Make Room! Make Room!

“The Year: 2022. The Place: New York City. The Population: 40,000,000”.

“Ocean’s dying, plankton’s dying… it’s people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They’re making our food out of people. Next thing they’ll be breeding us like cattle for food. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!”

Quote from the 1973 movie Soylent Green. Sorry for the spoiler but if you haven’t seen this film yet, chances are you never will.

The film, which is closely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison, won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973.

I have no idea what type of product this particular plant produces but, out in the middle of the desert NE of Las Vegas would be the perfect place to process humans for food when the time comes!

And with that thought, please stop by and visit my personal blog, Photos By Emilio, if you get hungry!

Windows and Shadows

Windows and shadows on the exterior corner of a house

Driving to town to run some errands, I spied the afternoon light falling on the lovely lines of this house. I just had to pull over. Photography – always an adventure!

Mandalay

Mandalay

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin’ lazy at the sea,

There’s a Burma girl a-settin’, and I know she thinks o’ me;

For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the Temple-bells they say:

“Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!”

Dogs and Beds

Dogs & Beds, two things that fit perfectly together, they love it warm and soft.
Like dogs and “Supermarket paper bags”, there is always something interesting inside.  I came home yesterday from the supermarket, where I bought some “human food” for “me”, I left the paper bag on the stairs just to open the door and did not look at it for  two seconds, the dogs around me, when I turned to pick up the bag, the dogs were gone and a packet of Frankfurter sausages was also gone … Opportunity makes thieves !
