Day III

Responding to what Tom and head-honcho Hugh (if this were an English project I could have hit the Amazing Arizona All-Star Alliteration ... err, Bonus) put forward after the first couple days of door based bloggery, I have today started trying to link my photographs with the news in a visual way. This may not always be feasable due to, amongst other things, the logistical concerns involved with moving a door that weighs nearly as much as I do around using just my own limited physical strength, but I will be trying!

Today's news story is brought to you fresh from the environmentally conscious pages of The Guardian and reads as follows: "F.B.I. wants instant access to British identity data."

With this story it is fairly obvious that the underlying issue is with crime; the targetting of criminals and international crime, no doubt placed under the umbrella (ella ella ella eh eh eh) of Terrorism. I'm going to risk life and limb to make the presumption that the F.B.I. want to be able to access the data of known or suspected criminals and not just everybody including, but not strictly limited to my Nan who; unless she has been secretly wiring her pension funds to Al Qaeda is of no more interested to the Bureau than her rants about the youth of today and their taste in clothing and music are to me!

With at least parts of that in mind; to bring some relevence to my scene I decided to bring along one of my many commendeared pieces of signage; this one with the greatest of irony warns thieves of new crime-preventing technology!

Today's location was also chosen with some consideration of my news story; a dark, somewhat clandestine industrial building under lights after the darkness of night has ensconced (alright Thesaurus, that's enough from you!) all around. I felt the unavoidable inclusion of my own shadow from the bright light illuminating the scene actually aided the criminal element, my shadow imposing on the scene like a miscrient youth on the elderly at a bus stop ...
