Chief of Police Frank Fowler speaks to residents about crime and gun violence statistics during a community dialogue organized by the brothers of Prince Hall Masonic Temple on Oct. 18. At the discussion, “Improving
Perceptions Between Police & The Community,” Fowler said that while crime in the city is down, shots fired and murder incidents are up. He said residents can help police by reporting criminal activity and by communicating constructively.
“I may be a lot of things,
but clairvoyant, I am not,” Fowler told the group.

Anchored down by chains a dozen,
near impossible to make your way into the Sea.
Patience made you wait my cousin,
for time ate through the chains, and set you free.
With minimal outside interventions,
without much of a hint.
No-one could tell your intentions,
for they were as clean as the above photographic print.
All you wanted all your life was to be released,
from the chains that we shall call perception.
all you wanted to do was to head North-East,
They all thought it was one big deception.
With the footprints of the ones before you,
Heading easily into the sea.
Most thought you couldn’t do it,
most, but not me.
They said it couldn’t be done,
calling it impossible, outrageous and a waste of time.
It’s a shame they didn’t know, you are
Hussain Al Numairy, my cousin, my best friend.

Inspired by photographer Dan Ng, Who photographed the streets of San Francisco by altering angle of the photograph to level out the hills of the city.
Born in a Normandy noble family, French origin Théodose Achille Louis Vicomte du Moncel (1821-1884) was born in Paris. Apart from being a talented illustrator and engraver, he was known primarily as an expert in electrical science and mathematics. At a young age (1844), he made a trip in Greece, drawing ancient sites, monuments and cities with great ease. Starting from Venice in November 1843, his journey continues to Istanbul after Greece; On the way back, he stops in Malta, Messina and Naples.
Perfectly large stone engravings covering the whole route of his journey are published in an expensive album; In a different publication, 18 wooden engravings were collected from a land trip from Athens to Nafplion, and 14 stone engravings showing themes from Athens in a separate publication in guinea. The engravings, all drawn by Du Moncel himself, are accompanied by explanatory texts and descriptions of appearances; The human images, which decorate the subjects as pleasant decorative details, were performed by another artist in almost all of the engravings. He displays his paintings on his eastern journey regularly at Du Moncel Paris at annual Hall fairs (1846-1851) and sells to meet his material needs.
Since 1846, he worked as an electrical engineer in a government department, wrote research and articles on electrical science, a member of the Academy of Sciences, one of the founding members of the Société Nationale des Sciences Naturelles et Μathématiques de Cherbourg, and an officer with the Legion d 'Honneur engagement.
Du Moncel is a representative of the last trend of European artists who are eager to recognize the ruins of the ancient universe on site. It completes the visual themes and travel notes of the contemporary reality journeys in the places it travels with a more pleasant detail and with negative comments; The memory of recent historical events, if not reflected in the patterns, is at least marked by explanatory texts.
Du Moncel proves his own observations of the monuments, also by referring to ancient Greek literature works and texts of older trusted travelers (R. Chandler, J. Stuart, N. Revett, FCHL Pouqueville, Ch. Wordworth, Expédition Scientifique de Morée). However, as Du Moncel derives from the Restoration Period of France, its commitment to the European model, which is hostile to all the ideas of liberalism, contributes to the negative perception of contemporary Greek reality. The fact that the journey is full of disabilities, the strangeness and unusualness of the environment, and the way of living differently are interpreted negatively and ironically. Despite this, the patterns he draws clearly make monuments that are in perfect harmony with the natural environment.

According to first-hand reports from a fellow photographer, this may be one of the last images snapped at a now-being-demolished factory near Atlanta. I'd heard about this place and seen pics, but had never visited. Upon learning that it was soon going to be demolished, a quick trip was organized a couple of weeks ago. Glad I had a chance to see much of it first-hand prior to the 'dozers paying a visit.
This is one example of the statements made by "taggers" throughout the long-abandoned campus of buildings.
