I'm wondering what reasoning GADOT uses for these 'signs on a stick.' Anyone know why?

The concept of imagination and exploring forces of the unknown. This idea allows for the viewer to look at an image and begin to create their own reasoning and answers as to why things appear the way they do.
In this particular shot I wanted to explore the idea of my hand resisting the tension of a stringed web that attempts to pull each finger back, opposed to the reality where I am clinching my hand to become a fist.
Expect to see more images in this fashion. :)

she isn't in a killing game, just here to show Clarice's reasoning for doing what she did. feel free to ask questions
So, this only explains seven years of my mistortune. What's the reasoning for the rest of it?
Okay, so here's my defense for this shot. I was in a hurry when I looked up the theme to this week's MacroMonday shot, and incorrectly read "Superstition" instead of "Supernatural." But, it's like I said, I haven't been feeling my self lately. Besides, I've already shot so many supernatural shots in the past.

Americans always have such funny names, don't they? The London evening papers were full of the alleged murder in New York by Johnny Phlegm or Sid Spit or some such name, of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, The victim's name, funnier because real, was somehow more memorable. I think the alleged perpetrator, who was the member of a "punk" singing beat combo, died of a drug overdose before he could be brought to trial, thereby ensuring his indefinite "cult status" among people of impaired reasoning ability. Punk was long after my time and I did not recognise the name ...or, rather, nom de guerre... of the detained man. I provide these details for "context" you understand. So, without intending to make light of the tragic fate of these rather vapid young people ...victims of the false ideas of a false age... the matter rather passed me by. Omnibological events concerned me more. There it is, I'm afraid: in a world overflowing with tragedy, one's compassion will only go so far. Thousands killed in an earthquake on the other side of the world mean less than a road accident at the end of the street.
It was Friday 13th October 1978 and, in the forecourt of Kingston Station, a watery sun had finally broken through the day-long fog. Only a matter of days old, the B-series Leyland National was of little interest to me, photographably novel only in the sense of being new. The B-series was one of the staging posts by which the National gradually improved during its production life. The most notable change was that buyers were no longer obliged to accept the heating and "air-conditioning" (laughter) of the original model, and the unsightly "pod" on the roof was dispensed with. More to my taste was the former London Transport RMC behind, though the Routemaster was never a great favourite of mine.
Flickr finally decided to allow this one through... Rear view with dealer plate. Odd that it was regsistered a RE, but is badged TGE. I don't know enough about the trim levels on these to give any reasoning for that.

"Locking Horns - Bison Demonstrating Metaphors" I look at this picture and I see a metaphor, a metaphor that is emblematic of my life. I have been locking horns with people ever since my age of reason. Not to say my reasoning is any good but I like it :D
I often times feel like the bull on the left, bigger, older with my hair falling out, external forces about ready to pierce my temple questioning whether I still have the strength to fight them off. I can see the problem but butting heads hasn't been able to solve the problem that is facing my Temple.
If I may mix metaphors – a neoclassical “Temple” and an academic argument both require a solid base. While the foundation of a building is stone; the foundation of an argument is a premise. The building blocks of an argument are facts and assertions, known as suppositions. A mason shapes and stacks round blocks in order to form a pillar; in the same way, an adversary arranges and connects suppositions in order to provide a chain of logical connections; like a pillar that runs all the way from the ground to the roof, these connections are the evidence that supports the adversaries main point. The stronger the columns, the heavier the roof can be; in the same way, a stronger array of supporting evidence can support a "weightier" conclusion. Just as building must withstand the force of gravity, an argument must hold up under the force of logic.

When the first ljad infected human on Gliese 581 came into contact with a Toa'k it forever changed the ljad, The ljad lost all sense of ethical reasoning and became a heartless killing machine void of sympathy....we call them d'voyd...
The guy in green refused to give a hug to the guy in white. His reasoning was, "I don't know how many homosexuals you have hugged".
I chose this image because they are African knives. In Africa, there are many tribes that still practice the act of scarification. It is performed on both male and female and the reasoning behind it varies. For men, it may be performed as an act of strength to see how much pain they can tolerate. With women it is a sign of beauty. Some will have scarification done all over their face in like rice grain sized patterns, as well as their chest and stomach.
Michael Owen is painting these murals around Baltimore to spread the message of love. At a staff meeting last week we found out that he would like to paint one on our school. There's some opposition in my school's community because hand signs are often related to gang activity. I happen to think their reasoning is silly and think this is a wonderful idea. Mr. Owen has even offered art lessons to our students if he can paint his mural. Awesome!

A reminder to me however a caution to you viewers ! New Orleans, is considered one of the raining-est places in the United States, for this matter anywhere on the USA coast line, I don't recall in any of my camera care, or equipment protection to always have a bag of desiccant, reasoning to remove any moisture from the tools of the photographic world. try the electronic supply or camera stores,, cleaning lens is a task labor effort, it's also good to note an opening question to other professional photographers tool bag content !!! learning to ask all the right questions ! or supply a helping hand !
Dr Brian May looking tired but working hard to get across the points and reasons why the Badger Cull should not be allowed to happen .Please help make his hard reasoning and work worth it by signing epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/38257 to #StopTheBadgerCull
When asked to be photographed or asked for his autograph with fans after ,each time his eyes lit up and he gave a broad warm smile.... but then returned the tired serious look as this campaign to help the Badgers,Wildlife and even the farmers of this country is straining on his face and his gentle sincere nature..As he left the meeting there was the usual banter of a tired family in a hurry to get home and rest after a busy day, you know that just get in the car moment ! ,, when your day is done ..I noticed this morning that despite his tiredness Dr Brian had still tweeted near midnight to his followers when he got home to thank people for their hospitality and support as his courteous good nature required . I hope that anyone who has not heard Dr Brian May or his team of scientists and x farmer will go and find out what they are saying online via UTube videos of their talks ,Facebook pages Twitter links or where ever they can as they have some very reasonable and valid things to say why Badgers should be vaccinated against TB and not shot as the government wants. It would be just rude and ignorant to dismiss these polite and educated gentlemen without hearing them out..

This gull was on its own near Dornock, East coast of Scotland, last Summer. Can someone help with ID? I've looked up books and because of the variation in bill colour, feathers and legs, from year to year as they age, I can't find it. Is it a juv Black Headed Gull? It has a black tip to the bill which is only visible once you know it's there....! Not a stunning shot, but has me puzzled. It would help to have your reasoning rather than a bald statement of what it is. Thanks.
This tweak of the US Constitution is dedicated to all those anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, gun rights zealots and their ilk, who believe their individual rights to do as they please trumps the rights of WE The PEOPLE to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The point of the document is to make WE a single collective noun--the people speaking in one voice, united by mutual sacrifice and compromise, and modulated by sound reasoning and the informed consent of the governed.
We can of course choose not to be governed this way, but that should, at least initially, be a choice we make as a people. An autocrat, once in power, can be difficult to remove, as we learned in 1776. In the 21st century, with what we now know about mass psychology and the use of force, and with the tools we have at our disposal (like mass media and social networking), the cost of revolution in life and treasure is virtually inconceivable. Powerful forces abroad wait for us to fail so they can sweep in should we fail.
The stakes are high, but it does not feel to me as though We the People is ready yet to abandon the pot. Rather it does feel as though a loose federation of minorities, leveraging our disinterest in primary elections, is attempting to shatter the foundations built at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. They seem to be trying to corrupt the courts, legislatures, governors mansions, the halls of congress, and even the ballot box itself, with partisans blindly loyal to the idea of power for its own sake. They long for autocracy, not democracy; for oppression, not governance. They are well on their way to making it happen--with cunning, deception, and force if necessary.
If that is what we want, let's vote for it openly. I believe most Americans believe in the concept of democracy, but we do not practice it well. Democracy is hard work. Know the issues and the candidates, be familiar with the science, the facts, and the law. Understand your own interests, both ethical and economic, and how the decisions of government, now in particular and in the future in principle, will affect you and the people who matter to you.
Most importantly: VOTE!!! Vote in primaries and mid-terms, where democracy is most vulnerable because our guard is down. Vote in local, county, and state races because decisions at that level are closest to your daily life and affect you most profoundly. Never pass up an opportunity to cast a ballot--That's what makes a democracy work.
Vote with your brain and with your heart. Speak out, but listen, too. Don't dismiss someone else's convictions because they conflict with your own. Compromise, don't cave. Don't accept anyone's facts without reliable information from alternate, ideally impartial, sources; trust, but verify. Prepare, then VOTE!!!
If we don't find the time and energy to do these things, then democracy does not work. We can pass along our just consent to be governed to an autocrat or demagogue, and be done with it. We can go back to world of widening economic and ethnic disparities, and our own lives of quiet desperation.
But won't be any going back. We the people will have failed, and there will be no place for Me the People, either. Let's not call that Liberty, okay?
What is your reasoning for lying?

First of all happy new year to all, there was no 'what I've made this year' pics on the 1st because I forgot :P anyway.
Here is my Hogwarts Express model converted to 8 wide after seeing a few features that my 7 wide version lacked.
Now I know the British loco builders are going to be up in arms over this but there was sound sound reasoning behind the change.
The most noticeable thing about the 7 wide version is that the wheel arches were right to the edge of the loco which is far from how the actual loco looks, so there is that for starters, but there were a few other things that were made possible such as a bit of a smoother roof design, more room in the cab, and a much more realistic, wheel spacing to body width ratio that always bugged me with the 7 wide version.
The overall strength has been vastly improved due to the fact the loco now has large plates in the frame rather than the 3 studs, 1 stud, 3 stud arrangement of 7 wide.
This new change is not without it's disadvantages however as I have now brought upon the need for new connecting rods, which I planned to change eventually anyway but with this new size I have no option but to.
I have only made this change to my LDD copy of this loco so my physical one remains the same for now.
During the 13th century St. Anthony of Padua was reported to have converted a hardened heretic through a rather unique contest. The heretic, by the name of Bononillo, was unmoved by the reasoning of the "hammer of heretics," as St. Anthony was called. Bononillo was as stubborn as the mule that stood beside him.
Eyeing the mule, Anthony made an offer to Bononillo. He asked him whether he would give up his heresy if the mule were to bow down and adore its Creator present in the Blessed Sacrament. The heretic answered he would, provided he could lay down certain conditions: for two days the mule was not to be fed, and on the third day it was to be led into the public square.
On one side of the square would be placed a tempting pile of fresh feed, on the opposite side Anthony could stand with what Bononillo contemptuously called the "body of Christ." Anthony agreed, but in all humility made one condition. If the animal did not kneel before the Blessed Sacrament, his sins alone were to be blamed.
The day arrived for this strange contest and the square was crowded with people. When the derisive Bononillo arrived with his half-starved mule, he was fully confident that his mule had sense and appetite enough to go after the feed. But he was wrong. Anthony had implored his Lord in the intervening two days for the soul of this heretic. God did not let his faithful servant down.
When turned loose, the mule without the least hesitation advanced towards Anthony and knelt in an attitude of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. With much emotion and contrition the heretic too fell on his knees and gave up his heresy.
This Eucharistic miracle is depicted in stained glass in this window from Lourdes' parish church. Today, 3 June 2010, is the feast of Corpus Christi, when the Church recalls the divine gift of the Blessed Sacrament.
Ad infinitum, thought can bend ideas themselves as each pensive notion gets so deep that absolutes fall into the abyss. Eventually, our thoughts think thoughts of their own and the sideways spiral of ideology creates its self out of itself. Meaningless jabber or insightful reasoning worth considering as a wicked wisdom of this world. You be the judge.

Unit 2 belonging to Troop D 4 (Beaver County.) This is the Beaver Barracks last CVPI and is supposedly being retired within the next few weeks. (Since retired) In this area for PSP they cap their cars out at 140,000 miles. This unit only has 110,000 miles. I am unsure the reasoning is behind its plan of retirement, best guess is age. Very clean 2011 with the Fire Suppression System like all PSP CVPI's have installed. Very friendly Troopers @ this post.

After meeting at a lap-dancing club,,, in Lapland, the Nobel Prize winning wheelchair-bound physicist Professor Stephen Hawking and top Hollywood actor Tom Cruise became the closest of friends.
Convinced by Cruise of the sound reasoning behind L. Ron Hubbard's classically invented religion of Scientology, Professor Hawking became a devout adherent himself, and decided to devote all of his massive scientific braininess, plus [+] some maths, to proving that all the weird space stuff about Thetans, Xenu etc, that's fundamental to the Scientology belief system, was scientifically accurate.
But Tom Cruise reckoned that this would be a waste of "Time" (something which Hawking is a bit of an expert on), and told him of his intense jealousy regarding the runaway commercial success of the salad dressings marketed by ageing rival hollywood actor [the now sadly late] Paul Newman.
Stephen Hawking was so grateful to Cruise for revealing to him the profound truths of the Scientology religion that he agreed to use all of his scientific powers, and nuclear physics itself, to create the finest salad dressing in the Entire Universe[s], which could be sold under the 'Scientology Salad Dressing' label, to raise money and spread the gospel according to old L. Ron, and blow "that old bastard" Newman and his salad dressing away.
For months Hawking toiled away in a secret subterranean Cambridge laboratory full of radioactive materials, egg whites, garlic, and olive oil, plus some top-grade balsamic vinegar, with the invaluable aid of lab assistant John Travolta, when finally his moment of ultimate triumph arrived!
The birth of Professor Stephen Hawking & Tom Cruise's Special Scientology Salad Dressing.
Very, very luckily, I was the only other person present, to capture the amazing moment on my trusty 75 year old Voigtlander Brilliant box camera, loaded with Eddie Olive's special x-pro out-of-date slide film.
I processed it in some of the highly radioactive 'Scientology Salad Dressing' immediately after exposure, then scanned and sharpened with my 'Mac-a-Mania' home-written photo processing software,,, with the above results,
A true "exclusive", I feel!

Introduction: Risk and Reward
If you ask me, submission is an art form. It requires dedication, focus, commitment and desireæand there’s no single way of doing it. It’s about unlocking something within yourself so you can reach beyond your normal limits, exposing your body and soul in order to go somewhere you cannot get to alone.
I had a lover who always told me that the key to life is “High risk, high reward.” The same is true about kink, and this is evident throughout the stories in Please, Sir, which explores female submission and male dominance from the sub’s point of view. When these characters take risks, they are rewarded…even when those rewards look like “punishment.” They are rewarded in all kinds of ways, from being bound to being praised to being choked, spanked or put on display. They are rewarded by being tested again and again.
The women in these stories approach submission in different ways. Some, like Tess Danesi’s protagonist in “I Breathe Your Name,” live on the edge of fear and get off on pushing the limits with their masters, though they don’t always know where their boldness will take them. Some of these women are drawn to the charisma of a born leader, one like Krav Maga instructor, Dominic, in Emerald’s “Power over Power.” Jackie, his student, has been watching and fantasizing about him, but when he finally acknowledges her sexually, she is caught off guard:
I trembled, wanting to touch him but feeling frozen. Still looking at the ground, I nodded.
With characteristic efficiency of motion, he reached with one finger and pulled my chin up. A shudder ran through me as I felt his poweræthe power I saw in every move he made, that he exuded at the front of the class, that he spoke when he told us what we were capable of, that coiled and expelled from him whenever he slammed any part of his body into the punching bag. This was the power that lived unquestioned within him, so seamlessly that it was as though it wouldn’t exist without him.
Others don’t expect to be getting kinky at all, like the “Mommy’s Boy” in Doug Harrison’s story, where tables get turned in a most delightful way. In Lisabet Sarai’s “Stroke,” a woman risks getting kinky at work in order to realize her dream:
I just stood there, petrified by mingled fear and excitement. If anyone discovered us, I'd lose my job. I'd never work as a nurse again. Five years of education down the drain. But this might be my only chance. The chance to make my fantasies real.
The lesson there, and in all of these stories, is that there is risk involved in submission. I don’t mean the physical risks, but the emotional ones, the ones that require a leap of faith, a knowledge that what you are doing may unnerve you, confuse you and scare you, even while it makes you wet and eager and ready for more. As we see in Shanna Germain’s opening story, “Anticipation,” merely thinking about what he might do next, playing with power in one’s own mind, can yield profound results:
I can no longer breathe, much less make a noise of want. This is what he does to me, every day: whips me into a frenzy of words that makes me miss him more than I have the power to say, that makes me so wet that if he were here, I’d fuck him right now, bent over this table, with all these people watching, groaning his name with every thrust. I’d be begging him to fuck me, beat me, make me come with the kind of orgasm that makes everything else disappear.
I have to go, back to the work that calls, the work that keeps me here in this foreign and fuckless place, but I don’t want to.
Some, like Kissa Starling’s heroine, are brats, and enjoy pushing their masters to the limit. Some don’t deliberately provoke anyone, but wind up bent over anyway. However they come to their submission (and come from their submission), their journey is one charged with the spark of passing power between two people, of welcoming the risk of submission and all it entails.
I like the women in this collection, and not just because they remind me of me when I’m reveling in being slapped across the face, forced to the ground, utterly at my chosen lover’s (or master’s, or partner’s or top’s) mercy. It’s not just the actions here that are familiar, but the reasoning, the way they crave and cringe in the face of the power they are claiming, and the power they are giving up. They are smart enough to know that kink is not about simply embracing one’s fears, but grappling with them, battling with them, taking risks and seeing if, in fact, they yield very sexy rewards.

Micronesian, islander worldviews differ, in degree, although not in kind, from western logic; scientific; and also, religious perspectives. They offer provocative alternative ways of thinking about the world and our place in it - Conceptual Outlines of Correlative Nondual, Dual, and Monist Philosophies.
As cultural misunderstanding is often due to people’s inability to navigate between correlative nondual worldviews and ways of knowing, versus modern logic and scientific thinking. Logic, as a branch of Philosophy, studies the processes of reasoning; that is, the means by which evidence is used to make claims or draw conclusions. Academic logicians emphasize that statements are either true or false. A statement’s truth-value is founded on three principles of logical reasoning, namely: identity (true is true), the excluded middle (true or false), and noncontradiction (not, both true and false). In academic and scientific thinking, the contextual situation and the subjects’ experiences are important only to the extent that they impact, influence, and effect how a person determines the truth-value of the premises and conclusion of an argument. The enigma of the external world is never fully decoded by linguistic expressions. In Pacific correlative thinking, knowledge based on statements is only a minor part of a complex truth-reality perspective that must be manifested in the way the knower exhibits and lives, the aesthetic, moral, and intellectual virtues in everyday life. The community of knowers maintain the knowledge base in the cultural practices and beliefs, such as their rituals and moral practices of prohibition, beliefs regarding the interplay between cosmic-order and social-order, and their ontological worldview impacting beliefs in the sky-world, afterlife, spirit-body relation, how their cosmology influences navigation, and so on
Ho deciso di creare questo stencil perché incarna perfettamente il concetto di soggettivismo (secondo il mio personale giudizio, naturalmente).
Chiunque, ad un primo impatto, vede in questa foto un uomo di origini africane dietro una rete, con alle spalle un paesaggio ed un clima familiari al soggetto stesso.
L’immagine evoca istintivamente un sentimento forte, di pena e compassione per la sorte dell’uomo, poiché le emozioni agiscono in noi ancor prima del ragionamento.
Ma provate per un attimo ad assumere un punto si vista differente...
Provate ad abbandonare i preconcetti sociali che offuscano la vostra vista…
Se ciò che continuate a vedere è solo e soltanto un uomo africano imprigionato dietro una rete assieme alla sua terra, in realtà, ad essere dietro la rete, potreste essere voi…
(In altre parole la rete non ha altri confini, tali da fare comprendere che l’uomo sia racchiuso; la rete divide solamente voi da lui, perciò non è detto che ad essere imprigionato sia per forza lui!)
Il mio lavoro intende solamente proporre uno spunto di riflessione, per comprendere che ogni cosa si modifica a seconda del punto di vista da cui la si guarda (da qui il titolo, “Soggettivismo”), e che, abbandonando determinati pregiudizi un fratellanza maggiore è realmente possibile.

_________________________________
I decided to create this stencil because it perfectly represents the concept of subjectivism (in my opinion).
At first sight, one sees an African man behind a wire net and a typical landscape of his region. The image instinctively evokes a strong feeling of pity; this happens because emotions are stronger than reasoning in human nature.
But try to take a different point of view for a moment…
Try to lay aside the social prejudices of everyday life…
If you continue to see only an African man and his land jailed behind a wire net, in truth, the only one that is behind the net is you…
(In other words, the wire net serves no other function in the image, such as giving you proof that the African man is behind the net; the wire net only serves to divide you from him, so you are not sure he’s the one who is in fact jailed!)
My artwork only invites one to reflect, to consider and understand that everything is relative to the observer's point of view and is therefore subjective (hence the title). If you try to abandon prejudice, real brotherhood is truly possible.

Name: Crimson Cloak (The Cloak)
Secret Identity: Gage Garnet, One time reporter and writer, he has almost fully devoted his time to crime fighting in recent years nearly forsaking his true identity.
Age: late 30s.
Skills/Powers:
* Super human stamina
* Advanced strength from constant conditioning and exercise
* Advanced intellect, intelligence, and deductive reasoning skills
* Knowledge of various forms of martial arts and fighting styles
* No known “super powers”
Weapons:
***All of the Cloak’s weapons are provided by his friend and inventor William Watts, the owner of Watt Teach Industries and fellow hero Captain Electron.
The Crimson Cloak wears a suit of flexible fiber body armor. His red cape and cowl are both bullet proof and flame proof. He wears a set of goggles that help to magnify his night vision, aiding him in low light environments. His preferred weapon of choice is a high tech staff that detaches at the center to create two smaller batons for close quarter combat. The tip of each baton is slightly electrified to aid The Cloak in dispatching his foes in a non-lethal manner. The Cloak also has an optional "gun" that he can use to launch various non-lethal projectiles at his enemies.
For getting to the scene fast, the Cloak rides a highly modified and experimental Watt Tech Cycle www.flickr.com/photos/10211834@N07/9400169817/in/photostr.... In the past during his tenure on the original League of Heroes, he drove a self-modified car called the Crimson Cruiser.
Background/Origin Story:
Gage Garnet has always been a man obsessed with doing what is right, no matter the costs to himself or to others. During his youth, he was obsessed with comics and yearned to be like those men on the colorful pages. He and his brother Jack would spend hours dressing up like superheroes imagining that they were saving the world. As Gage matured, he showed more of an interest in writing and moved to the big city to pursue his interests. While working for The City Tribune, Gage covered a series of stories involving the rise of real heroes in the city. Men and women who put on costumes to fight crime, it was like his dream come true and here he was on the front lines documenting their rise to power.
Tragically, in the midst of Gage’s rise to success as a reporter, his family home is robbed. His parents are murdered by the robbers as they protect his younger brother Jack. Feeling helpless and partly responsible for not being there, Gage crafts his own costume and decides to track down those responsible for the murder, thus adopting his alter ego The Crimson Cloak.
It isn’t long before Gage is covering the stories of his own exploits, articles that soon reach the attention of a fledgling group of masked heroes known as the League of Heroes. The Cloak is invited to join the League. For the next few years, Gage fights crime along side the virtuous members of the League of Heroes. Keeping the city safe.
As the League of Heroes grows stronger and more powerful, Cobalt Cyclone, Silver Sentry, and Viridia all decide that it would be best to remove their masks publicly to gain the trust of the citizens and to remove any doubt that could be cast upon them by a growing crowd of skeptics. The Crimson Cloak disagrees with this measure, as he does not want his career in vigilantism to hurt his brother’s reputation at his new job on the police force. The Cloak declares that he will step down from the team and leave his career as a superhero behind. Gothic, a fellow teammate and also a detractor of this measure, does not wish to have his identity revealed though he will make an even more public statement of protest.
The day arrives for the big reveal, the heroes are all assembled on the steps of City Hall, Cobalt Cyclone steps up to the microphone and addresses the crowd… and BOOM! A bomb explodes from underneath the podium killing Cyclone, severely injuring Silver Sentry, and sending the crowd into a panic. The Crimson Cloak swings into action, and begins investigating the crime. By following the clues he soon comes to the conclusion that The Skull, the most powerful crime boss in the city was behind the plot. Though he is in for an even bigger surprise when he discovers that The Skull is in fact his former friend and teammate Gothic.
In the wake of the bombing, the League of Heroes falls apart. Public support for masked heroes hits an all time low. The Crimson Cloak decides that he will be all that stands between the evil that plagues the city and the justice that he feels the citizens deserve. Becoming darker and more detached, The Crimson Cloak becomes obsessed with his self-imposed duty even at the expense of losing his own identity in the process.
Relationship to Other Characters:

No real history on this one, but I've had it marked on my map for a while. Luckily on the way home yesterday on my drive, I was out by this beauty of a sculpture/art. I'd love to know the reasoning behind it.
There are many ways in which a why question can be answered. The word itself relates to a questioning, reasoning, exclamation. A pause in the life to point something out or draw attention to the extraordinary in some way.
Why can be both up and down. Why can evoke purpose, passion and spark ideas, new thoughts, new action.
But sometimes a why is confused. Sometimes a why is both hopeless and helpless. Sometimes the rest of the world looks on with a why so big it changes everything.
On Thursday 3rd September 2015, The Independent newspaper in the UK printed a full page colour photograph as it's lead story. The image was of a 3 year old Syrian refugee called Alan Kurdi, he was lying facedown at the edge of the Aegean sea whilst a Turkish Officer Sgt. Major Mehmet Ciplak was approaching him, about to discover Alan had drowned at sea along with his mother Rehanna and his 5 year old brother Ghalib.
Damian sent me the photo by messenger. He just wrote "I can't stop crying". As soon as I saw it, I had the same reaction. An utter despair of "He is a baby, he never asked for this, he is alone, where is his mum?" and then the comparisons, of all the children that represents for us personally. And the horror that confronts us all- he is a fellow human being and he reached 3 years old before his life was cut short because the water overpowered him. He was in the water because he hasn't been afforded the security of a safe place to call home because Syria is a warzone and so his family were forced to take steps to escape.
The BBC have written a very good article about the power of the photograph and why it cut through the world both vividly and viral. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34150419
And so we are left to reconcile our own thoughts to this. I have read and heard so many different points of view but I am increasingly frustrated by those who claim to assert the position of ''we are full up''. Just because we are born into a lifestyle and a country does not mean that by default WE own it all. Equality for all will only exist when diversity and inclusive thinking exists across the masses and doing the right thing means stepping in and helping out before a baby washes up on the shores of Turkey.
As part of the article by the BBC, Will Wintercross (an award-winning war photographer for the Daily Telegraph) makes the comment:
"Pictures like this are taken all the time, but not necessarily filed all the time because they are so graphic," he says. "Most will hardly ever be seen by anyone."
"In Syria you see so much that's gory that you start to filter out what's not worth photographing ... You just know some pictures will never be used."
This really just underlines my own thoughts and feelings towards photography- it must be relevant and real. Whether that be joy, or sadness, pleasure or pain. I am sure there are 1000 Alan's whose deaths have all mattered and counted. When we see a neat little bar chart of filtered statistics we are unable to SEE the true horror existing in the lives of people on the same planet as us. These photos must be taken, no matter if no one has the courage to publish them, they need to represent, remember and announce to the world that this life happened.
I am using this self-portrait to enter the SNAP photo festival (#snapphotofest) competition.
I feel that I have reached a place where I am ready to go beyond evoking a feeling and an idea, a smile or an emotion and I now want to take my photography to the level of making it matter. Because people matter. Because their lives matter. Because there is something within me that drives me harder, makes me think further and makes me question WHY to everything I see and I need to find a way of connecting the dots and organising my thoughts enough to make that move.

Rapid strata formation in soft sand (field evidence).
Photo of strata formation in soft sand on a beach, created by tidal action of the sea.
Formed in a single, high tidal event. Stunning evidence which displays multiple strata/layers.
Why this is so important ....
It has long been assumed, ever since the 17th century, that layers/strata observed in sedimentary rocks were built up gradually, layer upon layer, over many years. It certainly seemed logical at the time, from just looking at rocks, that lower layers would always be older than the layers above them, i.e. that lower layers were always laid down first followed, in time, by successive layers on top.
This was assumed to be true and became known as the superposition principle.
It was also assumed that a layer comprising a different material from a previous layer, represented a change in environmental conditions/factors.
These changes in composition of layers or strata were considered to represent different, geological eras on a global scale, spanning millions of years. This formed the basis for the Geologic Column, which is used to date rocks and also fossils. The evolutionary, 'fossil record' was based on the vast ages and assumed geological eras of the Geologic Column.
There was also circular reasoning applied with the assumed age of 'index' fossils (based on evolutionary beliefs & preconceptions) used to date strata in the Geologic Column. Dating strata from the assumed age of fossils is known as Biostratigraphy.
We now know that, although these assumptions seemed logical, they are not supported by the evidence.
At the time, the mechanics of stratification were not properly known or studied.
An additional factor was that this assumed superposition and uniformitarian model became essential, with the wide acceptance of Darwinism, for the long ages required for progressive microbes-to-human evolution. There was no incentive to question or challenge the superposition, uniformitarian model, because the presumed, fossil 'record' had become dependant on it, and any change in the accepted model would present devastating implications for Darwinism.
This had the unfortunate effect of linking the study of geology so closely to Darwinism, that any study independent of Darwinian considerations was effectively stymied.
Some of the wealth of evidence can be observed here: field evidence www.flickr.com/photos/101536517@N06/sets/72157635944904973/
and also in the links to stunning, experimental evidence, carried out by sedimentologists, given later..
_______________________________________________
GEOLOGIC PRINCIPLES (established by Nicholas Steno in the 17th Century):
What Nicolas Steno believed about strata formation is the basis of the principle of Superposition and the principle of Original Horizontality.
dictionary.sensagent.com/Law_of_superposition/en-en/
“Assuming that all rocks and minerals had once been fluid, Nicolas Steno reasoned that rock strata were formed when particles in a fluid such as water fell to the bottom. This process would leave horizontal layers. Thus Steno's principle of original horizontality states that rock layers form in the horizontal position, and any deviations from this horizontal position are due to the rocks being disturbed later.”)
BEDDING PLANES.
'Bedding plane' describes the surface in between each stratum which are formed during sediment deposition.
science.jrank.org/pages/6533/Strata.html
“Strata form during sediment deposition, that is, the laying down of sediment. Meanwhile, if a change in current speed or sediment grain size occurs or perhaps the sediment supply is cut off, a bedding plane forms. Bedding planes are surfaces that separate one stratum from another. Bedding planes can also form when the upper part of a sediment layer is eroded away before the next episode of deposition. Strata separated by a bedding plane may have different grain sizes, grain compositions, or colours. Sometimes these other traits are better indicators of stratification as bedding planes may be very subtle.”
______________________________________________
Several catastrophic events, flash floods, volcanic eruptions etc. have forced Darwinian, influenced geologists to admit to rapid stratification in some instances. However they claim it is a rare phenomenon, which they have known about for many years, and which does nothing to invalidate the Geologic Column, the fossil record, evotuionary timescale, or any of the old assumptions regarding strata formation, sedimentation and the superposition principle. They fail to face up to the fact that rapid stratification is not an extraordinary phenonemon, but rather the prevailing and normal mechanism of sedimentary deposition whenever and wherever there is moving, sediment-laden water. The experimental evidence demonstrates the mechanism and a mass of field evidence in normal (non-catastrophic) conditions shows it is a normal everyday occurrence.
It is clear from the experimental evidence that the usual process of stratification is - that strata are not formed by horizontal layers being laid on top of each other in succession, as was assumed. But by sediment being sorted in the flowing water and laid down diagonally in the direction of flow. See diagram:
www.flickr.com/photos/truth-in-science/39821536092/in/dat...
The field evidence (in the image) presented here - of rapid, simultaneous stratification refutes the Superposition Principle, and the Principle of Lateral Continuity.
We now know, the Superposition Principle only applies on a rare occasion of sedimentary deposits in perfectly, still water. Superposition is required for the long evolutionary timescale, but the evidence shows it is not the general rule, as was once believed. Most sediment is laid down in moving water, where particle segregation is the general rule, resulting in the simultaneous deposition of strata/layers as shown in the photo.
See many other examples of rapid stratification with geological features: www.flickr.com/photos/101536517@N06/sets/72157635944904973/
Rapid, simultaneous formation of layers/strata, through particle segregation in moving water, is so easily created it has even been described by sedimentologists (working on flume experiments) as a law ...
"Upon filling the tank with water and pouring in sediments, we immediately saw what was to become the rule: The sediments sorted themselves out in very clear layers. This became so common that by the end of two weeks, we jokingly referred to Andrew's law as "It's difficult not to make layers," and Clark's law as "It's easy to make layers." Later on, I proposed the "law" that liquefaction destroys layers, as much to my surprise as that was." Ian Juby, www.ianjuby.org/sedimentation/
The example in the photo is the result of normal, everyday tidal action in a single incident. Where the water current or movement is more turbulent, violent, or catastrophic, great depths (many metres) of stratified sediment can be laid down in a short time. Certainly not the many millions of years assumed by evolutionists.
The composition of strata formed in any deposition event. is related to whatever materials are in the sediment mix, not to any particular timescale. Whatever is in the mix will be automatically sorted into strata/layers. It could be sand, or other material added from mud slides, erosion of chalk deposits, coastal erosion, volcanic ash etc. Any organic material (potential fossils), alive or dead, engulfed by, or swept into, a turbulent sediment mix, will also be sorted and buried within the rapidly, forming layers.

Stratified, soft sand deposit. demonstrates the rapid, stratification principle.
Important, field evidence which supports the work of the eminent, sedimentologist Dr Guy Berthault MIAS - Member of the International Association of Sedimentologists.
(Dr Berthault's experiments (www.sedimentology.fr/)
And also the experimental work of Dr M.E. Clark (Professor Emeritus, U of Illinois @ Urbana), Andrew Rodenbeck and Dr. Henry Voss, (www.ianjuby.org/sedimentation/)
Location: Sandown, Isle of Wight. Formed 21/02/2018, This field evidence demonstrates that multiple strata in sedimentary deposits do not need millions of years to form and can be formed rapidly. This natural example confirms the principle demonstrated by the sedimentation experiments carried out by Dr Guy Berthault and other sedimentologists. It calls into question the standard, multi-million year dating of sedimentary rocks, and the dating of fossils by depth of burial or position in the strata.
Mulltiple strata/layers are evident in this example.
Dr Berthault's experiments (www.sedimentology.fr/) and other experiments (www.ianjuby.org/sedimentation/) and field studies of floods and volcanic action show that, rather than being formed by gradual, slow deposition of sucessive layers superimposed upon previous layers, with the strata or layers representing a particular timescale, particle segregation in moving water or airborne particles can form strata or layers very quickly, frequently, in a single event.
And, most importantly, lower strata are not necessarily older than upper strata, they can be the same age, having been created in the same, sedimentary episode.
Such field studies confirm experiments which have shown that there is no longer any reason to conclude that strata/layers in sedimentary rocks relate to different geological eras and/or a multi-million year timescale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PVnBaqqQw8&feature=share&.... they also show that the relative position of fossils in rocks is not indicative of an order of evolutionary succession. Obviously, the uniformitarian principle, on which the geologic column is based, can no longer be considered valid. And the multi-million, year dating of sedimentary rocks and fossils needs to be reassessed. Rapid deposition of stratified sediments also explains the enigma of polystrate fossils, i.e. large fossils that intersect several strata. In some cases, tree trunk fossils are found which intersect the strata of sedimentary rock up to forty feet in depth. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Lycopsi... They must have been buried in stratified sediment in a short time (certainly not millions, thousands, or even hundreds of years), or they would have rotted away. youtu.be/vnzHU9VsliQ
In fact, the vast majority of fossils are found in good, intact condition, which is testament to their rapid burial. You don't get good fossils from gradual burial, because they would be damaged or destroyed by decay, predation or erosion. The existence of so many fossils in sedimentary rock on a global scale is stunning evidence for the rapid depostion of sedimentary rock as the general rule. It is obvious that all rock containing good intact fossils was formed from sediment laid down in a very short time, not millions, or even thousands of years.
See set of photos of other examples of rapid stratification: www.flickr.com/photos/101536517@N06/sets/72157635944904973/
Carbon dating of coal should not be possible if it is millions of years old, yet significant amounts of Carbon 14 have been detected in coal and other fossil material, which indicates that it is less than 50,000 years old. www.ldolphin.org/sewell/c14dating.html
www.grisda.org/origins/51006.htm
Evolutionists confidently cite multi-million year ages for rocks and fossils, but what most people don't realise is that no one actually knows the age of sedimentary rocks or the fossils found within them. So how are evolutionists so sure of the ages they so confidently quote? The astonishing thing is they aren't. Sedimentary rocks cannot be dated by radiometric methods*, and fossils can only be dated to less than 50,000 years with Carbon 14 dating. The method evolutionists use is based entirely on assumptions. Unbelievably, fossils are dated by the assumed age of rocks, and rocks are dated by the assumed age of fossils, that's right ... it is known as circular reasoning.
* Regarding the radiometric dating of igneous rocks, which is claimed to be relevant to the dating of sedimentary rocks, in an occasional instance there is an igneous intrusion associated with a sedimentary deposit -
Prof. Aubouin says in his Précis de Géologie: "Each radioactive element disintegrates in a characteristic and constant manner, which depends neither on the physical state (no variation with pressure or temperature or any other external constraint) nor on the chemical state (identical for an oxide or a phosphate)."
"Rocks form when magma crystallizes. Crystallisation depends on pressure and temperature, from which radioactivity is independent. So, there is no relationship between radioactivity and crystallisation.
Consequently, radioactivity doesn't date the formation of rocks. Moreover, daughter elements contained in rocks result mainly from radioactivity in magma where gravity separates the heavier parent element, from the lighter daughter element. Thus radiometric dating has no chronological signification." Dr. Guy Berthault www.sciencevsevolution.org/Berthault.htm

The neo-Darwinian idea that the human genome consists entirely of an accumulation of billions of mutations is, quite obviously, completely bonkers. Nevertheless, it is compulsorily taught in schools and universities as 'science'.
I tried reasoning with an 11 month-old. "Jacob, please leave the toilet paper alone. Nobody wants to use toilet paper that looks suspiciously crumbled and rewound onto a roll." Guess how that went?
By the mid 1950's, the x-ray machine, to view how your feet fit into your new shoes,
was removed from stores. The reasoning being that unnecessary x-rays were harmful to a person.
True or false? Who can tell. But I have to say, it certainly was a very cool thing.
My shoe store had to have one, though.
