My family owns cargo vessels and some of those carry crushed stones rubbles which are essential ingredient for making concretes or building structures. I been hearing about this place Bholagonj for a while now, but sitting in the corporate office, I never had a chance to see all of the routes our cargos take. Few weeks back I had a chance to visit Bholaganj, and what an amazing place is this! Your 1st glance of this place would make you wonder how “hell” would look like if this isn’t it! There are tons of stones, hard working underpaid labors, grim faces of the children, smoke coming out from the machines of the stone crushers, the smell of tired bodies will fill up your senses. Accidents are random and frequent and yes during rainy season, it became a tradition that many people get killed by lightning strikes. This place sits near the border of India; the stones roll out from the Indian side of the mountains naturally with the river water. People collect it and sell it. There are countless number of companies operating this business around the clock employing thousands of labors. Needless to say, many of them are women and kids.
The day was extremely hot and humid, there wasn’t any gentle breeze. A bleak patch of foggy air blocked the clear view gave me very unwelcomed feeling. I put on my gears to get some shots in this dusty area confusing myself where to begin. The imaginary unpleasant came to reality when the border petrol came to me in a very rude manner and simply asked me to leave. They didn’t want a guy with a camera hanging around in their territory. I couldn’t shoot much, had to leave. Few days later these border petrol guards did a mutiny and killed 50 army officers which made international news.
I will go back again with a tent and spend couple of days there when things cool down. In this picture, the woman was carrying those stones from nearby boat and dumping those on the ground. She will work all day long to get $1.

The Five-Continent Museum (formerly the State Museum of Ethnology) is housed in a building that was originally intended for the Bavarian National Museum. It was designed by Eduard Riedel in the Perpendicular English Gothic architectural style and built between the years 1859 and 1865.
Eduard Riedel (February 1, 1813 – August 24, 1885) was a German architect and Bavarian government building officer. Among other things he is known for his contribution to the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle.
Riedel was born in Bayreuth. He began to study architecture in Bayreuth and graduated in Munich, the Bavarian capital, in 1834.
Riedel's first project was the supervision of the new development of the Ludwigstraße Damenstift (convent) in Munich.
This was followed by the residence and palace garden for King Otto of Greece in Athens, where he was court architect until he returned to Munich in 1850.
Here he completed the Propylaea jointly with Leo von Klenze. From 1852 until 1857, Riedel was a professor at the polytechnic institute. In 1853 he was appointed superintendent of the royal building authorities and in 1872 he became the leading court architect.
His works include the Wolfram von Eschenbach Monument in Wolframs-Eschenbach, numerous fountains in the garden of Schleissheim Palace, the Beamtenreliktanstalt and Bavarian National Museum in Munich, as well as numerous drafts and concepts such as for the Cistercian monastery in Mehringen, a new university and a coin. He was also responsible for the restoration of numerous palaces.
Riedel died in Starnberg.

The Poet clings on to the Aarhus University wall... It's a perfect metaphor for the human condition. Attempting something seemingly impossible, ill prepared while the elements have at you. :)
Mural by Victor Ash aka @victor.ash.studio for Street Art for Mankind, seen at 1117 Prairie Street in Houston, Texas.
The sponsor states: “Human Rights” highlights Houston’s strong commitment to ensuring freedom, peace and social justice for all, as wells as its constant efforts to fight human trafficking. It comes in support of the @unitednations ’ Sustainable development goal 16 that encourages us to develop peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice for all and build effective and inclusive institutions. It also supports the SDG 8.7, dear to our heart that asks to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labor, end modern slavery and human trafficking. This powerful symbol depicts, Amy, a Latino girl from the community bareback and barefoot riding a wild horse as she whips her lasso above her head. As the new lone ranger of Houston she harnesses freedom and makes sure Houston stays a safe place.

Amanhã
Será um lindo dia
Da mais louca alegria
Que se possa imaginar
Amanhã
Redobrada a força
Pra cima que não cessa
Há de vingar
Amanhã
Mais nenhum mistério
Acima do ilusório
O astro-rei vai brilhar
Amanhã
A luminosidade
Alheia a qualquer vontade
Há de imperar
Amanhã
Está toda a esperança
Por menor que pareça
Que existe é pra vicejar
Amanhã
Apesar de hoje
Ser a estrada que surge
Pra se trilhar
Amanhã
Mesmo que uns não queiram
Será de outros que esperam
Ver o dia raiar
Amanhã
Ódios aplacados
Temores abrandados
Será pleno, será pleno
Caetano Veloso

Stranger #32 – Katucia
The streets were busy on that Saturday, I saw Katucia in the crowd, I walked to her and asked her if she’d let me take her picture, completely oblivious to the fact that she was with friends. I got tunnel vision when I spotted her and hadn’t noticed she was part of a group. I asked her if she preferred yellow or red as a colour for a background and she said yellow, but red was closer and she didn’t have much time so she changed her mind. Katucia didn’t have much time, she’d sent her friend away, telling them she’d catch up with them.
Katucia works in human resources at the Caen jail. She helps the civil servants who work there with the specificities that can occur in jail. “I help them when they’re in trouble. I do what a social worker does at times. The most gratifying is helping people, being in touch with people.”
Thank you very much Katucia!

Les rues étaient bondées le samedi où j’ai rencontré Katucia, je l’ai aperçu dans la foule. Je l’ai abordé et lui ai a demandé si elle m’autoriserait à la prendre en photo, sans avoir remarqué qu’elle était avec ses amies. Ma vision avait rétrécit lorsque je l’avais aperçu et je n’avais pas vu qu’elle faisait parti d’un groupe. J’ai demandé à Katucia si elle préférait un fond rouge ou jaune, elle m’a dit jaune mais le fond rouge était plus près et elle n’avait pas beaucoup de temps elle a donc choisi le rouge. Katucia n’avait pas beaucoup de temps. Elle avait dit à ses amies de partir sans elle, qu’elle les rattraperait.
Katucia travaille dans les ressources humaines à la maison d’arrêt de Caen. Elle aide les agents qui y travaillent avec les spécificités qu’il peut y avoir dans une maison d’arrêt. « J’aide les agents quand ils sont en difficultés, je fais un peu assistante sociale. Le plus gratifiant c’est d’aider les gens, le contact avec les gens. »
Merci beaucoup Katucia

HUMAN / DIGITAL: a symbiotic love affair’ is an exhibition on contemporary artists who take their inspiration from the Internet and digital technology.
Here the stone carver artfully substitutes 'departed' for the word 'died' but then goes on to tell us that poor Jacob was "Killed by a fall from a building." The verse reads:
Let this vain world ingage nomore (sic)
Behold the gaping tomb
It bids us seize the present hour
Tomorrow death may come.
Hardly inspirational, about as bleak as it gets really. I worked this stone from several angles to capture its darkness.
As a child I often wondered why I was me and not someone else which might possibly explain why the day eventually came when I changed who I was. But I can still ask myself why I'm transgendered when most people wouldn't even dream of it. as for normal people it's definately off-limits. I do think we all are different and have a purpose in life, and whereas most of you have wives and a family fate has denied me the social bonds you all enjoy and I'm out here on my own like the wilderbeast and zebras on the velt watching out for cheetahs and lions. Of course because I have no ties it means I can be different without hurting others and that makes it more than okay. So I don't think I am doing anything wrong as someone has to be Jojo don't they and sitting at the back of the class dreaming of fabulous creatures that young boy might as well be me because I put my hand up first.
Horses are hard to photograph. I generally don't take pictures of places, things, or animals if I can help it, but just before I took this shot of Billie I was trying to figure out how to shoot her riding her horse. You can't really plan for that, especially if it's been well over a decade since you've been next to a horse. Those things are huge!
Billie says I did ok, and I like most of the photos I took, but if you had me choose one thing to photograph for the rest of my life it's always going to be people. Just Polaroids and human expressions for me until my cameras don't work anymore.
