fifteen

minutes of flame

Advent Blip - Day 15

With thanks (or should that be apologies?) to the Warhol estate for the cheesy appropriation of one Mr Warholski's most famous quotes:

"In the future, everyone will be world-flamous for 15 minutes."

The original quotation is actually quite a good analogy for all of us blippers - each time we post an image we have our fleeting fifteen minutes of fame on the front page, before slipping on to page two and the obscurity beyond that. As blipfoto's become more popular though, sometimes even that fifteen minutes is cut to an even more fleeting amount of time.

All in all though, I think Andy would have liked Blipping.

Proximity to Christmas indicator backup: Mrs Delphwynd's shrinking advent candle slowly reducing in size. Very slowly reducing actually (hoped it would melt a bit quicker over fifteen minutes than it did here - if you look really close you can see the changes...
