The theme for week 2 was Your Passion. I have many but in the last year or two, one of my main focuses has been on learning new music to sing with the piano.

I’m getting a bit of a late start to the 52 Weeks of Photography by @clondon but here is my shot that captures my photography goal for 2022 #clondon52 #clondon52w1 #photography (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZpB4HyOp7M/?utm_medium=tumblr
I assumed within a few minutes of arriving in this town, I would be able to find some sort of racist or prejudice gesture broadcast proudly. I had a feeling this would be the case, because I grew up in a small town just like this one. ⠀ ⠀ Small towns are full of tradition. They are by their nature, insular, and inward looking. Things are difficult, and by and large, the outside world doesn't care. Ignorance and fear finds its way in and stays there. The ideas that are born from ignorance and fear are a tradition in their own. Your family and neighbors are not infallible. It's not always possible to leave that small town, but you can leave those ideas and values behind. You can fight back against those ideas the same way they were taught to you. ⠀ ⠀ We've all seen a million different metaphors and analogies for what a dog whistle "all lives matter" and "blue lives matter" are. You don't need this explained to you again, but your family might. Your friends might still. ⠀ ⠀ Don't let it slide. Don't lose focus. Black people are still being murdered in the streets by police while the media's focus turns away to new topics. Donate your money, your mindshare, and your attention. Help. ⠀ ⠀ The prompt for this week (I'm several behind now) was "Tradition" with open interpretation.⠀ ⠀ #clondon52w22 #clondon52 #tradition #rural #iowa #midwest #sonyimages #sigmaimages #ia #blm ⠀ (at Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbxKRapws5/?igshid=1huty40izbz39
" The paper says the whole world is on fire. But this street is quiet... " I hope as things start to feel a little less raw, we don't forget the way the last week has felt. The anger may fade, and so might your shame, but the determination to fix things should not fall from your conscious. Continue to provide support and messaging in the ways that you can. Continue to support businesses owned and operated by people of color. Continue to donate, and keep these issues front of mind when you vote in November and every opportunity after that. The establishments that are in power in this country want you to feel satiated and content again so that they can continue business as normal. Our attention span is one of the largest threats to equality and justice in this country. -- This is my submission for #clondon52w21. This photo challenge is a selfish endeavor. It's solely about myself and my goals. This hasn't been the time for me to focus on me, and I shouldn't be trying to make myself the center of attention. The world outside is much more important. This prompt was "Your Neighborhood". . . . . . . . #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #clondon52 #evanston #chicago #illinois #artofchi #sonyimages #sigmaimages #bw (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJwLfjJiQy/?igshid=5jzwo2faak7m
Isolation has a lot of us returning for creative endeavors and hobbies of old. To match this weeks theme of isolating a subject for #clondon52 , I tried to focus on @missmollyjay working on her cross stitch project. . . . . . . . . #clondon52w20 #isolation #artsandcrafts #stayathome (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAeOfTEJUGI/?igshid=bvpr2z3wxol
Slowly playing catch up with #clondon52. The week 18 prompt was "Modernity" which is a task I've struggled with someone under the current conditions. This photo is maybe an illustration of a hope to return to modernity. Light trails and portraits of urban environments were things that initially drew me to photography as cliche as they are. Everything about cities and urban environments screamed modernity to a kid who grew up in the middle of cornfields. . . . . . . #clondon52w18 #modern . #longexposure #longexposurephotography #agameoftones #gameoftones #evanston #artofchi #chi #amazing_longexpo #nightphotography #night #sonyimages #sigmalens #cityscape #lighttrails #cityphotography #insta_chicago #moodygrams #enjoyillinois #illinois #adventure #urbex #amazing_longexpo #abstractart #tron (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAAzbGwJTEh/?igshid=lrz7sjo72fqm
