Made by Annin, the oldest flagmaker in the USA. It's made of two-ply polyester with embroidered stars and individual lock-stitched stripes. My other flag is about seven years old and faded. It is a much lighter flag and flies much better in a light breeze.
This was taken on Pearl Harbor Day when we're supposed to fly the flag at half-mast. I don't really feel comfortable flying the flag at half staff here in Japan for that particular holiday! I wonder if they do that at the American Embassy in Tokyo!?! Any ideas?
While walking through St James Park I looked up and saw the flags with black sashes and the gold top of the Victoria Memorial.
Norwegian flag, det norske flagg.

This Flag flew across the street from where we watched the Lost Dutchman Days Parade in Apache Junction, Arizona. The skies were drab gray so offered no definition or color.

I saw a photograph of Cub Scouts burning an American flag at a fire station a short while back. They burn the flag, out of respect, when they want to "decommission" it. Though I remembered hearing that flags are burned rather than allowed to touch the ground, the only time I had seen a burning flag was at a protest. It got me thinking about the different intentions around burning a flag and that the mere act of burning a flag is not in and of itself an act of protest.
Many veterans hate it when the flag is burned in protest because they feel that it symbolically destroys everything that they fought for, freedoms they fought to keep for their children and freedoms their fathers fought to keep for them. Others feel that being allowed to burn the flag exemplifies their right to freedom of expression, while others burn flags because they feel the US has turned its back on the freedoms the forefathers envisioned. Whatever the case may be, there are multiple facets to a seemingly singular act.
I wanted to try to capture that complexity in an image. Posterity and history, war and freedom, respect and disdain are important themes when we talk about flag burning. With those themes in mind, I wanted to create an image that could be interpreted in numerous ways. Did I succeed in that? How do you interpret the image? As this is my first composite image, ever, is the image itself technically satisfactory?
