Should Americans uprise? I figured it out. "I need to take pictures that don't glorify violence or make it look cool." I was talking to my friend Andrew. "I have to take photos that stop violence, and turn people from it." It looks like somebody beat me to it. This recent video sheds new light on my own past experiences. Was there ever honor in war? Why can't we just hack each other to pieces with clubs and knives?-------Please Watch This Video-------
Ralph Nader is a fellow member (honorary) of Veterans for Peace. If any veterans need a reason to join VFP: Depleted Uranium. Keeping it out of the U.S. Arsenal might cause a few second delay in the destruction of enemy armor, but using it is said to cause generations of birth defects. I checked out a governement website, that might possibly downplay depleted uranium. They say it is safe, and 40 percent less radioactive than uranium.
Andrew Bain showed me a Persian place to eat on 18th St, NW. The Caravan Grill is a great buffet away from the out-of-towner crowds of Adams-Morgan. Plus, we saw our old friend and photo history instructor David Haberstich there. He's the head photo archivist at the National Museum of American History. If a Washington insider like Haberstich dines here you know this place is a treasure trove of serve-yourself delights.
Party at Mike and Brandon's place -- the perfect opportunity to study binge drinking at its most vulgar. Jello shots, beer pong, beer bongs, and just drinking unhealthy amounts of alcohol. What causes it? Why is it done?. . .
Artist Bill Newman (left) had an opening in a spacious Adamson Gallery, 1515 14th Street NW. He is always surrounded by his students. This is what the art world is suppose to be like.Transformer Art Auction
Those times when the pretentious art world leaves you at the door, buy a drink and stay a while. Q: Why do Irish kids buy mineral water? A: To wash the wine off their clothes. This is what the art world is suppose to be like.
Another neglected robot, Dupont Circle.
Haloween ... only the robots know it's for kids.
I am making a six-foot sculpture in the Tuesday morning intermediate metal sculpture class. The frame looked so nice I wanted to take pictures of it, looks even better with someone in it.
Paul Kennedy is a cigar smoker. A coffee drinker. A picture taker.
Cassie, Kevin, Ana, and our instructor Kurt Mutchler wait for a train at Farragut North Station. Thursday morning our entire class went out to American University to see a photographer from the Magnum Agency speak about his work. Three slide trays into the presentation (and a short nap later) we all left. Thank Goodness.
