Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Captured in November 2024.
Of course, with the headphones and leopard print, a play on the band name Def Leppard was in my mind for the title as I captured the shot.
Enjoy.
Mrs. Orca immediately recognized this for what it was, a species of legless lizard, rather than a snake. I believe that it is Anguis fragilis, aka the slowworm, aka the deaf adder. We did also see several vipers. I believe they were the common European viper--which we have also seen in the Pyrenees and Alps--but I did not manage any photos of them worth posting. Legless lizard, Kom Emine trail near Chavdar hut, Bulgaria.
The southbound ore leans into the tight curve at SX North. I have never heard flanges scream so loud before.

....the plight of the street musician. This guy is deep into an emotional rendition of a song, yet his performance falls on deaf ears. The street is a tough gig.
Je photographie rarement la misère . Le voyeurisme ne fait pas partie de mon ADN photographique. Et, lorsque, parfois , je manque à cette règle, je fais très attention à ne jamais prendre les personnes dans des situations dégradantes (sauf une fois, mais pour une situation bien précise).
Cette femme est sourde. Sa carte d'invalide est accrochée au panneau où elle demande une aide pour elle et ses chiens. Je le dis tout net, j' ai été ému.
La misère ne touche pas seulement les gens auxquels l' on s'imagine l' associer.
Dans le quartier de la Baixa.
this is Ollie, he was 17 weeks old when he visited the studio for his portrait session. Although not completely deaf, the very little he can hear will probably disappear soon, but he was full of fun & mischief but did really well when we worked with closely with him to achieve images like this.

This piece was inspired by a Youtube video a Deaf friend showed me.... the only clear sign in the video was "I love you"..she asked me to draw what i thought it was about.. I perceived it to be about a deaf child growing up to hearing parents, how the parents of an infant use great facial expressions to interact , and the parent child relationshipin takes place in a very visual way, but then as time passes the parents withdraw from using so much expression, expecting to transition over to an audio world ::hence the clock pulling the Alexander Graham Bell mask over the faces. But using Bell as this polarized icon through the dual view point of Deaf Culture, and Hearing Culture, the piece came to be about the relationship between Deaf culture and American society ... The plane image is the X1 rocket...it was the first plane to break the sound barrier. i thought it fitting since the hand shape in ASL for "i love you", and "plane" are the same.... the paper airplane image hints back at the rocket in the foreground, and means the American school system's many painful attempts to educate Deaf children... the parent figures are shown signing behind the back denoting the parents feelings towards Deafness, and reluctance to embrace Deaf culture. An alarming percentage of hearing parents who have Deaf children do not learn sign language ..and so i hope the drawing asks the question... "It it logical to strap an infant upon this plane as a method to break the sound barrier and launch the child into hearing culture without choice, when the parents could mearly learn to sign and become a part of Deaf culture with the child...?" the shadows of the parents and infant are connected, while actually the patents are shown not even touching the same ground as the child, emphasizing the ignorant concepts of a society that believes all Deaf learn to read lips perfectly and this makes them blend effortlessly into their hearing world.. the snail is a near identical image to the cochlea inside the human ear, so coming from the shadow of the x1 rocket it reminds that in reality, lip reading and the oral method are an enormously slow and grueling process...and also hints at the speed with which society has really taken the time to intelligently consider Deafness, and finally questions the latest modern scientific approach to Deafness the Cochlear implant..that the face of the snail hints at the "i love you" handshape, and is turning around suggests that a loving society might try a different approach. the ears of the parent figures are shown as closed eyes....meaning that from the deaf child's perspective, the parents hearing causes them to not pay attention with their eyes...the scuba divers show Deaf culture,, as the beautiful silent world it is.. since Deaf scuba divers can literally use sign language to communicate underwater, where hearing people just akwardly gesture, and have to wait to be above the surface to communicate.....i hope this image would be striking and urge hearing people to stop and think deeper about Deaf culture, and the many wonderful aspects of life hearing causes them to miss....
