This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /

Eastern State Penitentiary / Philadelphia, PA. / One of the many cell blocks at Eastern State Penitentiary. Eastern State Penitentiary was built on what was the outskirts of Philadelphia and opened on October 29, 1829 as part of a controversial movement to change the behavior of inmates through “confinement in solitude with labor.” Eastern State Penitentiary quickly became one of the most expensive and most copied buildings in the young United States. ESP was used as a penitentiary until it closed in 1970. In 1994 it opened for tours. It is believed that the Eastern State is haunted by the spirits of those who died there. It has been investigated by Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted. Eastern State Penitentiary

Louisville, Kentucky USA 21 April 2008 10:06 PM EST This shot was NOT easy due to another photographer trying to take this same night shot using a flash. From this vantage point, the city is one mile away. He ruined 5 of my long exposures with his flash. Finally, I politely ask him to please let me get one good shot. / MCN: C30-NP3U-4430

Immigration / MCN:C82-QGC1-2213 From Latina Lista Website: Immigrant detention is called “detention” because detainees are not being held for criminal charges. Immigrants are the only group of people in the United States that are routinely held in jail for civil offenses. Paradoxically, while immigrant detainees are held for lesser offenses, they can be held indefinitely, and they do not have the same legal protections, such as the right to free legal counsel, as people who have been charged with crimes.

Coal processing plant in Jefferson County Kentucky. This site is a stone’s throw across the Ohio River from the multi-million dollar Caesar’s Casino in southern Indiana. Read *Smoke Stacks In The Distance by Sally Omar smoke stacks in the distance / a bleak and dreary day / men working in bad conditions / to earn their pay / afraid to ask the boss / for a small raise Americans believe we can develop clean coal technology. There is no such thing as clean coal. Coal is the most pollution producing fuel human beings use. I grew up in a coal town. I know. Don’t buy the hype about clean coal technology.
