It's challenging to get everything to align when trying to use a Lensbaby Composer Pro + Edge lens for street/urban photography. It's even a bit tougher at night.

On hold
In recent days, weeks and months I have seen a lot of something.
Some people have encouraged others to be patient.
It always stirs in me the same response.
How do you tell someone to wait to…?
- be born
- say their first words
- take their first steps
- get a formal education
- go to college/university
- get their first job
- fall in love
- settle down
- get married
- have a child
- see their child/children achieve the steps above
- achieve greatness (whatever that might look like)
- retire
- do that ‘around the world’ trip they saved for, all their lives
- hold their first grandchild in their arms
- get tested for that suspicious lump
- get diagnosed and treated
- hold the hand of a loved one
- die with dignity
- be remembered by loved ones at a funeral
Maybe it is best to assume that many of these steps do not apply to some people and because of this, they do not care. Or perhaps they feel/know the wait will never apply to them.
Streaming television, takeaways, 24 hour deliveries are not living. It is just existing.

Previously unpublished shot of a juxtaposition that caught my attention - captured in January 2018.
The current 'cost of living crisis' is just the tip of the iceberg of coming problems for our society. Ukraine is basically the breadbasket of Europe and together with grain from the invading nation, Russia, we will be seeing massive shortages of staple crops and increasing food prices for all. Millions will be choosing between food and shelter or warmth. The top six energy companies in the UK made £1bn in profits last year and yet energy prices are going through the roof - my own energy bill has risen by 124% and I already strictly keep my energy use down for the sake of our planet!
There is enough wealth in this world to end poverty on this scale. When should a humane society consider that food, water, shelter and warmth are basic human necessities that everyone ought to be entitled to? Instead of taxing wealth, however, we take from the ordinary folks and the poorest suffer. I'm not expressing my politics here and you can draw no conclusions from my thoughts on that, but I am expressing my basic humanity. We are one species sharing one tiny planet in the vastness of space. Why do we not care more about our fellow humankind? When do we consider that we actually need to help each other?
Stay safe my Flickr friends.
