Statue located at Peer Gynt nursing home at Moss - south Norway. My grand grand grand grand grand etc.. mother was one of the last to be burnt at the stake as a witch, in Elverum, Norway in 17th century - the pic is in memory of her, I can kind of feel the pain in my bones still.
This is the tomb of Marco Manuel Avellaneda who was the governor of Tucumán Province in Argentina, and father of the Argentine President Nicolás Avellaneda. He was executed after an unsuccessful revolt against the Federal government, and his head was displayed on a pike.The tomb is located in the famous Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires.
One of my favorite places. Its nearly forgotten place situated among the fields on a little hill far from the buildings - quiet and peaceful.

I took 5 shots of this statue moving slightly for each once creating this quintuple exposure.

This is at the Texas Ranger heritage center Fredericksburg,Texas.
I have had several friends that were Texas Rangers. That was my dream as a young man but life carried me into other careers.

sex.
Pistons and anemones and giggling and frustration and epileptic frenzy and The Vacuum. It is plain that the female unit and the male unit are, while functionally complimentary, stylistically at odds. They have different RPMs and different metabolisms. Boys grow up programmed that sex is about jack hammers and stud horses, James Bond, coitus as imperator in triumph.
I wont feign to understand the deeper currents of feminine sexuality, but its clear to me that it operates in a realm of textures and emotion, glide and leverage, a voluptuous blooming.
On the levels of forms, sexuality is a country dog mounting a windowsill cat. But not always...
We all have a gentle fantasy of lovemaking as a spockish melding of spirits. Theoretically it might just happen, but in a world of flat tires, overdue bills, and workplace deadlines lovemaking is more a sharing of pleasure, of relief, of a delicious distraction. There is little enough time for a real daily spirituality, let alone a blinding spiritual sexuality.
Next time you are at a theme park or a bowling alley or a DMV, look around. Notice all the different species of people. Everyone one of them has a history, a hope, a couple of real mind-blowing secrets, a bank account, a paralyzing fear, a place where they sleep, frustrations, and a sexuality. They have all French kissed. They have all learned how to drive. They have all crawled into the dark corner, pulled a baby nipple over a bottle of booze, and whimpered themselves into the null and the void. They all have...just like you.
This isn’t about some Orwellian cultural homogeneity. This is about human beings. We aren’t Ford's black cars. We are more like a library of books, shelves and shelves and shelves of stories. The difference is that some are poorly written, some have simpering plots, some are technical manuals, some are trashy romances - and some, a few really, are actually great literature.
Another oldie from my archives. This was taken on my trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island back in May, 2008.
Many of the Soviet era statues have been collected and put on display in a park in the outskirts of Budapest...Interesting ideological point that money is being made out of tourists going to see the statues - wonder what the communists would have thought of that?

Statue on the River Walk outside SAMA. Was a business trip, so I could only pack a small point and shoot. Did not get name of the statue.
