This is a beautiful framing of the Stephe ‘sInc tower in #LittleRock #Arkansas

This building is a daily reminder that the good ole boys still think they call the shots in our town.

Watching a thunderstorm come straight at you while you are 10 stories above ground in a glass enclosed room is an experience that’s hard to put into words

So I tried to put it in a picture

What do u feel when u see this scene?

Black and white image of the junction bridge walking bridge across the Arkansas river in Little Rock, Arkansas. The scene is composed with a heavy atmospheric perspective; the building buildings trees and bridges progress from Black and the foreground to White in the background Motion blurring of the trees and the streaks of rain on the window imply a very dramatic storm

Two bridges across the Arkansas river in Little Rock, Arkansas. (left to right) the main street bridge, and the junction walking bridge are shown in black-and-white slightly obscured by the fog and rain storm covering the river. The vintage point of the photo is behind a window because one can see the streaks of water coming down the glass window A thunderstorm begins to obscure the Hillcrest area of Little Rock as the storm moves into downtown. The left side of the image is the Marriott hotel and the state House convention center, and the right side of the image shows a portion of the arch of the Broadway bridge and the bearing crossing railroad bridge behind it. The center of the image is cut with trees and varying degrees of sunlight and shadow A wall cloud rolls across Little Rock, Arkansas. The top half of the frame is a bright white storm cloud. The bottom, half of the frame is a view looking west from river market. The two portions of the image are separated by the dark blue of the Stormy area itself. Gynger, Trans woman and queer photographer from Little Rock Arkansas, poses for a selfie, sitting on a stool with her camera and telephoto zoom lens held up to her eye as she looks to the upper left corner of the frame. The vantage point of the portrait is from below her knees, looking up to her chin, which is just above center in the picture

Have you ever stopped to watch the police work?

Each car has the gestapo’s +1 (bestie?)… So that’s 3 cars & 6 cops, plus 1 car & 2 officers I couldn’t fit in frame

What catastrophe led to this police engagement?

A Black man w/ a speech impediment asking for
Money

I haven’t seen storm clouds like this since 1997 in Texas

The next day - I was in the army at the time - we were deployed to pick up the pieces of the town of Jarrell, Texas.

The windows in the stephens tower in downtown little rock arkansas reflect the leading edge of a thunderstorm to the east of town while the foggy green of the trailing edge to the west come up behind the tour. The overall vibe of the photo is ominous.

The Stephens family building in Little Rock appears to be falling, with a Little Rock parking lot in the foreground, and a sign for a museum to the 19th century . The Stephens family built their fortune by taking Walmart public, and protect it by bankrolling Trump and MAGA Nazis.

Little Rock is the Drag Capitol of the World.

Open Stage nights at Club Sway are great places to work on photo skills

I don’t know the artists: I have to be spontaneous

I can practice new techniques like these multiple exposure shots

I dont have show notes to tag the performers

We talk of Arkansas’ Natural Beauty

On thurs, this was a bright and wild patch Of red clover, pink primrose & yellow coreopsis.

Bunnies & ground nesting birds lived here, an urban coyote used a path at night.

Today, its a patch of dead grass and runoff mud

The city mowed this downtown Little Rock Arkansas field of colorful pink primrose, red clover and yellow coreopsis. In exchange, we get dead grass and mud runoffs.

Whispers of the forest, wrapped in morning mist 🍃
Where time slows, and every leaf tells a story.
A quiet place between dreams and waking... 🌿✨

What an amazing morning we had today!

Anither George Mann building on Louisiana street in downtown little rock obscured by a covered elevated walkway that is reflecting buildings behind the camera.

#Fireworks set me off everytime

They dont sound alike, but when u hear celebratory pops, i hear & feel #grenades

They harm birds & all manner of wildlife

They coat the #environment with the residue of burnt plastic

I will leave this to you to interpret.

It is titled: “Stopping to take a picture while on a dogwalk in #LittleRock #Arkansas to see if that car is following me or just driving slow.”
