    Well, these are really sad photos but they reflect, in my opinion, a global sense of futility. A deep sense that whatever you do, the system gets you. They only give voice to this feeling. As I said, it is sad and not in our own interest.

    Lovely! And it reminds me of that guy I met and photographed, the one with the ACAB tattoo. The Rebel.

    Looks like home.

    Thank you for 'translating' the ACAB, as I did not know it, while having countless wall over here with it.

    Your walls, an interesting mean to measure time and life indeed. Please have a good weekend.

    As you know I'm very familiar with this kind of stuff... However the '1312' code is new to me.

    Very sad. There seems to be a general unrest in Europe and North America. More than usual. I worry about it because a friend's son (an otherwise good kid, age 23) has recently gotten into a lot of trouble with his beliefs about anarchism.

    These feelings are everywhere. Even in small towns like mine.

    Well, not the greatest thing to write on a wall...but I have to say that 1312=ACAB code is brilliant! I'd never be able to figure that one out.

    Sad. Reminds me of the only nazi bookshop in Europe, 2 streets away from where we live. The owner just started an 18 months stint in jail.

    There are some really disaffected folks in Livorno. Sad to see.
