,
or has no vision.  This architect in particular, works with the community, goes against the current that alone is fine
to me eyes.  Time will tell if something materializes in both positive instances mentioned or become water and salt, the rule, custom and use here, from my acidic perspective.

MC
Do you continue the old habit of visiting gardening
and related blogs to find cracks in their theoretical
frames, views and such?

AC

Not as I used to.  To get information and learn something
I visit one here in Bayamon, and USA, Albuquerque, Tucson, Australia and Mexico.  I also visit some meaningless ones here, to stay in touch with our mass news fed reality.

I get worn out easily. Let me share this experience.
Even when I take photos, I do not consider myself a photographer, or movie director when doing video clips.

The objective, in a photo, is not what matters, but
how cool the effect, the photo itself comes along. I
do not give a flying fart, for pretty photos. I am writing about a garden, any garden or vegetation.

My garden, I have noticed, looks crisper, better in a sense, in photos
than when I stroll, monitor for insects, sweep, trim,  or irrigate. It has better resolution, it looks artificial, unreal. To my eyes.

MC
Is that why you are reluctant to 
just show photos of flowers out
of context as in a vase?

AC

Exactly, please show me your garden, not just
silly, bit and pieces.

MC
That is easy for you to say/write, after all 
you garden in 350 square meters of sand surrounded mostly by concrete.  What about big gardens?
AC

I am getting tired.  If you have a big garden, take some
segments of it, take them photos a let us know what is going on. That will suffice.

AC

Could you ask one or two final questions. I am getting tired, the third time mentioned, you are not getting the hint.

MC

What the hell, is your blog...Tell us about the tittle and that lady in England...

AC

During this time I have been interested in gardening concepts and definitions, lately more. I have not much to add about weeds, but here is a new concept:
'squatters'
I will not demand copy rights to the definition, but these
are self seeding plants from our collection or not,
in our property, pavement or wall cracks/crevices  or any other possibility not expected to have plants growing. Squatters 11, 111 grow in the concrete pavement of our east garden. 1 Grows next door in our fence frontier, exactly in the corner.  Goes without saying, these squatters exist because they do not bother me at all, at least now.  But that is weed behavior in any league, to most people.

The British lady, Bella Darcy is dangerously running out
of time to deliver...the water and salt, closer.


Bonus


In the British blog mentioned, there is an interview
to some lady photographer about light
and shade, hour of the day and such. 
You be the judge...I imagine having
a pro camera will make any  difference
between 8, 12 and 4 PM when mine were taken,
more evident/clear than my results.
