The tarts before being shoved into the oven.
Remind me never to attempt dough patterns on top of the jam ever again. The time spent, and my back.
At least they look pretty.
Beautiful creatures. Not convinced this is the best way to treat them - do the benefits of educating people about them outweigh the confinement and exploitation? Taken in Malta.
Its exploits are legendary, its capabilities on and off-road are fascinating, and its reputation is idolized by fans from every denomination of society. It's the world-acclaimed G-Class, defined by Geländewagen which translates to off-road vehicle. But to the global masses the SUV is better known as the G-Wagen!

Exploited.
"Why do we need to take a lot of photos of the ones who are suffering? Isn't that exploitation already? Not unless we are working for an NGO, or for documentaries, we should limit ourselves between the fine line of street photography and exploitation."
"It's the same with delivering a green joke. People tend to take photos of those who are suffering, because they are easy, similar to those green jokes, people tend to grasp them easily, but people also tend to forget that easily also.."
"Take a picture of an old man, and VOILA! you have an instant award-winning photo!"
-Quoted from posts I've read in message boards that circulate around our beloved internet.
Will we limit ourselves to just taking pictures, and not do a thing about it?
Will it still be called an enthusiastic hobby if, us, so-called "photographers" would step in the way of other people's feet just to take these kinds of pictures?
These kinds of photos are the ones who could open the eyes of those who are blind. But, we exploited them and caged them to ourselves by making it as our contest-winning photos.
Now, do you consider yourself as the one who is a master of manipulating light, or as a master of manipulating hearts?

The Children’s Society commissioned us to produce a film telling a personal story for their integrated campaign about Child Sexual exploitation. This is the biggest campaign that they charity has ever done, so this video was very important.
The project had a tight turnaround and the sensitive subject matter and the vulnerability of the young people involved presented us with a challenge.
We felt it was important to show a human face to communicate the huge impact child sexual exploitation has on a young person’s life. But due to their vulnerability, we were not able to feature the faces any of the victims.
Our solution was to work with a young actor to deliver the actual words of young people who has been supported by the Children’s Society as a result of experiencing child sexual exploitation.
We worked with the client to turn the words into a script for Becky’s Story and deliver this important message. We provided a location for filming and supported the young actor to produce a natural and realistic portrayal of a young woman coming to terms with child sexual exploitation.
