Re: Photographing strip malls

[Rich Mason <cameratraveler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, money may rule, but who says it has to, and that we can't change? 
 Money ruled when we had slavery.  Money ruled when women didn't have 
the right to vote or exercise the full privileges of citizenship.  And, 
 money ruled when we rebelled against the tyranny of King George.

Now the time has come for us to rebel against the corporate lords who 
would have us believe that more--and more, and more, and more--is 
better.

To somehow hope to make this a bit more topical, here's a link to some 
good reading, accompanied by some excellent photography:

And another piece, with a couple interesting photos:

And yet another from Orion Magazine, from which the following quote 
comes:
"If aliens from outer space visited this planet they would quickly 
decide that the ruling beings have four wheels; certainly, the 
two-legged creatures seem eager to sacrifice to the automobile their 
time, fortune, and quality of life.   Add a lane, pave it over, build a 
strip mall.  If there is a shred of natural beauty left, erase it.  All 
hail to the automobile!  The automobile rules."

Nothing changes unless we make it change.

Cheers?
