Work has been work. How to deal with a sentence of slavery in society. At times I sit at my desk wondering what the hell am I doing. Sadly I think consumerism is given as a faux antidote to keep the wheel spinning. A fleeting moment, until the next product or model is released, planned obsolence. A mere cycle, work, buy, work, buy. But who am I to talk. I am saving up for a damn Leica. 2015.

An AVR local spots Consumers Produce at 21st Street in Pittsburgh's Strip District.
On April 20th, AVR operated one of the rarest moves currently on its system. An AVR-5 crew ran a single refrigerated boxcar to the last remaining produce customer in the Strip District at 21st Street. This was only the second car this warehouse has received in 2.5 years. What once was an extremely busy switch district for PRR is almost entirely taken over by pricey office, retail, and residential space as gentrification moves immediately east of downtown Pittsburgh.

Vertical shot of a photo I previously posted. This angle adds a touch of scale and I especially like the autumn leaves beneath the ATM (That's "cashpoint" for you Brits). Taken in London on the corner of Rosebery Avenue and Farringdon Road.

This is a portrait of me lost somewhere in IKEA and my own consumerism.

55"Wx44"H I am a non consumer. I have no interest in money or spending it. So it is easy to poke fun at the rest of the world. More of my work can be seen at www3.sympatico.ca/jim.rowe2/
I chose to try emulate street artist known as Banksy. What I like about Banksy is the themes he chooses to portray through his artwork. The piece I chose to emulate is his theme of greed and consumerism.

Light - Flat, Black and White
Composition - He is using the length of the building to demonstrate the fall. I decided to try showing Jynx as the high end upscale dog and how society's attitude has changed towards our pets. Some people seem to use their pet as an accessory like a pair of shoes or a purse. I am shocked by the amount of doggy spas, hotels, accessories shops that have has exploded into the marketplace in recent years.
I had prettier images of Jynx but I liked that he was squinting, I feel he is demonstrating what you sometimes see in stores, people wandering aimless with carts trying to fill them with as much as they can to achieve a sense of contentment. To me it does feel like Blind Consumerism in a sense.
No clue if I have figured out this assignment but it did really make me think and learn about a very interesting artist!

These two shots go together, the Fire shot is from the summer of 2007. I spotted the fire when I was on the mountain and it was burning so bright it wasn't hard to locate in Lower Hamilton. It was located on the other side of the tracks from consumers' glass and the fire department had set the perimeter a way back because they were trying to cool the tankers that were right next to the fire, scared that they might blow up.
The Second shot is one I took in the Winter of 2008 with a few of my friends from when some asshats took it upon themselves to lock us into the complex and then watch us struggle from behind the fence. They took off right after we got free when the owner showed up and was wondering what we were doing in the back who then let us out. He said he left the gate open with the lock open since he was planning to come back, and didn't understand how we ended up the back, LOL.
The funny thing is I only ever had these problems when exploring without my 'usual' exploring partner. A few, other local explores were kinda tainted the same way. Funny coincidence that is, kiddos.

This is one of the new shopping areas in Las Vegas inside the City Center. At the time I shot this, the mall had just opened and many of the stores had not yet been completed... but the architecture was all in place and it was impressive from so many angles.
While I was there, I saw another dude with a tripod setup. I like seeing other photographers around with tripods... I always give them a brotherly nod of approval.
Previous Shot from Nearby
I did a post a few months ago called "Dale Chihuly is My Kinda Guy" (follow link for pic), which was shot only a few hundred meters from this place. That's one of the many cool things about Vegas. Just a few more steps away and you are in a completely different place!
