Old Frame New Frame

As I made several trips to 18th & Columbia Rd NW, Washington DC("District of Columbia", the US Capital city), I always parked near an unoccupied old theatre. I determined to use its two movie publicity poster frames in a future photo shoot to symbolize Old Frame and New Frame. I wondered if I might photograph a girl now twenty-two years old whom I had photographed when she was two, and use the old frame new frame symbolism to say something about her life context inside and out including who she was and is and how her life would all be in a new perceptual/contextual frame now.

The last time I took my camera past that theatre a man asked me if I would take some pictures of him and the building so that he could use my images in support of his advocacy for people-oriented use or interim use of the unoccupied building. He mentioned sheltering the homeless, and that would be like his uncle who hosted undesirables of Harare on his farm and possibly due to that involving private ownership and voluntary charity, that noble act was rewarded by the marxist Mugabe by eviction of the homeless and then confiscation of the farm. Similarly Sithole had been elected the leader of ZANU and Mugabe had usurped there too as if by the same convenient idealogical claim to divine right of historical determinism. Just as I had my camera and tripod, Masipula "Masi" Sithole, Jr.(1) (2), was prepared, too, having brought along a flute and kalimba and photocopied materials referencing works by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and an uncle who was an elected leader of Zimbabwe("Rhodesia", "Matabeleland") who was undemocratically replaced/usurped by Robert Mugabe,"There were no elections conducted during 1975. Mugabe usurped power while in Mozambique. Ndabaningi and Rothert[sic, Robert] never stood on the same platform to be elected as leaders of ZANU. The only Congress that elected leaders for ZANU was held in 1964 at Gwelo where Ndabaningi Sithole was elected president and he (Sithole) appointed Mugabe his secretary general -Vesta Sithole, widow of Ndabaningi Sithole".

According to US former president Bill Clinton's former history professor at University of Georgetown, Carroll Quigley, speaking in his book Tragedy and Hope, Cecil Rhodes(Clinton studied on a Rhodes scholarship but did not complete that course) and Milner's Kindergarden, inner circle to the Rhodes Roundtable organization(RTO), Chatham House, Royal Institute of International Affairs(RIIA), and Chatham House editor Lionel Curtis' US RTO the Council on Foreign Relations(CFR), aka 400 year English slave trading monopoly responsible for the 400 year Irish genocide, aka Anglo-Dutch-Venetian financial empire(Rothschild and Rockefeller are New Money therein!), as Rhodes org tried to genocide the Matabele tribe for the sake of minerals that turned out not to be there. That occured a little over a hundred years ago and according to Quigley the Rhodes people were tarred in the British press for the Matabele massacre and for deliberating starting the Boer War where the Brits developed the concentration camp paradigm imitated by the German nazis in WW2. The concentration camp paradigm was a further descent from General Sherman's march to the sea in the US Civil War, adding de-population to Sherman's primitive scorched earth pacification program which he also used on the "indians(US indigenous)" after the US civil war ended in 1865. The Germans also conducted a genocidal de-population program in Namibia using Germans whose names appear at the top of the WW2 nazi war criminal list for their roles in similar strategies which by degrees come to be nominally regarded as population control, pacification, ethnic cleansing, or outright genocidal programs. The term Final Solution was also only borrowed by Hitler from Canadian Christian missionary terminology for their genocide against Canadian indigenous people("indians") by use of tuberculosis at forced boarding schools akin to concentration camps, with TB there corresponding to US smallpox blankets for US indigenous("indians").
