Spare a thought for the dogs on New Year’s Eve

Spare a thought for the dogs on New Year’s Eve. Spend your whole life thinking about those who cannot speak. 

Tonight we have a black moon, meaning the sky will not light up unless we light it. But why light it up with cheap explosives bought down at the traffic lights? Rather just give the hawkers the cash you would’ve given them, for nothing in return, and pay for their night off. And save the dogs.

A black moon is pretty rare and happens when two new moons appear in a single calendar month. There’s a valve in every artist’s heart that opens up to a chamber of darkness.

But can you make pictures somewhere between the two? That depends on your conscience. Nothing and nobody is altogether good or bad.
