A Met Police liaison officer in discussion with a protester with a line of The Met's finest in the bokeh, outside Parliament in London. Approaching 200 years after their creation, the nine principles espoused by The Met's first commissioner, Sir Robert Peel, remain in practice. The fourth principle appears particularly appropriate here:
"To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives."
During his time travels, the Old Inventor discovered a dying planet and began his rescue efforts to save a race of peaceful biodiverse beings from extinction. These beings are a strange combination of humanoid, reptile and plant. I will share some of them with you here; they shall remain nameless.

Standing at more than 3.5 metres tall the Mommoth is a dramatic symbol of species lost. The last of these massive beasts is thought to have died out around 4000 years ago due to climate change, habitat loss and hunting.

So my first photographic project for 2021 is now complete! :)
This project involved me taking well over 2000 self-portraits in the forest!
WTF... I hear you ask... how narcissistic can you get!? Why would anyone want to do something like that!?
Well... you'll have to click on the link and watch the video to find out. ;)
What is the purpose of a modern zoo? For the Melbourne Zoo their mission is very clear, "Fighting Extinction". www.zoo.org.au/fighting-extinction/
But they would be in accord with the Adelaide Zoo's four points:
1. Conservation
2. Education
3. Research
4. Recreation
www.zoossa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/The-Role-of-a-Modern...
Each of these are important objectives. But it is important to stress in an era when people are rightly concerned for animal welfare, that modern zoos do place the welfare of their animals at the top of the priority list. Tomorrow I'll give you an example of how far we have come in our changed perceptions of zoos and their purpose, and certainly in the way animals are kept.
One more point that needs to be stressed. None of the animals in this zoo (or I would suggest most modern zoos around the world) were taken from the wild. These animals are either bred in this zoo, or have been traded with other zoos around the country who specialise in certain breeding programs. Now this is very important.
The biggest problem we face with animal species around the world is the decline of biodiversity through loss of habitat. We are winning the war against poachers in most cases (but still more needs to be done), but what we are failing to do is control human population growth. If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times, the number one environmental issue in the world (from which all other problems follow) is the continued exponential human population growth.
Why is this so? (As Prof. Julius Sumner Miller used to educate us on TV in the 1970s.) Because humans need space. Space to live and grow their crops, and their (unfair) share of the natural resources. This means deforestation in large measure (especially in the regions of greatest population growth). Rainforests are cut down, and with it whole habitats for creatures so rare now as Orang-utans and Tigers. Something needs to be done to save these animals in the wild.
But zoos serve a vital role in researching animal needs and also maintaining their viability through breeding programs. We need zoos. They are an important part of the recreational life of our cities, but most of all, they are a lifeline for seriously endangered species.
I wanted with this capture and processing to express the urge for us to handle in order to save this beautiful species that Africa has to offer. It is for that reason that i called this photography Elephant's Extinction.
All photos are printed on a EPSON 9900 STYLUS PRO and on Fine Art Hahnemühle Matt FineArt PhotoRag 308 gsm 100% Cotton Paper, which is the best paper to create high quality fine art prints.
This combination complies with the highest archival standards according to the very well known willhelm-research archival authority; Contact me.
Every print is only printed on demand and inspected by me.
This is a limited edition of 15 pictures all sizes included each signed and numbered by me and comes with a handwritten certificate of authenticity.
I not only love photography of wild animals but i also want to preserve this beautiful animals as much as i can, thats why i will donate for every original print, 10$ to the African Wildlife Foundation with your name.

... ahí va, mi segunda visión del taller de Mara Saiz Gomis en Valencia.
En un mundo dónde la belleza ya no existe, porque el ser humano se ha encargado de destruirla con sus actos, permanecen expuestas en este "micromundo", 2 bellezas humanas, como símbolo de la belleza que un día reinó en la tierra.
