Indianapolis: A City under Siege
A Short Series
I am going to share a short series of photographs I made not too long ago. All of them are very near the downtown location of the most recent mass shooting.
The recent mass shooting was less than a block away from this decayed entrance to the former Wm. H. Block Company Department Store. Spots like this in downtown are where drug addicts shoot up in broad daylight. At night I can only imagine what happens.
The combination of drugs and weapons in the hands of children, drug addicts, and generally irresponsible people has become a nightmare scenario for Indianapolis.

Indianapolis: A City under Siege
A Short Series
I am going to share a short series of photographs I made not too long ago. All of them are very near the downtown location of the most recent mass shooting.
Kids as young as 13 years old are carrying assault rifles and 9mm Glock's stuffed in the legs of their pants and in oversized backpacks. Gun battles using these military-style weapons by children from ages 13-18 years old have the city under siege.
After each shooting, law enforcement officers describe how the rampant access to guns by children is something they cannot stop nor defend the general public against. Elected officials wring their hands and start promising new laws that won't have any more impact than the current laws. Those laws are typically curfews or trying to go after the parents of the kids committing the crimes. The problem with guns isn't something you'll hear politicians say much about.
It's not rocket science folks. All the baloney about how guns are never part of the problem, that it's 100% the people with the gun that is the problem, is nothing more than a pathetic excuse by lawmakers who have done all they can to make guns easily accessible by anyone and everyone, including children.
The number one killer of children in America today is a gun. Not cancer, not diabetes, not drowning, not drugs. Guns. Welcome to the cesspool of death and destruction our elected officials have created. And remember: the solution is to put more guns on the street.

The worry and concern is starting to show on the faces of Americans all across our country. And it's not just economic concerns -- Americans are showing compassion for the well-being of their fellow human beings. Inhumanity, lawlessness, cruelty, and deception isn't being concealed, and instead is being flaunted by the rich and powerful. What we have seen happen in foreign countries is now happening in our country.

As the United States of America continues to disintegrate in front of our eyes and the eyes of the entire world, simple things remind us of the reality of our creation. Like a turtle swimming for a piece of bread in a pond. Though power-hungry politicians think they are in complete control, the only control they have is what God permits them to have. And God can end all of it in a moment.
I suspect it is possible that this turtle is looked upon by God with more pride than the humans He endowed with so much more opportunity than a turtle.

Ceuta Harbour
Conocido popularmente como ‘El Barco’, y ubicado en el Muelle España, es un claro ejemplo del estilo arquitectónico Art Decó tardío o aerodinámico -también denominado ‘máquina’-
Aunque tradicionalmente se ha atribuido a José Blein Zarazaga, investigaciones recientes apuntan a Manuel Latorre Pastor como el verdadero responsable del diseño Art Decó, basado en la estructura original de Galmés Nadal, 1930.
Popularly known as "El Barco" (The Ship), and located on the Muelle España (Spain Dock), it is a clear example of the late Art Deco or streamlined architectural style—also known as "machine"—
Although it has traditionally been attributed to José Blein Zarazaga, recent research points to Manuel Latorre Pastor as the true author of the Art Deco design, based on the original structure by Galmés Nadal, 1930.
He held flight in his hand—
not to keep it,
but to release it.
Behind him, a child moved forward,
small steps entering the space he had already shaped.
One life offering what it could,
another arriving ready to receive.
Nothing was lost here.
Only passed along—
the motion of wings,
the patience of waiting,
and the quiet truth
that legacy is not what we hold,
but what we set free
for those who come next.
The Mayor of the Meatpacking District and Nocti Girl.
