Rod Holding Wendy, Spring Valley, Wisconsin, 1991

The 1st time we met him, Rod lamented that he couldn’t afford an additional Harley to replace the 1 he’d just smashed up due to the fact he could only uncover part-time carpentry and farm jobs. He was an ex-biker and the husband of Wendy, a dancer who ‘d been performing at the Music Bar, a strip bar near our studio. They lived with their two dogs in a tiny trailer without having plumbing in a woods 20 minutes outside town.

Wendy was 30 when she decided to quit dancing. They moved to Minnesota to “go clean” and perform on a dairy farm. We visited them a single chilly rainy weekend in June and watched them milk although the farm’s owners had been out gambling. Rod was comfortable with the routine of working with the cattle. Whilst listening to the rain pounding on the roof of their avocado green mobile property that night, Rod told us about his family members back in Iowa. And about his days operating on the Texas oil wells exactly where, out of boredom, he’d gotten into cocaine and ended up dealing it. He was busted ultimately and accused of a drug-associated murder. He served time and accumulated a bunch of tattoos.

The complete-time farming phase didn’t final long and Wendy went back to dancing. They headed to Eagle River–a lumbering and hunting town in northern Wisconsin identified for its legion of strip bars and taverns–and lived in a caretaker cottage in the back of an old estate. Wendy stated Rod became increasingly withdrawn and started drinking again. He’d devote more and much more time ice fishing and walking in the woods collecting fallen eagle feathers. His hair began turning white.

He shot himself in the midst of what was one particular of the coldest winters in memory.

New Yorkers never mind that it is a Dallas-owned bus firm that takes them down to Atlantic City to spend their funds …


Image by Ed Yourdon
This photo was taken at 100th Street, at the north end of Central Park. Technically, the east-west street is called something like Frederick Douglass Boulevard, or some thing like that … but most of us just contact it 110th Street. It is as far north as my photo-walks took me in the course of 2013 and the very first couple of months of 2014 presumably I will venture additional north sometime later in 2014…

I was intrigued by how many buses that I saw carrying passengers (okay, let’s get in touch with a spade a spade: these are gamblers) approximately 100 miles south of NYC to the casinos and gambling joints of Atlantic City. I definitely knew that it was well-known in the 60s and 70s, but that was a lengthy time ago … but apparently a new generation of gamblers is ready to venture south from NYC to throw their funds away.

************************************

This set of images is based on a quite basic notion: walk each and every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what occurs. To keep away from missing anything, stroll both sides of the street.

That is all there is to it …

Of course, if you wanted to be a lot more ambitious, you could also stroll the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that’s a lot more than I am willing to commit to at this point, and I will leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, a lot more adventurous photographers.

Oh, truly, there’s 1 more little detail: leave the photographs alone for a month — unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I really concentrate on the very first of these &quotevery-block&quot images, I will have taken far more than 8,000 pictures on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side — plus yet another a number of thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the a variety of spots in NYC exactly where I traditionally take photographs. So I never expect to be emotionally attached to any of the &quotevery-block&quot photos, and hope that I will be able to make an objective choice of the ones worth hunting at.

As for the criteria that I’ve employed to pick the tiny subset of each-block photographs that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I will upload any photo that I feel is &quotgreat,&quot and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-pals will be, &quotI have no concept when or where that photo was taken, but it is truly a terrific picture!&quot

A second criterion has to do with place, and the third requires time. I am hoping that I’ll take some images that clearly say, &quotThis is New York!&quot to anybody who appears at it. Clearly, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Developing or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion but I’m hoping that I’ll uncover other, a lot more unexpected examples. I hope that I will be capable to take some shots that will make a &quotlocal&quot viewer say, &quotWell, even if that is not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or one more part of the globe, I know that that is New York!&quot And there might be some photos exactly where a &quotnon-local&quot viewer may well say, &quotI had no notion that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular.&quot

As for the sense of time: I keep in mind wandering about my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and enterprise establishments — and then casually seeking at the images about five years later, and getting stunned by how significantly had changed. Small by small, shop by shop, day by day, items modify … and when you’ve been around as long as I have, it really is even more wonderful to go back and look at the photographs you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, &quotWas it genuinely like that back then? Seriously, did people genuinely wear bell-bottom jeans?&quot

So, with the expectation that I’ll be looking at these each and every-block photos 5 or ten years from now (and perhaps you will be, also), I’m going to be doing my ideal to capture scenes that convey the sense that they have been taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010’s (I have no concept what we’re calling this decade but). Or perhaps they will just say to us, &quotThis is what it was like a dozen years soon after 9-11&quot.

Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-certain image I’ve currently taken a bunch, and I do not know if I will eventually determine that they’re worth uploading. Women’s style/styles are another obvious example of a time-particular phenomenon and even though I am absolutely not a style specialist, I suspected that I’ll be capable to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, &quotDid we genuinely wear shirts like that? Did girls actually wear those weird skirts that are quick in the front, and lengthy in the back? Did absolutely everyone in New York have a tattoo?&quot

Yet another instance: I am fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which surely wasn’t accurate a decade ago and it seems that absolutely everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their whole conscious consideration riveted on this small box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about something else that may possibly be going on (amongst other issues, that makes it very straightforward for me to photograph them with out their even noticing, specifically if they’ve also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can’t support asking yourself whether or not this sort of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have turn out to be so miniaturized that they are incorporated into the glasses we put on, or implanted straight into our eyeballs.

Oh, one final issue: I’ve designed a customized Google Map to show the precise specifics of each and every day’s photo-stroll. I’ll be updating it every single day, and the most current element of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each and every day to see where I’ve been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I must certainly visit to get some very good images, or if you’d like me to photograph you in your tiny corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can e-mail me straight at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com

Remain tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block …

THE GREEN MILE …


Image by mrbill78636
… I have this and two or perhaps 3 other factors I want to say about The Green Mile. You have to have gotten the concept currently I think this is a superlative film and hugely suggest it. Here’s a single of the factors.

… most films have a villain, or possibly many, but the presence is essential. This movie has a magnificent villain, who you love to hate, but can not get sufficient of watching. As I watched his functionality develop, I believed to myself, &quotWe got ourselves an additional Hannibal Lecter right here.

There is another villain, but whilst possessing completed an adequate job is not worth a paragraph right here. See the film and you are going to despise him as effectively. He’s 1 of the prison guards, who is a nephew of the Louisiana Governor’s wife, a physical coward and a imply, petty sadist, hated by employees and prisoners alike.

… I am sure you bear in mind what Hannibal did for A Silence fo the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins took that character to two later films, Hannibal and Hannibal Increasing. Truly there could have been four, but for confident the character was in the 1st novel, before A Silence of the Lambs was released. Below is a direct quote from Wikipedia …

&quotLecter was introduced in the 1981 thriller novel Red Dragon as a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The novel and its sequel, The Silence of the Lambs (1988), function Lecter as 1 of two primary antagonists. In the third novel, Hannibal (1999), Lecter becomes the main character. His role as protagonist and anti-hero occurs in the fourth novel, Hannibal Increasing (2006), which explores his childhood and improvement into a serial killer.&quot

… Another magnificent villain was in No Nation for Old Men. Right here is a brief except from Wikipedia …
Born Javier Angel Encinas Bardem
March 1, 1969 (1969-03-01) (age 41)
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
Occupation Actor
Years active 1990–present
Spouse Penélope Cruz (2010–present)

,… Javier plays the part of a hit man named Anton Chigurh and is completely one of the most intriguing psychopathic killers, I’ve ever observed depicted. Anton is compelled to gamble and always just before killing anyone tends to make them decide on heads or tails. If they win, he walks away and they by no means hear from him once again. If they refuse to choose, he kills them and if they shed he kills them. His visual appearance is imposing and I was shocked to study he’s married to Penelope Cruz….sigh… oh, by the way, he utilizes a pneumatic air hammer for a weapon, no ballistics, much less sound and he could even walk into a restaurant, lean it up against a chair and have lunch with out raising suspicions. I would recommend he pick a blue-collar restaurant.

… The Green Mile might not have a Hannibal Lector, but I will testify, we have ourselves here one actually magnificent villain.

… in The Green Mile, our killer is a compulsive, hyper, sadistic and cunning sociopath who is on death row and whenever there is an execution and lights blink and dim, he goes into a manic frenzy that reminds us of the frenzy of a caged monkey when agitated. He swings on the bars and screams via out the execution procedure and then prior to settling down just a little, trashes every little thing in his cell, which contains taking the feathers out of the pillows.

… the function of our Villain was played by Sam Rockwell. The name of the death row inmate he portrayed was &quotWild Bill&quot Wharton. &quotWild Bill&quot has a large tattoo of Billy the Kid tattooed on his arm and becomes furious when he’s referred to as &quotWild Bill&quot, pointing out, with disgust that &quotWild Bill&quot was a law man.

… as considerably magic as this film has, &quotWild Bill&quot is worth the cost of admission, all by himself, so do your self a favor….. and, we possibly won’t be seeing any a lot more &quotWild Bill&quot parts in films…the plot of The Green Mile requires care of that.

India – Orissa, Khariput Market, Duduma District – South Orissa


Image by Ethical Photography
Khariput Marketplace (Crucial-ree-poot)
Duduma District – South Orissa

A weekly market for the Paraja and Kondh tribes. Not a really huge market place, but fascinating, with fresh chillies and earthenware pots on sale.

There are subtle differences amongst the look of the tribes. The Paraja ladies usually wear a flower in their hair. The Kutia Kondh have a single nose ring and sometimes have tattoos, and the Koya Kondh have a conical stud in each and every nostril.

It poured with rain for awhile, so we sat below a shelter, and played a gambling game with some of the guys. The dealer had a large plastic mat with six printed symbols. You spot your bet on the symbols, and he throws six large dice – if a lot more than two symbols match up, then you win. A lot to the amusement of the locals, we won a handful of rounds, but still came away empty handed.

Two-up participants or a last supper?


Image by Vanessa Pike-Russell
The religious references in the tattoo on the boy to the right also reminded me of the final supper painting, added to by the V formed by the way the boy in white leans to the left plus the hand of god pointing to the message worn by ‘Jesus’ wearing a shirt that sends us the message to &quotCHOOSE BEER&quot

With it getting Anzac Day it reminded me that most of our living Anzacs participating in Anzac Day parades and marches were 18 years or younger. With the likelihood of death at each turn each meal could have been their ‘last supper’.

Kashmir’s Lost Generation, Published by Mint

www.livemint.com/2009/ten/10134750/Kashmir8217s-lost-gener…

As the evening contact for prayers from Srinagar’s Hazratbal mosque resounds more than the Dal Lake, Ajaz walks by means of 1 of the city’s a good number of graveyards. The young man in worn-out jeans and a physique-hugging T-shirt swaggers past unkempt tombstones, counting friends and household that are buried there—all 21 of them. He tells me how he can nevertheless see the smiling face of Mushtaq, who was his senior at college, and who would have been 27 this year. He tells me about a different friend, Javed, who was his parents’ only son. The day he died, he was wearing Ajaz’s clothes

Javed was 23 and had spent the night at his home. Ajaz remembers that 6 hours following his death, when they took his body for burial, blood was nonetheless oozing from his bullet wounds.

Every single epitaph here tells a story—the tragic story of a generation lost. Ajaz lingers for a bit, staring glassy-eyed into the distance, till he at some point snaps out of it. “Enough of this tragedy, let’s go have some entertaining.”

Ajaz is portion of Kashmir’s “lost generation”, an whole generation of youth that has grown up in a Kashmir ravaged by 20 years of turmoil. They are an age group with no actual ambitions or motivations, just a preoccupation with survival. Ajaz spends his days at 8 Ball, a smoky snooker den at Lal Chowk in the city centre. The parlour is inhabited by 15- to 20-year-olds. And this is their home turf, a place exactly where they escape the tear gas and rubber bullets of the old city—to gamble and smoke all too a large number of cigarettes. Some of the older boys such as Ajaz from time to time stroll to the football ground nearby to show off their hairstyles, their sunglasses, their cigarettes, their tattoos and, many times, even their girls.

At the parlour, Ajaz lights up a little block of hashish and watches it crumble into his palm. Sajid, a boy with really hard cheekbones and a black jacket with a woven trim, empties tobacco from a cigarette with his lengthy fingers. He looks slightly mad for some reason.

Look at these boys closely and there’s a sense of overgrown teenage urgency and escape, the sense that all these details—the parting of the hair, the length of the fingernails, the jacket trim, the cigarette grip—matter tremendously.

“Smoking up is haram (sin). But I cannot go by means of a day without rolling one. It assists us overlook,” Ajaz tells me as Sajid grunts in approval.

Ajaz’s cellphone rings with a polyphonic rendition of a song from the Hindi movie Ghajini. It is his girlfriend Farhana. They flirt awkwardly on the phone, the conversation no several than one particular two lovers would have in a Mumbai college.

This is the signal to step out. Ajaz very first stops at Broadway Cinema, a bombed out theatre, the upper floors of which have now been converted into a bar. A couple of beer cans are procured and cigarette cartons are refilled. Ajaz then picks up Farhana from a pre-decided spot.

As soon as all of us are in an autorickshaw, Farhana lets Ajaz light her cigarette. She is dressed modestly in a salwar-kameez but she admits to wearing only jeans at dwelling. “I want to go to Mumbai or Delhi, so that I can put on a skirt and be free—just like in the movies,” she tells me as the rickshaw speeds towards their hangout den, Dal Boulevard.

Ajaz waits till we’re in a shikara, or houseboat, to surprise Farhana with a can of beer. She pops it open and takes a sip. The boatman frowns but nonetheless, he manoeuvres the boat further away from the orthodoxy of Srinagar. The couple steal a kiss as a dark plume of smoke makes itself visible over the city. In Srinagar, there’s no time for really like.
