I am always attracted to strange or funny signs, or to interesting juxtapositions of sign and real life. I think that advertisements are one of the best expressions of the spirit of the time. When I was in New York in May 2000 I was struck by all the billboards advertising dot.coms. I wonder what I will find when I return there in a couple of weeks?
