During a power failure, I was walking all the way up Toronto's Yonge Street from Dundas to Davisville.

I was taking a photo of a gas station attendant selling drinks and ice cream from a freezer in front of the station. The attendant didn't like that, and came running out to stop me. This is the photo I wound up with.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.

—Karl Marx
