Advocates Close is a narrow and steep alley in Edinburgh of medieval origin, redeveloped in the early 21st century. With a multiplicity of steps it is not accessible to disabled persons.
The street dates from at least the 15th century, and elements survive from at least the mid-16th century. At this time the street was a fashionable address, where the Scottish gentry and professionals would live with their family and servants. The name derives from the house of Sir James Stewart who was Lord Advocate of Scotland.

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
If you walk down the Royal Mile and you'll see open doorways near the castle end of the street. In Edinburgh terms, these are known as "closes"; basically, very old, narrow, steep streets once replete with open sewers. Now home to bars, restaurants, and museums, they offer a true taste of historic Edinburgh. Advocate's Close is a particularly interesting one; positioned up high, it affords views of the Scott Monument and a good portion of Edinburgh. Halfway down, The Devil's Advocate is a moodily lit bar that serves up excellent cocktails in a historic setting.
Like most of the closes, Advocate's Close, which is thought to date back to the 1500s, is spooky and fascinating, and it's like stepping back in time. Most of these skinny streets have been widened or built over; the closes that remain are a precious fragment of local history. There are many more closes...as World's End Close, Fleshmarket Close etc

Exposition of Max Pinckers in the old hospital chapel
(was part of Krasj, a 2 yearly art trail, which brings several modern artists together in several locations, spread over the city)
Max Pinckers is a Belgian documentary photographer, who became a nominee member of Magnum Photos in 2015. He grew up in Indonesia, India, Australia and Singapore.
How do you communicate, through photography, what it’s like to live in a city like Mumbai? A city of such variety, ethnically and economically, one of total poverty for so many and free of want for a few.
Traditionally, Western photographers have approached the city from a humanitarian perspective, using people – their expressions, gestures, moments of clarity – that might symbolize the social realities of the city.
Max Pinckers found a new way to visualize Mumbai. He photographed with a careful, cool composition, how human beings apply their creativity, how they problem solve, how, in the most basic ways, they use ingenuity to survive and overcome the hardships of their environment. Pinckers advocates a manifest subjective approach, which is made visible through the explicit use of theatrical lighting, stage directions or extras. Extensive research and diligent technical preparation are combined with improvisation to obtain lively, unexpected, critical, poetic and simultaneously documentary images.

Prompt: Cyndi Lauper dressed as a court jester in colorful motley fool attire.
Lauper is known for her distinctive image, featuring a variety of hair colors and eccentric clothing, and for her powerful and distinctive four-octave singing range. She has been celebrated for her humanitarian work, particularly as an advocate for LGBT rights in the United States. Her charitable efforts were acknowledged in 2013 when she was invited as a special guest to attend U.S. President Barack Obama's second inauguration. Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper (born June 22, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and activist. Her career has spanned over 40. I love her flambpyant style and a few of her songs too.

The Kay Johnson Public Library opened in 2009 in this 1930s-40s modest flagstone bungalow on U.S. 90. It is Valentine's first public library. Kay Johnson, who lived in Austin, owned and operated a ranch near Valentine and spent a lot of time in the community, where she was held in high regard for her kindness and generosity. She also loved to read and was an advocate for literacy. Two years after her death in 2007, her daughter opened the library in her honor. Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel performed for the opening ceremonies.
You see, my Grandmother is 88 years old. For the last few years her spirit and her mind have been in decline and recently her body has joined suit. She has lived a wonderful life and was a remarkable, kind, loving woman.
My Mom goes to the nursing home and makes sure she is feed and taken care of at least a few times a day. She has had to fight the system to get my Grandmother the care she needs. No one could want for a better advocate than my Mom. I know she does it because it is her Mother, but she really is doing such a wonderful job. She is the daughter I hope to be.
So thank you. And I love you and wish I were closer to help.

The "tea party" movement, which roiled American politics in 2010, is a diverse mix of traditional "Christian conservatives," advocates of smaller government, and right-wing paranoid extremists.

If we are truly to celebrate women and advocate for their rights, we must celebrate all women, not just the pretty women, not just the young women, not just the white women, not just the heterosexual women, not just the rich women, and not just the able bodied women.
As surely as a woman ages in this world, she feels herself slowly disappear from the positive remembrances of others. She cannot find happy images that resemble her in any form and she must keep checking her shadow to ensure she still exists in this world.
Think about that for a minute, if you are a man. Aging is hard enough....your muscles and joints will tell you this. But, imagine what it's like if, in addition to being more susceptible to illness and disease, you are also viewed as less desirable.
Also consider this-a woman who desires a younger man is known as a cougar. Though, its a common cliché that men leave their wives and girlfriends for younger women, there is no negative term for a man who does so.

Thats my 13 yr. old. Since he was a toddler he always had a big heart for animals. Funny today I was trying to think of some place to photograph him I look out my living room window and saw this mini billboard for animal advocates and thought this would be perfect!
