These are not Washington Metropolitan Police, these are private security officers standing guard outside the International Monetary Fund's headquarters in Washington, D.C. They stood silently at the edge of the sidewalk and a squad of police officers parked not far away stayed within line of sight, but came no closer.
The demonstration was peaceful and small, but vigorous -- and audible from some distance.
No bad weather for a brave security officer. A candid street photo of an old man on a bicycle in the park on a rainy and snowy day of the late autumn season. The brave man wears the cap with a "Security" inscription on it. Weather or no weather, he is on duty patrolling the park. Black and white version.

As you can tell from the look on this Mexico Customs Officials face, she made it very difficult for me to leave Cozumel. She gave me the evil eye when I disembarked the ship and cleared the security gates on the pier. As I passed her, I smiled and winked at her thinking that was the friendly thing to do. Little did I know!
When I returned a few hours later, to re-board the ship, she was waiting for me with the same evil eye. No smile in sight! She pulled me off to the side and politely asked me wait in a shaded area with no explanation. She then proceeded to clear a number of other people to go back aboard ship while making me wait. When there was a break she came over to me and asked to look in my shopping bag as if I had done something wrong or was trying to smuggle something on board. She knew exactly what she was doing! Of course all I had in the bag was a hat that says Cozumel on it, but that was enough.
Much to my relief, she then smiled and winked back at me and asked me to take my hat off. At this point I was still a little unnerved but wasn't about to let it show. She then took my hat with Aruba on it and put it inside the bag. I smiled and said, but I'll get my bald head burned without my hat on. She then pulled the hat out of the bag that has Cozumel on it, and said, you have to have this hat on before I will allow you to leave me.
I smiled and winked at her again and she returned the pleasantry. I told her if she would let me board the ship, I would take her picture and show her to the world. She told me she would rather have me stay but if I must go, she would love to have me take her photo. So here she is, the Customs Officer of the Year for all of Cozumel.
Here's to you my dear woman - and what a lovely lady you are!
The only thing to view LARGE or ORIGINAL is the twinkle in her eyes - and believe me - it's well worth it....
If you care to leave comments, please leave them on this image only... thanks...
So all I really did was paint her helmet a little, added some side detail on her legs, and improved her chest armor to look more accurate. I didn't want to edit too much.

Passage, by McKenzie Oerting
(Spring 2005)
The painting being admired in this photo is a transitional piece for the artist. It was painted in Spring 2005. "This is the painting where I finally learned to paint the way I've always wanted to paint," says Oerting. Though she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from University of Houston and executed some oil paintings in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the vast majority of the artist's work before 2005 was in other media, including computer graphics and logo design.
Katherine McKenzie Oerting is a contemporary visual artist from an old Pensacola family that emigrated from Denmark in the 1800s. One of her ancestors was Sir Charles McKenzie Ørting, who was knighted by two queens and a king for service as U.S. consul to Denmark, Sweden and Norway. He plied his trade on the docks of the port of Pensacola and founded McKenzie Oerting Marine Supply and Ship's Chandlery, a 100 year old business located on South Palafox Street.
Oerting also shares her lineage with Danish impressionist artist Anna Ancher. Anna and Michael Ancher, a famous artist couple in history, were so favored by the King of Denmark that their ever-expanding home became an artist's colony and fine art museum in Skagen, on the North Sea, after their death. McKenzie (self-named after the Ship's Chandlery) represents the fifth generation of mariners since the Ørting family's passage to America.
From 1990 to present day, Oerting participated in a group that meets weekly to draw and paint from life, pooling their money to hire nude or costumed models. During this time, most McKenzie Oerting paintings have been acrylic, not oil, to spare the group from inhalation toxic fumes from solvents in close quarters. For years, the artist hosted the Wednesday night gathering of artists -- a contemporary 'salon des artes' fashioned after similar ones in fin de seicle Paris circa 1900 --
at her Victorian-era home on West Garden Street.
"Passage" signaled a major breakthrough in painting technique. Flesh was no longer rendered in tints and shades of "flesh" (peach, pink, red-orange or sepia tones). The flesh tones in this painting are radically different. For instance, in the hand and wrist in the foreground, the artist used every color on her palette. There are greens next to reds, and blues next to oranges -- complementary colors laid down in adjacent strokes that create an effect of optical vibration.

In addition to it marking a major breakthrough in the artist's use of color, "Passage" is a strong piece in a narrative sense. One of a scant few self-portraits, its creation coincides with the beginning of what the artist considers the most significant passage of her lifetime. At the time she was painting "Passage," Oerting was unaware that a malignant tumor was growing in an internal passage that was part of her body's digestive system. In September 2005, the woman depicted in this expressive work was diagnosed with Stage III colorectal cancer when a fist-sized mass (adenocarcinoma) was discovered during an attempted colonoscopy. When it was found, the tumor was almost completely blocking the rectal passage.
"When I named this painting, I had no idea that Passage would have so many layers of meaning," says McKenzie. Others noticed the woman in this self-portrait looked pensive, melancholy, or introspective. Is it, perhaps, a premonition of the difficult struggle soon to follow?
McKenzie Oerting was the inaugural recipient of the Visual Art Association's Working Artist Award in 2006. Her cancer was restaged as Stage IV last December, having metastasized to her right lung. It is the artist's hope that this painting, in particular, end up in a museum after her final "passage."
