Cool or Interesting pictures of you (Or You've taken)

Haiti, 1995-ish




I've posted th is before, and like I said before, at this day and age, I would not have done the picture again. I asked a little Haitian boy if he'd take a dollar for posing in the picture like this. It was meant to be a showdown of the corporal (I forget his name) carrying an M16 and this little boy carrying a squirt gun.

It never occurred to me that it would represent anything more than a weird picture to take, and implied any moral statements. Of course, later on, I realized it probably would disturb a lot of people.


It's still an interesting picture to me though strictly from the standpoint of me reflecting on my past and situations that I've been in. The day this picture was taken, I saw a burn mark on a road where the local Haitians had cut up and set a female "witch" on fire, saw a little girl butchering a pig's head, saw cesspools in the street, and road down the streets of Port-o-Prince with my head sticking out of a Hum-v carrying an unloaded M16 . I don't have busy days like that much anymore.

vivid is my new boo!

I only say it's interesting because of the extreme idiocy that prompts something like this...it was posted on a convenience store window, it's good to know that the Diet Coke & bag of ice that I bought wasn't gonna fund dirty bombs an' shit....

Patriotism in general is absurd, imho.

I think this looks pretty cool.



Pics during the night of the coup were probably more interesting but I seem to have deleted them.

That's cool. Did you use a little x-pro on that?

Ah, looks like a similar effect, from the green 'edge' that it's got.

There's a good Nik plug-in for Photoshop that has a bunch of fully adjustable x-pro filters. Very addictive!

Ok.

I like the way you've used the treatment.

Also, re the lingo, somebody I know on Redbubble was giving me some tips on photography and mentioned how I should look through my photography books again or go through my magazines to try to get some inspiration (to give my images more punch, which they tend to lack). I suddenly realised I have never once in my life read a book or magazine on photography. It probably shows!

punch? that's so subjective


whatever might that mean?

Not really interesting or spectacular , but this was around 10 AM in the morning at South Beach around 2005-ish.

It captures how calm and quiet the place is before noon on account everyone is still recuperating from the night before.
