From the series Empty [#1.1-1.6]:
The artifacts of bustling commerce are juxtaposed against the apparent emptiness of a major port city. The red/copper/green palette evokes a muddled American banknote. These cues suggest an examination of our relationship with commerce: its necessity, how it benefits humanity, the need to make sure it is constrained by a substantive focus on human well-being.

shops and streets are closed due to covid 19, a few remain open, but don't have a lot of customers, empty plates are the result of this
It scares me sometimes, the emptiness I see in my eyes

YC 629 takes the branch at the south end of Pyinmana with empty sugar cane wagons for Lewe and beyond, Burma, 31st December 1996.
The empty voices,
they call to me;
whisper in my head.
They sing songs of sorrow,
And speak harsh truths of despair.
Their cruel reality crushes me,
destroys the little spirit I have.
They tell me I can stop it,
The fierce pain I feel each day.
They tell me I can fight it,
I can end it all.
But could I do it?
Could I leave my loved ones?
Take away my pain,
And make it theirs to bear?
Hi all ^ ^
Sorry, I’ve been away quite a while!
I’ve been having major problems with my computer and the graphics card burnt out, so that meant no more sims! =[
But the good news – the computer has been replaced and I should soon have the sims back!! Give it about a week or two!
So anyway, here’s a picture I took and edited a long time ago but never uploaded. Nothing special, just to announce my return will be soon! =D
Hope you like the poem too, just a quickee I whipped up to add a little something to the pic! Can't wait 'till I can finally come back and start editing again. =)
Although - it's been very good to have a break from it for a while XD

Ok, quick break from my random babbles XD Here's the story behind the pic - basically, this girl has voices that speak to her in her head and she's a scitzafrenic. If you hadn't already guessed, they want her to suffer as they did, to feel the pain they had to. And so they try to tempt her, telling her all her pain will end, tricking her. Where as, they're actually tricking her into a lifetime of lonelyness.
This girl will actually appear in the next black dust chapters (when I get the sims back) but I don't think she'll be the same girl as in this pic - meaning she'll have a totally different personality and background, but she'll still look the same. Although, you never know, I may keep her as she is... You'll have to find out! ;)
-----------------
By the way - extra important little note here XD
If the colours aren't quite right - too dark or too light, it's probably my computer screen. You see one is REALLY light and the other is REALLY dark and I use the dark one so this picture may be too dark or bright on your screen. So if it looks a bit funny, sorry about that! =S
The view south-east along Exchange Avenue in Bristol's old city on Saturday 6th February 2016. Pedestrianised Corn Street is behind me and the St Nicholas Markets are on the left. The buildings at the end of the vista are in St Nicholas Street.

Empty hand . . . or in Japanese, "Karate".
"Karate is properly applied only in those rare situations in which one really must either down another or be downed by him"
- Gichin Funakoshi, Founder of Shokotan Karate
I had a go at karate rather too late in life, to support my autistic son in an activity which features control, sequencing, memory, balance and a whole load of other stuff which is very beneficial in developing the life skills of people with that increasingly understood yet still mysterious condition.
Here (with grateful thanks to my dear wife who again found herself as my muse at very short notice) we have three strikes illustrated. Any black belt karatekas out there may be giggling by now, but anyway, 'Shuto', the knife hand strike is depicted on the left. Here the strike is delivered using the finger side (not the fingers themselves) of the hand using a chopping motion. It also most clearly depicts the concept of 'Empty Hand'. 'Zuki', the classic punch is in the centre with 'Taisho', the heel palm (or panther claw) strike on the right. This strike is delivered using the bottom of the palm. Dear wife refused to model for that one saying she'd been biting her nails. She always has been more of an origami girl.
There is a whole lot more to karate than the above. Hand strikes (including others not shown here) are delivered in different ways and styles, including from the forward or reverse hands, from different stances and to different parts of the unfortunate target. Mind you, a karate enthusiast, honour-bound to follow the ethos of Funakoshi, might observe that should they become necessary then the target deserves all he or she gets. And of course there are kicks, which in hands (OK, legs and feet) other than mine can be both spectacular and devastating. Indeed, I found footwork the most challenging aspect of this ancient art. I bowed out (literally as one does in karate) with a humble green belt.
This (ahem) striking photo is constructed of six layers, each subject to the wonders of Lightroom and Photoshop. At the back is a light grey layer, overlaid with a photo of a paving stone to add neutral texture and which was greatly reduced in opacity. The background to each hand was deleted using the background erasure tool and positioned on the canvas using the move tool, with the transform tool used to resize each. Finally the text, which Google Translate assures is 'Karate', was copied to to Photoshop's text tool and again positioned and resized appropriately.

I'm into simple things right now...what can I fill my little empty paper bag with...good things, that's what!
Once it was Woolworth's, then it was QD and now it is empty. Rates and rents keep rising so shops keep closing.

Someone has left this empty Corona beer bottle on a plinth in the gardens at Nymans. There are no bins here but it's very rare to see litter in National Trust gardens – I wonder why?
The Sculpture Gallery at the Glass House was emptied for renovations, leaving just the architecture to marvel at. See more about this gallery at theglasshouse.org/explore/sculpture-gallery/ .
