- che guevara |or The Endless Pursuit of Unnecessary Things

Che Guevara and Bart Simpson - I like the comparison. One of my favorite quote comes from Homer Simpson; "what if you prayed to the wrong God all your life?"
. . . :)
But you guessed right . . . this is not the reason why I posted yet another of the stencil arts from Riga. . . First of all . . . I like the concept . . . Bart and Che . . . the two are famous rebellions . . . and that's about all they have in common :)
Bart likes to be in persuit of unnecessary things . . . Che was fighting this.

So why did I post this? . . . well . . . I feel we are at a point where we should think about it . . . the credit crunch has ended a period of super-capitalism (or economism or neo-capitalism) . . . and to get out of it we should start consuming again? . . . at least that's the solution that's been offered to us.
. . . I think it's better if we change for quality . . . I don't mind paying more for a table that is hand made . . . more stylish and personal . . . more eco-friendly . . . locally made . . .
But like - george -, I'm a clown . . . a fool . . . for proposing something different.. . . don't hang out with me! . . . people will think you are strange too . . . you might be thinking for yourself . . . talk about problems . . . even looking for solutions.

We have lost our ideals . . . NGO's do that for us now . . . they have lobbyists . . . advertise for your money so you can be free. . . . If you feel guilty . . . you can pay your way out of it . . . like buying your way into heaven in the middle ages.

choose . . . . Bart or Che.

PE2;
autolevels (let me know what you think of it!), crop, resize to 1250, sharpen, resize to 1050, sharpen, resize to 700, sharpen, added border and text.

About the post-processing;
. . . no unsharp mask this time . . . there was hardly any difference . . . sharpening worked much better. . . main diference; the photo became lighter . . . the original was a bit too dark and I used another post processing before, but I don't like changing reality too much . . . there is enough back slapping on TE for fake colors as it is.
