A fable: The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “It’s my nature…”
Many of the frogs who gave King Donald a ride will soon regret it.
I'm pleased to announce that this shot was 'Highly Commended' by the judges of the Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 competition in the Urban Category. Hugely chuffed about this. It's going to be on display as a printed copy at the National Theatre in London from the 12th November until the 12th January 2013. The shot also appeared in yesterdays Sunday Times - which is just fabulous - over the moon.
Apparently the book is out already - I haven't seen a copy - but judging from the shots in the Times yesterday its going to be fabulous - some really amazing shots - very much looking forward to seeing them.
As for the shot - well this was pretty much the last shot before my ill fated trip to the bottom of the Thames on the Shard's Inauguration night, so its the last shot I have with my D300 - which was smashed up in the fall. It was taken from across the river - slightly elevated along with hundreds of other photographers - I was surprised at just how many had turned out - it seems such a long time ago now.

Post-inauguration, we decided it was easier to walk back to Virginia rather than try to fight for a spot on the shuttle bus or metro train. They had mostly blocked off the 14th Street bridge for pedestrians to do just that. I think we had about a mile left to go at this point.
These are some of the fireworks that happened today on Inauguration Day for Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris.

Bruxelles Brussel Brüssel Brussels Bruxelas
Enfin Bruxelles se réveille et fait appel à des artistes pour cacher des chantiers qui, il faut bien le dire, ne sont pas de toute beauté même s'ils sont une nécessité.
Un magnifique exemple de collaboration entre artistes (ASBL URBANA et Interfaces) pouvoirs publics (Ville de Bruxelles), investisseurs du privé (BNP Paribas) Entrepreneurs (De Meuter) et j'en oublie probablement...
Il est à souhaiter que ce ne soit point un "one shot" mais que cela devienne une saine habitude de faire appel à des artistes pour masquer le temps nécessaire les travaux urbains.

inaugurate verb: to put something into use
Turn up on election day in Australia and I'll bet London to a brick on you'll be offered a democracy sausage. There'll be equal odds that it will be cooked on a flat barbecue plate by someone from a local service club or school auxiliary, slapped diagonally on a piece of square, fluffy, characterless, sliced white bread, buried beneath undercooked onions if you're there early, or cremated ones if you're there late, and garnished with dead horse.
celebrate verb: to honour or praise
The sausage is a wondrous thing; a mystery bag of bits and pieces — whether it's upper class or as down-to-earth as a Scottish haggis. It is never celebrated more democratically than when it's laid down in the embrace of a bun, dressed here in a simplified form that you might encounter in København; a world away from the queue to vote.
This wiener is a pale simulacrum of the frankfurter it could be. Stuffed with ground bits rejected then selected for their inferiority, and wrapped in a dyed orange/brown skin, it'll have to do for this inauguration. Dressing this dog is the first, the inaugural task of a new batch of red kraut — fermented in the Danish-style with fennel seeds. The mustard is sweet, in the Swedish-style, and the onions are just a few metres from where they grew in this green land.
commemorate verb: to mark or celebrate
Here's to the not so humble hotdog! It commemorates its disparate parts, its humble origins in Germany, its adoption and adaptation around the World, symbol of getting together, getting along and the whole made better than the sum of its parts.

So I spent the day in DC during the inauguration just allowing the day to take me where it would. Met a lot of nice folks on both sides of vastly differing opinions. All ballpoint. All in-situ. Very lucky with the weather. www.newsillustrator.com
No matter what your politics are, today is a historic day... marking the first time I have ever gotten up before sunrise to take pictures :) A few days ago, my cousin told me a story about my grandfather who went to the Inauguration every four years regardless of who won. I thought that was such a great custom, I had to try it for myself.
