Mountain bike (well, small incline bike) by Axel Bührmann

He's about to go what we in Africa call "bundu-bashing"; i.e. "into the bush" on his bike. Except that in this case the bush is a reasonably well-manicured lawn.... but there you have it.

Chris describes her career as a lawyer as ‘… 25 years of waging peace.’ She practiced in St Catharines, Ontario specializing in family law during the period 1977-2002 including 8 years with Lancaster, Mix & Welch. Subsequently, Chris served with legal aid until 2012, after which she retired to Grimsby, Ontario. Along the way, she coauthored, with Barbara A Chisholm, the book ‘Custody/Access Assessments – A Practical Guide for Lawyers and Assessors’ which can be found in all Ontario courtrooms as a resource in the negotiation of family law issues, and which she is holding in this image. In 1984 she qualified as a family mediator, one of the first lawyers in Niagara to do so. In addition she served on the Ethics Committee of the Ontario Association For Family Mediation as well as a lay member of the Ontario College of Certified Social Workers.

Chris is shown in Courtroom #8 of the Robert S. K. Welch Courthouse in downtown St Catharines, Ontario, one of two courtrooms in which much her work took place. The courtroom itself is (relatively) modern but wooden panels, dias, jury boxes, lawyers desks, etc., are all elements relocated from the original Lincoln County courthouse dating back to 1849. Aside from her professional association which this courtroom, it was also where she was married.

Tech Details:

This is a composite image. The photo of the courtroom/background was taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm. The Portrait of Chris was done in a different location using the Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D lense, and lighting provided by a strobe setup consisting of a pair of large octagonal soft-boxes fitted with radio-triggered strobes. Each image was processed using Free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source files to produce files that were subsequently combine in Free Open Source GIMP. The process is quite detailed and is not described here. However, if you have specific questions, just post them in the comments.

Since January 2011, I've been following and reporting Ibrahim Mohammed'story, a Somaly Refugee in Rome. I met Ibrahim during my first visit at the Former Embassy of Somalia in Rome. He was one of the almost 150 illegal occupants of the abandoned building, which used to host the Somali diplomatic mission until 1991, as a Civil War brought of the African country.

For 20 years many Somalian immigrants, once arrived in Rome, used to live in this half destroyed building in the middle of an exclusive district, full of Embassies, Governmental Istitutions and prestigious private mansions.

No water, no gas, no electricity. Rats, rubbish and mold everywhere.

Ibrahim arrived here two years ago. While looking for a job during daylight, he used to go and sleep in this parallel world every night, few steps away from civilization.

The Embassy was cleared in february 2011 by the police.

Ibrahim and other Somali citizens found hospitality in a municipal hostel.

This capture portraits Ibrahim's wife and elder child.

Ibrahim's kids live in a "Children's Care Home", as stated by the Family Court of Rome. They may live together with their parents, once Ibrahim will be able to mantain his family with a regular job.

Ibrahim strived for this aim til last August, as his stay permit expired. Italian authorities decided not to renew it.

Ibrahim was forced to live our country, leaving his wife and children behind.

He is currently in Sweden. He will try to come back to Rome one day. No one knows, if he shall ever succeed to get another stay permit. Even if he'll be back, he will not easily reunite with his children. A child custody may be arranged during his absence.

This photo was taken last may, as Ibrahim and his wife visited their kids in the "Children's Care Home".

I spent one day in this structure. Still today, whenever my memory goes back to those children, I feel damned lucky and grateful for my life, my family, my beloved ones.

This is really just quite brilliant; turn your photographs into Polaroids, and no cumbersome or expensive Photoshop plug-ins or edits to mess with.

Shake it as it "develops" and see what happens.
