Thomas Hawk is a photographer and blogger in the SF Bay Area writing under the pen name Thomas Hawk. Professionally Thomas Hawk is an investment advisor in a non-technology related field and uses his pen name to separate his investment career and identity from his thoughts and opinions on new media and technology, both fields which neither he nor his firm advise or offer services for professionally. Additionally, Thomas Hawk is Evangelist and CEO for the photo sharing Site Zooomr. My statement as an artist is to outdo New York’s Little Angel Angelo Rizzuto, who between 1952 and 1966 documented New York City with over 60,000 photos. We all have but a short time on this earth. As slow as time can be it is also fast, swift, furious and mighty and then it’s over. Angelo Rizzuto is dead, Jack Kerouac is dead. John Lennon is dead. Andy Warhol is dead. Garry Winogrand is dead. Lee Friedlander isn't dead yet, but he probably will be at some point. When I'm not taking or processing pictures I'm mostly thinking about pictures. I'm trying to publish a library of 1,000,000 finished, processed photographs before I die. You can reach me at tom(at)thomashawk.com.

Indeed.
"borrowed from the Daily Mail" - ooh they're not going to like you Mr Hawk - you do know you are dealing with one of the worst of the British papers (and that's saying something)? Great picture though.
(What is it with blogger comments btw? They really are rubbish - the captcha never works properly and now ... on never mind - sorry for ending up anonymous - name is Patrick Dodds but I can't be bothered with the 76 hour long process of getting signed in, recognised, matched password dah dah dah)
This could mean China too. CCTV is China Central Television, the main propaganda arm of China.
@草示儿:
Given that the Daily Mail is a British paper and Banksy is London-based, I don't think he's protesting a policy in China, but I could be wrong.
the cop looks american.
