So here I go again! I'm back on the weight reduction road ;-) I started to be more careful about what I'm eating nearly three weeks ago and I can't deny that by simply not munching on the so-called "naughty" things, my weight has indeed started to move in a downwards direction! I'm taking this in small bite-size (pun intended LOL) steps; my first aim is to shed 56 pounds, which will bring me down to 18 stone (252 pounds). I'm trying not to think too far ahead, as it's a tad depressing to think of my long-haul goal weight!! So for the time being, I'm just concentrating on this first lot of 56 pounds :-D
Why did I buy a pink toothbrush? At the time, it didn't occur to me that we wouldn't still be a couple. At least when you're living alone there's no one to make fun of you.
Harsh, yet glossy, reality

Shake reduction is a good thing. 1/5 shutter even at ISO 400. I could have went to 800, but didn't see the need. I think a flash should have ruined this shot too. The spotlights were bad enough.

A little linocut based on my watercolour of Greg Durrett for JKPP. It looks less and less like him, but that wasn't really the point any more. It's nice to do a lino portrait anyway, even if it was just a quick test one. (I cut it whilst manning my stall at a Christmas fair)
This is from the Sony a77 Multi Frame Noise Reduction setting taking three shots. It did not blend correctly.... Just a guess on my part

CLOSE THE CAMPS - Day 18 - Public Health & Harm Reduction
August 18, 2019 - Day 18 of a Month of Actions at ICE in San Francisco to CLOSE THE CAMPS.
From the organizers of the Day 18 rally:
"WE unite together as doctors, nurses, public health workers/researchers and advocates and as harm reductionists to confront the lethal obscenity of Trump’s concentration camps and policies of medical neglect and abuse toward those seeking refuge in our country.
It is imperative for health care providers to take an official and public stand against the inhuman treatment (in some cases, overseen by licensed medical professionals) at these ever-expanding detention facilities, at the conscious policy of neglect that is tantamount to torture and that has resulted in the wholly-avoidable deaths of at least 7 asylum-seeking children in the last few months. This needs to be called out and delegitimized, much as when professional psychiatrists/psychologists enabled and legitimized the brutal torture techniques at Guantanamo and CIA secret rendition-sites and were eventually confronted. That time is now.
PLEASE unite with us, concerned healthcare providers and public health workers from the UCSF, DPH and harm-reduction services communities in witness and opposition."
