Kerk's Lens

-



Thomas B.L. Kerk is described here as a ‘corporate lawyer’ and ‘art connoisseur’ and an ‘idealist’ in this brief. I refuse to dim the focus. I simply know him as a friend who brings humanity to the door; everything else about him is commentary.

He arrives with the simplest of objectives. On the eve of Christmas, he prematurely exited a function and graced my home with 4 pints and a thumb drive. The unconventional gift bore images of people, consensual, honest and real as there are.

Quite unlike those who foist self-serving imagery and travelogues, Kerk transports the human spirit. He deftly sets aside the messenger and highlights the message.

I thought I share a little teaser, mindful the limits of the visual do not bear out the depth of the lens; Kerk’s Lens, as the commentary is aptly titled.

    His pictures capture people. I am just the opposite. My pictures captures everything else.

    Justin, having seen your clips, I have this to say. While Kerk transports the human spirit, you highlight nature. In the process, you underscore the result if its abused. I am looking forward to a sidebar on your blog highlighting this angle, if not your photography skills. Cheers

    They are very intriguing pictures. You can learn the ups and downs of people's life through the lens. There is one image that I really like - a boy squatting and holding a bowl. Looks like a beggar kid (I'm not sure), but he's laughing --> A concept of happiness in the eye of a kid. Love it!!

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion.
