Rory Coyne: Myth and allegory

Dogma is dangerous but our myths are the tattered parts of the world’s ragged collective ego or as Rory Coyne puts it:

Why Myth? Because it connects us to the world and one another. It negates our differences and embraces what we actually are, human beings. We all descend from tribes and have comparable origins, and as the same species, have similar reactions to our surroundings.

There are very few people actively try to make myths in the world and fewer making the real in imagery but Rory Coyne has done this effectively.

The SF Giant Riot

Back in 2010 after the Giants won the World Series the fans lost their minds and caused enough damage to make basketball of Los Angeles feel like they had let the Lakers down some years before when they caused millions of dollars in damage after the NBA championship.

A child of Los Angles transplanted into San Francisco, Raun Harris knew where to stand and how to avoid the eye of drunks who had never thrown a baseball over base or used bat for anything else but a weapon. He got these shots creeping past the nervous SFPD while the city burned and dumb folk burned their own city after a game was played.
