Artist's Comments

Reverberating in my ears, and/or in my eyes,
StopBushStoptheBombingStoptheBlood
Savethe F R E E W O R L D
Savethe P O O R I R A Q I S
Who will same me from the
mindless self-indulgent patriotism and nationalism
Angel-headed hipsters who think their words
can change the world?
History repeats itself, and maybe it's
Vietnam all over again.
Earlier, maybe World War 2.
Maybe this is what it was like, when
Genghis Khan took over
Asia Minor.
There are no power in your words,
Or in a College Kids photographs.
History books will not be rewritten because
of the youths who think we need
a new Kent State of Address
or people calling their potatoe wedges
Freedom Fries, the nails Freedom manicures.
History books will be rewritten because
E.veryone W.ants to P.lay G.od.

Landscapes are not my strongest point, and I took these not for political reasons, but rather because I enjoyed the ingenuity that the locals took in displaying their opinions.

I dig this set of images, plus your description/poem/words are quite powerful. Great work with soul.

Peace

Thank you so much. It always means a lot to hear from other artists and the effects that anything I do has on them.

beautiful statement; I agree, the words and image together make a great combination...

I love the fact that every single one of these looks exactly the same, with the one way sign, but they are all so different. From street scenery to composition.

I also took it as "One way to stop war" I don't know. That's the way my mind works. The description is excellent too. Sometimes that's how I feel.

And jesus. I didn't know they were calling them "freedom manicures"... how 'bout a "freedom kiss" baby?

I also took it to mean "One way to stop war." It means a lot to have your opinion on this dear. Thank you so much.
