Strexting

White man's burden

surrender

What do these photographs have in common? All were taken from a moving vehicle with the camera sticking out the window, not stopping or composing. What other thing do they have in common, beside the last photo? There is no interest in them. Again, in the defining of me, of who I am, people are hesitant to like or comment on the drive by shootings. I find them interesting. No one else, save Brent did. Actually, I only posted the first, of the man standing in the middle of Baya with his phone behind him, titled Strexting, a combination of street and texting. White man burden was a good comment on our present political correct atmosphere. Surrender was Tom Grubb riding his bike along Baya, me only capturing his flag, but in a way that seems the surrender flag is being waved over the wall. The cattle were on SR 121 out from Williston. It was about an hour after sunrise and I was speeding back to Williston for gasoline. I had been along the Wacahoota road taking photographing. I stuck the camera blindly out the passenger window going about sixty and shot. It proves that even a blind man can be a photographer.

As I told Tricia, a friend on Facebook, there are things I would rather post and do, but the friend base that I have would ignore it or not understand it or condemn it, a certain imposed censorship via ignoring it. I slowly try to add friends I feel will have sympathy, but so far, they too have ignored my efforts. I continue to like the work they do. Do unto others is not one of  Facebook motto's I am finding out.
And I am loathe to post such thoughts. I do not want to air my dirty laundry. If what I do is worthy of a look, a like or a comment, then it will happen. I cannot force it to happen.  David Carol, one of those recent new friends, in his post today, said all that he has ever done, he has had to make happen, no one has ever come to him and offered him a break. And that is true. David Carol is doing the street type photography I admire. A certain humor, black and white, captured moments, brilliant and thought provoking.
My audience responds for the most part to the safety of beautiful, pretty and nice.I appreciate that. Let is be known though, it is not all that I am about.
