My mom has cancer. My dad is ten years older & unable to care for her. They found an asst. living facility to move to, but they won't get rid of anything. They think they're going to move from a five bedroom home to a 3 room apartment with all their stuff. And it's an unhealthy amount of clutter at that...magazines & coupons going back ten years, old knickknacks of some $$$ value but no function, etc. When I try to help them sell anything they say they are too tired to do all the homework involved and don't trust me to sell it for a good profit. When I try to box things up for goodwill they don't want to give it away. Mom only wants to get rid of Dad's things, Dad only wants to get rid of Mom's things. Now they say today to just leave the house sitting til they die and auction everything off and they don't care about seeing the money after all. How did anyone else get through this phase with their parents?

slowly damaging or poisoning the planet? Can we continue the current American lifestyle in any substantial way? Are we faced with a choice of either major changes very soon or severe hardship very soon?

This project is based on:
Process – a systematic series of actions directed to some end; a continuous action, taking place in a definite manner.
Semiotics – the study of signs and symbols as elements of communication. The signifier, or the object/image, leads to the signified, which is the associated meaning.

For this project, consider how you gather your source materials, whether they are actively sought out, deliberately chosen, found, or happen by chance. You may use ANY material (within reason), incorporation of other artistic mediums, documentation of an action, use of participants, etc. The process may also be a springboard for the imagery that you gather.
How would you tackle this project as a photography ma
Then, create a complete composition in Photoshop, using the idea of semiotics to communicate your interpretation of your theme. Consider the relationships that are created by the imagery used, the various types of interpretation, and how different viewers may read the image

This priestess asked Zeus to help the Toronto soccer team score in today's game.

"Hear me as I ask your blessings on this stadium, where bold men will strive on the morrow to wrest victory in the field.

"May their efforts delight your eyes. Let their battle be glorious, yet grant safety to these men in their exertions.

"And (this is the biggie), let those who behold the contest see many goals over which to raise their voices in wild cheers of approval."

What do you think of the prayer? And the story itself ? (if you read it)

I am going to die in seven days. How are you going to convince me your God is real so I can be saved?

Hurry! Isn't this your job? Aren't you supposed to save the lost? Aren't you supposed to care about my soul?

Your God didn't seem to give you much to work with. Did he?

So here is the situation - Police do a search on a house - they do have a no knock warrent - they find nothing illegal in the premises - so everyone is charged with disorderly conduct and two people are charged with head of house hold -

Went to court and plead not guilty to both charges because there was nothing in the house - ( correction one person had weed on them but it was not enough for sale only consumption and it was inside their pocket they werent even charged with possession ) - i made the mistake of requesting a bench trial because i was assuming at least one of the charges if not both were to be thrown out - the judge at first refused to allow me a lawyer said the charges werent important enough if was a non jailable offense to grant me a public defender - ( i dont make enough to hire a lawyer ) so after entering my plea and them changing the court date a few times - ( less than 3 ) we went back and they tried to get us to cop a plea ( cont )
