• Ephphatha Poetry: "Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black" – Tim Wise
  via @ebertchicago:
  

  Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters —the black protesters — spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn’t like were enforced by the government? Would these protester — these black protesters with guns — be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that’s what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation’s capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country’s political leaders if the need arose.

…is this photo:

I’m pretty psyched about that.

In August, I submitted 10 photos to “The Relentless Eye”, an all cameraphone photo exhibit at the Helen Day Art Center^[1] in Stowe, Vermont.  Earlier this week I started looking to see if any of my photos made it into the show.  And I’m pleased to say that one did:

And here it is with the other 133 juried photos.

The exhibition opens Friday September 25th (6pm to 9pm) and is at 5 School Street in Stowe:

Congratulations to my pals Adam and Sue on their nuptials yesterday atop Mount Philo.  Holy moly what an awesome wedding.  And I had the privilege of photographing the festivities.

Many happy years to you two.

UPDATE: All the pics on Flickr.

Enjoy. It’s getting quite a bit of action on Flickr right now.
