YELLOW


(Photograph by Jason Edwards)
Encouraged to bloom by rare rainstorms, a sea of wildflowers blankets the sand dunes of Austrailia's Simpson Desert National Park. The area averages fewer than 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain per year.

"If you take someone's thoughts and feelings away, bit by bit, consistenty, then they have nothing left, except some gritty, gnawing, shitty little instinct, down there, somewhere, worming round the gut, but so far down, so hidden, it's impossible to find. Imagine if you will, a worldwide conspiracy to deny the existence of the color yellow. And whenever you saw yellow, they told you, no, that isn't yellow, what the fuck's yellow? Eventually, whenever you saw yellow, you would say: that isn't yellow, course it isn't, blue or green or purple, or...You'd say it, yes it is, it's yellow, and become increasingly hysterical and then go quite berzerk."
