She went everywhere with a basket filled daily with a fresh blueberry muffin. It's either that or cigarettes, she said. I am only strong enough for a life of partial virtue.
happy monday everybody :)
and say hello to my alter ego, lacy.
terribly rushed shot. oh well.
for fgr: know your rights (the freedom to stand in front of my window half-naked ... on a monday)
Officer: What you are taking pics of?
Me: The city and the helix.
Officer: You know its suspicious behavior to take pictures of this structure.
Me: Im within my rights.
Officer: Avoid this area and the area surrounding the Lincoln Tunnel helix.
Me: Photography of public structures such as bridges are allowed to be photographed as long as Im not blocking traffic, police activity or trespassing on private property. Goodnight.
The times we live in....With all due respect to the law, Im not trying to argue or even explain myself to authority but I feel we have lost some of our rights to Photograph the world. Id like to enjoy my passion for photography without feeling like Im involved in a criminal act.

As I said in an older picture, one of my objectives for this trip was to visit this wall, a Joe Strummer memorial, which is located in the 112 Avenue A (Niagara Bar, East Village) in NYC. As many of you already know, he was the singer of The Clash and died in 2002. If you want to see how this wall was painted, view the video I posted in the "Freedom!" picture. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to listen to the great version Joe did of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". View it!
Como dije en una foto anterior, uno de mis objetivos para este viaje era visitar este muro, un memorial a Joe Strummer, el cual está situado en el 112 de la Avenida A (Niagara Bar, East Village) de Nueva York. Como algunos de vosotros ya sabeis, fue el cantante de The Clash y murió en 2002. Si quieres ver cómo fue pintado este muro, mira el vídeo que posteé en la foto "Freedom!". Además, tendrás la oportunidad de escuchar la grandiosa versión que hizo Joe del "Redemption Song" de Bob Marley. ¡Échale un vistazo!.

Joe Strummer of The Clash tells Glasgow's Barrowland, get rid of Thatcher before she gets rid of us. On one occasion without tickets Joe comes out says follow me , that says everything about the guy. Took this photo in 1984 with a Kodak disc camera.

This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights all three of them
Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights
And Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation
...
Know these rights
Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it.
Know your rights
These are your rights
...
Finally then I will read you your rights
You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you
(The Clash - Know Your Rights)

on saturday there was an Exploited concert in Istanbul and all the punk population in Turkey supposingly gathered at this concert. so the whole center (Taksim area) was conquerred by young Punks. anyways, I was out too and went to a relatively alternative bar (or club-whatever) and of course there were some Exploited spectators there too. so the DJ, who was relatively elder, put some 'punkish' music (like Latino-disco version of Sex Pistols!!!) at which people went crazy, and of course played few Clash songs as well. my dear friends, it is utterly sad but those so-called punks had no clue about Clash! now what the f.ck is that?
PS: Joe Strummer was born in the same city as me, which is ANKARA! not many people know that!!! ;)

For this weeks theme I have chosen "Lines, Angles and Perspectives". This should definitely give me a challenge, as it will force me to get away from the office wall, and will hopefully help me focus on composition a bit. I have taken several interesting shots with these elements before, just most of them without me in it. Should be a fun week :)
I'm also sticking this in FGR today, because the group theme is "Know Your Rights". With the freedoms we have in the U.S. I have the right to stand in an apartment breezeway at whatever time of day I want and take pictures of myself. With freedom of expression, practically any picture I take of myself could go up for the world to see. I rave for our Freedom!
I also want to thank everyone who helped Liina and I to try and find Emily yesterday...I have a feeling she'll be around later!
Best when you View On White

Joe Strummer was the lead singer and guitarist of the British punk band The Clash. His bands' lyrics were full of messages and themes about social decay, unemployment, racism, police brutality, political & social repression, militarism and anarchism.
After The Clash broke up in the mid 80's Joe went on to form Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros and to play with The Pogues. He was actively involved in music and civil rights his entire life all the way up to his premature death in 2002 at the early age of 50.
If you're not familiar with their music or their politics this video of "Radio Clash" is a good place to start:

Although it was made after the band had begun to see considerable success and a is bit more pop sounding than some of their other revolution rock songs, it's a great song and video.
R.I.P. Joe Strummer!

Joe, RIP

Joe Strummer was my musical hero. For a brief moment in time, The Clash were the greatest band in the world. At their peak (before Topper was kicked out) they were the fiercest, most powerful, most soulful, most committed rock band I've ever seen. Joe was full of contradictions, but was well loved all the same. I'll always remember where I was on December 22, 2002 when I heard the news that Joe had died. Talk about a punch in the gut. More importantly, I'll always remember the first time I saw the Clash at the Lyceum in London. I've never seen a more powerful show and likely never will.

Impeach Cheney, but do it according to the rules of the Constitution...
Statement Regarding Impeachment of Vice President Cheney
Ron Paul Speech to Congress
November 6, 2007
Mr. Speaker, I rise, reluctantly, in favor of the motion to table House Resolution 799, Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, and in favor of referring that resolution to the House Judiciary Committee for full consideration. I voted to table this resolution not because I do not share the gentleman from Ohio's desire to hold those responsible for the Iraqi debacle accountable; but rather, because I strongly believe that we must follow established protocol in matters of such importance. During my entire time in Congress, I have been outspoken in my opposition to war with Iraq and Iran. I have warned my colleagues and the administration against marching toward war in numerous speeches over the years, and I have voted against every appropriation to continue the war on Iraq.
I have always been strongly in favor of vigorous congressional oversight of the executive branch, and I have lamented our abrogation of these Constitutional obligations in recent times. I do believe, however, that this legislation should proceed through the House of Representatives following regular order, which would require investigation and hearings in the House Judiciary Committee before the resolution proceeds to the floor for a vote. This time-tested manner of moving impeachment legislation may slow the process, but in the long run it preserves liberty by ensuring that the House thoroughly deliberates on such weighty matters. In past impeachments of high officials, including those of Presidents Nixon and Clinton, the legislation had always gone through the proper committee with full investigation and accompanying committee report.
I noted with some dismay that many of my colleagues who have long supported the war changed their vote to oppose tabling the motion for purely political reasons. That move was a disrespectful to the Constitutional function of this body and I could not support such actions with my vote.
I was pleased that the House did vote in favor of sending this legislation to the Judiciary Committee, which essentially directs the committee to examine the issue more closely than it has done to this point.

To video or not to video, that seems to be the question... personally I think I'm against video on flickr, so what the hell is this? Actually it's a bunch of stills I took of an amazing mural which pays tribute to the legend that was John Mellor. I chose to accompany it with a cover of a great Clash song from the album London Calling, but instead of doing the obvious thing I chose a haunting version by Jesse Malin. So its a photo tribute to a mural tribute with a tribute song. I think it works, not everyone agrees...
I have no idea where that logo came form at the end, I didn't put it there, weird.

"As a girl you must know your rights. Stand for your rights," says the Woman Advocacy Project's Executive Director, Constance Mugari, at a girl’s empowerment training on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe.
The full day of activities included information about the consequences of early marriage, practice discussing the topic with friends, and a discussion of difficult issues including parental abuse – which can drive girls to seek refuge in marriage. The seminar had 40 participants from Form 1 to Forum 6.

Stickers on a car window. The man saw me taking a photo and said something along the lines of "Could I be more clear?" Then he walked across the sidewalk with a bugle and played taps.
