I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Caught in the Crossfire
E. Jason Wambsgans
Chicago Tribune
Oct. 14, 2016 Chicago
2016 was Chicago's deadliest year in nearly two decades. Nightly shootings in the city's poorest neighborhoods sent the murder rate soaring. Dozens of victims were children: innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Tavon Tanner, 10, was gazing at the moon from his family's porch when a bullet ripped through his body, tearing into his pancreas, stomach, spleen, a kidney and his left lung before lodging below his shoulder. His sister screamed, "Twin, don't leave me."
Chicago Tribune photographer Jason Wambsgans was with the family as Tavon recovered and had surgery to remove the bullet. Tavon has nightmares and a permanent risk of infection. His mother left her job to care for him. Months later, his shooter remained unknown.
The first time he met Tavon, Wambsgans asked the boy to show him his scar. Tavon lifted his shirt. "I shot two frames and I looked at the back of my camera and a shock went through me," said Wambsgans. "I turned the camera off and thanked him. I knew it was more than enough to tell the story."

Philippine Drug War
Daniel Berehulak
Freeland
Oct. 9, 2016, the Philippines
President Rodrigo Duterte rose to power in the Philippines in 2016 on a promise to kill 100,000 criminals and dump their bodies in Manila Bay to "fatten all the fish there." In the months that followed, thousands of people, including innocent victims, were gunned down in the streets by police and armed vigilantes.
Freelance photographer Daniel Berehulak covered the story for The New York Times. Over 35 days, he photographed 57 murder victims in Manila, the capital. Berehulak's photos exposed the gruesome realities of the government's war on drugs: bodies lying on trash heaps, stacked like firewood in a morgue or with their heads wrapped in packing tape alongside cardboard signs labeling them drug addicts or dealers. "They are slaughtering us like animals," a bystander said.
At one man's wake, his 6-hear-old daughter screamed "Papa" as his coffin was removed. "These aren't bodies," said Berehulak. "These are family members, these are husbands, these are fathers. What I was trying to do was to give these people a face and a name."

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
