A single Green sandpiper remained on Restharrow Scrape this morning but it did have the decency to come within range.

As I mentioned on the previously submitted Snipe shots, there is a distinct lack of feather detail, I need to find similar shots from my old camera to make a true comparison, but my feeling - and that of many reviews, the SX60 doesn't give the quality of image that its predecessor did.

These images are cropped, but not cropped to enlarge, just to remove large areas of background. They are 1/4 of the original image, still giving a 2300x1712 image which is then shrunk to ~1800x1333 for Flickr.

Don't bother threatening me, it's a waste of time 

I've got just what I need to bring you down 

Conniving sentiment 

This is the last time you can have your way

You can't stop me

You'll see my face again,

You'll see my face again soon

Think of the days behind you,

Know that they've lined up here to end

I knew I saw through you

One more mistake you'll have to face the one,

Who takes it all

I knew I saw through you

One more mistake you'll have to face the one,

Who takes it all away

How is it living with no decency?

Think about all the people you've let down

Deceitful elements

Have lead this unexpected turn for you worst

You can't stop me

You'll see my face again,

You'll see my face again soon

Think of the days behind you,

Know that they've lined up here to end

I knew I saw through you

One more mistake you'll have to face the one,

Who takes it all

I knew I saw through you

One more mistake you'll have to face the one,

Who takes it all away

Introducing: Treazon

Tuberose stems unveil toxic wintergreen; narcotic blossoms stare at death across the street.

Nightfall. Window screens.

Treazon is tuberose at its darkest and most dangerous moment – right after dark.

From than on, the seemingly innocent little white flowers’ aroma is so intoxicating,

that young ladies were prohibited from walking through tuberose fields, from fear that

their decency will be betrayed, and their innocence defeated by lust.

Aniseed, Cinnamon, Wintergreen, Sweet Birch, Cassis

Heart notes: Tuberose Absolute, Orange Blossom, Orris Root

Base notes: Benzoin, Vanillla, Massoia Bark, African Stone Tincture

Jimmy Carter (born 1924)

When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. Nor could he do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis, instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations, and characterized by a shortage of gas for consumers at the pumps and high costs for home heating oil. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, crippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.

In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

•Artist: Robert Templeton (1929-1991)

•Oil on canvas, 1980

•Partial gift of the 1977 Inauguration Committee

Word and feeling for last week is disappointment. It’s not that I have that high hopes on people, people seem to fail in common decency, manner. Yes, you can say, that one has to look in self before judging the others. „Have you been acting the way you want others to act? “ Well guess what - I f*cking have!

Note to self: Don’t trust people. Don’t expect anything from people.

Faith in humanity - DESTROYED.

Omaha, NE

I was photographing this interestingly-named clothing and accessory shop just before noon, which is apparently when they open on Sundays. The proprietor kind of surprised me by popping out and offering to open early.

That was decent of him.

It is hard to know how to do justice to the photos and subjects from Angola Prison. So, I wont even really try. Originally, Details Magazine was going to run my article about intra-prison boxing out there but things changed for a variety of reasons and I am still looking for an appropriate forum for the story. So, if anyone has any contacts at Time or the New Yorker, hook a brother up. I shot a ton of photos on Wednesday night and all I can really say about it is that my original feelings about Angola are even more jumbled and complex. Spending the better part of 4 hours in a room with 300 murderers and rapists who are, none-the-less, living human beings deserving respect and decency of some kind, is a draining experience. Every time I have visited Angola to interview prisoners or to photograph something I can’t shake the feeling that I have been given a yard pass in hell. Those guys have all done horrible things, no denying that, but they are truly just passing time until their death. If “life with out the possibility of parole” is not the definition of an Existentialist sort of hell then I can’t imagine what is; the whole experience puts the finality of the human experience into bold and stark terms. I probably just need to play with some puppies or something comparably uplifting.

This shot was taken with a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens at ISO 800. This is moment after the bout was called, as you can tell. Taken on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.

“ANZAC is not merely about loss. It is about courage and endurance, and duty, and love of country, and mateship, and good humour and the survival of a sense of self-worth and decency in the face of dreadful odds.”

"The image of a Syrian child's lifeless body washed up on the shores of a Turkish beach this week brought the world to its knees. His name was Aylan Kurdi, and he was just three years old.

We need to do better."

I was going to call it "Toni, Recumbent", then "Toni, RecumBert", but then I thought that "cum" and "Bert" were a little too close together for decency, and the same argument applied nearly as well to the original title... So I realize that she's not actually couchant, but since she's on a couch, it works. :D

One of thousands of small grassroots protests organised in support of the heroes of Wisconsin, and also of all unions, public and private sector workers, middle and working class Americans being assaulted by the greed of corporations. A kind of tea party antidote.

At a playdate yesterday the moms were all discussing the possibility of radiation harming our little angels here in California. All I could do is feel just SICK thinking about the poor mommies who live near Fukushima Daiichi. They don't have the luxury of debating what to do. I pray for their babies (both ickle and big). I pray for the workers trying to cool the reactors, risking their own lives.

I am glued to the news. I feel powerless.

My prayers continue to go out to the people of Japan. I pray for those who have lost their homes, for those in darkness. For SO many rescue workers and regular citizens trying to come together to help. I am impressed by the decency and dignity of the Japanese people in the face of disaster. We in America have a lot to learn from them.

I have done my little donations and listed some things on ebay for charity but I wish I could do more. I guess I can start with getting Sherman microchipped and buying that extra bag of dog food ...

Sign found in the bathroom at Hugo's, North Hollywood, California. 28 June 2008.

"Common Decency and the STATE LAW health and safety code require that you WASH YOUR HANDS before leaving this room to resume work." Someone added, "Or eat."

This was the first time I'd ever seen "common decency" added to this kind of sign. Sort of begs the question, though...if it were that common, would we need a sign?

Marquis De Sade

1740-1814

“Salacious,Sardonic, Sadistic”

Born a rich nobleman, Marquis being his title rather than his birth name, De Sade gradually became a decadent libertine among the French society of Louis XVI. A liberally educated iconoclast, he wrote prose and verse, and specialized in testing the limits of decency, breaking tabboos and shocking the aristocracy, often with sordid details drawn from real life. He was thought to have committed much of the perversions and debauchery he had written about. He was incarcerated in an asylum shortly before the French Revolution. After a decade of feverish creativity, he willingly gave up writing and lived his remaining years in uneventful calm.

"Faith conquers truth, reason, hope, decency, kindness, compassion and morality. Next to it is ignorance, which conquers anything that escapes faith." -AtheistKeith

According to popular legend it was built about 1255 by the infante Frederick, brother of King Alfonso X, as a love-nest for his mistress, La Doña Juana, who was also his stepmother, the second wife of the previous king, Ferdinand III. Frederick was executed by his brother, either for the offence against public decency, or, more likely, for treason against the crown.

Either way Frederick’s land around the tower was confiscated, and in 1289 was used for the founding of a Franciscan convent.

G-Print. Impossible to copy.

Since 1975.

1975. Bell-bottoms, disco, seaweed wallpaper in shades of brown, hair, a lot of hair, afros on every- body and voluptuous sideburns, roller-skates, Led Zeppelin. Coffee and oil is very expensive. The first disposable razor. Ali beats Frazier in the “Thrilla in Manilla”, The King is alive and kicking in Vegas and the king of Sweden is yet to be married. Gerald Ford is president in the USA, Brezhnev in the USSR. It’s the year when General Franco dies and Angelina Jolie and Tiger Woods are born.

Despite an oil crisis and prolonged recession, 1975 was a carefree time with more solutions than problems. A dualistic era where the colourful visions from the 60’s still lived but popular culture interpreted those visions in darker Kodachromatic tones. It was decency and decadence. It was the birth of the peace- and environmentalist movements, amidst a full-blown cold war.

Also, in 1975 a new paper is born – G-Print.

Since then, for 35 years, G-Print’s been loved for its overall quality and consistency by merchants and printers alike. And most importantly there’s been no significant changes in paper properties over all those years. This equals 35 years of perfection for a paper and a paper production process that is, “Impossible to copy”.

In this boxed DM, distributed to 20.000 paper clients all over Europe, Arctic Paper, the owner of G-Print, push the “Impossible to copy” message via an anachronistic box including mini examples of paper applications. A mini DM, a mini cookbook, a mini Magazine and a mini Poster and Map. All showcasing classics from 1975. Not very incidentally, just like G-Print.

Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year

On a walk around the Addington Cemetery with a wonderful Flickr friend. February 13, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.

There is so much damaged in the cemetery because of the earthquake we have had. It is such a pity as I don' think it will ever be fully repaired.

The Addington Cemetery was established in 1858 when the Scottish Presbyterians of St Andrew’s Church purchased land for a cemetery in Selwyn Street. Although not the first cemetery in Christchurch, Addington was in fact the first “public” cemetery, “being open to all persons of any religious community” and allowing the performance of any religious service “not contrary to public decency”.

The first burial took place on the 10th of November 1858. The cemetery has several persons of note buried within its grounds including activist Kate Sheppard, Christchurch Mayor Tommy Taylor and members of the pioneer family, the Deans.

This twisted stare is not intended for the 100lb dog sitting in the middle of the trail while I was going 20mph… it’s intended for his owner who didn’t have him on a leash nor pay attention to city ordinances- let alone have the decency to think about anyone except for themselves. There is a world outside of you by the way…

My blood was pumping and when I came around the corner my adrenalin shot up in a flash… and now I have a migraine.

Thank you.

p.s. if you are gonna post my copyrighted images elsewhere on the internet at least have the decency to credit me with them or link them back to here, or i'll probably stop posting them or at least start putting big watermarks on them.

The temptation is to stash away the bulk of a couple months' pay and use it to establish residency somewhere like Amsterdam or Toronto, where freedom from and freedom to be and to do are not mere neon Madison Avenue slogans but concrete realities, or at least goals toward which the people work together as a community. Perhaps life among the sane would serve to buttress the remnants of my frustration-eroded psyche. But the United States of America is my birthright and my burden, and San Francisco is my chosen home within it. On these streets I engage many thousands of people, suggestible passengers who seat themselves comfortably in the middle of my sphere of influence. My demeanor, behavior, occasional conversation impacts their own, and when they depart they transmit the healing ripple into their own circles, and so on, and it is in these little acts of human decency that our salvation lies. Heaven help me, I appear to be developing a vision.
