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."

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?

In a reflection on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, first published in the Farm Street Church newsletter in 2015, Fr. Tony Nye SJ highlights the humility and ‘unselfish dedication’ which were the manifestations of God’s Love in the incarnation of His Son:
“Over the Christmas period, we have been thinking about Our Lord’s humility as he humbled himself to share in our humanity. We have seen him as a little baby, poor and in a manger or as a refugee fleeing to the safety of Egypt in his mother’s arms. He is Son of God yet as a baby he depends completely on Mary and Joseph for food and warmth, shelter and security.
That humility continues to shine in today’s feast. He comes to the River Jordan many years later, hidden years at Nazareth, working with Joseph as a carpenter. He comes to John the Baptist to be baptises along with many other people. You wouldn’t have been able to pick him out. It is a humble way of showing himself to be a servant (as the prophets foretold), humbly beginning his ministry of preaching and healing. Although he is completely without sin, he stands among sinners, as one of them, accepting with them a ritual of repentance, though he has nothing to repent of. As well as being a sign of his humility, baptism is also a sign of his commitment to the Father on behalf of sinners, a commitment to his mission of salvation. As we hear in the first reading from the prophecy of Isaiah:’ Faithfully he brings true justice; he will neither waver or be crushed until true justice is established on earth.’ That will be through his sacrifice on the cross, another sort of baptism. Before that takes place he will say: ‘There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed‘(Lk.12.50). Just as he was plunged into the waters of the Jordan, so he will be plunged into a painful and ignominious death.
Christ as humble and committed Servant is summed up in the Preface of today’s Mass, which is addressed to God the Father:
‘So that through the voice that came down from heaven we might come to believe in your Word dwelling among us, and by the Spirit’s descending in the likeness of a dove we might know that Christ your Servant has been anointed with the oil of gladness and sent to bring the good news to the poor.’
Each one of us was anointed when we were baptised, to share with Our Lord as servants. After the water was poured three times on our heads, special oil of chrism was applied by the priest or deacon with these words: ‘As Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet and King, so may you live always as a member of his body, sharing everlasting life.’
What does it mean to me to live as a member of Christ’s body and be a servant as he was? What does it mean to me to promise to live and share in Our Lord’s unselfish dedication and commitment in my everyday life?”
