About The Scarlett Kite
Hi! I'm Scarlett Kiteway, I'm 20 years old, a journalism student in Perplex City and this is my blog all about the excitement over the search for the Cube. I'll be keeping track of what the media over there is saying about it, and maybe a little bit about my life as well!

What's wrong with this picture?
Category: print, 12:35 PM
Hello all!
Time for the next installment of Scarlett's Amazing Answers to All Your Perplex City Questions. :-D This is fun! I never realised there were so many things I knew about that other people would be interested in! So, quite a few people have asked "what's up with the pictures?" My first thought was: Hey! I thought they looked pretty good! But, looking a bit closer, it seems like you're asking why we use drawings a lot, not photographs. I had to think a bit about this one. (Scratches head.) It's kinda weird to work out why things are the way they are, you know?
I asked my sister, and she showed me in some old books and papers that we used to use photos a lot more. So... I think it's a "cool" thing. Like, when photos were pretty new we seemed to use them a lot, and now that they've been around for a while, not so much. I mean, it's not like we need them for ID, and you can get a lot of live feeds with your key so... they're a bit irrelevant. :-( (Feels sad for photographs.) I did see an amazing exhibit of photographs of leaves at the Restructure Gallery a few months ago, though.
Phew! Now I'm done with the anthropology, a bit more investigating your world! Much more interesting, to me at least :-). Here's an article that mentions Adrian from MC again! Seems like all he does is give interviews ;-). I love that story about the guy running to get his guitar - you have some amazing ways to have fun!
