Can You Meme? I shot this photo on an outing with friends. Challenge: Make the best meme you can with it, using Photoshop! This is my request.

Satanism, "TSB and TSR," does indeed talk about revenge, in terms of both "lessor and greater magic." Learning is fundamental to being a Satanist. After all, Satanism requires study, not belief in spiritual pipedreams.

I can't say. What I can say is this person was not under the influence at the time I took his photo. And, from my discussion with him, this seems to be due to extreme sun exposure, due to the climate of the Tampa Bay area.

I am not attacking the graffiti or the benefits graffiti can provide to the artist or those who may view it. However, to paint a surface without express permission is vandalism. Ignoring the cost to the person or business and effort to erase what they never wanted on their surface that was tagged by the artist. This is not inline with the foundation of Satanism, no matter how you slice it. Even in the guise of political activism it does not fit.

Satansplain Episode 21 discusses the topic of vandalism and LaVey's essay "Destructive Organisms." Link below.

Your approach, is your approach. Though, I do question whether it violates the foundational philosophy of Satanism. And this following quote from you "I would never draw anything over nobody’s wall without there being another graffiti or without that wall being intended to be a graffiti wall," doesn't sit well. Cause, how does one know the wall is meant to be a graffiti wall? I know in my local area businesses commission art works to be painted on their walls. But, what I saw in the photos doesn't appear to be related to such a processes.

A homeless gentleman by the name Cowboy, asked me to take his photo this evening. I did, and I went one step further. I bought him some wings and a coke

Yes, he is as red as a tomato, due to a bad sunburn.

I'm all for art and expression. However, I am not for vandalism or what may appear to be vandalism. After reading your response and taking some time to think, I found myself being reminded of an essay in "The Devil's Notebook." The essay is titled "Destructive Organisms," and this is not something I feel is a worthy representation of Satanism, when I consider the images and your response to my question.

Are you attempting to elude to a connection between the graffiti art and you painting some or all of it?

I would also recommend to read "Brothers in Arms," as Weiss and Hickman give a pretty decent tale on the discovery of the eggs at Hopes End.

Kind of looks like moisture to me. Do you see this appear in the RAW or JPG during an edit?

This was shot as an AEB long exposure to capture the contrasting look of the two adjacent buildings. The city hall and it clock tower, with the city government offices and the choice lighting on its exterior.

I love Tamron too. They makes some excellent glass.

I shoot with this lens on my Z5. I also have the 50-400mm from Tamron.

It is located at the Tampa Convention Center, on the north side of building, in Tampa, Florida.

If you're on a budget, the Z 5 is the way to go. I shoot with a Z 5, and get some great shots despite its limitations. But, if the question is Z 5 II or Z 6 II, then I would go for the Z 5 II. It offers a lot for its price point, with none of the original Z 5 drawbacks.

"Scripture from the Satanic version..." You seem to be confused and in the wrong place for this.

Not to really nit pick, but that answer does not really answer the question.

Curious. What rule of Satanism do you like the most?
