Photographer is censored by Facebook

See 'The Making Of' this 2010 photo

ALGECIRAS Mariano Vargas Castaño is in constant evolution, according to Europa Sur. He started out years ago with an analog camera but has taken the digital age to heart. His photos are interesting, provocative, sometimes erotic, and nowadays censored. He has made the fact public through the same Facebook page where he publishes much of his work - and where some of his work has been removed. But he says he's not really bothered, though he does mention - not just in passing - the double standard used by that social network where images of death and destruction are all too frequent; yet Facebook says that many of his photos do not meet its policies. The fact is that Mariano Vargas is a well-known artist whose work is sold via the prestigious Imaginart gallery in Barcelona, and which has been exhibited in Hong Kong, South Korea, Paris, soon in Venezuela and Colombia, on to Miami and next year, to London and New York.>>>

Something smells very, very rotten in the Campo de Gibraltar

CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR
The programme on air pollution in the Campo de Gibraltar that we announced on Monday (two items down) was supposed to be broadcast on Monday was substituted by an old one after the state-owned television station received a phone call from CEPSA, the company that owns the refinery that is considered to be the main pollutant (photo). A report on periodismohumano, an 'alternative media', gives the full story, which we have translated/summarized below. There is definitely something very smelly goping on. See for yourself:>
