C’mon man, Carlin’s dead. Move on.

This architecture photo trope where there's a blurry person walking through the frame.

Ugh, that is annoying as ****. Probably to distract from how lame the architecture is there.

^ this is a good explain and probably the meatiest answer in terms of actual spatial expression. also helps to anchor scale in the mind of the viewer without imposing specific characteristics that might occlude projection. also doesn't distract from the material details of the space itself.

There is this guy that I see walking in and out of my office building who looks so plain. He has this face that isn't handsome, nor is it unappealing, he dresses blandly, never really has an expression. Betimes I wonder about how many times his ******** come up in his mind and I think, I bet this plain, uninteresting looking man's penis is just as important to him as a hot, tone, chiseled-jawed dude in a bespoke suit.

I heard this guy speak for the first time. He has very gangly teeth and a strong Polish accent.

lol i keep these very words on a post-it note on my bathroom mirror (still don't know who wrote them)

is a fair point, tho, that if it doesn't communicate then that's that. i prefer drawings since they hold themselves out as abstractions and, imo, invite viewer construction.
