That's 'Murica for ya'

The Capitalist States of America

If nothing can't be exploited for the prospect of the god almighty dollar, well then, that just ain't 'Murican!

The US of A is failed state

Felled by corruption, greed, short-sightedness, hubris

🫡💵🇺🇸

As a left leaner, I too cringe a little at "liberal"... I prefer the term, "progressive"... because that is what I strive for - to progress, adapt, learn, grow, become better, to become more

I am a proud progressive ✊🏼

Thank you, sir

Um, actions, policy change, addressing and correcting the self-inflicted errors of the past few years, speak louder than a bull shit, "we're cool, hip, and down with y'all" marketing campaign... which will fall flat, and on deaf ears to us who will never shop in your stores again

Mommy Will Always Love You, Baby Boy

This week's #ThrowbackThursday is a tender moment between mother & newborn son from 2023... it was taken in between shots of the young lad, her picking him up, & softly whispering in his ear

Wow, that is very kind of you to say, thank you, I appreciate it

Pretty much every time I shoot fireworks, I try this technique… if I remember… and then if I remember how I did so the year prior!

Of all my attempts, this is the one that turned out the best so far

Two On Roof, Rising Moon

This, pathetically & sadly, is the ONLY picture I took DURING THE ENTIRE MONTH of February! 😞 This lousy iPhone pic taken last thursday, as I just spied these two on yonder roof, the moon rising behind

Hopefully March will be A LOT better photographically!

A Fireworks Night

This week's randomly selected #ThrowbackThursday image is from the Summer of 2020, when the Fourth celebration fell upon a full moon lit night

Meanwhile, I haven't photographed ANYTHING! in over a month 😔 life... & been in a funk

I’ve been a vegetarian for over a quarter century now… but seeing a sandwich like that, definitely sets off the ol’ timey cravings, and temptations!!!

🤤

The sun hitting the still grounded one is spectacular

Thank you

Thank YOU, sir

Thank you, sir

Sometimes the photo gods just smile upon us, and elements line up at the right place and the right time for us, so all we have to do is just press the shutter

Hot Air Balloons II

Always liked the dramatic look of this hot air balloon passing aloft over one still inflating on the ground

War and Peas Comic Panel 1: A narrator's voice begins, "The Sun has risen. Its golden orb quietly—" The Sun, depicted with a grumpy face, interrupts with, "EXCUSE ME, I do not 'rise.'" Panel 2: The Sun, now with an angry expression, shouts, "You all revolve around me!" Panel 3: The Sun continues, "Without me, you idiots would all be DEAD!" The background remains a clear blue sky with mountains in the distance and people looking at the sun. Panel 4: The narrator's voice resumes, "The Sun, a narcissistic asshole, has risen." The Sun glares down at the tiny people below shooting sunrays. The people flee.

I don’t sit on the sidelines… I still vote for the D, because the alternative is the backwards R destroying anything and everything that is good… mostly accomplished & gained because of Ds

But yes, we need to expect & demand more! Than just not R! Ds need to not compromise, be better… no free ride

Agreed

Both Parties are culpable… both bow to, are beholden to, those who line their pockets, fund their campaigns

Supreme Court fucked this country over big time with Citizens United… letting the Capitalists, oligarchs, autocracy, in turn run this country with their pocketbooks… and all of us pay

My thinking of a major part of the problem, is our duopoly Party system

Like maybe, a whole hell of a lot more people would bother to vote, if doing so, wasn’t only just for the lesser of two evils

Right now, we have either vile Republicans… or absolutely worthless, good for nothing Democrats

I find it absolutely fascinating, when I see someone who liked something I’ve posted, or followed me, etc., I go check out them, their work, profile, etc., and they have absolutely no posts of any kind… yet, they still have followers than I do!

Social media is just weird, yo!

Um, yeah, a very emphatic yes that “I DIDN’T vote for DT”

Unlike the unfortunately hard to comprehend, large populace in this country, that is uneducated, ignorant, racist, and are kindred immature emotionally & intellectually, as their dear piece of shit that THEY voted for

You're not alone, fellow neighbors to the north... there are a good share of us Americans who (more than) kind of hate America now too, and would rather be Canadian!

Magical Dilapidation

This week's #ThrowbackThursday, #DriveByShooting image from 2023, taken at sunset, was even more "magical" in it's original color, rather stunning in fact, if I recall... but, for some reason, I chose to B&W it... and, once I edit an image, I delete the original, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Jesus Christ! Can the United States of America have at least ONE political party that isn’t an eye-rolling embarrassment?!

I happened to be in front of a tv that was broadcasting the NBA All-Star Game, & President Obama was being interviewed… my god how I miss an articulate, bright, charismatic, intelligent person in the White House! A man who is actually decent, a good person… just that - a decent & good human being!

Peaceful Autumn Day

Sadly, all I seem to post anymore is just old work, as I continue my abysmal start of this year, having not photographed anything 😔

Anyway... this random #ThrowbackThursday is from a pleasant Autumn stroll back in 2024

😄 I actually had this in real life… every monday, wednesday, and friday, this one house that I would pass on my morning walk to work, I felt like a stealth ninja when I figured out the correct steps to take and timing to navigate their sprinkler system and remain dry!
