I love this one although the middle one from the OP is my favorite.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Maybe it's the same girl.DesertFly wrote: Also, who is that in your av, Bertie? Looks like a girl I tried to date once (before learning she had a boyfriend.)
It's a cropped photograph of porn-star Jenna Jameson done by renowned photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. It's from his book XXX 30 Porn-Star Portraits. link

It is. No, it honestly, seriously is. Szechuan has some exceptional sights if you drive up to the mountains. Plus I remember seeing much the same thing as the last pic in Vietnam too and it was jaw dropping. There's of course a large amount of photographic tricky in those photos but it captures the essence of it very well - I'll post some normal, unedited photos should I ever finish this essay.
The photographer who took those is a fucking artist with both his camera and in postproduction.
No matter how much I try (and digicams are great to practice with) I can't seem to get it down.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
