I was asked to shoot the photograph of this long time Arizona resident. He was notorious as being an outspoken and cantankerous guy with amazing amount of political power. I found him to be a delightful guy and we had a nice shoot for about 15 minutes. I shot a cover shot per the AD for the mag and then asked him if he would mind me doing a portrait of him. As he was sitting waiting I saw the shot on the left and snapped, as the flash went off, he turned to me and I snapped that. He smiled and grabbed his hat and left. Two shots.
Lighting is a strip light with flags on camera right and a black backed umbrella is lighting the background behind the shadow side of him (camera left) I set the background light to be a full stop less light hitting the gray background than was hitting him. I wanted a whisper of backlight, not a shout. I would have liked to have a few more shots, but I think I got something pretty interesting. He passed away not long after these images were taken.

This is one of the strangest tintypes in our collection! How can a picture of President Grover Cleveland, a man in a dress, and a man with a fake mustache and beard be related? After a number of suggestion, discussion on Facebook groups, and research in 19th century political history I think we have it figured out.
It is political satire referencing the annexation of Hawaii! President Harrison (the man with the fake beard) had Congress annex the Hawaiian islands after a 1893 bloodless revolution. The man in the dress (muumuu) represents the Queen of Hawaii, Liliuokalani. When Cleveland (the drawing on the wall) was elected he recommended that the monarchy be restored, which Congress rejected. These were the three individuals most involved in this historic event. Convoluted but I now feel correct!
In Peru, you don’t see election signs that much, except in bigger cities. In the countryside, what political parties do is paint entire houses to advertise. For every sign there is an icon, or a symbol. The reason for that is simple: most rural Peruvians can’t read so when they go vote, they vote by selecting one of the symbols on the voting card. As a Peruvian, if you agree to have your wall painted, and your candidate wins, then you are rewarded in some way, with a job perhaps or some kind of preferential treatment. If your candidate loses, tough! You're stuck with the sign until the weather erodes it away, or it gets over-painted in the next election. Another thing they do to advertise in rural areas is parades. From 6am to almost 1am, you see groups of 20-30 people walk down streets chanting slogans, screaming in loudspeakers, playing musical instruments and having fun. It’s not fun for tourists trying to sleep but it’s interesting nonetheless. One thing we’ve noticed during those parades was one individual handing out pens, and discretely asking people to vote for them, and giving them the pen and a bit of money. This is illegal in Peru, but we’ve been told that this is still a rampant practice.

Inspiratie voor deze foto is het burkaverbod in Nederland. Ik heb bewust gekozen het verhaal ''open'' te houden, niet voor, niet tegen.......denk er van wat je wil.

A view of my hometown's town hall. In the façade, the banner says "freedom to the political prisoners". This means the ending of the inprisonement of members of the Catalan government and parliament who were jailed in late 2017 and early 2018 by the Spanish state, and several others who had to exile in several countries, specially President Carles Puigdemont.

It was another mission yet again for my squad. We received word that an important senator was captured on a diplomatic mission, he was boarded onto a separatist cargo frigate. We always get the rescue missions, must be a lucky call. I knew right away when we passed a door that the senator was in the room, it was the only door with a pass code lock. Blast, one of my troops, was in the window above. He gave me the go, Patch, the medic and also my second in command was right next to me we were about to blow the door. This part is pretty easy, it's getting out of here that's the challenge.

I got the opportunity to photograph Bill Clinton, a few years back. Weather was an issue that day with rain, wind and lightening all working against me. Politics aside, he was a great photo op.
Fire struck the informal settlers who had made the long stretch of sidewalk in Bgy. Manresa (Q.C.) as their residence. The local politician is already making his presence felt.

after a nightly action this old girl is dressed correctly now - for sure it was nice to watch the young lady, who gave her bra as a gift to her older sister ... - compare my "V" photo archive at flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/a-z-archive-v-cha...
