This particular one was from a study I did on the perceptions society has on young pregnant woman. As the title suggests, she cannot change the opinion of society as a whole, so she is whatever you think she is!

‘Helter Skelter’ written by Paul McCartney, but as with all Beatles songs was credited to Lennon/McCartney, was recorded by The Beatles on 1968 The White Album. The extract reads / ‘When I get to the bottom / I go back to the top of the slide / Where I stop and turn / and I go for a ride / Till I get to the bottom and I see you again / Yeah, yeah, yeah’ In British English / A helter skelter is an amusement park ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower. Users climb the tower and slide down usually on a mat. In American English / Carelessly hurried and confused or haphazard. Turmoil, pell-mell. Controversially it was one of several White Album compositions taken by Charles Manson as elaborate prophecy of a war to arise from racial tensions between blacks and whites.

This is an infra-red edit of the single most humorous thing I have ever seen in a graveyard. I was Sacramento’s (California) Old City Cemetery where countless historic figures are interred when I turned around and saw this sight. I could tell you it was a mother crow feeding a very large youngster; the young are easily as big as the parents while they are being fed outside of the nest. I could tell you that it was “bird season” for crows and this was some sort of bonding ritual between an old couple that had been together for years. Or I could tell you that it was about 10000 degrees in the graveyard when I took this shot and the birds were panting like crazy, especially the ones appropriately dressed (or “feathered”? “Downed”???) in black. But I’d rather say the thought that came to mind as soon as this painfully obvious shot was noticed: You REALLY know you’re dead when you look up to see two crows on a tombstone with your name on it, singing in harmony. That should confirm it nicely. THIS PIECE IS FEATURED IN: Amazing Graves. Thank you AG Group for remembering my little shot and honouring it once it returned! Ya’ll rock! And another round of THANK YOUS for the featuring in Image Writing Group. Woo hoo! The Necessary Evility / Nikon D80 / Nikkor 70-300mm lens / Exposure: 1/160 / F/stop: 5.6 / ISO: 400 (but I can’t imagine why) / Focal length: 300mm / Metering mode: Pattern / Creative setting: Vivid and actually important since that setting increases sharpness before editing to monochrome / no tripod (Maybe that explains the shutter speed and ISO) / hella hot outside (Perhaps 100 degrees F.) / No crows were not bothered in this shot. / No, I’m not really sure what they were singing; Forgot my babblefish. / Corel Paintshop Pro Photo XI did the editing. / Shot taken due east.

Controversial home page and no more holidays for Peter

Hello all, Well it seems that I shouldn’t be allowed to go on holidays! For the last two weeks I’ve been hanging out on a beach in Far North Queensland – boring my daughter with early morning photo sessions: And over these two weeks a couple controversies of have popped up on RedBubble that I feel need to be addressed. Principally, there was the homepage from yesterday: This homepage has been interpreted as anti Iraq war, anti American and anti US soldiers fighting the Iraq war. This was not the intention of the home page. The staff of RB take it in turns to select the home page and the creator of this particular home page wrote to me: My sole intention was to display a selection of silhouette / stencil t-shirt designs that were a credit to their creators. I apologize unreservedly to anyone who has been offended by this home page. Philosophically, we view RedBubble as a platform. It’s a platform for people to share their ‘creative genius’ (art / design / et cetera) – to enjoy the work of others – to exchange ideas – to be encouraged and inspired – to learn and grow. Our role is to provide and monitor this platform – it’s not our role to take sides. We strive to be impartial and independent. There are ground rules for RedBubble – and they exist to help us to cultivate an open and supportive environment. But when it comes to individual topics we want to ‘stay out of it’ except where things start to go outside of the guidelines. The home page was a mistake as it could be interpreted as an editorial endorsement of a particular view on the Iraq war. We make no editorial comment on the Iraq war – and we will be more careful to stay impartial with future home pages (and other places in the site that can be viewed as editorial). Again I apologize unreservedly for any distress we have caused with this homepage. The home page controversy also leads me to the broader issue of dealing with ‘hot’ topics on RedBubble. Some have suggested that we should ban any material that touches on politics or religion (hot topics). I don’t think this would be good for RedBubble – in fact I think it would diminish the site. Art can help us ‘see’ the world – it can help us to better understand the experience that is life. And politics, religion and other such ‘hot’ topics are often very important components of our world and our lives. As such I think they deserve to be the subject of artistic reflection – and subject to debate and discussion. To leave them off the site would be to create a conspicuous emptiness – and would limit the journey we might each be able to make with RB. However, I do acknowledge the importance of ensuring that ‘hot’ topics are handled and debated appropriately – and that we don’t have all the infrastructure for this at the moment. For example, there was a recent forum thread on homosexuality and the church – and this thread was unfortunately de-railed by constant, and in some instances highly offensive, generic attacks against Christians. Notwithstanding this setback, we are committed to the creation of the features, processes and culture that allow a controversial debate to be conducted on RedBubble – without the eruption of world war three. This is really hard to do on the Internet – because without verbal and non-verbal cues written words are easily misinterpreted. But we think it’s important. Please bear with us (and help us) as we work towards a better way of handling ‘hot’ topics. I think the next thing we’ll build is ‘moderated’ forum functionality – where selected ‘hot’ topics have every entry vetted before publication. But perhaps the most important thing we can all build is a culture that’s accepting of ‘hot’ topics. A culture where things can be debated and discussed without it becoming personal. A culture where openness is encouraged and patience is shown. A culture where we strive to respect different perspectives. Anyway – it’s midnight on my last day of ‘holidays’ and I’ve got to pack. The principal purpose of this journal entry was again to apologize for any offense caused by yesterday’s home page. As always your comments and reflections are welcome. -Peter

I got sick of people going on and on about Bill Henson’s work being pornography rather than art, so today I decided to put my money where my mouth is and support the man behind the art. Might do a few variations, dunno yet. Think of it as a test run, never done a t-shirt before so it could be extremely crappy haha! ;)

I was walking past the TV last night and a Nazi documentary was on. This photo of Hitler kept flashing up on screen as they described the things he did to Europe during this reign. I got my camera and took a few photos of it. There was something that stirred in me after doing it. I have always been mortified by his actions and the apparent reasoning behind. Studying it in high school was both interesting and horrifying at the same time. This piece is not meant to offend in any way. It is not intended to make fun of the awful things that many victims of War – especially WWII – have been through. This is rather, my own way of rationalising how one man could cause devastation on such a huge scale. I’ll never understand anything that happened during this era. Even after visiting the areas effected, it’s still something that is impossible to comprehend. Slight cropping, colour, contrast and brightness tweak and text box added.
