Some of those dictators around the world, that is, the few who are still hanging on, are so crass and arrogant. For instance, they decree that posters and statues of El Numero Uno be placed or displayed EVERYWHERE, and be there ALL THE TIME. How ludicrous.

If I were in such a position, that would not be the case. Not at all. Well, maybe just a few posters would be OK, here and there. And only on my birthday. (Incidentally, it's a ways down the road, so there's still time.)

The crusader doorway is marked by a pointed arch that was reduced to this small size in the Ottoman period to keep the carts of looters from entering.

I had missed it because I had to work.

 

Today Canada said "I am sorry". I watched the replays tonight and I could feel humility, joy and sadness among others. I thought about the Seven Grandfather Teachings that guide the way one should live and how more than ever we need live our lives with Honesty, Truth, Humility. We need Love, Respect. We need Wisdom and Bravery for our children and for our parents, for our grandchildren and for our grandparents. We needed this statement of understanding for Generations past and Generations to come. It is one of the most moving moments to watch someone say "sorry" mjinwezi.

 

I am humbled to say the least.

  

What's the connection to this shot? None really. I spent about an hour shooting this while I watched the replays from the House of Commons. This is 12 shots at 5 minutes F/4 plus one dark frame extraction. I got an Intervalometer in the mail today and had to get it running while my family slept!

...between genuine humility, which is a type of modesty, and a lack of confidence. They are not the same thing at all, although many confuse them. This may explain, in part, why today humility is often thought of as a weakness, rather than as an indication of inner strength, especially in the context of business and professional life."

Tempera and gold leaf on panel

This small panel offered its owner intimate contemplation of the Virgin in her many aspects. Nursing the infant Christ, she reminds the viewer that she is mankind's compassionate intercessor. Her crown points to her role as Queen of Heaven, while the brooch and rays of light surrounding her signal her apocalyptic role. The artistic inventiveness exident in this combination of elements is typical of devotional imagery in this period.

In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.

 

This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.

Humility. One small word with a big meaning. I guess all the things I must learn summarizes to this, does it?
