A silent scenery in four acts...
(Selenium-toned[1] 4x6 salt print (still in final wash) plus previous work-in-progress stages... see alt text for details)
The picture/motif itself is one of my personal favorites and was taken 4 years ago in the Alpstein massif, when clouds were spontaneously forming around us, creating a wonderful light/scene/drama and a dear memory... now also as print which likely will/can outlast myself

The notice Norton received from human resources stated that the…

Immigration agents have put civilians’ lives at risk using more than their guns.
An agent in Houston put a teenage citizen into a chokehold,

A black-masked agent in Los Angeles pressed his knee into a woman’s neck while she was handcuffed;

An agent in Massachusetts jabbed his finger and thumb into the neck and arteries of a young f…
