I’ve been on vacation, an awesome time away. Pics to come.

This verse comes to mind…I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God’s gift to man. Eccl 3:9-13

If you have some time this is definitely worth watching. It is a speech Chase Jarvis gave in Denver a month back. I don’t agree with some of his points but you can not help but be motivated by his creative drive. He has a vision for what is possible using todays technologies that is intimidating and inspiring.

Of course Andy Warhol had already thought of the eating of a fast food meal idea…so cool. A friend of mine sent me this link…

I am amazed at just how many blogs and resources can be found on the internet. It feels as if I have just emerged from several years of hibernation. I have been so focused on kids (we have 2), family and the day to day of running the bidness I had lost track of all that was happening online. Not that I was ever that aware of what was happening online anyway but now I really feel out of it.

I remember when I moved to NYC in ’99 to start assisting I had just gotten my first email address. The common practice was to fax over your resume to photographers that you were interested in working for. FAX! Dude…I am old. Geezerish.

My goal is to wade through this mountain range of data and pare things down to some useful links and topics to better educate myself and whomever happens to read this…Darren that would be you.

THOUGHTS on a rainy Saturday

Yesterday I had Chick Fil A, Taco Bueno and Sonic. I will be posting the images on Monday. I am home now after coming back from my “breakfast” at Jack in the Box. My meal consisted of a steak onion and cheese sandwich fries and a tea. It was disgusting and I could only eat about half of it and a few fries.

This project is a much different experience for me this time around. In college it was a comment on our convenience and abundance of our culture and my eating habits. I was really focused on making the best images I could given my restrictions that were dictated by the concept. 

Since the original idea, Fast Food Nation (visit this link for a GREAT article written by the author) came out and then Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me. (you can watch the entire movie using this link…amazing!) I have read and seen both and they have had a significant influence and expanded my thinking about the orginal idea. I thought the simplicity of Morgan’s idea is what was so genius and the results and graphic images were what made it so impactful. 

This time around it is much more about the concept than the photography. The photography is purely my attempt to document the idea. It has been much more about how peculiar the whole fast food experience really is from the restaurant decor, obnoxious music, the bad food and the trash that is left. I remember when I lived in NoHo in NYC and I was walking down Broadway past a Mc Donald’s and they had set out there trash they had generated over the past couple days it was a freakin’ mountain of bags. Imagine the amount of trash you could shove into 2 dumpsters and that was about the amount of trash sitting on the curb waiting for pick up.

I believe it says so very much about the American way of life in such a succinct way. It taps into our fast paced life, problems with obesity, environmental concerns and loss of nuclear families. Food is a central gathering point where we come together with family, enjoy conversations and live life. As a society we have cheapened and marginalized the importance of that experience in our overly busy lives.

I woke up thinking about the entry of my portraits of IDP’s. I looked up some statistics from the UNHCR about their numbers. Some sobering information to start your day.

Analysis of refugee data reveals two major patterns. First, the vast majority of refugees are hosted by neighbouring countries with over 80 per cent remaining within their region of origin.

Second, available information indicates that the number of urban refugees continues to grow. It is estimated that half of the refugee population was residing in urban areas at the end of 2007.

 

While the number of refugees and IDPs falling under UNHCR’s responsibility was estimated at 25.1 million, available information suggests that a total of 67 million people had been forcibly displaced at the end of 2007 (see box). This includes 16 million refugees, of whom 11.4 million fall under UNHCR’s mandate and some 4.6 million Palestinian refugees under the responsibility of the United Nations

Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The number of IDPs is estimated at 51 million worldwide; some 26 million were displaced as a result of armed conflict and another 25 million were displaced by natural disasters. In addition, while often not considered as being displaced per se, it is estimated that there are some 12 million stateless people worldwide.

 

Category of forced displacement Total (in mln) 

Refugees under UNHCR mandate 11.4 

Refugees under UNRWA mandate 4.6 

Total number of refugees 16.0 

Conflict-generated IDPs 26.0 

Natural disaster IDPs 25.0 

Total number of IDPs 51.0 

Total number of refugees and IDPs 67.0

I am thinking…will anyone ever read this? If a tree falls in the forest onto a computer that is hooked up to the internet does it make a blog?

Here I am inside the world wide web tapping out my first (bloglette- the small entries that make up the entire blog?). Let me begin by apologizing for the bad punctuation that will most certainly be contained in everything I write. Let me layout my goals for this site.

 

1. Still working on this goal…

2. Share my thoughts and random images that I think are cool

3. Connect with other folks who are like minded

4. Cyberspace domination

5. Share information

6. Have a creative outlet outside of my work website

7. Post lots of cool pictures and other stuff

 

Thats all for now…
