What Caused the Irish Potato Famine?
The Memorial represents a rural Irish landscape with an abandoned stone cottage, stone walls, fallow potato fields and the flora on the north Connacht wetlands. It is both a metaphor for the Great Irish Famine and a reminder that hunger today is often the result of lack of access to land.
The Irish Hunger Memorial, designed by artist Brian Tolle, contains stones from each of Ireland’s 32 counties.

Most didn’t even notice. Some giggled. A group of loud drunken women demanded more. I got close. Really close. He was oblivious. Nothing was going to spoil his evening viewing. And where, oh where, did he get the power from?

So I have been addicted to the hunger games books lately and I really liked Cinna's outfits for Katniss in the books so I wanted to try to replicate one. Well it didn't turned out exactly how I wanted but I've been working on the photo for so long that I just can't work on it any longer so here you go! Hope you enjoy. And yes I know. I'm way behind on my project. I blame this photo for that.
