One option is a decent well printed calendar with 12 images from the ‘Dark Side Of The Moor™️’
Bags of dead dogs flung over a wall.
Deer beheaded with something blunt and left headless in a copse.
Gazebo gang and the pissed up dickhead creeping up on us from behind carrying an axe.
The dwarf that got rolled downslope towards Burbage Brook by his ‘mates’
The ‘Christmas Card’ image of pissing and vaping at Lady Cannings
The two men from Stoke imploring us to ‘leave them alone and we won’t even know they were here in the morning’ as the moor near Packhorse Bridge burnt due to their little camp fire.
The lifesize rubber sex doll
The shenanigans on the roof of a 4×4 before heading off to Houndkirk to cause deliberate damage to the margins of the SSSI.
The list goes on and on …
It probably won’t be the best selling calendar of the year tbh. Each photograph will have a few sentences for context. Maybe a film quote. Whatever.
If i don’t do the calendar (or maybe as well as ?) i’d like to hang a few dozen b&w photos in a gallery and talk through them one night. Cups of strong tea in enamel mugs with Tunnocks™️ will be served.
Anyone know any gallery owners.
Why bother ?
Because those in charge of state funded resources to sort out the human↔️nature interface are struggling with ever diminishing funding. Rendered ineffective by cuts.
Because those in membership funded organisations involved in sorting out the human↔️nature interface are wedded to solutions that swell their coffers further whilst retreating further and further from their responsibilities.
And behind the lovely photoshopped images of rolling moors of purple heather the *actual* situation is that the issues grow on a weekly basis whilst the resources, appetite and interest in doing anything about them falls off a cliff.
It’s a fucking mess.
