You fucking disappoint me.
“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, ever the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this…you’re better off this…
Maybe you’re better off!
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!

Documenting Canterbury Road before "that apartment block" was built, I directed my vision towards capturing the character of the now derelict 1950's styled homes and shop fronts, that make it what it is today.
However, photographing the relentless development has left me questioning
why so many apartment blocks are being built along one of Sydney's busiest roads? How can the old meet and compliment the new? Is there enough room for this road to cope? Will it be another Parramatta Road, another Sydney's varicose vein?

È come avere un gran fuoco nella propria anima e nessuno viene mai a scaldarvisi, e i passanti non scorgono che un po' di fumo, in alto, fuori del camino e poi se ne vanno per la loro strada.

You can't always be the prettiest Gurl in the room but you can always try to be the kindest.
There are enough people in the world who put us down, without us snipping at each other with sarcastic or passive aggressive comments.
we need to build each other up and spread the love xxx
This picture has gotten a lot of play on my Getty Images account recently. It was used in a Christian women's magazine as an example of "sexy" (much to my surprise and amusement), as a book cover published in Croatia and will apparently be used in France as a web advertisement for a beverage of some sort.
Awesome!

Il Futurismo è stato un movimento letterario, culturale, artistico e musicale italiano dell'inizio del XX secolo, nonché la prima avanguardia europea. Ebbe influenza su movimenti affini che si svilupparono in altri paesi d'Europa, in Russia, Francia, negli Stati Uniti d'America e in Asia. I futuristi esplorarono ogni forma di espressione, dalla pittura alla scultura, alla letteratura (poesia e teatro), la musica, l'architettura, la danza, la fotografia, il cinema e persino la gastronomia. La denominazione del movimento si deve al poeta italiano Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.
Nelle opere futuriste è quasi sempre costante la ricerca del dinamismo; cioè il soggetto non appare mai fermo, ma in movimento: ad esempio, per loro un cavallo in movimento non ha quattro gambe, ne ha venti. Così la simultaneità della visione diventa il tratto principale dei quadri futuristi; lo spettatore non guarda passivamente l'oggetto statico, ma ne è come avvolto, testimone di un'azione rappresentata durante il suo svolgimento.
Futurism was an Italian literary, cultural, artistic and musical movement of the early 20th century, as well as the first European avant-garde. It had influence on related movements that developed in other countries of Europe, Russia, France, the United States of America and Asia. The futurists explored every form of expression, from painting to sculpture, to literature (poetry and theater), music, architecture, dance, photography, cinema and even gastronomy. The movement was named after the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.
In futurist works the search for dynamism is almost always constant; that is, the subject never appears to be stationary, but in movement: for example, for them a moving horse does not have four legs, it has twenty. Thus the simultaneity of vision becomes the main feature of futurist paintings; the spectator does not passively look at the static object, but is wrapped in it, witnessing an action represented during its development.

Very pleased to have been asked to show some of my photos in this art magazine. Gracias Octavio.
Picture, if you will, a thought bubble above with the words: "The camera again... sigh... put the f***en' down and eat your homefries"
During the First World War, the small nation of Denmark managed to stay neutral, however this would not be the case for the Second World War. On April 9th, 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Denmark as part of Operation Weserubung, violating Denmark's neutrality. Denmark itself held little strategic value for the war effort but was seen as a staging ground for the invasion of Norway. The Danish army mobilized; however they were ill equipped to face the Wehrmacht. The conflict lasted for a mere 6 hours with very few casualties as Danish Prime Minister, Thorvald Stauning, ordered Danish troops to stand down. Recognizing how futile resistance was due to Demarks lack of natural barriers, its outdated military, and fears Copenhagen would be bombed like Warsaw, the Danish government opted for surrender. Danish troops were demobilized, surrendered their weapons, and told to go home. The British and Canadians responded to the invasion of Denmark by invading its overseas territories of Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands to prevent them from falling into German hands. Allied resources would also be redirected to aid Norway in the upcoming battle.
Denmark would be subject to German occupation, but unlike other occupied nations it was limited as the Germans were fine with the "Aryan" Danes managing their own affairs. The Danish government functioned as before, and King Christian X remained in the country. This did not mean that the Danish populace embraced the occupation willingly, and would engage in passive acts of resistance throughout the war. In the 1943 election, a majority of Danes voted for Staunings government, while only 2% voted for the Pro-Nazi National Socialist Party. In the same year, the Germans would militarily occupy Denmark after the Danish government rejected their demands such as banning public assemblies, enforcing a curfew, censorship, and the death penalty for sabotage. When the order was leaked that Denmark's Jews would be subject to deportation, Danish resistance and civilians evacuated 7,200 of 7,800 Jews to neutral Sweden.
Denmark was eventually liberated by the Allies on May 5th, 1945, 3 days before the war in Europe came to an end. The invasion and occupation of Denmark remains controversial today. While the Danes did not "fight to the death" like those on the Eastern front against Nazi occupation, they still did what they could to defy them.

I believe this is a Rook (Corvus frugilegus) though I'm not certain. It was huddled up against the hail but unperturbed otherwise.
