Description

"Global Warning" is a project that I am going to kick off ASAP, it will be a series of photos that depict everything that I feel is wrong with our world, photos that make you sit back and say... why do we do this? Its everyone, the people in line at Wal-Mart to check out, The parents letting their children get the super size at the fast food place, the politicians, the increasing amounts of homeless, the lack of health care, the price gouging in the oil industry... This will be my first shot at any political photography, but I really want everyone to realize that the reason the world is the way it is today is because of us, this is our mess, why cant we work to fix it? A lot of the photos may be a little disturbing so I warn you ahead of time I am not doing this to make pretty photos, I am doing this as a wake up call for America, a wake up call for the world. This needs to stop"

Corporations like Wal-mart are the reason that Americas economy is so horrible right now, they are the most shopped at store in the United States, close to 90% of their goods come from outside of the united states, so... almost 90% of all the money that Wal-Mart spends, goes outside of the US... woah... where did our economy go? Straight to China is where...

Not only do they shut down the local ma and pa stores that were already struggling, but they take away a good solid American made product and replace it with a cheap substitute from deep in Asia. They pay their workers crap, but there is nowhere else for them to work... they underpay the very few companies from the US that they do buy from because they out buy the inventory at a cost lower than that to make the product. Many go bankrupt, then when they do, Walmart puts a sweat shop up in Indonesia and pays the workers there wages that would make even a homeless American laugh.

So go ahead, save a few dollars on your groceries and your and your goods, your children Im sure will thank you when they cannot find a job and when they have no other choice for clothing and goods than Wal-Marts cheaply made cheaply priced items. The game Monopoly is fun when you are winning, but when you are living it... everyone loses.

I understand what you are talking about with the economy and walmart. I haven't shopped at one for about a year and a half and I try to convince friends and family to stay away from the place as well.
Now as far as the pictures go. They are very sharp. Personally I would have used a polarizing filter to reduce or eliminate the reflections off of the store windows. I think that the "life" in the reflections detract from the meaning of the picture. I think that being able to see through the windows into the empty stores would have a little more impact.
Just my opinion though.
