DPAC & UK Uncut hold ATOS Closing Ceremony - 31.08.2012
As the Grand Finale to a week-long national campaign of protests against French IT company ATOS Origin and its spinoff ATOS Healthcare which carries out the much-criticised Wirk Capability Assessments on behalf of the DWP, which has seen tens of thousands of severely sick and disabled people declared to be "Fit for Work" and thrown off their disability benefits, several hundred activists from DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), WinVisible, Disabled Activists' Network, UK Uncut, Right to Work Campaign, Unite the Union, the GMB Union, Occupy London and the National UNion of Students descended on ATOS' London headquarters to carry out what they had billed as the "ATOS Closing Ceremony" - a reference to ATOS' hugely derided sponsorship of the Paralympic Games which is, say the activists, an act of spectatular cynicism by a corporation which is currently contracted by the Cameron government to the tune of £100 million to conduct the much-feared medical assessments without any reference whatsoever to peoples' medical notes of histories.
For two hours the crowd chanted slogans, listened to oral testimonies from people whose lives have been badly affected by ATOS decisions, heard accounts of people driven into such despair by dealing with ATOS that they have comitted suicide, and also heard many accounts of seriously ill people thrown off their benefits by ATOS who have been forced to look for work - having been declared fit for work - and who have died shortly afterwards. The list of people irreperably harmed by ATOS' computer-driven tick-box assessment which cannot possibly take into account the huge range of physical and mental disabilities seems endless.
Following some dogged Freedom of Information requests by two Daily Mirror journalists earlier this year it is now known that an average of 32 sickness or disability benefit claimnants who have been thrown off their benefits by the DWP following an ATOS zero-point rating and placed in the Work-Related Activity Group or who have been put on Jobseeker's Allowance have died shortly afterwards. In many instances relatives of the deceased have claimed that the stress of being treated in such an inhumane way by ATOS contributed to their deaths.
During the protest at Triton Square the 500-strong crowd were entertained by a street theatre performance which saw a fraudulent "ATOS Miracle Cure" booth set up. The "ATOS Reverend" would lay hands on a disabled person and tell them that "by the power of ATOS you are no longer disabled", and sent them through the ATOS Miracle Cure arch, but sadly once through the arch the disabled people realised they had been tricked and they were still, of course, disabled... but worse was to come, as each disabled person was then confronted by an "ATOS Doctor" who stated that because they were now officially no longer disabled and were fit for work they could now be assigned to do their dream jobs, to which end the phoney doctor handed each person a sheet of paper on which was written "100 meter runner", "Bar Tender", "Mountain Climber" and other completely unsuitable job titles.
At around 2:30pm a section of the crowd took off and headed for Westminster where they picketed outside the Department for Work and Pensions, during which an over-agressive action by the police resulted in a disabled man's shoulder being broken as he was knocked off his wheelchair when police shoved protesters into him.

Between 11th and 14th August 2011, Dun Laoghaire will be the only international stop on the world famous French Solitaire du Figaro sailing race. To celebrate the stopover of this iconic 3,390 km race, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, the Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company and the National Yacht Club have joined forces to create Festival des Bateaux.
Dun Laoghaire has a rich maritime and festival history and will play host to Festival des Bateaux for three days. The boats will be in port from the 12th to the 14th of August. The festival features a wide variety of French themed events and attractions. Highlights include fireworks on 12th August, a colourful and varied festival market on the East Pier, a festival stage at Harbour Plaza, festival theme and activities throughout Dun Laoghaire and the Air Core Pipe Band playing as the boats depart on Sunday 14th August. The Dun Laoghaire Business Association welcome the festivities with street bunting, festival Market, street buskers and music, themed shop windows & special floral displays, special Figaro menus in pubs & restaurants, face painting and children’s activities.
The Solitaire du Figaro is a solo multi-stage yacht race created in 1970. The unique character of the race, the presence of great solo sailors and it being open to amateurs, has made it one of the most cherished races in French sailing. For 2011, the single-handed sailors will face a 1,695 nautical mile race in four legs. Starting on 31st July the race will set off from Perros-Guirec in France on a 320 nautical mile stage to Caen. Departing on 7th August the second leg of 470 nautical miles will take the race to Dun Laoghaire arriving on 11th August. The third leg is 475 nautical miles long and the fleet then will set sail from Dun Laoghaire on 14th August to The Vendée in France and the legendary harbour of Les Sables d’Olonne. The fourth and final leg of 430 nautical miles, will take the fleet to Dieppe finishing on 24th August.
Randhurst Mall in Mount Prospect - Illinois will be closed and demolished at the end of September, 2008.
I was asked to delete all my photos by a young 20 something security guard. When I told him I wouldn't , he escorted me out.
Unfortunately this mall is no longer there.
I discovered this location while driving to the franco-cypriot school in Nicosia, Cyprus. These are governmental buildings next to the police academy. The complex is to be destroyed in the near future. I was interested in catching the effects of time on official government owned buildings.
When a security guard falls asleep on the job is he risking job security? He woke up shortly after i took this. I think he could feel my prying eyes.
This was the last style of badge worn by police officers of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland prior to officers being designated as Federal Law Enforcement Officers. Officers now have nationwide authority while on duty and acting on official business. This allows officers to perform essential law enforcement functions (protection details and escorts, etc.) without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries.

"Peep Show" Jeremy's Manager (2008)
Jeremy and Super Hans are thrilled when super-confident Cally agrees to be their manager, but less so when it turns out they're playing at a Christian rock festival. Mark, under the belief that Cally is "the one", joins up as roadie and finds her quite susceptible to his dubious charms. But when she decides Jeremy is holding Super Hans back, Mark has to decide between his new lover or his best friend's happiness.
Just a few more to go in my Africa street-photography series.
The security guard at a museum in the town of Stellenbosch makes a wonderful subject. The book must be very good as she seems to be completely absorbed by it and oblivious to anyone visiting the museum. I like the bright light of the window which provides a great back and rim light.
I would not have this picture if Sandra Michaelis (an amazing street photographer) had not pointed out this scene to me. To use a term coined by a friend, I "comp-stomped" her idea.
This is the first style of badge worn by officers of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland once they obtained official police powers granted to them by the state. All officers were "special police" officers and had powers of arrest while on duty with the bank.

Security guard at a mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
(45/100 Strangers) (602/365) "You ready to take a million dollar picture?" Charlie was a talker. "I don't know what I'm saying most of the time. I just say it." As I began taking pictures of this man sitting on the sidewalk, his buddy chimed in from a few feet away. "That's Mr. P." Charlie had him laughing the entire time, and seemed to have something to say to everyone who walked by. Women, men, even little kids. Charlie spends 6 days a week on W 7th Street, and Mr P works security for a building Mon-Fri. After his mother and father died, his sister took over their land, and unable to take it, he moved to New York from the South. "That was 40 years ago. I was mixed up with the wrong crowd, I guess." Charlie spent some time in prison, but "I'm not a child molester, I didn't hurt anyone, and I've never done any drugs. I never will. I am an alcoholic." He seemed to have his wits about him, and had a good spirit toward everyone. "I'm homeless, not helpless." The entire time, Charlie was kidding around, including this shot where he asked Mr. P to act like he was arresting Charlie. The biggest struggle for this shoot was chosing a shot to represent Charlie's personality. He made so many poses, and interacted with so many people. He gave me a good 30-40 shots before we ended. I have been using my 85mm, which forces me to move back from my subject to get the framing right. That has also offered some feels where I feel I'm backing away from my subjects, and sending the wrong message. As a result, my crops are often very tight.

We got back from another succesful UPfest in Bristol last night and were just glad that we managed to get the bulk of our work done on Saturday – when the sun was shining, the crowds were plentiful and the beer was flowing. Sunday turned out to be a different story but at least we managed to get our piece completed and still had time for a good look around.
After an early start on Saturday morning (following some feverish last minute preparations) we managed to make it to the Tobacco Factory for about 11.30 and then onto the Spotted Cow for a midday start. As we were a little late in arriving we got no choice in which boards we got but i think that eventually worked out to our advantage. Once we’d got disco-bag set up we got off to a quick start as we had plenty of work to be getting on with. By about 8pm we were pretty much done for the day so packed our stuff up and headed out for a few (more) beers. Whoever thought of putting us within such easy reach of alcohol in a pub garden certainly has a lot to answer for…
After a night on the town and a very rainy start to the day we return to the Spotted Cow to finish up to find that that some rogue decorators had obviously taken umbrage at our piece and had decided to show us a taste of our own medicine by wallpapering over the whole lot of it! It would also appear that the Grey Ghost Guards were around in the area (possibly in collusion with the rogue decorators) and looking to have our piece cleaned off the wall. Luckily we have some security footage so all will be revealed once we’ve had a chance to examine it and identify the perpatrators…
Anyway we did our best to remove the wallpaper and expose our image underneath resulting in a decayed and battered looking wall with the legend ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. I’ll get those pesky Daily Mail reading rogue decorators and Grey Ghost Guard critters if it’s the last thing i do…

Airman 1st Class Cody Cardinal, 94th Intelligence Squadron, returns an identification card to a Fort Meade visitor. On Monday, Fort Meade service members began assisting in manning the installation's five access control points. The addition of military personnel serving as security guards is part of a Directorate of Emergency Services mitigation plan to allow Fort Meade to transition from contract security guards to Department of Army security guards.

This photograph---taken in Renton, Washington---shows a motor-operated retractable gate that crosses a road. What makes this road special is that it is the access road used by The Boeing Company to move new 737 airplanes from the Renton Airport (at left) to a nearby company staging area (at right) where last-minute work is performed on planes before they are delivered to customers. I happened to photograph the gate because it was interesting. Here's the story...
While walking down the Cedar River Trail (at right) I stopped here to photograph whatever caught my fancy: planes, fence, tool box, vegetation, and this gate. I even got down on my knees to get a close shot of the long, rusty metal plate. As I snapped pictures, a private security guard who worked for Boeing Security had been watching me and came out of the staging area to talk to me. In a friendly and non-threatening manner he asked me what I was taking pictures of and why. He was uneasy about my activity but could not say exactly why.
We had a pleasant conversation, during which I explained my interest photographing all sorts of things because there is "beauty in the mundane" (or something like that). I also told him that I understood that photography from public places is legal no matter what the subject---even the 737 airplanes close at hand. He seemed to understand but was nonetheless "concerned." He never asked for my camera or request that I delete any photos. (I would have denied either request.) The conversation drifted into the fun aspects of photography and he eventually returned to his station.
At the time of the incident I was not thinking about whose property I was on. In retrospect, I was probably on Boeing property, so the security guard might have had a good reason to find out what was going on.

I went to get a burrito yesterday and as I pulled up to park, this security guard was writing his report of a car crashing in to Shear Cuts in Rohnert Park, Ca. The driver who backed in to the parking space, thought she was in drive when she put her foot on the gas pedal. No bodily injuries to the driver.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Two of my photographer friends, itching to shoot had invited me for a photo walk. I suggested that we should try the surrounding areas of the new mall, Abreeza since it has a nice landscape and had some interesting architectural elements.
As soon as we got there one late afternoon, the three of us took out our cameras and my two friends started shooting. We walked for a few meters just when I was about to shoot, a security guard in white uniform suddenly appeared. He called our attention asking what we were doing.
In fairness to the security guard, he was calm and very polite. He explained to us that the Ayala management, the owner do not allow shooting in the premises. Dismayed, we just put away our cameras and decided to call it a day since it was also about to rain. We then proceeded to get inside the mall.
The entrance guards inspected our bags. They saw our gears but did not make a fuzz about it. When we were inside, my two friends took out their cameras and began shooting. They were really itching to shoot.
When we got to the activity center of the mall, lo and behold, a car show sponsored by Repsol was going on. Vintage and sports cars were on display. People using mobile phones, digicams, SLRs, etc were posing and taking pictures of cars. Security guards were every where but I noticed they did not mind the cameras. They were standing next to the cars just to make sure people would not make dents on it.
We grabbed the opportunity and blended with the crowd. We just had our photo walk inside the mall! And it was well air-conditioned. It did not even broke us a sweat.
Then I noticed inside a hip pimped van, two lovely ladies taking a break eating McDonald sandwiches and fries. They were apparently Repsol's promotional models and their big boss was also inside the van entertaining them. So I waited for them to come out.
Just as soon as the two ladies came out to grace the occasion, I intercepted one of them and asked for her portrait. She immediately agreed. It was low light so I had pre-set my camera on the widest aperture and very high ISO. I took two shots and showed her the image. I was glad she liked it. I then told her about the 100 Strangers project on Flickr and asked permission to post it on line. She gave me her name and Facebook account. She is Marianne Mae Te, a college girl from Philippine Women's College of Davao. She moonlights as a free lance model and had joined bikini contests and beauty pageants. Lucky me, another addition to my glam set. I thanked her then sent my friend request in Facebook after I had uploaded this image.
When Marianne accepted my friend request, I shared the link of this page and thanked her again.
Thank you again, Marianne.
