I even begin to explain just how important this was for me to be there for the 10th Anniversary of Black Lives Matter. I've been documenting this movement for a very long time and it has been a huge honor to be able to document BLM LA.
It's been a whole since I've been out with my cameras and I handled the day just like I'd never been gone.
Looking forward to continuing the journey with BLM
The SEO Over Optimization Penalty Explained at Blikini

Before any of you react, i would like to explain this photo in detail....
People from some of the richer, wealthier countries would discard the intestines of any meat... they would first get rid of the insides, then with the chicken, manufacturers throw away the head, its feet, its neck... they have no use for it after all.... but let me repeat...
this is the case for the WEALTHIER countries... i hesitate to name them...
this is not the case for 3rd world countries such as mine, the Philippines...
the fact that we eat all the above-mentioned animal parts only points to one pertinent and relevant truth that is part of every Filipino's lives...
POVERTY...
poverty, necessity, lack of food are factors that prompt us to be resourceful and in doing so, forces us to make use of things that other people would deem unimportant...
so, to some people, this picture maybe graphic and disgusting but to me.. this is life...
life as Filipinos have come to accept it....
don't get me wrong... i'm not in any way ashamed.... i actually EAT the stuff...
it's part of my heritage...
the whole point of this is to describe Filipinos as a resilient, resourceful, content and HAPPY race---and of that, I AM TRULY PROUD...
I was wondering why my purse was so heavy. But I keep my lipsticks in my bag so I can reapply throughout the day. Not shown: Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet, my new go-to red.

Roberta Gigante explaining her work of art herself: She explores relationships between the public space, image and sound. More specifically, she examines the resonance frequency of various objects and how they behave as ‘an image’ when vibrations reach or exceed certain limits. In the context of Electrified she went to the Port in Ghent, more specifically to a terrain on which twelve gigantic metal pipes are stored. ‘Gigantic’ is a fitting word to describe the pipes which have an average length of 60 m, a diameter of 3.5m and walls 10cm thick. The twelve pipes lie side by side like organ pipes that are ready to be incorporated in the instrument. Roberta Gigante quite literally sees these metal pipes as sound cylinders. Each of them are sealed off on one side and equipped with a amplifier and sub woofer. Each pipe has its own resonance frequency depending on its thickness, diameter and length. These twelve frequencies are precisely measured and used as the basis for an in situ sound installation. The calculated base tones can be used as keynotes for further musical experiment. The result of this remarkable organ concert is performed and registered in the context of Electrified."

The 28th edition of the Brussels Girl Geek Dinner featured art, pie and sound. We started off at the S.M.A.K. with a tour through the Ed Templeton and Hacking Public Spaces exposition, after which we were treated to coffee and pie.
Then off to the harbour of Gent to see OrganOOn, a gigantic art sound installation by Roberta Gigante (what's in a name). The 12 huge pipes produce a droning noise and represent together a throbbing organ in an enormous body, ie the harbour of Gent.
Very impressive and one of the most memorable editions of the BGGD so far.
Thank you @bnox, @vooruit & S.M.A.K.

From the Abrahamic Reunion multi-faith gathering at Mount Gerizim, Har Bracha/Mt. of Blessings, Dec. 21, 2014. Hosted by the Samaritans in their village overlooking Nablus, we gathered, 120 Israelis and Palestinians, on the eve of the sixth night of Hanukkah. The day had dialogue circles, blessings by the high priest and governor of Nablus, a women's session about Samaritan customs, gathering at the ruins of the ancient Samaritan temple for a prayer circle and views of Balata and Joseph's Tomb, a tour of the Passover sacrifice site and Samaritan museum, teachings about light in Islam, and the inner meaning of Christmas and a closing Hannukah celebration.
This image was inspired by observing the Extinction Symbol on the foreshore of the South Bank (during May 2011) itself becoming extinct.
By repeating and removing parts of the symbol it becomes possible to explain the meaning.

I can't explain why people collect certain things. Some people collect comics, some stamps, some coins, some collect video games, or art, or cameras (and I must admit, I love my collections of video games and movies and toys and art and cameras and all those other things I obsess over).
One of my favorite movies is "Amelie" by director Jean Pierre Junet. He also directed "Delicatessen" and "The City of Lost Children", which I love, but when Amelie came out in 2001, it was a love that I can't explain. Every moment of that film I simply have immense love for. I saw it many times in the theater. I brought friends to see it.
For some reason, I became very obsessive with collecting the movie when it came out on DVD. There are certain movies I'll buy on multiple formats when they come out (vhs to Laserdisc to DVD to blu-ray; the common "upgrade"), but the second I discovered there were "deluxe" editions of Amelie released all over the world, I simply had to collect them.
Since 2001 I've slowly collected every deluxe edition of Amelie that has been released; from a European Cookie Tin edition, to a French-Canadian release, to the elusive Japanese tin edition, and, just today, a Chinese blu-ray edition just arrived to add to my collection.
Ultimately, people collect things because it brings them joy. It helps them remember a certain time, or emotion and feeling.
I felt it time to document my collection.
