“Like fire waiting to be lit” – When the riots

“Like fire waiting to be lit” - When the riots started, there were these words that kept coming to mind. When I visited L.A. for a week and a half in 2016 the city had me severely depressed and terrified. We didn’t have a car so we walked & took public transport, something everybody afterwards told us was a big mistake and very dangerous. When getting in one metro I remember two guys and a nurse talking about their friend that just got shot in his stomach because he was flaunting his new camera, implying that he shouldn’t have been so stupid to show it (I had one in my backpack at that point). Same metro: I remember this drugged up mother telling everybody in the car her neglected, dirty kid was the prettiest (it was). I remember a guy with a handkerchief bound over it’s face as a bandage to cover or protect the sores on his face. He had turned the handkerchief inside out a couple of times before, by the looks of it. I remember the elder woman who spoke in tongues and shoo’d us for being unmarried and still sitting close together.
We also walked. You’d have a “good” street and then walk into a “bad” street by accident where only people of colour lived. The white neighbourhoods were fenced off and had private guards. The ghetto’s had tents and collecting trash for a living. Tents on the sidewalks everywhere. People lived in these. And it wasn’t one, two, or even tens of people, it was literally a whole damn neighbourhood. Most white people only drive through L.A., so they don’t have to deal with this.  Within days, all I wanted was to leave. The amount of segregation, the poverty, the racism was too much and too in my face. I cannot fathom how it would be to have this as a daily reality. I stand with and admire the BLM movement and will try to help make 2020 a year of change. These pictures are downloadable rights free on Unsplash, if anybody could use them.

I shot “white men” back in 2017 when Trump was

I shot “white men” back in 2017 when Trump was just elected to vent my disappointment. I pride myself in having an open mind that tries to hear all sides, which was also the reason I did not publish this shoot apart from a specific exposition - but it’s time to vent again. I have been declared a terrorist by the guy - as I have been in ANTIFA protests and strongly believe in the damn right of demonstrating against facism & racism. I don’t think violence will help much - but I understand why it’s happening. There is so much racism, segregation and poverty in America that I don’t know if there are many other options left besides violent riots. It feels like a fire waiting to be lit. There’s a demo on the dam square this afternoon - if you’d like to vent too.

Yesterday @stansmeets958 came by with his band @hard2getband again - after the actual shoot was done I noticed this lovely evening night and asked him for a couple more pictures.
This one is rather dark, although that’s not at all how I know Stan. He has enthusiasm unlike many other people I’ve met - something rare and precious. Our first shoot was in 2015 and it’s nice to bump into one another every two years or so. See how somebody is doing, how their music is evolving.
