Christmas Eve 2008 at my favourite Italian restaurant, the manager/chef has a lot on his mind.
I typical shot at an urban dichotomy, I did nothing to obliterate his face, it refused oddly enough to be illuminated and he was sleeping so soundly I didn’t dare. seeing more and more people trying to make it somehow and so many of us bearly pay it any mind outside of them being a nuisance. did some of you ever stop and think that maybe these people were someone’s children at one time or maybe they’re parents themselves, or maybe they have had that life that inexplicably went to shit. Try not to judge until you have worn those shoes, maybe it’ll be hard, but do try Top 10 finalist in the / Sharing & Caring Group / Can Fall Asleep Anywhere Challenge FEATURED IN Color Altering Group / Mature Men Group
This young actor is part of the shoot out with Billy the Kid, and he can see trouble brewing. The street skit is played out on the old movie lot of Old Tucson Studio (AZ) where more than 300 movies and TV westerns were shot. It’s now a tourist attraction where you can wax nostalgic seeing bit and pieces of your childhood. At least you can if you are as old as I.

Tonight the new sign at the entrance to our town was lit up. The colours across each letter slowly change, hence I thought this could be best represented in a 3 framed HDR with time exposure of upto 30 seconds.

The Cathedral of Saint Louis is located at 4431 Lindell Blvd. It is a beautiful architectural structure but is very difficult to get a full image view due to its size, height and the neighborhood it sits in. It is very hard to get a full view without a wide angle lens, which I didn’t have at the time I took this one. Actually this is just the top half of the church. “Entering through the massive oak doors the visitor steps back in time to a church built in the Byzantine tradition. Soaring domes, soffits, arches, pendentives and lunettes are paved with brilliant mosaics. There are 83,000 square feet of mosaic art that took over 75 years to install.” / (Source Virtual Tourist) If you like to visit beautiful churches this one is a must for your list when you visit St. Louis Missouri.

That’s me looking a tad worse for wear at Manning Base Hospital back in 2002. I’d suffered a heart attack while riding my bicycle, but I had my Kodak compact with me. I asked the nurse to take a pic, and she said, “Why on earth would you want a photo of this?” I replied, “Because, darling, I don’t look like this every day. Just press the button, sweetheart, just press the button.”

I’m taken aback / But still I let it ride / No sudden movements / I ease my hand real slow / Then my hands are like lightning / And the bullets start to fly / I was almost in the clear too / With just inches left to go And if it’s the fool who likes to rush in / And if it’s the angel who never does try / And if it’s me who will lose or win / Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why / C’mon and get me you twist of fate / I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny / If you want to talk well then I’ll relate / If you don’t so what cause you don’t scare me Time comes when I’m older / And a new kid hits the street / They’ll say he’s fast and he looks for me / And he says I’m going down / And though I try to avoid this man / Eventually we’ll meet / He draws faster than I can see and knocks me to the ground And if it’s the fool who likes to rush in / And if it’s the angel who never does try / And if it’s me who will lose or win / Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why / C’mon and get me you twist of fate / I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny / If you want to talk well then I’ll relate / If you don’t so what cause you don’t scare me So I’m lying in the street there / And the lights are getting dim / Preacher man comes and tells me / Repent it’s time to pray / You only have to lose once / But you never always win / I smile at him with my last words / And this is what I’ll say Well if it’s the fool who likes to rush in / And if it’s the angel who never does try / And if it’s me who will lose or win / Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why / C’mon and get me you twist of fate / I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny / If you want to talk well then I’ll relate / If you don’t so what cause you don’t scare me / C’mon and get me you twist of fate / I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny / If you want to talk well then I’ll relate / If you don’t so what cause you don’t scare me.

Preaching fire and brimstone and the coming of the end of times at the top of his lungs in the courtyard of the Alamo. I can appreciate his passion but identify the hypocrisy in which he delivers his message. The delivery as explained by John the Baptist to Jesus was to be compassionate and loving to all, even those who would disavow you. This Street Evangelist is not doing those on the cusp any good is he? Don’t we already live in such a fear based society? Isn’t there an old adage that states “You can catch more flies with honey then with vinegar” The example is love, love of all. / Love is not fear, love is not condemnation, love is not judgement, Love is freedom, not the shackles of discrimination and hypocrisy. So perhaps we should pray for him if we know the rules? Who’s to judge? / Who’s really worthy? / Who are you? I will place this shot in the Religious groups as well to see if they walk the walk. What is a belief if it cannot stand before honest debate? It is not attack unless you believe it to be, I will say that is not my intent, merely to reflect and evaluate our systems of morals and dogmas My questions are merely another form of art, they have design intended for the viewer, to evoke thought and consideration for others.
