Le consumérisme occidental a un impact tel sur la planète qu'il tend à détruire les ressources qui nous permettent d'avoir "ce que nous voulons". Par effet de boomerang, notre impact sur la planète constitue lui-même une menace sur nos vies quotidiennes confortables. Comme un serpent qui se mord la queue.

I've been putting out food and water for Tidda in a hidden area near the beach, hoping she'd find it. It might sustain her strength and maintain a connection between us. The food and water have been disappearing every night but I couldn't tell if it was Tidda.
Yesterday I got a wildlife trail camera and set it up to answer this very question, and I discovered that EVERYBODY is eating the food - except Tidda. Cat, opossum, raccoons and skunk.
I will move the camera and food around to different locations hoping to catch a glimpse of her and get some clue about which area she might be frequenting.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a previously published black and white shot captured in July 2014. Enjoy!
Influenced by Andreas Gursky's works showing humanity's addiction to mass consumption.
Celebrating consumerism in creamy analog color.
What works towards the success of this photo is that all the individuals in the middle ground are coincidentally wearing slate colored shirts... and that delicious orange color way way in the back

AVR 4005 shoves a single reefer towards Consumers Produce in the Strip District neighborhood of Pittsburgh. It is the lone customer remaining on this section of ex-PRR trackage and will soon be moving to a new location.
As I mentioned in my previous post, my recent self prescribed venture is to break away from my usual modus operandi and learn a new sight through the vision of Gursky.
He has a talent for observing humanity in an artistic yet objective manner.
One of his works "99 cent" is particularly inspiring by it's abstractness and way of showcasing the world of consumerism.
Selfie 😳 also
What I’m trying to relay through my image is our inability to see the forest for the trees when we are in a store surrounded by products. Whether that be a grocery store, a clothing shop, an auto dealership we are inundated and thus overwhelmed to a point where we are servants to the environment.
We are no longer in charge of ourselves and are influenced by all that intentionally surrounds us.

I always wanted to visit that place. I remember several years in the past, this commercial center was full of life, today this is empty and beautiful. Some people lived here, left and let their marks. Strangely the words I red were full of love, as if the knew that nobody would read them, a silent and peaceful love.
Quick perspective shot with the phone camera, as I was coming in one of the side entrances to the new Saint James Centre
