The story behind this story is that the photographer who took this photo was capturing the fact that in the 70's/80's so many gay employees were closeted, even more the people who were into the underground gay BDSM lifestyle. The reason why this image inspired me is because I'm one to express equality in every way I can, I like to push boundaries in topics like these. Topics that are talked about but are usually ignored after awhile.

There was nothing particularly special about Garth and Lisa or the violence that happened in the bathroom of their suburban New Jersey home one night in 1982. Enraged by a perceived slight, Garth beat his wife while she cowered in a corner. Such acts of intimate-partner violence are not uncommon, but they usually happen in private. This time another person was in the room, photographer Donna Ferrato.

Ferrato, who had come to know the couple through a photo project on wealthy swingers, knew that simply bearing witness wasn't enough. Her shutter clicked again and again. Ferrato approached magazine editors to publish the images, but all refused. So Ferrato did, in her 1991 book Living With the Enemy. The landmark volume chronicled domestic-violence episodes and their aftermaths, including those of the pseudonymous Garth and Lisa. Their real names are Elisabeth and Bengt; his identity was revealed for the first time as part of this project. Ferrato captured incidents and victims while living inside women's shelters and shadowing police. Her work helped bring violence against women out of the shadows and forced policymakers to confront the issue. In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act, increasing penalties against offenders and helping train police to treat it as a serious crime. Thanks to Ferrato, a private tragedy became a public cause.

The image was taken to prove that there was creature that we know nothing about in those waters. Conspiracy theories are something that have always interested, hearing the ideas of others over things that aren't normal.

North Korea, a country that is pretty closed off, finally opened up a window of opportunity to some people and made a 3G connection for foreigners to use, allowing the photographer to upload images of North Korea to the internet. Foreign countries amaze me, peak my interest,especially Asian countries. The culture they practice always amaze me so images like these amaze me and make me excited.

David Guttenfelder was chief photographer in Asia for the Associated Press when it became the first international news organization to open a bureau in North Korea. He started making frequent trips to the country, which had been largely off-limits to foreign journalists and virtually hidden from public view for nearly 60 years. Guttenfelder dutifully chronicled the official events and stage-managed pageants in Pyongyang, but his eye kept wandering to the scenes of daily life just beyond the guided tours. In early 2013, North Korea made a 3G connection available to foreigners, and suddenly Guttenfelder had the ability to share those glimpses with the world in real time. On January 18, 2013, he used his iPhone to post one of the first images to Instagram from inside the notoriously secretive country. "The window [into] North Korea has opened another crack," he wrote on his widely followed account. "Meanwhile, for Koreans here who will not have access to the same service, the window remains shut." By using the emerging technology of the sharing age, Guttenfelder opened one of the world's most closed societies. He also inspired other visiting foreigners to do the same, creating a portrait of the monotony of everyday life not visible in mainstream coverage of the totalitarian state and bringing the outside world its clearest picture yet of North Korea.

These men, colored men were trying to prove a message saying America should treat everyone equally, no prejudice should be made. Like I've stated before, equality is one of my main focuses in life, for of course personal reasons being a part of it but it was something I always believed in as a kid, despite the way I was raised growing up.
