Mourning Our Planet From a Coffee Shop Across the Bay From Death

I know that journalists and I frequent the same coffee shop. Just across the bay and within our view, sits the largest weapons storage area on the West Coast.
Still, we all must shop.
Just down the way as a dying orca swims, sits one of the earth’s largest nuclear weapons delivery and storage spots.
Still, I shop too.
There’s four more Navy bases, a Border Patrol garrison, a Coast Guard station, some park rangers and fusion center not too far off.
But still, the view is pretty nice.

Faces of Change

years become weeks
weeks become days
days become months

Spent doing what is the question. In my case, not enough photography and too much raging/arting at all the various machines. Some redirected change is in order. Not going anywhere, just morphing and shooting again.
Today I am starting with faces…faces of change. Pictured above is Amy O’ Neal…dancer, artist, mover, doer, human getting it done.
I’ll be adding more faces in the days to come, along with any words and news of the redirected change.
Thanks for reading
Al
