The Danbury Redemption
The long arm of the law finally catches up with the contemptuous Steve Bammon as the US Supreme Court swats him away to enjoy a four-month all-inclusive staycation in lovely Danbury, Connecticut. Little does our self-proclaimed political prisoner know about the lessons he will encounter on his 45th evening of confinement.

Regarding his pathway to this point, Trumbo offered some insight.
"It was actually a bit of a segue, beginning to create original music and accompanying videos, and eventually dramatic shorts. After all, the band folded during the pandemic. While my base motivation may have been to simply maintain some creative outlet, one must first have something to say before bringing pen to paper, lens to CCD. My passions for the environment and social justice therein found an outlet. This collided with my professional background in photography and more recent efforts in music and production. And having worked, studied, and taught in journalism for some 25 years left me a hopeless news addict. So, to quote Chrissie Hynde:
"The phone, the TV and the news of the world got in the house like a pigeon from hell"
Stay tuned, more to come . . .
I had a notion for this quite some time ago, and it sat by patiently as I watched the rusty unlubricated gears of justice slowly grind away. Until at long last. Honestly, I couldn't help myself on this one. Of course, any semblance to individuals living, dead, or otherwise is . . . purely coincidental.
