I was searching my photos for: Mark Rothko. I was hoping to find that I photographed some close-up shots of his paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago.
But instead, Google Photos served me up a 2011 photo from my “Remember Me” art series. This one is placed on a train overpass in Chicago (at the train tracks by 90/94 and Division St)
The black warning is so thick on this I-beam, it totally evoked Mark Rothko. Remember him.

Man. What a great series that is. For the “Remember Me” series, I took a screenshot of the “Remember Me” buttons you find under password fields online. I made tiny magnets with the screenshot, and posted them around the city. I recently posted photos of that series.
Anyways
The reason why I was searching for Rothko photos is for a potential blog post about this article, “Scientists explained a 60-year space mystery with a Pollock and a Rothko”
