These are images I originally had on FlickR, as user “thivierr”, that I moved to WordPress, using Rob’s FlickR Importer, a WordPress plug-in I created. You can also find images via my FlickR Tag Clouds.

Smiling for the Camera

Smiling for the Camera
Something I've wondered, is why police need to wear high visibility vests in situations like this during day time, yet don't need them when working the streets at night, doing regular work, which probably has more risk of being struck by a vehicle. Personally, a better approach might be to have uniforms that are easier to spot without wearing anything on top.

South Sudanese Supporting UN Help

South Sudanese Supporting UN Help
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014 a group of people from the South Sudanese community rallied for peace in Sudan. They support Hilde Johnson as the head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan in its efforts to bring peace. This group is the polar opposite of the March 24, 2014 rally, which also took place outside City Hall. The earlier group demonized Johnson and the UN (showing what I considered a highly offensive caricature of her as seen here). Fortunately, both events were peaceful.
