So, after a lovely break of ten days off over Christmas (which still went by way too quickly) here I am, back at my usual workspace in the studios on the 4th floor of New Broadcasting House. This is one of the desks I sit at every day when mixing programmes for Radio 4 and the World Service.

I like this shot of the Piazza Venezia right in the middle of Roma because it's symbolism of the current affair and the tension it evokes in me.

 

The EURO debt crisis is running out of hand and out of time. Major players in the EU like Italia and France are facing major debilitating financial difficulty, not to mention Greek that is crippled by problem of defaulting constantly.

 

Some where in our course of human civilization, some ideals that deemed to be more superior took root, and changed the way we assign value in the material world. Technology grows exponentially and left the development of human consciousness behind. In simple words, the world advances in an unprecedented speed, but humanity hasn't caught up yet.

 

The end result is that those who are in power to make the rules are the opportunists who take full advantage of the situation. Majority, if not most of the world population, are still in a state of perpetual confusion, disbelief, and distressed.

 

I don't have a solution, but I'm very worried and sad for the children, simple because they might inherit a catastrophic problem that cannot be solved. We might have passed that point of no return.

Enayat Fani, Current Affairs Editor & Presenter BBC Persian Television at BBC World Service--

The Lilliput Press was founded in 1984 by Antony Farrell in County Westmeath. Jonathan Swift spent his summers in a house nearby, and derived the name Lilliput from a local townland. The office was moved to its present locale in Arbour Hill, north Dublin, in 1989. Some 500 titles have appeared under its imprint; these encompass art and architecture, autobiography and memoir, biography and history, ecology and environmentalism, essays and literary criticism, philosophy, current affairs and popular culture, fiction, drama and poetry, all broadly focused on Irish themes.

Much before the Internet, the television and the radio, newspapers were the sole medium of news and current affairs. The world’s oldest newspaper dates back as far as 17th century London, England and it is still being published today. Nowadays, there are various newspapers covering various topics not least prominent news and current affairs tabloids. With this effect from PhotoFunia you can create your own newspaper cover page, with own title, headline and striking image on any subject of your choice. Choose your picture, your name and your headline, and you can be the celebrity on the front page of a prominent daily newspaper. Give it a go and impress your friends and family!

The Human Family

 

On my last visit to St Cross, I was drinking a cup of tea in the Hundred Men's Hall when I heard a voice asking if it was OK to sit on the same table as me. No problem, and a gentleman sat down with his cup of tea and a flapjack on a tray. We got into conversation and I discovered that he was one of the Brothers who live at the almshouses.

 

He introduced himself as Brother John and I introduced myself. I already knew that several of the brothers were called John, so I asked him how many at the moment and he told me he was one of seven. Obviously a name popular with parents of his generation. At any one time there are about 25 Brothers living at St. Cross. They are not monks as the almshouses are a secular organisation.

 

I asked Brother John if he would let me take his photo for my portrait project and he was happy with that, if a little surprised. I took two sets of photos: some when he was sitting at the table and a few more later on a wooden seat with a carved back rest. I chose one of the latter.

 

Brother John told me that he sold his family house and came to live at St Cross five years ago when his wife was being cared for in a home as she had Alzheimer's.

 

He told me about his varied career and described himself as a 'lifelong learner'. After completing his National Service in the navy, he worked as an assistant warden on Outward Bound in the peaks near Buxton teaching activities such as canoeing and rock climbing.

 

Much of his career has been spent in education: teaching religious education and geography in secondary school in the industrial part of Derbyshire; working in primary education as head of a village school in Berkshire; teaching the teachers in teacher training. He completed his doctorate later in life on the subject of administration in education from a historical perspective.

 

He and his wife lived for a time in Malaysia where he was employed by the MOD as a teacher to the children of personnel stationed there. His wife, also a teacher, ran a private school. He spoke fondly of the Cameron Highlands, a beautiful place.

 

In retirement Brother John worked with his brother who developed timing systems for events such as showjumping and marathons and this work took him abroad to Greece and to Barcelona.

 

He told me that he takes an interest in current affairs and likes the outdoor life, including gardening.

 

We also had a little chat about photography as Brother John used to have a Voigtländer 35 mm camera, but he has not ventured into digital.

 

Before we parted, he recalled a great family Christmas holiday in New Zealand a couple of years ago but was less than enthusiastic about the 20-hour-long flight home. I have his email to send him his photo.

If only they'd put their guns down and pick up cameras instead, and shoot children in the sunshine, not with bullets in the head.

  

If only they'd pick up their cameras and point them at the sky, take pictures of the sunsets, not mothers as they cry.

  

If only guns were cameras and the only shots you heard,

were shutter clicks and laughter, not people running scared.

  

If only they'd put their guns down, and pick up cameras instead, and shoot the worlds beauty and not ruin it, till it's dead.

The Origins of Kababayang Pilipino

by Mary Christine (Faron) Chan

 

kababayangpilipino.org/folk/site/company/the_origins/

 

(February 2003) - It was a decade ago last month when I first walked into Randy`s office at the UBC Student Union Building resolute in my purpose. I had just arrived from a whirlwind visit to the Philippines, the first in nearly 15 years. It had felt like a forced family junket when we departed for Manila in mid-December, along with other family friends - the Correas, the Romeros, the Mangalindans, and the Losanezs. But when the time to return to Vancouver came two weeks later, I felt torn leaving a family, a country, a culture I had known of all my life, but only then had discovered. Vancouver seemed dismal in the wet grey of winter, compelling me all the more to long for the warmth of the people and the climate of the Philippines. It was then that I realized how important my culture had become to me. How being Filipino was more than eating certain foods, laughing at certain jokes, or being brought up a certain way. Being Filipino is about expressing all of who I am as a Filipino Canadian in the face of a multicultural Canada, and proudly carrying the legacy of culture and heritage of the Filipino people that came before me - they who had made the sacrifices that brought me here today.

 

For this reason I was determined to make the meaning of that sacrifice relevant in the lives of those who had the blessing of a North American upbringing. Many of us, either born on Canadian soil or transplanted early from the homeland, had lacked the sensual first hand experience of the Philippine landscape and people. But we knew something about it through the dances we had learned at a young age. From the vigours of planting rice, to the coy traditions of courtship, to the religious rituals of a community, Filipino performing arts told the stories of the people and culture from which they were born. This was to become the medium through which we, as Filipino Canadians, would tell our collective story. And such was the proposal I made to Randy that afternoon, not knowing what would come of such a seemingly grand venture, but knowing only that our will was strong and our dedication unwavering.

 

Less than a month later, a group of 40 friends and acquaintances gathered in the living room of my parents` home in a cheery cul-de-sac. The meeting had a sole purpose: to propose the production of a community performance celebrating the music, dance, and song of our Filipino heritage. Upon sharing our common experiences growing up in the Filipino culture, it became clear that we were not alone in searching for that tangible expression of ourselves. The response was overwhelming and infectious. Before long, we had secured a strong following from across Vancouver and established a wonderful partnership with the then recently-formed Samahan ng Kabataan at SFU and the Filipino Students Association at UBC. The result was an amazing production in 1994 titled, Ang Bayan Ko - My Country, My Homeland. It was 10 months in the making - a culmination of absolute dedication, tears of difficulty, and overall, extremely hard work on the part of performers, parents, and production support. We presented our premier show at Richmond`s Gateway Theatre in November 1994, surprising our nearly sold-out audience - and ourselves - with our accomplishment. It became our standard of excellence upon which future shows were measured and improved upon.

 

So why is this important? How is KP`s history relevant? As the old adage goes: only in looking to your past can you know where you are today, that you may be confident in the direction of tomorrow. Today, we celebrate 10 years of KP. A decade that has seen over a dozen mainstage performances, over a hundred appearances in Canada and the U.S., and over two hundred committed volunteers and performers. That we have such a milestone to celebrate can only further affirm our need to continue the tradition that we founded together. Though many of us have moved on to a different phase in our lives, even a different place altogether, the legacy of what KP has become continues to rest with us.

 

And so we continue to gather, old and new for a dual purpose: for celebration and an invitation. As we cross the thresholds of milestones each year, we open the door to new hopes, aspirations, and opportunities. Thus, to you all I say: come and take your place among a cast of excellence and be part of our journey of cultural discovery that is Kababayang Pilipino. We welcome you to our stage.

Such places make me stop thinking about current affairs and what not.

You just sit and admire nature around you...

 

No badges and group images, thanks.

An armoured vehicle, patrolling the near-empty streets in Brussels, post Paris attacks, after the threat level was raised.

Amazingly, it is a week since my last working day, and time is already flying through my fingers. Our fingers.

 

But time had come for us to bid New York goodbye, back our things and head north to Beantown, Boston, for a few days.

 

We laid in bed for a while, me coughing loudly from time to time, then Jools announcing she has now caught the cold. Or a cold. Might not be mine.

 

Anyway, we have to pack, get all the clothes we have brought back into the case ready for the trip. We had hours to get it done, so we take hours, and had decided to have breakfast at Penn Station rather than go to our usual haunt.

 

At ten we are done, so go down to check out, and for the bellhop to call a cab. We had the most reasonable man in New York driving us, who spoke with knowledge of global events and current affairs, and of Brexit and Trump.

 

He made the journey to the station seem so effortless, it was a shame when we arrived. Outside the station, or stations, more of that in a minute, it was mad. Two drunks, so out of it they could hardly stand, panhandled us for change, the woman incapable of speech in fact. We dashed over the road to the wonderful building on the other side only to find there are two Penn Stations, and this grand one is the New Jersey railway, the other, more Euston-like, was back on the other side of the road.

 

We cross back over and begin the hunt for breakfast, which we thought would be civilised. But all there was were a series of fast food places, and people everywhere. We d find a table at a deli and I get food. And it still cost thirty backs or so, no cheapness even there. But we needed to eat.

 

Then began the wait for the train, sitting in the waiting room for the train to be called, then wait some more to find which platform it was coming in on. When it was announced platform 9, there was a mad rush and we were at the back, but a member of staff opened another stairway down onto the platform, so we go on really quick, found two spare seats in business, still trying to work out what was business or different from the cattle class tickets, just as cramped and hard seats, but at least the seats lined up with the windows, unlike back home.

 

And off we go into a tunnel under east Manhattan, under the East River and out into the Bronx. We get fine views over the rooftops with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, until the train dips and dives through the New York suburbs, and in half an hour, into the countryside.

I like a good train journey,

 

especially one I have not been on before, so I am enthralled as the train passes through many towns with identical names as some back home, most look the same, but after a while we are beside the sea, and whizz through a series of resorts and fishing villages until we pass into Connecticut.

 

All the towns blur into one, Stamford, New Haven, Yale University all pass by. We stop a couple of times, drop passengers off, pick up only a handful. Into Rhode Island, a state I have been to before, but we are in and out of it pretty quick, and then into Boston.

 

Outside the station we flag the angriest man in Boston to take us to the hotel; he is on the horn all the while, not indicating, and angry at everyone. We tip him at the hotel just glad to be out of his presence.

 

Out hotel is swish. Posh even, named after one in London, The Langham. The bellhop wears a bowler hat and carries our bags to check in, but we say we can carry our own cases thank you very much.

 

Upstairs we find we have a suite, and plenty of room to spread our rags and tattered clothes.

 

Lets go out to eat!

Boston has changed huge amounts since I was last here a decade and a half ago, I have no idea where we are or where to go. We walk up through the commercial district to a main shopping street, down that, but can see nowhere to eat.

 

I then spy a place, the Boston Chop, we go in. Also, very swish. A hundred bucks for a bog standard bottle of red, so we pass. But they do a good steak, which is good. And we have crème brulee to follow, and all is right with the world. Until the bill comes.

 

We walk back through the city centre until I find what I was looking for; the Freedom Trail, which we will follow tomorrow. I take shots of buildings, some old, some new, all interesting, until Jools says she is tired, so we try to find the hotel.

 

Back inside I have a shower, Jools watches some Breaking Bad, and another day has passed us by.

In 1994, South Africa abolished its apartheid regime and Nelson Mandela became the country’s first democratically elected president. After decades of white minority rule, a new constitution granted equal right to all South Africans, regardless of skin colour, culture, religion or sexual orientation. The generation born after 1994 are the Born Frees.

 

Mandela maintained a keen focus on young people and their role in society. He saw them as carriers of hope, and as future leaders with a responsibility to make South Africa a better place to live: a Rainbow Nation with equal opportunities for all. “Mindful of your own challenges, you must continue to promote the principle of relentless freedom and democracy,” said Mandela.

 

For over a decade, photojournalist Ilvy Njiokiktjien has portrayed the Born Frees; through interviews, photography and film. Though equality exists on paper, in reality, South Africa struggles with issues such as high unemployment rates, economic inequality, and wounds from the apartheid era. Many young people experience racism and discrimination. Did the dream of the Rainbow Nation ever come true, or is it just a myth?

 

Ilvy Njiokiktjien (b. Netherlands, 1984) has worked as a current affairs and documentary photographer in a number of countries, focusing especially on Africa. Her work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, TIMES and Der Spiegel. Born Free has received numerous awards, and in 2013, Njiokiktjien became Netherland’s first National Photographer. The images in the exhibition were taken between 2009 – 2019. Foto: Mari Hildung

Poole 18.09.2014

Just a hotel in a capital city with flags on display making for a good night-time street scene. History, religion, politics and current affairs dictate that some spectators see much more than that. For me I saw a hotel in a capital city with flags on display making for a good night-time street scene. It was a bright moment in the night on North Bridge in Edinburgh as I enjoyed the Spring season warming up the great natural beauty of Scotland. For others the ructions roused around Brexit are keeping history, religion and politics in a very much hotter heat than March and April can ever bring and a legacy of turmoil that will be much longer lasting than the average remembrance of time from one month to another month. Fate and facts are being created right now to be briefly be held in the spotlights and to be slowly allowed to flutter away in the continuing passing breezes.

The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) is one of the most visited exhibition and arts centres in Barcelona. Situated in the Raval district, the Centre’s core theme is the city and urban culture. Its success is based on quality, its rather eclectic approach, attention to a broad cross section of publics and the unique way it addresses issues with the aim of linking the academic world with creative processes and citizens in general. The CCCB organizes and produces exhibitions, debates, festivals and concerts; programmes film cycles, courses and lectures; encourages creation using new technologies and languages, explores and promotes the ongoing fusion of languages and different genres, and takes in-house productions to other national and international arts centres, museums and institutions. The underlying aim of these activities is to generate debate, thinking and reflection on the theme of the city and public space, and other issues that define current affairs. The CCCB is also an open space for creators, associations and freelance programmers with whom it has forged links over the years. The CCCB offers the public access to part of its holdings, a manifestation of its activities in the form of a multimedia archive comprising materials created by the Centre during its years of activity. A wide variety of materials (documents, publications, digital files, audiovisuals, etc.) on key themes of contemporary culture and society are available for consultation in the CCCB ARCHIVE, which is constantly updated. Also available for public consultation is the Centre’s XCÈNTRIC ARCHIVE, a digital archive of experimental and documentary film, comprising over 700 titles related to its programme “Xcèntric. The CCCB’s Cinema”...

Headed back to Rhode Island this weekend to get a head start on "current affairs" photojournalism assignment for class. My focus - the modern tattoo age. My subjects - my friends and their ink.

 

Here is a little preview of the session I attended at Ambition Tattoo in Johnston, RI.

 

A lot of thanks to Nick for inviting me to tag along, and Vinny for letting me shoot while he worked (lights and all).
