It was time to get to work.

A thousand public sector workers braved the rain to send a message to Premier Barnett - enough is enough, August 6 2013.
The world without advertising.
Would you believe that your brain is flooded with around three thousand marketing messages per day? Everyday an estimated twelve billion adverts are displayed on our televisions with another three million radio commercials reaching our ears on a daily basis? But in September 2006, the mayor of Sao Paulo declared all advertising in his city a ‘visual pollution’, banning it all leaving pure white billboards and metal frames as replacement to the persuasive messages and lustful images. From this, I began to think, what would our scenery be like without advertising. What would our world be like without advertising subconsciously placed everywhere around us? Therefore these photographs are just an insight into London city without advertising. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to drive a negative or positive opinion on the multi-billion pound industry (my whole family is in advertising after all), just open your mind to the mass amount of advertising that sways your thoughts on the products that you buy everyday. Think about how many advertising logos, slogans or images that you can remember off the top of your head?
These signs appear in the underground garage where I work over the top of the fire escape doors. The red sign warns you not to enter the building when the fire alarm is sounding, and yet to escape the garage and reach the fire exit, you must first enter the building behind doors guarded by a flashing strobe and 'do not enter'. The worrying thing is that we're not talking of funny signs by amateurs here, but something approved by trained fire safety officers.

My Message --
I just returned from sixteen days in Occupied Palestine. Over and over, I saw the painful oppression of the Palestinian people. I lived in Southern Africa in the late 1970's and witnessed the worst of that nation's apartheid -- what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is as bad if not even worse. It is truly a form of ethnic cleansing. And I saw the ruins of house after house destroyed by the Israeli army using equipment made by an American company. I urge you to do the right thing -- vote for divestment.
