In my city, one of the richest cities in the wealthiest country in human history, 39,000 homeless people sleep in shelters every single night. They represent only a sliver of the number of people who live here without work, without homes, without an education, without healthcare of any kind.
As the American military budget approaches $500 BILLION dollars a year, the USA can boast of declining literacy, declining health, declining social services, one of the worst infant mortality rates in the entire Western Hemisphere, more imprisoned citizens than any other country on earth, and a national debt that numbers in the trillions of dollars.
Those who actually have work see their wages taxed to prop up some of the most violently repressive military regimes on earth - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel. Our past best friends included Saddam's Iraq, the Shah's Iran, Apartheid South Africa, the Philippines under Marcos, Somoza in Nicaragua, etc etc etc. Virtually every gencodaire and dictator of the last 50 years has been in our payroll. For example, until 1998, every single high level Taliban official was in the payroll of the US. Across the earth our national wealth is being doled out around the world to armed fanatics of every stripe, even as we steal the natural wealth of the earth to feed our own greedy apetites for Chia Pets and Eyeliner. The amount of money Americans spend of pornography and dog food each year could feed every starving person on the planet - not that we care. Meanwhile, our economic, cultural and military force is turned towards stamping out democracy wherever it emerges, crushing human rights wherever they are demanded.
While 50,000 people a day die of hunger, lack of clean water, and the largest epidemic in history, the wealthiest country in the world offers the poorest countries in the world little more than prisons, bibles, military bases, threats, weapons, and "structural assistance" that benefits only the wealthiest .001%. In the end, the price of our assistance is always the same: political obedience, economic enslavement, and debt repayment schedules which consume the gross national product of entire continents....

The guy in this photo is a local character who has lived in my neighborhood for decades. People call him "Screaming Jesus", a vaguely affectionate kind of mockery which conveniently disregards his entire life. I was delighted to see him carrying the flag on the 4th of July. He had some words for me about the state of this country.
Our lack of interest is a mirror he is holding up to those who run this country like a private slush fund. He is an early warning system which we ignore at our own terrible peril.

16/52. Stood in wet bushes for half an hour. Now I'm smelling like a forest and my neighbors think that I've completely lost my mind.
Summer pudding with brown bread ice-cream and pistachio. Making more use of the berries in season. Blogged here.
Ezekiel 20:47 “And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.”
Buckingham Fountain and the Willis Tower, or rather what's left of it. This was the best I could do given the drizzle and the fog, and frankly, I didn't want to get soaked either.
I hope everyone is having a great week. :)

Look closely and you'll see part of a husk flying, below the finch's beak. It's amazing how fast the de-husk the seeds.
This Atlantic Monument is slowly eaten up by the sea in Bretagne.
The Atlantic Wall (German: Atlantikwall) was an extensive system of coastal fortifications built by Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1944 along the western coast of Europe as a defence against an anticipated Allied invasion of the mainland continent from Great Britain.

It rips out the eyes of its victims and uses them for its own!
The idea for this build came from 'the pale man' from the movie 'Pan's Labyrinth'.

A sprouting Black Eyed Susan..growing wildly on the side of the road..I have always enjoyed these flowers in bloom but there is something quite special and magnificent about them at this stage of growth..Full of life..new life..and the colors are so muted yet bold..I love how the center of the bloom is already quite significant in size in comparison to the petals which are really only about one quarter of their full bloom size..
This shot looks as if the budding petals are consuming the center..devouring it..
Here You can see real Forest Devourer. Be careful walking through the forest - and never, I mean never cuddle one when You see it crying! They look cute but they are always hungry.
Devourers are tiny bug rahi which crawl onto large rahi and feed on the detritus found on their armor and skin. The hosts appreciate being clean, and the Devourer gets a meal. Everyone is happy.
Another shot of ‘Special’ with his kill. This was taken sveral hours after he had killed his Reedbuck dinner and dragged it into the privacy of a bush.
We had been and had our lunch and a rest before heading back out in the afternoon to see how he was getting on.

I've had this idea for a while but I never had a light small and bright enough to fit in my mouth. I came up with the idea of firing my laser into my mouth whilst holding a chuff of vape in there.
Laser on, a mouthful of vape and fired the shutter. Pocketed the remote before putting my hands in my mouth. Lit from above with the beauty dish on 1/32. Lit from behind with another flashgun to illuminate the vape in the air for separation also on on 1/32 @ 24mm.
A fair bit of faffing in LR and a mono conversion in colour efex pro using the tone enhancer.
This is number 291 of my 366.
A chance day to work with a wonderful person to produce some nice dystopian shots. Thank you to Devour and the location Home of Paine!
