So I ended up not using the photos on my contact sheet because when I tried editing them, they didn't turn out looking much different/better than the original. The things I noticed about my community is that there is a calming vibe about it. It is very gloomy, yet at the same time very soothing. I chose these two (new) images because I liked the way how I edited them to change the vibe that they were portraying. For my first photo, I changed the tone a little bit to a much more warm/ autumn tone. For the second photo, I thought that the original looked very bland, as if there wasn't enough contrast. The ethical choices I had to make was to make sure that I don't edit the photo too much to remove from the original ethics of the photo.
Parts of the interior of Oman are very hilly, the highest peak is around 2000 metres. Many communities have traditionally lived in this hilly terrain and recently the traditional villages have been abandoned and people have resettled into modern houses with all facilities. This is a typical view of the countryside and the villages.
CFR-ing again today!!
Out and about in Sheffield in my little Ford Fiesta with all my CFR-ing bits and pieces.
Also made time for a mid morning Starbucks stop! Nice!!
I am a Community First Responder for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around Sheffield.
It's a volunteer role not paid like when I was a Paramedic with YAS 18 months ago..
Have you thought about this sort of role?
You do not need any medical background at all!!

A large gated community in Plano, Texas near Dallas. And this is about as close as you can get to it.

The houses at Runswick cling to the rocks much like the marine life below. Sadly this picturesque village is now home to just seven people, everything else is either a second home or holiday let.
We stopped to visit this village not far from the Tad Lo waterfalls. My local guide told me that this was the Lae minority and identified the village as Khien Khong, neither of which I have been able to find any confirmation of. I believe these were either Laven or Nge / Nge-Trieng ethnic groups and indeed the community house / spirit house is in a picture on a webseite identifying the location as an anonymous Nge village here: asianitinerary.com/bolaven-plateau-discovery-tour/
They're building a new, huge hospital and will merge the Old City Hospital (called Community for years now) and Mercy Hospital together. Don't know how that will work, but I guess we'll see....
During February 2014 Reading Buses took delivery of five 'door-forward' versions (numbered 161-165) to increase capacity on routes 19/19a, 27/29 and the Community Link routes 18/28/28a. 162 is the dedicated vehicle for the latter and is seen in Forbury Road during the evening peak of Friday 21st march; although in 'generic' livery it has been given vinyls for its chosen role.

I feel very privileged to live where I live. Our community share common goals and have meetings to meet those desired goals. Like all groups, there are times when agreement is not always met.
Inspired to take more people shots, but with a twist - environmental portraits - I decided to document the people of our neighborhood, which is a beautiful rural area. This series will be titled, PONS, People on North Shore as we live on the north shore of a lake. Visit us here at PONS.
Since taking up full-frame photography, I have found the Canon 35mm F2.0 IS USM to be a great all purpose lens. View other shots taken with this lens here.

DEMENTIA TABLEAU

An overstuffed armchair and shower stool/ottoman might offer respite for our dementia or Alzheimer’s sufferer or caretaker. But this seat is ripped open with springs exposed; stuffed with clock and watch parts. Colorful fabric printed with jumbled female clothing— floating nighties, robes, socks —covers this chair, while the cushion on the floor is tethered loosely to the leg by a coiled rope. For, this “seat cushion is also a floatation device.”
Life-sized printed photographs of the same clothing covering the chair are encapsulated in acrylic, like specimens in a medical museum. Hovering directly on the wall are shredded garments and kept mementos crocheted into traditional ‘granny squares.’ This is literally and figuratively a fragmented history – the patchwork of an individual mind, a lost generation of craft. Similarly, an uplifted life preserver is offered to keep the patient or caretaker from drowning in dissolving memories, but alas, it is bound and laden with the detritus of the everyday.
While Alzheimer’s is a degenerative neurological disease, multi-infarct dementia (MID) is a vascular disorder that can result from depression, chronic drug use, and infections such as HIV; and can cause multiple strokes. Rates of Alzheimer's may be rising due to a growing aging population, but other major contributing factors remain a mystery.
What is clear is that women are at the center of this epidemic. A recent study jointly commissioned by the American Alzheimer’s Association and Maria Shriver‘s A Woman’s Nation found that 2/3 of all Alzheimer’s patients are female. This is only part of the story, as most of the 43.5 million Americans providing unpaid care for their relatives are also women.
A small tableau element represents hope for a cure, however. Rather than initials, the embroidered monogram on the slippers, “BACE, ” stands for beta secretase enzymes, contributors to the production of the plaques that cause nerve damage in Alzheimer’s. Experimental drugs to block this enzyme (BACE inhibitors) could slow or stop the disease – exciting research that may result in longer, more productive and happy lives.
