Seeking Self-Awareness
Job 7:17; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 2 Peter 1:3
Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. You shall love the Lord your God; but you shall not know yourself.

Just trying new things.
Taking advantage of some natural light. Sunny in Oregon today.
By total accident I lined the heel up with the edge of the chair perfectly. heh.
Really should have shot this again.
Random fact: These red shoes are my wedding shoes.
Yes, I'm aware that is odd. :) and no, I didn't wear the socks.
I think for the average person the idea of becoming a transsexual is absurd and alost surreal. But for those of us with certain female genes in our body the seeds are always there and even though we start life very much being like everyone else self-awareness or something that happens to us triggers it off. I wasn't unhappy as Christopher but as far as life was concerned I felt a bit like an under-achiever and socially a bit of a square peg in a round hole as things rarely went smoothly and I felt a bit of a leper as people of both sexes couldn't quite know what to make of me. Now everything is out in the open and because people can see the real me they not only mostly don't mind they accept me for what I am and I seem to have so many friends in the town as everyone seems happy to know me. Without having to make a commitment most see no problem after all they don't have to look very far to find bad people who harm themselves and others and yes we might be a sign of lack of control and decadence but why shouldn't we just make the best of it because nobody really listens or cares any more because I'm afraid whichever way you look at it literally our world is fucked. I think despite the warnings global warming can't be stopped as the global economy is a big unstoppable machine whose whole purpose is to create commerce and wealth and if we put more people on the planet it is seen as something good because it creates business but that discounts the harm it does too. Well at least being a trans girl means I won't inflate the population but we need a system based on measurable sustainability. Oh dear I suppose you have not got this far as obviously Jojo is a bit dotty.....

A new awareness campaign was launched at Manchester Airort today as part of an annual operation aimed at tackling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Officers from GMP and Border Force will be joined by charities and partners from today, Thursday 21st July, until Monday 25th July in the departures area of Manchester Airport for Operation Limelight.
Over the next few days they will be speaking to holiday makers and other visitors to the airport and also showcasing new artwork that will be used throughout the year to signpost victims and those who wish to report concerns about FGM.
GMP and Border Force will then carry out the same operation in arrivals from Tuesday 30th August to Friday 2nd September.
This is the third year of Operation Limelight, with hundreds of families given advice on FGM and other crimes over the past two years. This year’s posters are aimed at adults and children who are travelling through the airport to encourage them to report concerns.
Detective Inspector Nathan Percival from GMP said: “This operation targets busy times in an airport with flights to key destinations for these illegal practices. The summer holidays are a prime time for parents to take young girls abroad to have this abhorrent procedure carried out.
“By working with Border Force and partner agencies we want to educate people passing through the airport on what to look out for and how they can help potential victims of FGM but also to send a clear message to anyone inflicting this procedure on their child or carrying it out themselves – this crime carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison and we will do everything that we can to keep children safe from this type of harm.”
Minister for Vulnerability, Safeguarding and Countering Extremism Sarah Newton said: “FGM is a crime and it is child abuse. We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls.
“The summer holidays are a time when girls may be most at risk of being taken abroad to undergo FGM, and hundreds of Border Force officials at UK ports and airports are trained to look for potential victims and perpetrators. I highly commend the work of Greater Manchester Police, Border Force and the charities and organisations involved at Manchester airport to keep these girls safe.
"The UK is now a world leader in tackling FGM, and we have significantly strengthened the law. But too many people are still living in silence. We know that changing attitudes within communities is key to ending FGM, and we will continue to work with community organisations and survivors to help drive progress.”
Operation Limelight began just after GMP issued its first FGM protection order last July. Since then the Force has issued five orders in total, protecting people from the illegal procedure.
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “Female genital mutilation is child abuse. We all have a responsibility to protect our children and put a stop to this horrendous and criminal practice. We’ve been doing a lot of work across Greater Manchester, bringing police, councils, health, education and voluntary organisations together to raise awareness of female genital mutilation, educate communities and encourage people to speak out. This operation is part of this positive work and I hope it sends a strong message to victims that they don’t have to suffer in silence – help is available.”
FGM involves the partial or total removal of the external genitalia or injury to the female genital organs whether for cultural or any other non-therapeutic reasons. It is prevalent in countries in mid and northern Africa and parts of Asia. It is allegedly carried out to safeguard a young woman's virginity and her family's honour, and can involve a festival or celebration as part of the ceremony.
Passengers are reassured that although incidents do not happen on a daily occurrence, the summer holidays call for extra vigilance as parents often use this period as an opportunity to take young girls abroad.

Weathered and cracked numbers painted on the wall of an old San Francisco hotel.
Photographs like this one have, at least for me, several purposes or rationales. To some extent, walking into a regular city environment and looking for little visual odds and ends is an important exercise in visual awareness. It is so easy to walk through such places and not pay a lot of attention, and when you do so while searching for images you see things that you'd otherwise miss. It is also interesting, I think, to "excerpt" small things from their larger context. (This bit of signage, is small enough that you might barely notice it if you took in the whole building at once.) With this one there is also a bit of that odd characteristic of some photographs, where their age — or the age of the subject — becomes somewhat interesting on its own.
So, what is it? It is a bit of a hand-painted street number sign on a very old (and somewhat iconic) building on a street in San Francisco that I often walk on these street photography visits. What else is it? It is color and form, abstracted to some extent from its original context. But not entirely abstracted, since if you look closely you might notice the extremely weathered and cracked paint and you might wonder about the history of this little bit of a sign, especially in an era when one-of-a-kind hand-painted signage is increasingly replaced by industrial signage.

On April 1, 2017, Reconciliation Pole was raised on the UBC campus. The 55-fot cedar pole describes the times before, during and after the Residential School era in Canada -- a horrifying part of our history. The artist that designed the pole and led the team of carvers is Haida Master Carver 7idansuu (pronounced Edenshaw), also know as James Hart. He is also a hereditary chief. Reconciliation pole is a beautiful and heartbreaking work of art. The pole has thousands of copper nails in it, one to represent each first nations child that died in residential schools across Canada.

This is the last of the three self portraits from the abandoned Nike Missile Base. This is an underground bunker where Kilroy tells me they kept the tactical missiles. They're no longer here, of course.
Luckily the hatch was open, allowing me to explore all the odd and crusty artifacts. If you view this shot large, you can see a typewriter just over my left shoulder. A few minutes earlier, I had moved it in an attempt to do a portrait focusing on that typewriter. I felt much less comfortable with that plan when moving the typewriter, a field mouse nonchalantly crawled out of the keys, stared at me, and sauntered off.
This is a photo that i shot in January of 2010. I took this into Photoshop CS5 and healed out the power lines. I really just re-uploaded this to help demonstrate the power of CS5's Content Aware feature. As you can see, it is almost perfect compared to the original. There are some differences, but nothing noticeable. With the right size brush and a steady hand, you can heal out almost anything.

AWARENESS (The quality or state of being aware (having or showing realization, perception, or knowledge )
Painted canvas
The conceptual, nonbinary designs of fashion collective threeASFOUR have placed Gabriel Asfour, Angela Donhauser, and Adi Gil at the forefront of American fashion’s avant-garde since their first collection in 1999. A collaboration with artist Stanley Casselman prompted the use of canvas as dress fabric in their autumn/winter 2019-20 collection, which included sculptural garments made of Casselman’s discarded paintings. The designers repurposed materials and recycled patterns from previous collections. The body of this topiary-shaped dress is an assemblage of the designer’s trademark circular forms.
