Family Day at the Demo

It has been a while since I shot anything but walls with my Camera.

So I headed out to the anti-nuclear demonstration, more out of the democratic principle that Germany is not ruled by a lobby, money or an oligarchy, than to protest against nuclear. And Camera came along.

Be warned: what you are about to see is extremely subjective.

On the way to, all were beaming with excitement.

"We're on a tractor. From a farm. We got flags." Bliss.

The latest in personal energy generation.

Greenpeace gets all the best floats.

And closer up.

Cans!

Serene sunday!

She speaks in a calm, collected voice, full of knowledge, experience and occasional wisdom, without being desperately full of herself. One of my favourite sayings is, so far, goes something like "The most successful revolution was the secession of the rich onto a global planet, wherefrom they cannot see the poor.

A month or so into what may be a new normal, my life is still pleasant- with some adjustment, I am, so far, privileged in this absence of change and an ability to follow the crisis as I would fol...

The Books of Faragh Vol. 3: Of March 2020

The May Issue is available at Modern Graphics in Oranienstr., Berlin. It's all about lines. Below: The April Issue of the Book of Faragh. The comic I chose for this month was "L'Arabe du Futur 2 (1984—1985)" by Riad Sattouf. If the first volume is anything to go by, the second one (in French this time) should continue to be a thought-provoking journey through a youth in Syria and France.
