"Message from Mary S.: The future of the Internet as we know it is at stake. The FCC is proposing rules that would kill the open Internet and create a fast lane for companies that can afford big fees and a slow dirt road for the rest of us. We're fighting back--and we're being heard. This Thursday, May 15, the FCC will meet in Washington, DC, to vote on whether or not to advance this proposal. We'll rally in DC, but we won't stop there: We'll gather at FCC offices in 24 cities to send shockwaves through the FCC bureaucracy until they restore real Net Neutrality and protect the Internet for all of us."

On Saturday July 2, a March for Europe took place in central London, which attracted around 50,000 people, calling for Britain to remain in the EU, supporting the pan-European community that it has allowed to come into existence, opposing racism and xenophobia, and calling for MPs to refuse to pass the legislation that is needed for our departure to actually take place, rather than, as at present, being the preferred course of action of a slim majority of the 72.2% of the electorate who actually bothered to vote. I took this photo, at the top of Whitehall, by Trafalgar Square, of one of the many handmade signs on the day.
The march took place just eight days after a shocked Britain woke up to discover that, after the most ill-advised referendum in UK history, those voting to leave the EU had secured more votes than those who wanted to stay in — and those attending were just a fraction of the 16,141,241 people who voted to remain in the EU, but the march was an important sign of hugely important dissent that, I fervently hope, will not go away.
We need to maintain pressure on our MPs not to accept the result — not out of any anti-democratic sentiment, but because 1) leaving the EU would be disastrous for our economy and our standing in the world; 2) isolationism has already led to a rise in racism and xenophobia, apparently normalised by the result; 3) the referendum should never have been called, and was only called because of the narrow party political concerns of David Cameron, and not because of any need for it; 4) the Leave campaign’s efforts to secure victory, with the collusion of large parts of the media, involved telling voters disgraceful lies, and Boris Johnson, who did so much to ensure its success, didn’t even believe in it, and only supported it in the hope of furthering his own political aims; 5) most importantly, Parliament has to endorse it before it can happen, and MPs’ obligation is to vote in the best interests of the country, not to rubber-stamp the result of a unjustifiable referendum; and 6) as some lawyers are arguing, the process of triggering our departure from the EU, if enacted, would be unlawful.

Who knows where this will end... but I know I'm growing weary of the whole thing. And there is no escape!
An engagement photo shoot I did. They are having a photo booth at their reception, which sparked the idea for this shoot.
The idea is from a fellow flick member who's profile i don't know, my client showed had a copy of their version. To whoever you are, if you see this, you had a great idea... Thank you.

Saved by Rikki's last night! Attacked by a dog 3 days ago, his owner finally brought him to a vet to be euthanized! Instead, Rikki's was able to help! He'll get all the care he needs and most certainly all the love he can stand! Meet Little Mack!
JESUS SAVES..it had been almost a dozen years since I attended a church service, and oddly enough, the one I attended yesterday in the basement of the former St Andrews United was the same darn church I attended in May of 2011 for a service, somewhat dedicated to the men and photos and stories of the book Dark Hallways and Other Lost Places in my Soul...that day the church spoke about doing good deeds, helping your fellow man. A lady, I don't recall her name asked me if I had ever been to this church before? I said, I had, many years ago and told her of the moment that the images from the photo essay Dark Hallways were placed on a screen and John Lennons song Imagine was playing as the likes of Tattoo Tom Fred Maybee The Shinny Man Wanderin John and others slowly rolled across the screen. I looked her in the eyes and said, "many men will cover up their tears, at this moment I was unable to hold the tears back"...yesterdays Non Denominational gathering was built somewhat on the lines of an old Revivalist gathering, which we would run into in the City back in the 1960s...This one time, my friend Jake the Snake Nash, his GF at the time my wifes sister Darleen and Julia my wife attended a Sunday night gathering. They were in stitches as woman of colour were rolling on the ground, some of which were wearing wigs that quickly fell off their heads as they rolled on the ground talking in tongues shouting out Praise The Lord to the prompts of a dark suited minister! Yesterday was much calmer as Beloved Father Leo set the tone with his selection of songs, after each one he would say a little bit of wisdom. Then they had a feast as all manner of diamond shaped sandwiches and sweets platter were carried throughout the guests as they mingled and yakked...I escaped unnoticed out the side door and up the steps to sunlight, some kind man had placed a donor bike in the back of my unit...I had fish to fry in Bobcaygeon, and what a glorious day it was..Amen
Outdoor Soccer Season is here and of course our favorite keeper is out making awesome saves! #ShootersSoccer
A save the date is a notice stating the date of a significant event such as a wedding. It is typically sent to those likely to be interested or affected by the event and states the planned date of the occasion so that recipients who wish to attend know to keep that date free. Whilst some people choose to send a save the date notice, other couples might just advise friends and family verbally
