Watching Her Watch Her
Young black woman watching the photographer take a picture from a driver’s seat as she walks through a crosswalk. Above her is a huge billboard ad for Burberry. The ad is a picture of a woman with white blonde hair, bright white skin, and dark sunglasses. It looks like she’s looking down from above on the black woman in the crosswalk.

The tide is changing, can you feel it?

April 2025 is when America began to fight back.

State of the Republic
Sketch of Statue of Lincoln from the Lincoln Memorial BUT Lincoln has his head in his hands and the surrounding background is disintegrating. The name of the edited photo is STATE OF THE REPUBLIC. The original cartoon of Lincoln with his head in his hands appeared the day after the JFK assassination.

I call this Kaleidoscopic Slumber. My photos and the way I edit them have taken a surreal turn because we are truly in the upside down.
Photo of fish on ice at Pike Street market in Seattle Washington. The fish are pink. I edited this photo so that it looks like a kaleidoscope image, all broken and shard like.

A black-and-white picture of the profile of W. E. B. Dubois. Above his picture is his “ We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books."
