I debated going the subtle route. Just letting words of this brilliant, moving song written by Woody Guthrie in 1948, about the tragic plan crash in Southern California, killing 4 Americans and 28 migrant farm workers who were being deported from California back to Mexico.
But I have some thoughts on this topic I would like to express.
When I was 12 to 18yo I worked every summer on a dairy farm in NE Indiana. Honestly I give this much credit for the man I grew into. With that said there is no harder life than working the fields.
Fast forward to adult me, I spent my 40 year working life in the construction industry. I have the privilege to have worked with many hard working, family focused, immigrants from nearly every continent on earth. Some were 1st or 2nd generation Americans some naturalized citizens, some were holders of green cards and I am sure some were undocumented. Personally In my own company everyone filled out the I-9 form that all employers are required to keep.
I have lived my whole life in a state that once was part of Mexico, (other than my summers on the farm) 40% of Californians identify as Hispanic or Latino, representing the largest ethnic group in the state. I am saddened and pretty fucking pissed off by this attack on this vulnerable population by ICE & other federal law enforcement. This overreach where you are picked up merely for the color of your skin or your place of employment is racism in its clearest definition. You have to ask yourself the rhetorical question why you never see the boss being held in account having employed the undocumented?
Why do these federal law enforcement officers choose to cover their faces with mask? Why wont they identify what agency they are affiliated with? When I was kid it was the bad guys who wore the mask.
Before you say "Kidd wants open borders" I in fact do not. I want work permits, I want pathways for the worthy to live here legally without the fear of being rounded up by masked men and sent some black shithole prison in El Salvador without due process.
We are a nation of immigrants, we need to stop the repugnant bullshit, it service no purpose other than make Steven Millers limp dick hard and line his pockets in his investments in Palantir, one of ICE’s most prominent contractors.
Ok done ......Sorry but I feel like a salmon swimming up stream.
Peace Out
Kidd

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"
My father's own father, he waded that river,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees,
And they rode the truck till they took down and died.
Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted,
Our work contract's out and we have to move on;
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border,
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts,
We died in your valleys and died on your plains.
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees"
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?

It's Not A Debate of Policy, It Is A Question Of Morality
To"wag the dog" means to distract attention away from a political scandal, often through military action.
16 Million Americans could lose their health insurance so Billionaires can have a tax cut.

Second party at home in the evening. Just for our family.
She is the last possible niece or nephew.
I have two nephews and one niece. My nephews are her older brothers (21yo and 18yo).
A very sad week this week as it will be our final one with our wee boy JD. At 18YO he has done well to make it back to Aus but has sadly gone downhill very quickly due to kidney failure. This week he is getting all of his favourite things.

Since Aubrey turned two, I’ve been making a portrait of my boys every year on the day before their birthday. It’s been my longest running personal project. I try to create these portraits with cues to what is going on in their lives in that moment.
We made this portrait together last night and today Aubrey turns 18. This portrait is about him moving through his adolescence into adulthood. He is in that brief moment between finishing high school and starting adult life. The potential of his future is emerging.
Having chosen film and philosophy as electives in his final year of high school, Aubrey is developing his personal aesthetic and world view in more intentional and meaningful ways. It’s been particularly satisfying for me to see him explore video and photography. This year’s portrait is bold in visual style to reflect this development.
Aubrey is enrolled in the Motion Picture Arts Program at Capilano University and starts this fall. I can’t wait to see what his future holds.
Happy birthday Aubrey. I love you.
This image was made with my GFX 50S II and GF 80mm. Light is from an optical snoot with gobo mounted to a single White Lightning Ultra 600 camera right about 12ft away. Triggered with Pocket Wizards. Processed in Capture One Pro with some light patching and cloning in Photoshop.
Picture taken as part of my serie about the manual workers in Philippines.
Ernie (17yo) and Jonfec (18yo), construction workers.
We met them in Dauin in the construction site of the resort of a good friend. They nicely accepted to be taken in picture.
We will go back next month to meet them again for the construction of bamboo bungallow. :)
The resort name is "la tortue, Diving center" owned by Nicolas PADI Instructor and promises to be extremely nice specially for the divers in the Negros. :)
Dauin, Negros Oriental, Philippines.
