This teenager is waiting for the life he expects. He sits in a jerry that children use to collect water or play games in the camp, but he is no longer a boy, he’s too big for the jerry can. He has become too old while waiting for a new life, for a new solution. Refugees are always waiting – waiting for rations, waiting for help from agencies, waiting for documents, waiting for resettlement. He is a refugee with nothing behind him. All he has is what is in front of him.
-Mebrahtu, 45, art teacher
Each day, 150 refugees arrive to one of the four northern Ethiopian camps. They are provided with crucial services – healthcare, basic education, food and housing. However, opportunities for dignified, durable solutions – resettlement, return home or integration within Ethiopia – are impossible for most.

Just an ordinary milk-crate out the front of a café after closing time. I liked the way it intersected with the parking-space lines in the background, although I should have used a tigher aperture or focussed on the middle of the crate instead of the back or something.

In 1954 a group of enthusiastic, imaginative children gathered together eager to learn. By 8:05 they realized that their teacher was part of a conspiracy to turn them into worker bees for the military industrial complex. Her name was Mrs. Weamers and she went by the book. Children in her class would do as they were told or else she would "Jump down your throat and dance on your liver" as she was fond of saying. We survived. We did more than that. After all, we were the generation who would grow up to defy the establishment in the 60's and change everything. We had Great Expectations.

El Parque del Amore is just a bit in your face. All of the erotica of the past Peruvian cultures as you might see in their ceramics did not go away with each wave of cultural domination. Instead it's installed here in a curious cliff top park dominated by a whopping big off the scale sculpture: El Beso (The Kiss).
El Beso, the plaque says, was created by a Peruvian artist, Victor DelfÃn. A monstrously large couple wrapped in each other’s arms, lock in a passionate kiss. Will an animatronic re-creation ever take its place with all the squelchy sounds and the inevitable coupling and decoupling you'd expect of such passion? Perhaps it could be coin-operated to cover the costs?
Down and around the promenades are mosaic walls depicting a lot and nothing — from ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus to simply colourful non-specific patterns. Its a very strange place. The free admission goes some way to lowering expectations. Oddly, if you set your sights low enough, all of your expectations will likely be met, even exceeded.
I hope everyone is aware that they did this same concept in 500 Days of Summer.
I've always liked it and wanted to try it by taking two quick snapshots that are nothing special with only different facial expressions.
For further explanation:
The top photo is of me smiling because it is simply expected and desired, but in reality, the bottom photo of me with a blank facial expression is how I truly feel.
Indri got into the Christmas spirit -- with a little bit of arm-twisting and gentle coaxing on my part. She begrudgingly agreed visit The Bay on Queen with me to see their amazing Christmas display, holding on to the last sliver of trust she had in me. Blessedly it worked its magic on her -- as I knew it would!
It's always a joy when you get to work with a model who is a natural...and Katie is nothing if not natural. I'd like to take credit for having given her artistic direction for her pose in this shot....but I can't...it's all her own work.
Katie is the daughter of two of my friends...and just a delight to work with in the studio. All I really have to do is set up the lights...and let her be herself.
It's not always that easy...and I can recall a "photo session from Hell" with those who shall remain nameless (but if you were to guess they were Katie's older brothers [when they were much younger]...you might not be far wrong!)
You can see another shot from this session here:
and this Photoshop reworking of it here:
I watched this last night. I hadn't seen it in a long time. Anne Bancroft used to scare me in this. It wasn't bad.
I have this book. I need to read it.
No smoking of segars. Don't spit on the floor. I've served other churches with historic documents posted, emphasizing expectations that seem humorous by today's standards. The church in which I grew up had such a poster locked in a safe.
I wonder what things were like in the 1800s, to make it necessary to state these things . . .

You never know what a day will bring. One day, 75 degrees. Two days later: possibly 2 to 4 inches of snow. Cannot believe we might actually have snow here.
Friends, press photographers, team manager and public look down the finishing straight in anticipation as the leaders sprint towards them. Seconds later, Steele von Hoff (NFTO Pro Racing) crossed the line an inch or two ahead of Ed Clancy (JLT Condor) to win the Canary Wharf stage.
