happy polaroid week to all of you!
This is the second tree out of my new series "Injuries".
In my second Polaroid mosaic series on climate change, I combine Polaroid transparencies with watercolour painting to visualize the injuries inflicted by human activity. The result is a collection of unique artworks that reflect both the beauty and vulnerability of our environment.
I choose Polaroid as my medium because these images exude a nostalgic charm and evoke memories of times gone by. They are as individual and unreproducible as the trees they depict. By incorporating watercolour painting, I introduce an additional dimension that illustrates the fragility of nature and the strength of human intervention. Through the use of colours and textures, I symbolize the damage our planet is enduring due to climate change.
With these mosaics, I invite viewers to engage in a dialogue about the role of humans in nature and the responsibility we bear for our planet. It is an invitation to reflect on the impact we are having and the possibilities for living in harmony with nature.
The first tree in this new series is on display in the ‘unmittelbar 2024’ exhibition. If you would like to learn more about my work and art, please visit my website:

The marks on her throat were angry and red where the Hand had put his hands, strangling her until she lost consciousness.
These words have nothing to do with the image above, except in the way your dreams relate to your life.
Some of the worst injuries are invisible and those of us that have them keep them hidden beneath layers of identity - different faces for different audiences. I have so many names I can't remember them all.
I live with an invisible disease that is trying to kill me, cell by cell. My own body is trying to kill me. Think about living with that knowledge.
Tomorrow I get a test to learn about the current status of....me. Let's hope big pharma keeps charming my cells into remaining lethargic, much like a flying whale.

∎ The Cranberries - Zombie - Lyric
_______________________________________________
"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan about The Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was released on 19 September 1994 by Island Records as the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue (1994), two weeks ahead of the album's release. Music critics have long recognized "Zombie" as "a masterpiece of alternative rock", as well as a grunge number uncharacteristic of the band's other work.
"Zombie" reached No. 1 on the charts of Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, and Iceland, and although it did not chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, it did reach No. 1 on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. In addition, the song was voted by Australian radio Triple J listeners as No. 1 on the 1994 Triple J Hottest 100 chart. It won the Best Song Award at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards. The accompanying music video was directed by Samuel Bayer.
In 2017, the song was released as an acoustic, stripped-down version on the band's Something Else album. In April 2020, it became the first song by an Irish group to surpass one billion views on YouTube.
Background
The Troubles were a conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to 1998. During the conflict more than 3,500 people died and thousands more were injured. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), an Irish republican paramilitary organisation, waged an armed campaign to end British rule in Northern Ireland and unite the region with the Republic of Ireland. Republican and Unionist paramilitaries killed thousands of people. Over 10,000 bomb attacks were perpetrated by paramilitary groups in Ireland and England.
The song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, aged 3, and Tim Parry, aged 12, both of whom had been killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings, when two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in a shopping street in Warrington, England. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries, and five days later, Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. 56 others were injured, some seriously. Parry died in his father's arms in a hospital in Walton, Liverpool. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets.
There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin – that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken'. [ ... ] We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard – I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' – that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension.
— Dolores O'Riordan in 2017, on writing "Zombie".

A few weeks ago, the male bluebird nesting in our backyard was observed being unable to use his right leg. Here you see he is resting on the limb with the leg hanging off. I was concerned if he could help the female with the brood. Turned out that even with one leg, he could catch bugs and manage egress into the nesting box. Recently returning from a two week trip, I was thrilled to see the male actively using his right leg again and a yard full of fledgling bluebirds.

Yep. My first skateboarding accident. The bruise was fierce. Too bad my camera-phone couldn't capture the lividity of it very well.

A Killdeer feigns injury to lure hostiles away from its vulnerable ground nest. Coupled with a persistent chattering alarm call, the broken wing gambit continues until the threat is drawn a safe distance from the nest. Then the killdeer simply flies away.
This morning while running my normal 3 mile run. I happen to run pass this young baby seal.
After I finish my run, I went back to photograph it. Now as I edit the photo I realize it is injured. Looks like it’s bleeding from it’s left flipper.

The Matchless G3L Motorcycle was developed for use by the British Army :-
Engine - 349cc Air Cooled Single.
Production 1939 - 46.
Power 16 BHP at 5200 rpm.
In 1940, 110 Matchless G3/L's were ordered from England by the South African Army as the preferred machine for use by Despatch Riders.
As well as general army transport G3/L's were widely used for delivering messages that were too important to be sent by radio or by telephone.
They were also used for convoy escort, having to read maps and act as an “Advance Party" into occupied territory.
Dispatch riders were an easy target for snipers, they had to use dimmed headlights and coped with poor road conditions.
In a Second World War study, Sir Hugh Cairns identified head injuries as a major cause of loss of life among dispatch riders and recommended crash helmets instead of the standard “tin helmet" or forage caps that were often worn.
Sir Hugh's recommendation eventually led to compulsory crash helmets for motorcyclists – but not for another 32 years.
This motorcycle was used by the British Army in Africa.
On New Year's Eve 2005, Q335 is rolling up the Coach Lead into Wyoming Yard behind SD40-2s #8803 and #8155, along with GP15-1 #1540. CSX #8803 is the former Conrail #6373, which was specially adorned with graphics commemorating 2,000,000 man hours at the Juniata Shops without an injury. This unit later received a yellow CSX nose before getting YN3 paint in 2010. It was later retired and sold to NRE.

Berris has a brain injury which causes some disturbance to his processing of ideas and difficulties with mobility and caring for himself.
My idea is to create a 3D jigsaw from a set of portraits I have taken of him.

My second trip of the summer to try and photograph Foxes. The first trip was a complete blank.
Late June.
After a long wait this female Red Fox came into view. It had a very bad injury to its rear right leg and was unable to put any weight on it. You could clearly see two bones exposed.
With such a bad injury I would not expect this Fox to survive ?
It stayed for just over a minute before disappearing, not to be seen again.
