Not all battles are fought with a sword
Yeah, so these guys apparently made a wall-sized “mosaic” of Elvis using different colored post-it notes. People then posted photos so we could all bask in the reflected glory. (This thing is big – that’s the conference table and chairs in the bottom and left of the photo.)
Makes me feel less silly about taking pictures of paper cut outs of our hands in the garden yesterday…
No tag for this post.
After the devastating Madrid bombings a few years ago a number of people chose to respond by painting their hands white, a symbol which
…originated in Spain, when students in Madrid used it in 1996 as a sign of innocence and of their revulsion at the murder, by the ETA terrorist group, of Francisco Tomás y Valiente
(source SUR in English).
Recent events in London inspired people on Flickr to combine this idea and photography, and quite a collection of “white hand” photographs have been generated over the last few days. Many are fairly straightforward, but several are wonderfully creative (such as the one to the left). The paper hands above belong to me and WeatherGirl. I couldn’t really figure out how to paint my hands white and take photos, and I wanted to do something that involved the family, so I cheated and made paper cut outs :-).
