Michael Jackson is seen here on the balcony of his suite at the Kahala Hilton Hotel in early February 1988. He is standing on the balcony with James ("Jimmy") Safechuck.
The boy, Jimmy Safechuck, had appeared in a Pepsi commercial with Michael and was traveling with him. He was sexually abused by Michael Jackson between 1988 and 1992 according to the documentary LEAVING NEVERLAND. The sexual abuse began in early June of 1988 in a Paris hotel room, about 4 months after this photograph was taken
Michael and Jimmy Safechuck were inseparable around the hotel together, chasing each other, playing tag, making soap bubbles on this balcony of the hotel, walking closely on the beach together and looking at the hotel's dolphins, turtles and penguins together. They dressed identically in red shirts and black pants.
Michael, though 29 1/2 years old at the time, acted more like someone Jimmy's age. Jimmy is about 10 years old at this time.
Michael and Jimmy were staying at the Kahala Hilton Hotel (today called Kahala Resort) and I saw them 7 different times around the hotel over 3 days.
Michael was in Hawaii to make an appearance at a Pepsi bottlers convention that was taking place at another hotel 15 minutes away, the Sheraton-Waikiki Hotel, a 30-story hotel located in the heart of crowded and touristy Waikiki Beach.
This was four years after Michael's scalp was burned during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, two years after he was diagnosd with vitiligo, a skin condition, one month before he finalized the purchase of the land that would become Neverland, and four months before he began sexually molesting Safechuck according to the documentary Leaving Neverland.
By the way, I have seen the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland and I believe Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck. Others feel differently.

My niece Kathryn (not Kathy if you please! LOL) caught at a moment when she did not know she was being photographed. This was at a family reunion in 2004 in Oklahoma City. Someone had brought bubbles for the kids to play with. They were all playing along the side of the pavillion we had reserved for the festivities and I had a strong telephoto lens on my 35mm in the middle of the pavillion just scanning around to get candids of everyone. I closed in on the kids and just then, Kathryn stepped back into the sunlight and I knew I had a great shot if only it turned out. I am NOT professional and what I know about F stops is that they are some function on the camera I have yet to discover. I only know I shoot what I like and thank the makers for putting that lovely green A for auto on the camera LOL. She seems like she is looking at me, but she was focused on the bubbles and the pure delight of being a kid surrounded by people she knows love her. I was actually about 30 feet or so away and in the shade.
Some of you that have viewed my husband (Wade In Tulsa)'s photo stream may or may not remember this image. When he talked me into creating my own account, this and several other images that I took he removed from his stream so I can post them here.
Someone set the meshes and textures for this outfit to me and asked if I would put it in an esp.. which I did.. use console commands or additemmenu to add in your game. www.mediafire.com/file/z649worr4ynawia/KillVER-EX_Asherz.7z
Ok, this time it was me. I went into BJ's to stock up on stuff and couldn't resist these. I guess I completed my mission in that I stocked up on bras and panties... If you want to see them on me you need to ask ;)

There's all the time and all the planning,
And songs, to be finished.
Went up on the roof today to get a shot for the school website's banner. Sam and Lamb (to whom I credit the adventure) weren't quite ready to leave.
A great piece of work from an upcoming street artist (and personal friend)....who shall remain anonymous. As with many things in life, sometimes less is more.

This photo was taken near the corner of Barrow and Hudson Street in Greenwich Village.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing vanything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
