This administration illegally denied hundreds of people due process, then deported them to a country they’ve never known, run by an authoritarian infamous for cruel treatment of prisoners. They then deceived a federal judge to buy time for the planes to land so he couldn’t do anything about it.

As predicted these clowns are planing to fire sale the nations public lands. My bet is they transfer most of whatever they gain to themselves. Call your reps and raise hell. 202 224 3121 PS Our standing policy is we don't show his ugly mug on our page. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

..I felt that photography ought to start with and remain faithful to the appearance of the world, and in so doing record contradictions. The greatest pictures would then... find wholeness in the torn world. Robert Adams #blackandwhitephotography #mono #monochrome #swamp #landscapephotography

The abstracting of visual elements in order to recognize their particularity has become automatic, but seeing, combining, and creating them as integrated 'wholes' will remain a lifelong challenge. Freeman Patterson #landscapephotography #swamps #color #cypress

“It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.” Erica Jong

“I really didn’t have much to teach. I didn’t even believe in it. I felt so strongly that everybody had to find their own way. And nobody can teach you your own way in terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don’t do it you don’t know what might happen” Harry Callahan
