Thats America for you.

Shot in Morro Bay, California. Curves, Levels, and Desaturation in Photoshop.

Lens: Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 Mk. II
Aperture Priority at f/1.8



This photo has stirred up a considerable amount of controversy, more so than any other piece of artwork I have uploaded. I guess I am glad, at least it's having an impact on people. But it amazes me. I take a picture of a flag, naturally juxtaposed with a few other elements (note that this was exactly as I found it, I in no way manipulated the scene), uploaded it here with a (purposefully) vague caption not stating any sort of political stance, and yet it seems some people are in outrage. And it interests me further how all the outrage seems along the same sort of vaguely psuedo-patriotic, how dare you insult My-Country-Tis-of-Thee-Oh-So-Free-Now-Let's-Go-Slaughter-Some-Injuns, all-following, Orwellian dream vein.

So enjoy the controversy.
It's just a picture.

Stunning tones and the f stop of 1.8 looks great. The simple made interesting!

Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.
More than anything for me, the flag could not be positioned more perfectly. While most ashtrays are dirty, this one is just deplorable. Kudos.

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! 8:13
