This collection of 200+ portraits of pierced, tattooed, and heavily
body-modified people is a celebration by photographer Efrain John
Gonzalez. In this colorful volume Gonzalez, as an artist, captures
both the spirit of the many individuals and the rich uniqueness of
their fantastic tattoos, piercings, brandings, cuttings, subdermal
implants, and radical transformations. Many of the images of this
great tattoo art and extreme individuals were photographed during
the past decade during the New York City Tattoo Convention at the
Roseland Ballroom. Gonzalez has a reputation as one of America's
most prolific fetish documentarians, and he has traveled America to
make images of people stretching their limits... and their skin.
Much of his work was taken live at the moment it happened, and in
places that aren't accessible for most people. Gonzalez seeks out
truth in people and in this volume he shares it with the reader in
a collection quite unlike anything else.
John Gonzalez is a South Kingstown, Rhode Island resident of Ta'no
descent, whose ceremonial name, Kanipawit Maskwa (Standing Bear),
was given to him during the final days of the Standing Rock
occupation in North Dakota, where over 500 Tribal Nations and their
allies prayerfully came together and stood against a militarized
corporation. A water protector who spent three months on the front
lines, John worked with leadership to help evacuees and those who
remained during the worst blizzard in North Dakota history, as well
as prayerfully engaging in nonviolent direct action against DAPL.
In this dissertation we prove local existence and uniqueness of
solutions of the focusing modified Korteweg - de Vries equation u_t
+ u2u_x + u_{xxx} = 0 in classes of unbounded functions that admit
an asymptotic expansion at infinity in decreasing powers of $x$. We
show that an asymptotic solution differs from a genuine solution by
a smooth function that is of Schwartz class with respect to $x$ and
that solves a generalized version of the focusing mKdV equation.
The latter equation is solved by discretization methods. The text
is written for researchers of partial differential equations but
all proofs are given with full details and the text should be
accessible to graduate students of mathematics.
