Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all that I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
-You Found Me, The Fray
-- I'm single. -_-
“There was a time when we would cultivate the farms. The river would rise and flow and we survived.”
Shalle Hassan Abdirahman, a 53-year-old Somali refugee, used to plant tobacco, maize, tomatoes and sesame along the riverbanks near his family home. Now, he says, the river is dry and there is no rain. With al Shabaab banning him from growing tobacco and extorting money, despite his crops failing, Shalle and his family were forced to flee, arriving at this UNHCR reception centre in Dollo Ado, Ethiopia after a three-day journey from Lower Juba. ; Worsening drought, and violence from armed extremist group al Shabaab, has caused more than 5,000 Somalis to seek refuge in Ethiopia so far this year – four times the number that crossed the border in 2018. The extremists have struck fear into the hearts of many and the climate emergency has fuelled a cycle of vulnerability for pastoralists and farmers. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 2 million people are at risk of severe hunger as Somalia faces its worst harvest since the 2011 famine that internally displaced 1.5 million people. With al Shabaab extorting money, forcing residents to grow crops that fail and forcibly recruiting child soldiers, families increasingly have no choice but to flee.

wrapped your face
with dreams
closed your eyes
and denied the tr-
you live in memories
reinventing your life
night by night
but one day
memories will be shattered
dreams won't protect
anymore
and one day
you'll have to
show your face
admit yourself
and learn that life
is not worth
any loony
overprotection of fear
Please join us for a comprehensive discussion exploring innovative solutions to combat wildlife poaching and insecurity in Africa. Congressman Ed Royce, Senator Jeff Flake, and Professor Judi Wakhungu will provide keynote addresses. Ensuing panels will examine the latest policy initiatives and proposals aimed at combating wildlife crime in Africa and remedying its ill-effects on states and communities; analyze the human and international security challenges posed by the poaching and trafficking crisis; and highlight successful on-the-ground models for conservation and security.

This was created with the intention to look at body language and how our insecurities are read by our peers. The stance of the figure is very powerful and dominant which is counter balanced by the very private and unconfident positioning of the figure arms behind the back.
This piece was created with Oil paints on MDF board. The piece is 170cm X 120cm.
Everyone has insecurities. And everyone thinks something about them could be improved. What people don’t always know is that there is no wrong way to have a body. Our bodies are precious gifts given to us and they should be treasured. They should not be hated and put down. We were created in a perfect image and we should love what we were given. We should have self-love and conquer the fear of our bodies.
The photos in my series are showing the insecurities that people have and how when people see them they don’t seem like insecurities. It’s showing how we should realize that our insecurities are actually beautiful and unique and should never be changed. Throughout my series, there are photos of different body parts. The body parts give unique shape and in some of the photos the body parts give interesting line and texture. In my first photo, the position of the hands and face shows how she is insecure about herself and wants to change. However, the viewers see a beautiful woman. The second photo is showing how a girl wants to become skinnier. The shape of her hands on her stomach helps to create an intense mood of disappointment, showing her want to change, even though what we see is a girl who is already skinny. The third, fourth, and fifth picture have a lot of interesting shape in them. The shape of the figure shows the unique features of the body parts. It also really enhances the beauty of these body parts, which are usually insecurities. Overall, my series uses shape, texture, and lines to enhance the body and show how they are beautiful and unique.

This is for my final project in my Photography II class that I took last school year. I knew that I wanted to do a series comparing the human body to a skeleton, focusing on how inside, we are all the same, so one cannot see stereotypes or insecurities reflected upon a skeleton.
23 February 2017, Freetown - The second edition of the Regional Overview of Food Insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (2016) reveals that some 153 million people, representing about 26 percent of the population above 15 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa, suffered from severe food insecurity in 2014/15.

this is a project for my photo class to "shed light on things unseen" using an external flash.
i asked each person to find a word or phrase that describes a part within themselves that's not typically seen or apparent.
comments and critiques always appreciated!
I am artistically frustrated. I have vague concepts floating around in my head of things I want to do photographically, but then I can't bring them to a finish or even verbalize them. I'm very impatient when it comes to 'ruts' and I get very full of self-loathing when my creativity seems to vanish. That angst then makes me want to throw my camera out of the window because it makes me think that maybe I never had any creativity or vision in the first place. I'm not really getting good ideas for other people, so I've been procrastinating booking lots more people for the project, but then I feel like I will give up on the whole project if I don't keep shooting... it's 2:07 a.m. and my brain is mush. Jason was my 'tripod' while I tried to think of creative ways to photograph myself that didn't make me want to give up... this was the closest thing I could come up with that was interesting to me, but even this falls short of that thing I can't explain to myself. Maybe if I could figure out what it is I am striving to do, I could do it, but until then I just fumble through faking I have a clue about who I am as a photographer.
