“the workers were hardly human. their eyes were glazed, stricken, insane. they laughed at anything and mocked each other continually. Their insides were stamped out. they had been murdered.
‘those are good men,’ said the cigar.
‘sure they are. half their salaries go to state and federal taxes; the other half goes to new cars, color t.v., stupid wives and 4 or 5 different types of insurance.”
― Charles Bukowski

Cardinal Guzman 
Little bit of motion sickness going in this one…interesting, but a bit hard for me to look at.
Thanks. It was a lucky shot really.
Really love this take…
Thank you!
Brilliant shot, Cardinal. I’m guessing you took this in motion. Nice to see you going out and about when the weather’s looking pretty decent. It’s still pretty warm here in Melbourne given it’s mid-autumn. Hope all is well with you.
That’s correct. I was sitting in the moving car when I shot this. It’s an old photo that I shot in Israel a couple of years ago. In my mind Melbourne and Australia in general is always warm.
Yikes, quite the quote but love the photo.
Thanks Tina. I love Bukowski.
me, too, également… 🙂 he’s one of the titans of the world’s literature, even though he was a heavy “booser”, who cares?!… 😉
Yes, a titan. One summer I borrowed all the books I could find at the local library and had them order the other ones from other libraries. I consumed his novels and poems while I got drunk.
What an interesting take on the subject. Entirely unique. The quote sums up modern life for so many people.
Yes I feel the same way about the quote. It’s all about shopping, looks and money. The good old bread and circus, but the circus has been replaced by sports.
Great clarity and motion blur!
Thanks Patti! I hope you’ve had a great New York Easter.
A very good blur. This one stumped me as I never keep my blurred pics and lost my inspiration on this subject matter. Impressed at your take x
Thanks Justine. I usually delete all my blurry photos too, but this one has just a tiny touch of motion blur so it survived the deletion process.
well it’s great, i found my blur today by pure chance, normally like you i would have just deleted it, but actually glad I didn’t because it looks quite odd, odd can be good right? 😀 x
It’s a little blurry isn’t it…ooh, right
Hehe, yes just a slight touch of motion blur.
