Bishop Edward Daly. 5 December 1933 - 8 August 2016
I was sad, from a personal as well as a political perspective, to hear of the death today of Bishop Edward Daly, at the age of 82.
In January 1972 the bishop, then a parish priest in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, was a pivotal player in the terrible event that became known worldwide as Bloody Sunday – one of the most notorious in the long history of The Troubles.
Among those present that day at a civil rights march was the then Father Edward Daly. Under gunfire, he waved a bloodstained handkerchief as he led a group of people carrying the dying teenager John Duddy away from the mayhem. This harrowing scene has become probably the most vividly enduring image of The Troubles, and to this day it’s depicted in a wall mural in Derry (top image).
In his book Ireland – A Terrible Beauty (1976), Leon Uris wrote: “For a time Father Daly had to leave Derry, for the agony of it had become unbearable. Then, in one of the hierarchy’s most enlightened decisions, he was named Bishop of Derry. This most Christian of men and most gentle of souls returned... for he was incapable of doing less.”
In my journalistic days with Thames Television, I was fortunate enough to work in Northern Ireland for some years during The Troubles, and I came to personally know the Bishop as a man of great humanity and integrity. In the bottom image, I’m on the left and Peter Taylor, now a veteran BBC reporter specialising in global terrorism, is on the right. The photograph was taken after we’d recorded an interview for Thames TV's This Week international current affairs programme on 27 January 1977.
Today, I should like to pay tribute to Bishop Edward Daly, a remarkable and outstanding human being, for all the good he did in Northern Ireland in those deeply troubled times and beyond. Blessed is the peacemaker.
A little more of my Northern Ireland material from those days is here.
The apartment block in St. Denis used by the Paris terrorists, that was then raided by police. The whole back wall was blown out and floors collapsed, blast holes are also very visible around the windows. Can't really imagine what that must all have been like...

“My flag looks like the original American flag. The red stands for blood and the blue stripes stand for the original colonies. The difference is that it is warped. There isonly one star because America is self-centered.”
--6th grade student artist’s own words written in Dec., 2005
This flag was exhibited on a bulletin board in 2005 at Capital Hill Gifted and Talented Magnet Shool in St. Paul. The student, who was in the 6th grade when he/she made this , is now a Senior in High School. Previously I did not want to name the school for fear that it might alert federal agents to investigate and intimidate the teacher or the school for being "anti-american"! That was 6 years ago though . . Great debate below that deals with issues such as brainwashing kids with liberal political propaganda and patriotism, etc. Read on and make a comment!

Original image was a collaboration for an eventual poster, created by Chip Thomas (jetsonorama) and Monica Canilao (wewillallbewell) for JustSeeds and the promotion of the People’s Climate March in New York September 21, 2014.
This digital photo mural was created in November 2014 by Chip Thomas aka Jetsonorama. The paper is applied to the wall with acrylic matte medium.

Cathedral Plaza, at the south end of High Street, Worcester, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Sunday 6th March 2022, at around 2pm to 4pm.
About the photograph.
The No to War in Ukraine protest was arranged by the Worcester Trades Union Council and took place in Worcester on Sunday 6th March 2022.
It was happening just a stone’s throw from the Knife Angel sculpture which was on tour around the United Kingdom, and at that time, was in Worcester.
In the photographs, this lady was taking photos of the Knife Angel, and as you can see in the background in one of the photos, a crowd of people attending the protest.
She is wearing a leopard print faux fur coat, with blue jeans tucked into knee-length boots.
Notice that she’s wearing gloves on her left hand, but her right hand is bare, as she needed to operate her Apple iPhone.
The last time I attended a protest to try to do some photojournalism kind of photography, was back in 1987-89 during my college days.
Since then, I had been trying to get a job in photography or graphic design. Got married, started having kids, then got a divorce and became a very busy single parent and full-time carer. Now that my kids are older and left home, I’m free and independent, so I decided to try to get back into doing photography. I need to refresh my skills anyway.
In the first week of March, 2022, I heard that there was a planned protest in Worcester which is the nearest city, so the night before, I charged up my Nikon’s batteries, formatted the memory cards to make sure I have plenty of storage space left for more photos, and made sure my photography kit bag is ready.
On the afternoon of Sunday, I drove to Worcester, parked my car at the car park, and walked over to the Cathedral Plaza, which is where the protests were happening.
There was around about between 50 to 75 people, or something like that, maybe up to a hundred. The protest was really more like a Speaker’s Corner kind of protest, with many people just standing around, rather than a march. It wasn’t much of a protest, but then again, it is because Worcester is a small city compared to other major cities where protests were taking part on massive scale.
I tried my best to do a photo-journalism kind of photography, I went around the crowd and took as many photos as I could. Those are just the few good photos I could find out of the approximately 400 photos I managed to take.
About the overall subject.
About the protest.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine started on the 24th of February 2022, and in a short space of time, many Europeans, Americans, mostly and mainly anyone of “Western” lifestyle, people living in free countries, with freedom of speech, of choice, of votes, many of them started taking to streets to protest against the Russian invasion.
There were so many signs in various languages, often advising that Russia should leave Ukraine, stop the war, Putin being a war criminal, and so on.
This protest that I attended to take the photos, was organised by the Worcester Trades Union Council, and was listed on the Stop the War Coalition website, under the No to War in Ukraine protests section. This was just one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of protests happening all around the world on Sunday 6th March, in respond to President Putin‘s decision to attack Ukraine.
About the Knife Angel.
The Knife Angel is a 27 feet tall structure, it is a sculpture of a weeping angel, and was made with 100,000 various knives. The knives were mainly anonymously donated and handed in through knife banks, with some knives seized by the police.
The sculpture was created to highlight the knife crime in the United Kingdom, and try to educate young people of the behaviour.
When the structure was completed in 2018, it began a nationwide tour around the UK, often on display in a city for a month, before moved to another city for another month.
The Comment Box is for comments about the photograph or about the subject in the photograph. It is NOT an adverting billboard for copy-and-paste Canned Comments with pre-prepared text and oversized pic of group logo. Those say something about the groups, not about my photo, therefore will be deleted. If you want to promote the groups you are member of, do so in YOUR own Photostream!
at Worcester.
One week before I took this, this terrace was filled with people laughing, drinking, talking, fighting, and doing all the things that make Paris the city of light. Now they are flowers and candles.
We are the young people of the Ukraine.Photographed in the City of Odessa, on the Black Sea.
I hope everything is resolved peacefully in these troubled times
Treated with suspicion in his home city, an Asian man in Bristol photographed at Temple Meads Railway station. Shortly after this artistic shoot a few months ago (which I've only just posted now), an Asian man was allegedly thrown off a National Express bus leaving from Bristol because of suspicion from other (white) passengers he was a terrorist.
Even while I was with him for the shoot, I noted how some people were looking at him with disgust. This is just as we walked down the street. A significant nunber also gave me filthy looks because I was chatting to him - I think they assumed we were a mixed race couple.

The Home Secretary, the right honourable Theresa May, no less, leaving the annual Police Federation Conference at the BIC today, after making a speech there.
While loitering around the seafront in my lunch break, I noticed a bit of Police activity at the back of the BIC and realised that someone of importance was due to leave. Hung around for 10 minutes and gate crashed the press pack to get this shot..pretty chuffed with it, not bad for my little Lumix !

Photographs taken on Saturday Febuary 4th as Police escorted members of the English Defence League (EDL) as they marched holding banners aloft during a demonstration through the streets of Leicester city center. Estimates say Up to two thousand members of the EDL gathered in the centre of Leicester, personally I think it was around a thousand as an opposing demonstration by anti-fascists UAF (Unite Against fascismheld) was held nearby.
I was shooting the events as they unfolded for Getty Images.

From the archive, and following on from the previous image - I'm on the promanade in Benghazi, waiting for Gaddafi (and looking quite relaxed about it) in March 1973. I haven't a clue who took this photograph - but all these decades later the sideburns, the purple shirt, the leather coat, the Chelsea boots are something of an embarrassment... but the style at the time.
By the way, that's Benghazi's former Catholic cathedral in the background. It was built between 1929 and 1939 and was once the largest church in Africa. It later became a headquarters for the Arab Socialist Union and today it's ramshackle and derelict.

“My flag represents the U.S. flag with an X through it. There is an X through it to represent everything the U.S.doesn’t want to but does represent: things like poverty, disease, and discrimination.”
--Student artist’s own words.
This art was exhibited on a bulletin board of a gifted and talented magnet shool in the US. I won't name the school for fear that it might alert federal agents to investigate and intimidate the teacher or the school for being "anti-american".

The Rohingya Refugee Women in Bangladesh.
They lost their citizenship status in Myanmar, then someone lost her husband, someone lost her child, someone has lost his parents, Someone has lost his wife, Young women are raped by the Myanmar Army every day, Then, Killing him burned in the fire, somebody’s throat cut and killed they says. This story is the Rohingya people of Myanmar.
The Myanmar army and Buddhist Fundamentalism terrorist are killing common and innocent people irrespective of their caste and creed in the name of cleansing the Rohingyas. Because Rohingya Peoples are fleeing and entering to Bangladesh for save their lives. The government of Bangladesh and the general people are giving shelter to humanitarian causes and extended their hands to sympathy. But no one wants that these Rohingya refugees stay in Bangladesh for a long time.
Rohingya refugees who come to Bangladesh are saying: Myanmar Army is genocide of Rohingya Muslims and burning their homes every day, raping young girls then cut his throat and kill him and some time burned killing. According to the United Nations and Government of Bangladesh newly arrived till now, more than 700.000 thousand of Rohingya Muslims people entered in Bangladesh through different borders of Myanmar-Bangladesh. And there are old, nearly 500.000 thousand Rohingya refugees. Total Rohingya refugee enters in Bangladesh about 12 million. Every day refugees are increasing among them; there are more number of women, pregnant woman, children and old people. According to the UNHCR sources, 50 thousand Rohingya children will be born within the next six months in Rohingya refugee camp, Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

We have always had a complex relationship with technology. There are perennial claims that it may come to dominate us, or in some way undermine human values. In the 5th century BC, Plato’s dialogue the Phaedrus contained an early critique of the technology of writing at the time of its widespread adoption: Socrates voices concerns that writing will undermine human knowledge and authority and will ultimately be destructive to the Athenian polis. We find echoes of this in some of the responses to contemporary media technologies from Wikipedia to Google to Facebook. Some suggest our dependence on a range of digital ‘cognitive extension technologies’, are dumbing down culture, or even changing the nature of human consciousness.
Neuroscientist Susan Greenfield has argued Facebook and related technologies are in danger of undermining children´s abilities to relate to each in a basic face-to-face manner, though these claims have been fiercely contested. Professor Sherry Turkle, author of the influential book Alone Together has suggested our ‘pathological’ addiction to social media is making us ‘less human’. Others, such as Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows and novelist Zadie Smith argue it’s ‘flattening us out’, turning us into two-dimensional, dumbed-down, emotionally illiterate consumers.
Yet others believe human intelligence - rather being the simple outcome of evolution on a Pleistocene savannah - is always wrapped up with our use of technology. Our minds are not in the normal sense natural, or fixed. We may indeed think differently from our ancestors before telephones, aeroplanes, pharmacology; everything from the wheel to the locomotive has undoubtedly influenced our social relations and indeed our idea of ourselves as humans. So if human intelligence has always been forged in a relation to technology, is there really anything so special about the new technologies from a cognitive standpoint? Or, do our fears about the cognitive implications of the Web 2.0 say more about today’s cultural climate of determinism and pessimism about the future and a loss of faith in humanity? What has caused so many to view the internet and mobile technology so pessimistically?

Trust to build Carezone – a secure online space to help looked-after children manage their online information and ‘make sense of’ the care system.
Beyond his campaigning and advocacy interests, Phil builds tools and organisations to create systems that embody certain ‘digital fundamentals’ in an attempt to ensure that the information society comes to reflect the best of human nature, not its worst.
