On the weekend of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we visit an installation with 2,977 flags: one for each of the victims who perished that day. Being present, with rows of flags each representing a mother, father, partner, child, friend... is humbling.

Project 365 // Day 315
Today I visited the the Fresno State campus for the first time (for a photo shoot event). The campus itself was nice, but it was a very hot day, so I didn't really get a chance to explore it too much. While I was walking around on a lunch break, I spotted these two flags, fluttering about in the wind. I was feeling a little patriotic at that point, so I just thought to myself, "this will be my daily shot". It ended shooting a ton of pics, trying to capture as many different shapes and compositions as possible. This shot was one of my favorites.

I believe this is a Flag-tailed Spinyleg dragonfly at Bob Jones Park in Southlake, Texas on August 9, 2015.
As a person who was born and grew up in England, it wouldn't have seemed right not to take a picture of my country's flag at this event, so here it is!

Sydney | NSW | Australia
Digging through the archives, I recently found this photo from over a decade ago of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. What struck me the most is that a single flag - the Australian flag - flies proudly atop said bridge. To a foreigner, this might seem like an odd thing to point out. The explanation is that now, multiple flags fly. I long for the time when Australia was united under a single flag, and for the time when the quality of one's character meant more than the makeup of one's ethnicity and/or sexuality.
On this day - April 25th - Australia remembers the ANZACs (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who bravely fought and risked their own lives - indeed sacrificed their own lives - so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. The Australian flag represents every single Australian no matter what their background or identity, and is the flag that Aussie ANZACs courageously fought under. Lest We Forget.
