The iChanging Landscape

June 1, 2013

chicago sun-times photographers
kicked to the curb for
iJournalists capturing iNews with
iPhones stored in their
iPants pockets

iFreelance
but with lenses and bodies
and no iSeattle or iSpokane
outlet
has much room
unless you’re using a chicago sun-times iPhone
while stumbling across iNews
for the iReader

like the iChicago 28
i too am returning to my roots
driving truck by day
while iCursing the iChanging landscape
by night

    Unbelievable but sadly all too believable these days. We’re all commodities now, it seems.

      Commodities indeed. I was reading an interview with Chomsky last night about the state of education…man, depressing. Here’s the link.

        Good article by Chomsky, now we both can be depressed. 😉 Photographers, journalists, teachers…we’re all expendable on the corporate plantation.

        I like the intensity of the shot, looks like they’re getting ready for a duel.

          That was Cindy Sheehan discussing war/politics with two gentlemen in Vancouver, Canada. The shot is a little deceiving…but still intense. They had just hugged her after a speech she had given. Think it was early 2006…pretty emotional day.

            Now that I’ve removed my foot from my mouth…I remember Cindy Sheehan’s protests at Crawford Ranch, she even bought land nearby. I would have loved to hear her speech.

              Hard to recognize her in that shot, I tried to get a different angle than the other PJ’s there. Crawford was an experience. I was there for all the camps…I even miss the warm weather!

    I just came across this info about Cindy’s latest actions, I thought you would be interested in hearing about it: http://tourdepeace.org/the-action.html

      Thanks Jeff, I’ve been keeping an eye on that. Cindy’s pretty much doing it all by herself and a few others these days. Gone (until a Republican is president) are the thousands of angry democrats who used to protest with her everywhere…
