The Rosslyn, Virginia, skyline, across the Key Bridge from Georgetown.

I call this digital photo, taken in July 2009:

"Rosslyn."

I call this photo, taken at the same time:

"Rosslyn - 2."

Rosslyn is "The Corporate" - the reality principle of 2009. If Washington allowed it, there would be skyscrapers at this location. Ironically, it's also de facto Georgetown real-estate with some of the best views in Washington, D.C. The "life-space" has been squeezed out - today it exists primarily in 2 places, the "rich ghetto" and the "poor ghetto."

Compare with notions of the "Simulacrum."
