Trying to capture the experience of the extraordinary 'Hunger', in particular the monologue at the center of the film.
If you haven't seen it, it's an astonishing film following the film six weeks of Bobby Sands life, as played by Michael Fassbender and directed by Steve McQueen. Written by Edna Walsh and Steve McQueen.
The theme this week was hunger.
I researched hunger to get some ideas and noticed that the main type of image was starvation in 3rd world countries, although i think this is very important i wanted to show something that is perhaps more of an issue in the 'world' i live. Hunger means something different to everyone and i wanted to get across another perspective from which hunger can be an awful and painful thing, this doesnt show the pysical hunger of a 3rd world country but the mental side of it. I have used Photoshop to change the image to B&W and also show the food in colour to make it more obvious, i have played around with this, with and without the colour i felt it blended in too much without it.
The main thing for me at the moment is to learn how to use Photoshop so i learnt a new skill all by myself in showing both the colour and black and white:-)

17 October 2012, Rome, Italy - As part of celebrations for World Food Week, Hunger Run 2012 will take place on Sunday 21 October 2012 starting at 10:00 am. The event, formerly known as the Run for Food race, has been renamed to emphasize the Rome-based agencies common goal of eradicating hunger.
Hunger Run 2012 consists of a 10 km competitive race as well as a 5 km fun run (or walk) through the historic centre of Rome, starting on Viale delle Terme di Caracalla and ending at the Stadium, Terme di Caracalla, in front of FAO headquarters.
Filippo La Rosa, Diplomatic Advisor to the Mayor of Rome, opened the press conference with a message from Gianni Alemanno: “Roma Capitale is honoured to be a part of this initiative, along with the UN Rome-based Food Agencies (FAO, IFAD, WFP) and Bioversity International. This initiative is worthy of praise because it helps to keep attention on the tragedy that today still condemns almost 900 million people to suffer from hunger. On Sunday 21st October, on the occasion of the Hunger Run, I invite Rome to run through the streets of the capital, remembering that each of us, in his or her own small way, through participation and commitment, can make their own personal contribution to the fight against hunger and poverty.”
Hunger Run 2012 is joining forces with Crescita SMS Campaign – coordinated by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – to raise funds to improve the food and nutrition security of some of the most vulnerable people on our planet.
Valentina Vezzali, Olympic gold medal fencing champion, spokeperson for the Crescita campaign said: “I am proud to have joined this campaign because I am convinced that support for African women is the key to overcoming poverty. As an athlete, as a woman, as a mother, I believe that solidarity and international cooperation are urgently needed if we are to help women from countries where every day is a struggle to survive.”
Proceeds from the Hunger Run 2012 and the Crescita SMS Campaign will be donated to a field project in Kenya where FAO, IFAD, WFP and Bioversity International will be working with poor communities affected by drought and poor harvests.
From 21 to 28 October, you can donate 2 euros to the Crescita SMS Campaign by texting 45506 from your Tim, Vodafone, Wind, 3, Poste Mobile, CoopVoce or Noverca mobile phone. Alternatively, call 45506 from a landline (Telecom Italia, Fastweb, TeleTu) to donate 2 or 5 euros.
The run is being organized by Gruppo Sportivo Bancari Romani in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); the International Fund of Agricultural Development (IFAD); the World Food Programme (WFP); Bioversity International, and the FAO Staff Coop with the support of Expo Milano 2015, Roma Capitale and the Region of Lazio.
The initiative also enjoys the sponsorship of the Youth and United Nations Global Alliance (YUNGA), the United Nations Federal Credit Union (UNFCU), Acea and Federazione Italiana Atletica leggera (FIDAL).
A short multimedia presentation on HUNGER RUN 2012 was screened during the press conference. The link to the video is available here.

Imagine no need of opulence…
For the riches those we are…
It’s not hard to do…
No need for more, to make one poorer,
A feeling of a man for a man…
Imagine none of us…
Burning in the pain of hunger!!!
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one!!!
Imagine…

The Original Song:
Title: Hunger
A high key shot converted into monochrome...this child eats food from what he finds in the trash, a sad sight but true...
To raise awareness and support for the Horn of Africa, Rebecca Drouin decided to shave her head. Through media awareness she asked people to donate to the Horn of Africa and committed to shaving her head if she reached her goal. Rebecca met her goal and has raised $1,380 for CARE Canada, 200,000 grains of rice through FreeRice and educated people about hunger abroad. Rebecca was inspired by the Masai tribe from the Masai Mara in Kenya who use head shaving as a symbol of change and new beginnings. Photo credit: Jesse James Photography
