make ends meet in the tech boom.<br />

Francisco - When the maintenance man's key broke in their three bedroom
apartment door, the landlord demanded that they produce the original tenant, who was cited on a over 10 year-old lease in order to receive a new key to

They went to the San Francisco Tenants Union for help and even though Josh and Gina
won their rent board appeal the rental agency that operates the building raised the rent from $900 to $4000 per month. Unable to
afford the rental increase in addition to
the cost of taking their landlord to court, to produce the receipts of
payment, Josh and Gina where forced to move into her parents home in San Jose. </span></span><span id="mn_Global"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On July 13, 2013, a Floridian jury declared that George Zimmerman was not guilty of second-degree murder and of manslaughter charges in the shooting death of an unarmed, black teenager, Trayvon Martin upholding the state's stand your ground law.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the only frame I have shot of the protests that followed for several days here in Oakland and it has taken me sometime to post this image which was shot last Monday due to circumstances that were out of my control and the emotional impact of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story is as follows: Shortly after taking this photograph I was mugged with two other of my fellow photographers by six people along Lakeshore Avenue on the east side of Lake Merritt here in Oakland. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we walked along the east side of the lake, ironically we were discussing the horrific amount of violence we have been witness to as residents of Oakland, when we passed a group of six young men all in their early twenties. All three of us continued our conversation and as we approached the corner of Wayne and Lakeshore Avenues, two of the young men stepped directly in front of me and blocked the sidewalk. This is when it clicked. I have been mugged before. I knew it. We were all going to be mugged. "RUN" I yelled and tried to scramble up into the bushes and out of reach, but I slipped and by the time I regained my balance one of the young men was standing over me. " Give me your camera. Give me your camera " he yelled. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"NO"! I yelled back it is at this point I remember that I have pepper spray in my pocket. (purchased after my previous mugging ) I tried to reason with my assailant. "Come on we're nice people. We just came from the Trayvon protest. You don't want to do this" I said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Well then give me your phone" he said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All this mind you, happened in a matter of minutes, but it felt like an eternity. As I fished around in my pocket for the pepper spray I told myself. "Colleen just don't drop it. Don't drop the pepper spray. You can do this"! I pulled the small black canister out of my pocket and aimed it at the mugger and was filled with an incredible amount of angry and my fear towards this man who was trying to steal my camera began to disappear. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"She's got pepper spray" he yelled. All six of the men ran. We gave chase. I don't know why. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But we chased them for over a quarter mile. They ditched my friend bike they had taken and hopped into a car. We lost them, but not before a random stranger took down their license plate and helped us call the police. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was able to keep my equipment but my friends lost a Nikon film camera, several lenses, filters, money, house keys, drivers license, a backpack with unopened birthday cards and a mac book pro in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh yeah and we all lost our sense of being safe in our own community. </span>I know, we all know it <span style="font-size: large;">IS </span>not safe to walk around Oakland by yourself at night but now I can <span style="font-size: large;">not even feel safe in a group</span> of people.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Oakland, Oakland, Oakland. Where to begin with the issues that plague Oakland? In fact I was surprised that Oakland even had the police available to respond in the first place. </span>Tell me again about how we live in a post-racial America that doesn't practice class warfare on the poorest of its citizens, please.</span></span></div>

I live in Oakland to be
more precise West Oakland in a neighborhood informally called Lower
Bottoms or The Bottoms.The area was originally part of Oakland Point.
It's a residential area made up of Victorian homes just a ten minute
BART ride from flourishing San Francisco. The neighborhood earned its
nickname after the construction of the Cypress Freeway in the 1950s that
split the West Oakland neighborhood in two and isolated The Bottoms and
Campbell Village Court from the remainder of West Oakland. The Cypress
Freeway fell in the 1989 earthquake. Making the neighborhood boundaries
Mandela Parkway to the east, 7th Street
to the south, West Grand Avenue to the north, and the former Oakland Army Base to the west.<span style="font-size: small;"> This is a ongo<span style="font-size: small;">ing <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">documentary</span> project. <span style="font-size: small;">Check back for more upda<span style="font-size: small;">tes.</span></span> </span></span></span></h4>

It has always amazed & inspired me creatively. Friday night the Deyoung Museum hosted a retrospective fashion show of Peaches Christ, Mrs. Vera, & Mr.David's collections as part of the Jean Paul Gaultier. Thanks for the inspiration once more.</p><br /><br /><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYfX1UaNjCNtIDEUVBS0uJbjDn0lReGrg3JdQUdTennXZ2GHPd9MNJpTCL9yqB8lt-nBAQRbH0DKmtYNsK42p3CDrAScK8Lm9EcXfRnvWHKtJgKhepUhZdLL4dhHDy_LFz7MNPf2rVco/' /><br /><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvampytHVDME_l7xko1-RA8foC0_F18ChIDV3h8H6RCMMhhd2TOr9VFOUfXfrTwD0SqmekjryY8MP-WLe8HkVkfObtOWYNH77ZPjrR4EoC3wT-JYlMwsV-O0S5g_oTXVfmdqBQHk30yJM/' /><br /><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjogSxufR0IzaYe1iBhMwIaazC0ZFvCjB82AdHjwgxFAIhrWpETbFM2HKpXYEjeKSbwzI5j35Z7KFeE9djYraWeMAekYguqSDEJoFzu3crYrCSMC3GjEwRy5998f9Om8UhzRQfUZAdj8dA/' /><br /><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPGc0NqDmBrdHDn4Hei-g6ck3Y-_facgRAdea9rYY4y-3KmW52VGXh9aC3rs1MiGWmlNMQNzB_wDfx1qtOMrjyS2mwRXEJHiWmFho9gtqyjMFGcCL6fYczLPq8-bweMv9pgj7-7TxF0E/' /></div>Colleen Cumminshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15687627305921957421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172105269024701243.post-13097926289081459262012-02-04T19:32:00.001-08:002012-04-10T17:56:11.660-07:00If you want to achieve greatness stop asking for permission.<div><p>Snapped this Friday night at the oakland art murmur from Sausage's patio.</p>

<br />Been combing through old pics and came across these 2 frames from when I worked for the AD. Grief is a funny thing which at first seems like it will never stop being painful and the truth is that it never really does. It just somehow becomes more dull over time. I still can feel these folks pain and when I look at these and I hope at least it has dulled somewhat now for them. The first frame is of Norm Sanders, left, who lost his stepson Jack Martin when he was brutally murdered along with his wife Susan Martin in their home in Sutter in July 2010. The second frame is Debbie Campbell, left,is comforted by Kelly Schumacher while friends erect a 9-foot cross at the intersection of Highway 20 and Acacia Avenue in memory of her boyfriend Paul John Hendrickson on Friday, Oct. 22, 2010. Debbie Campbell was injured in the fatal motorcycle accident that killed Hendrickson in May 2010.
