Mystical (7A-1) — Seeing the beauty in nature inspire me because it is always a fascination to see how the bird works in nature. This piece of work reminds me of Roni Horn because her work is about between the humankind and nature. I understand how to work with nature and how nature affects me. Just because I see the varieties of birds outside don’t mean they are just the birds flying in the air or sitting on the branch. I feel I can be connected to the bird to see beyond the bird within nature and that idea of mine is the matter to me. I quietly approach to the bird that sat on the branch, and I take the photograph of it carefully without scaring the bird away. I focus on the bird that is surrounded by the branches by zoom in at 55 mm. I don’t want the photo has so much light, which I want it to be natural light as possible (f18). The shutter speed is 800 to avoid the shaking and avoid blur on the bird. I want some of the shadows to be seen especially the bird because there is the depth of the branches where the bird is far from me.
Mind Trick (7A-2) - The mind trick art inspires me because it takes the brain to work harder as to figure out what is there and what else is there. My idea is to have the photo to exercise the brain to see things more and be able to tell the difference in the picture. I photograph this picture that is already there. I zoom out at 18 mm, and I have the camera to be close to the ground. I use the shutter speed at 200 to avoid shaking. I focus on the background than the foreground to see the details of the light, shadows, and colors.
Art is Significant (7B-1) - It comes to my mind when I go to an art museum, I only look at the artworks, and people are invisible because the artworks emphasize the work. See the artworks more than the people inspire me because when I look at them, the people are invisible. I stand more than 6 feet away from a security guard guy and the artworks. I zoom in at 55 mm to make it look like I stand closer to the security guard guy and the artworks. I use f5.6 to have more light because it is inside and the lights are not too bright. Shadows are going on from different directions, and the colors vibrate. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the artworks are more focus than a security guard guy. Everything is already there; no staged set up.
Look Beyond The Mirror (7B-2) - This photo inspires me because I see the mirror that has the paint of neon colors with words. I don’t see the mirror itself, but see the words that describe the meaning beyond the phrase. To me, it says as “When looking in the mirror constantly, you are not able to achieve the things you want by keep looking at the mirror. The mirror is more of the imagination. The only way to achieve the goals is to do it and keep going until successful without looking at yourself in the mirror.” My idea for this picture is to show the mirror is invisible to show the truth. This artwork is already there. I stand less than 6 feet away from it, and I take the picture at f4.5 because of the indoor light. I frame the piece of work hanging on the wall. There is a shadow below the mirror. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the work especially the colors.
Outdoor Meet Underwater (7C) - This picture inspires me because surrealism art is the type of imagination or the fantasy world. Sometimes, I imagine things in my mind that I know they are not real in reality. My idea for this is to show what it is like to have outdoor flower and insect living under the water. I take the photograph of the tree flower and the bee and add to the underwater from the internet. I also add the honeycomb from the web and add it as well. There is a lot of adjustments to this photo such as the colors, size, and lightness.

There are no easy fixes nor can business as usual continue, if humankind is to reduce the climate footprint of global agriculture while intensifying farming to meet rising food demands, according to an international scientist who has studied agriculture and climate interactions for nearly three decades.
“Climate change is a threat multiplier, intensifying the challenges of population growth, food insecurity, poverty, and malnutrition,” said Clare Stirling, a scientist in the sustainable intensification program of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). “With almost 60% of global food production coming from rainfed agriculture and more than 650 million people dependent on rainfed farming in Africa alone, our food system is already highly vulnerable to changing climates.”
Stirling, who is CIMMYT’s liaison with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), believes that agriculture—including smallholder agriculture—can play a key role in meeting greenhouse gas emission targets, but only with combined and coordinated efforts that cross institutional and disciplinary boundaries.
CIMMYT contributes through a systems approach to developing and promoting climate smart technologies—including drought tolerant maize and wheat varieties, conservation agriculture, and precision nutrient and water management—as well as research on climate services, index-based insurance for farmers whose crops are damaged by bad weather, and data and models for greenhouse gas emissions in India and Mexico.

Seeking inspiration from stations of the cross
Christians take out processions to experience the pain and
sacrifice Christ went through
Ashutosh Shukla
DNA [Daily News and Analysis]
Saturday, Apr 07, 2012, City, MUMBAI, page 5.
At Pratirakhsa Nagar, Vakola, fashion designer Firoze Shakir
stands out in the thousands gathered to see the enactment of
crucifixion of Christ. A Muslim by faith, it is not his fancy
Malang wardrobe, but his bare feet in the scorching summer
afternoon, which draws attentions. Apparently, he is here to see
the "passion of Christ".
Though he is clothed and even sits in a truck sometimes, the
scorching ground does make it unbearable for his bare feet.
"Christ walked barefoot. And it is the physicality of this pain
that I wanted to go through. For me, walking barefoot is giving
back to the society, as taught in my convent school," says
Shakir.
The 40-year-old Shakir, who has studied in the Holy Name
High School at Colaba, has been covering the 'stations of cross',
as the enactment plays are called, for five years now. "I even
go for the Lalbaug Raja ganapati too and take pictures for
posting them on flicker for people to see and follow," he adds.
A self-confessed poet, Shakir wants to prove that walking
aside Christians helps him "appreciate beauty of other religions"
and "identify with their pain", thus making more human. "I like
the passion of the Christ. I see his pain like that of Imam
Hussein. As a poet I see a metaphor there," he says.
While Shakir attended the stations of cross to prove his
point of religious harmony, many others came to learn from the
Christ's sufferings and the forgiveness he preached. "The walk
is a small act of reverence I make for his sacrifice for us.
It's a day of prayers and we look to learn from him," said Judith
Daftary, a 39-year-old who had come alone all the way from Marol
alone.
The D'Souzas who had come with their entire family wanted
their children to learn from Christ. "I want my kids to know the
sufferings He went through," said Ivy D'Souza, 36-year-old Santa
Cruz resident and mother of two.

Cotton warp and wool tapestry, Humankind, 1988, interpretation of an original design by Sir Robin Philipson, woven by the Edinburgh Tapestry Company
Acquired by Glasgow Museums in 1992
The specific theme of this tapestry is apartheid, set within the landscape of South Africa and showing the love of a white boy for a black girl. It was woven by master weavers of the Edinburgh Tapestry Company, David Cochrane, Shirley Gatt, Harry Wright and Johnny Wright, to mark their 75th anniversary. The subject expresses the humanity evident in Philipson’s work throughout each phase of his long and successful career as both a teacher and artist. Glasgow City Council chose this work from its collection to send to the G8 Summit at Gleneagles in July 2005 as an expression of support for the aims of the 31st summit which focused on debt relief and aid for Africa.

There are two defining forces behind the majority of my days. The first is abandonment, in all its wonder, the things that humankind leaves behind. The second is running water. I feel pulled along the rush of streams and creeks, brooks of all description. Anything less than a river has a way of calling me out. Constrained passion, I consider it a journey worth making. High blood pressure, keep those banks tight and see what water makes of restriction. I've always tried to create with uncontained restraint. Pouring out my heart, but I write in bursts of twenty minutes. Give all you've got, but it's okay if you're short on endurance. There's a better depth of feeling found in a series of short sprints. Sure, maybe life is the marathon that ties them together – but I love living in a rush. Just got to make certain each step is sure.
