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.

A strange orange glow emerges in the sky, after 5 months of snow, tornadoes, and rain.

Just a reminder :

All who protest under the American flag are not Americans.

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?

"The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day. I sat there with #Fujixt5 … We sat here we two and we said 'How we wish we had something to do.'"

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?

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.

Canadian Geese in Little Rock are restless. Seen here preparing to invade an engineering firm downtown.

I blame tairiffs and trans ppl

Hes been sitting here for 2 hrs and 51 minutes.

During that time, how many people are waiting on cops to show up from a 911 emergency call?

I dont #photograph the Stephens Tower often

The name marks a family that has thrown down w/ MAGA Nazis & have invested heavily in their success

But this week, I started confronting the things about #LittleRock I dont like, to look deeper for what i do

“And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, & the floods came, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell, & great was the fall of it.”

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

On a #photowalk through #downtown #LittleRock this morning, i came back to #reflections in the #urbanlandscape

One reason: they r the only way to “tie” downtown spaces together

other towns have bodegas & shops on edges of downtown spaces: LR has #parkinglots

#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

But hey, the Travs won?

I feel like if we just replaced all the grass with wildflowers, our cities and towns would have a much cooler vibe.

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.”

The second photo was my outfit.

After My grandfather retired as a Court Reporter in US Senate (1954-75), he took me on weekly tours of the US Capitol.

I love capitol buildings. The marble, details, smells, echoes.

This one in #Arkansas, built by unpaid Black labor, has been hard to connect to

This week, Arkansas State Capitol House Courtesy Officer Jay Grelen took pictures of my butt & my friends breasts, & tried to take an “upskirt” photo of me.

I dont know what makes a white xtian man think he can point his camera up someone’s dress.

But i know Trans ppl arent to blame

The whole town if #LittleRock #Arkansas was on edge all day, yesterday, as parallels to 2023 emerged

But the storm has passed

For now

Sending love & calming energy to all fellow humans still in harms way

Last pic is me, Gynger, trans photographer
