Anti Poverty Committee march against hunger at Victory Square , yes there is major poverty in Vancouver , a thing our foliticians somehow never mention
A Haitian orphan begging for food in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Haiti is full of orphans. Many parents leave their babies on the street, mainly because they have no food and no sources to maintain large families which they have. The overall situation on Haiti gets worse every year and the extreme, hardly imaginable poverty hits more and more people. The Haitian economics is paralysed, there is no infrastructure, no food supplies, the population suffer from hunger, social and living conditions in Haitian slums (e.g. Cité Soleil) are a human tragedy. The rage grows and the tension continues with undiminished strength.

Okay, so there's nothing really Hunger Games-ish about this, other than the target type design which is the same as what is on the cover of the Hunger Games. And the flames are a subtle nod to Katniss, the "girl on fire," but overall even someone that hasn't read Hunger Games could use this for... something.
In 1981, 23 prisoners held at Long Kesh prison in Northern Ireland went on a hunger strike to protest how they were recognized within the prison. This is a memorial to the 10 hunger strikers that died.
A few films have been made to tell this story, most famously Hunger (2008) and Some Mother's Son (1996).
This picture was taken exactly 20 years and 12 days after Bobby Sands became the first hunger striker to die of starvation.
關廠工人絕食行動滿一週，在昨晚8：28「餓滿」150小時，勞委會則除了持續發表新聞稿隔空喊話，呼籲工人停止「過激」陳情行動外，也派出就業工作站員工拜訪關廠工人家屬，希望可以藉由親屬力量，讓抗爭工人願意簽署同意之前勞委會提出的「打折」還款方案。
這兩天絕食者陳滿屏一直處於又疲倦又氣憤的狀態。談起勞委會「拜訪」一事，她激動地說：「我人在勞委會前絕食抗議，勞委會不來找我溝通，跑去我屏東老家找我爸爸，84的老人家，勞委會的人見到他劈頭就說，你女兒在外面欠政府錢被告了，官司如果輸了要連本帶利還出來，你勸她現在趕快（在補助方案同意書上）簽名。」
「我4月28日開始在勞委會絕食，他不然找我談，卻跑去驚動老人家，然後對絕食的人不聞不問，我不知道這個政府怎麼了，我們把國家交給它，它卻這樣對待它的人民。」
陳滿屏指出，雖然勞委會只跟她追討20幾萬，自己並非還不出來，但心裡覺得很不甘心、氣不過，所以才放下小吃店生意持續抗議。她質疑，16年前他們歷經接連抗爭、臥軌後，終於在絕食28小時後，迫使當時的勞委會主委許介圭出面，但現在無論他們怎麼絕食，主委就是不願出面，讓她感到很痛心。
今天絕食者的狀況持續惡化，除了沈秋華在晚間因家庭、健康因素退出絕食外，幾名絕食者也持續出現頭暈、胃食道逆流、脫水現象。明天全關連將發起「國家橫行，工人恨行」行動，打算一路從勞委會走到新北地方法院，但絕食者則會留在現場，等待勞委會主委潘世偉出面。
雖然今天是假日，但勞委會勞資處仍發表新聞稿強調，他們已在5/2結合就業服務中心、地方政府勞政與社政單位等相關人員，針對548戶逾貸勞工，親自到宅訪視，說明補助要點內容，並表達勞委會關懷之意；截至5/3為止，勞委會已完成全部訪視。
此外，勞委會也在桃園就業服務站提供定點說明、現場收件服務，約有28人到站接受諮詢，其中16人現場遞交文件辦理申請，另提供13人到宅個別諮詢服務，並協助年紀老邁、行動不動之申請者撰寫申請表。5/5上午10～12時，勞委會將在同一地點持續提供相關服務。

Hunger...."Do Not Feed The Wildlife" signs are everywhere now. These poor deer are trapped in these little habitats with very little to eat. I realize they are overpopulated with less predators to keep their numbers down. but starvation is a terrible way to die. This deer is so thin it's really sad.

關廠工人絕食行動邁入第三天，截至晚間7：28為止，這群最高齡到78歲，多數也超過50歲的絕食人士們，已經絕食超過53小時。
與昨天相較之下，今天每一位絕食人士的精神看來又更差一些，主要可能是睡眠狀態不佳，精神持續處於緊繃狀態所引起。
昨天沈秋華的雙手有明顯浮腫，但今天稍微消退一些。殷必雄昨天血糖過低，血壓也偏高，今天看來還是很累，不過似乎和昨天差別不大。本來在經營小吃店的陳滿屏從第一天就喊餓，不過她說進入第三天後，飢餓感開始消退了。
下午絕食行動滿48小時時，全關連在勞委會前又開了一場記者會。黃德北批評：「天安門事變的時候，我人就在現場。當初學生說要絕食，中共的統戰部就立刻派人和學生溝通，希望不要絕食。到了絕食的後期，中共的總理李鵬就跟學生見面，到最後連中共的總書記趙紫陽都到現場探視學生。可是，我們這裡有那麼多工人在絕食，勞委會卻沒有任何官員來和工人接觸。勞委會提出方案真的好的話，應該來和工人接觸、談判，但他沒有任何行動。」
明天就是五一勞動節，幾名絕食工人說，如果體力允許的話，他們也希望能一起參加遊行。絕食工人簡素卿則說，就算沒辦法走，她坐輪椅也要參加，要用全部力氣爭取工人權益。
No. 68: The Fear of Hunger.
️
What would be the breaking point of someone's hunger? How far or desperate would they become? Is hunger easily visible? Or can people look composed while hiding this issue?
️
For my newest viewers, I did a Fear series for my college capstone where I visualized my 13 biggest fears. At the gallery I had a sign asking people to write down their biggest fears, in hopes that one day I'd use it as inspiration for a future piece. Here is one those pieces.
️
I truly wanted to use a centipede originally, but couldn't find one, dead or alive. Then one day, one of my students casually handed me a flower box, and told me her pet tarantula had died, and that I could keep it (Thanks Izzy 😂). I knew immediately I had to use it. I pray that I never have to feel this desperate.
️
I wanted this photo to be jarring. I used to do darker art, and it's definitely within my roots as an artist. I wanted my model (thank you DR!) to appear clean and pretty with a pure white plate, a juxtaposition to the dark, scary, dead creature not normally found on a dinner table.
️
On a side note, what's the craziest thing you've eaten? I've tried escargot, grasshopper tacos, and blue mountain oysters.
️
I'm finally getting better from covid, although it's been a whirlwind of emotions for me. Thanks to anyone who is still reading, and I'm excited to share more content.

A sad image I captured yesterday while in Manhattan.
At first I was skeptical about putting it on flickr ..til I realized the strong message it sends.

"I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue."
— — Pablo Neruda, “Love Sonnet XI”
(reposted from halloween 2014)
I have been devouring Neruda's work these last weeks...I had always loved it...but these guy has knocked me out with his writings, ...they are Romantic, dramatic...Hunting...Sexy....I was thinking of making some or at least one image for Halloween, and reading tonight this poem...I thought of someone walking the streets prowling, hungry... thirsty for blood...like an animal.
Hunted, hunting... and what more haunting than a hungry zombie?
So I caught this zombie wiping the blood of her lips after dinner...
Good night, Don't let the zombies bite! LOL
