...
[another 'lost' photo, originally captured circa August of the previous year. I haven't been shooting much recently. Note that this fact sort of conjures another image-- that of a man sifting through old photos, fragments, scraps of history. This photo, that of this man engaged in that activity is a photo untaken, yet more significant than the placemarking image you see above. This is not about ~

talking head
I tend not to pay attention to the politics of the nation that i inhabit. American politics, geopolitics are much more fun to watch. I have found that if you watch enough of this, you begin to literally see logorrhea splash the other side of the television screen as the heads talk. It is not always so; but if you do watch enough of it, it all becomes painfully transparent and all you can really do is stare at those lips.

Holocaust Memorial, S.F.
"The Holocaust" by George Seagal...
We will never forget the genocidal slaughter of six million Jews, including one and a half million children, in the Nazi Holocaust of 1933 - 1945...
We will never forget the cruel apathy of a world which allowed that Holocaust and the deliberate murder of millions of other people to happen...
We will never forget the martyrs of that evil abyss in human history... Nor will we forget those Jews and the righteous of all faiths who resisted and fought that evil...
In the memory of those martyrs and fighters, we pledge our lives to the creation of a world in which such evil and such apathy will not be tolerated...
It is with that memory and that resolve that we dedicate this memoirial...
"In rememberance is the secret of redemption"...
