The term empowerment covers a vast landscape of meanings, interpretations, definitions and disciplines. Empowerment of women, also called gender empowerment, has become a significant topic of discussion in regards to development and economics.
This evenings outing in the Power & Light district of Kansas City ended up being quite intriguing. I've walked into some interesting situations in my time living this life, but I could not make this story up if I tried.
On this evening an acquaintance and I were doing some urban exploration, our destination being the grand old Hotel Phillips for a cocktail. Upon entering, what does she walk into but, a conference for "Influential Women of Kansas City 2012". Once I got my bearings I noticed the woman at the sign in desk giving out name tags was looking me over, not real sure as to who (or perhaps what) I was. Actually it all ended up being somewhat empowering, real women can read those of us portraying them like a book, and I managed to survive this little encounter pretty well I would like to think. As a devotee and admirer of beautiful, confident well dressed women, being in this place at this time was a true joy.
I only managed one not that interesting photo in the lovely old place, feeling it was best not to make too much of a spectacle out of myself, I'll post that somewhere down the road. We milled about the lobby for a time, but out of respect for the REAL influential women there, it was time to retreat to the lounge for a cosmo.
In Jodhpur village of Rajasthan the women are feeding their families, growing their businesses and saving more money than ever before, with the help of a Tata Trusts-CmF programme that’s empowering rural women.
Rural women are key agents for achieving the transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face, which are further aggravated by the global food and economic crises and climate change. Empowering them is key not only to the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also to overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide.

Taken with my old Canon Digital Ixus, way back in November 2006, this work is entitled "Empowerment". It spans the River Witham as it flows through Lincoln city centre. One of an occasional retrospective series as I am currently being good and self-isolating.

This sculpture by the artist Stephen Broadbent spans the River Witham in city of Lincoln, England. Its form evokes turbine blades and celebrates Lincoln's industrial heritage: the company Alstom (which sponsored the sculpture) manufactures gas turbines in the city. As the turbine blades transfer power between them, so these human figures empower one another. Completed in 2002, Empowerment marks the start of the new millenium.
Environmental awareness mural by Carly Ealey aka @carlyealey and Christopher Konecki aka @konecki_art for @keyconservation, seen at 533 13th Street East in the East Village area of San Diego, California.
The artists state: "Our mural features the world’s fastest animal and San Diego local, the Peregrine falcon. Once on the brink of extinction, now thriving is proof of successful conservation efforts. The rare and critically endangered Torrey pine is endemic to SD county and needs that same attention."

Straight from the camera, light painting photography. I used Led Lenser M7RX for the bigger spark and also lighten up the water. Thanks to Herramientas LightPainting for the great light palette tool!
I almost forgot these! A couple more of Stephen Broadbent's "Empowerment", on the river Witham, in Lincoln.
This impressive 17m tall sculptured arch over River Witham in the centre of Lincoln was errected to celebrate the Millennium. Designed specifically for The City of Lincoln by Stephen Broadbent it is a reflection of the rich engineering heritage of the City. The sculpture, funded by private sponsorship, was installed in January 2002. The shot was taken shortly after it was errected.
Britni joined us at a Dressed to Kill/Thrill shoot in downtown Nampa recently. My camera definitely approved of this. Britni is a blast to shoot with and at this shoot she looked absolutely stunning. As always, I can't wait to shoot with her again! I took these photos at the end of July 2020 while social distancing.
I had a chance to shoot with the lovely Rachel at a small group shoot near the Nampa Library - a nice area to shoot. This was my first time working with Rachel but she looked so familiar - it bugged me during the whole shoot. On the way home it came to me - she reminded me of Madam X, a subject painted by John Singer Sargent, my favorite artist. Very close resemblance. Back to the shoot - we had a blast - great chemistry. Rachel is quite stunning and very intelligent too - she is busy studying to be an RN. The only negative about the shoot was the wind - it was constant and strong - so we had a lot of maverick hair to deal with. Hopefully the wind won't be a factor at the next shoot!
I took these photos in July 2020 in Nampa, Idaho.

a major reworking of an older piece of mine (have learned so many different techniques since i first created it). this one is about finding your own path through life, regardless of societal pressure. i chose to use a black woman as the focus because of the pressure on women and the way that black people are still so stereotyped. both groups are also dismissed too often by those in power. society here is represented by the smug group in back, who i imagine are condescendingly talking about her, while at the same time stealing from one another (look closely, you'll see). the woman may be silenced in their group, but she is reveling in her own inner life and is undaunted..
