The feeling of insecurity, anxiety, fear, unspecified but inevitably approaching danger. Unnamed and unknown, slowly comes in our direction, consuming more and more space. Slides into every nook and cranny. It's getting closer...

Child labour in terms of begging is used as a profession by insecure group of people that forces children to beg. A child can earn maximum money by begging. They show burns on their faces and hands so they can earn more. As they grow older their earnings decrease, which gets most of them involve in robbery and prostitution. Child begging is the exploitation of children for money making reasons. Most of the people view it as way of relief for their hunger and unsatisfied needs. Earlier people believed that beggars were be physically disabled people who could not find work so they have to beg for their survival. However it has been noticed that nowadays that majority of them are physically normal children but due to their un-hygienic condition they may prone to get health problems. If we want to discourage child begging we need to see its impact on the child’s physical, educational, emotional health and psychological development.
Begging neglects all children’s basic rights of physical and educational needs. Physical needs include insufficient food resources, housing and hygiene. Educational needs include getting in a school at proper age. However to fulfill their basic needs that is food and to relieve their hunger and to get the physical strength children need money and they beg to earn money. We can say that poor families forcing their children to adopt the role of primary income earner but by doing this they are ignoring their childhood basic life needs such as schooling.
Child’s begging results in child’s emotional insecurity and fear of being threatened or hurt by older or stronger street peers. Begging puts children under pleasure and they loose confidence in their own ability to deal with any difficult situation. During this period the life of child beggars, is like a honeymoon period which is characterized by freedom and excitement, becoming a part of experimentation. Begging is exploitation besides the work they are doing. They are also abused physically, mentally and sexually by the people around them.
We as a part of this nation need to ensure that beggars are able to live successfully with better lifestyle and also they permanently get rid of begging.Beacuse as we already aware that child beggars are already at risk as they have short term and long term impact on their lives. Each one of us from this society has a responsibility to ensure that these vulnerable children are protected. If we are able to do so we should give them one to one support, provide positive alternate activities or work for earning. All community people and stake holders should jointly resist any form of child begging using their best resources. Being community health care workers we should organize awareness programs for the community people especially sensitizing the parents regarding children rights and growth of development. We also need to work with the NGO’s with the consensus of community leaders. to identify their basic needs and its alternative solutions which can help them in growing children’s quality life, specially the child beggars need to provide education, professional training, food and accommodation so that they become useful citizens of our country.

The lone security guard in the building grew more agitated the closer we got. He reminded me of our neighbors small dog running from window to window, barking at anyone threatening to walk past their house.

'Cry no more, feeling all alone and insecure
You have been going through these stages
Now it's time to turn the pages
We're gonna stand in line
And not give up but walk that road
That everybody goes
Through lights and shadows'

Insecurity afraid of things you cannot see.
Words become the image of the enemy.
You cannot dissect what is correct.

From Wiki:
Wellington Statue
The equestrian Wellington Statue, with a humorous traffic cone on its head, on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, Scotland, is one of the city's most iconic images. In 2011 the Lonely Planet guide included the monument to the Duke of Wellington in its list of the "top 10 most bizarre monuments on Earth", along with the Rocky Balboa statue in Žitište, Serbia and the Washington National Cathedral in the United States.[1]
Located outside the Gallery of Modern Art and forming an end to Ingram Street the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti, was erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s if not before. The statue is a Category-A listed monument and due to minor damage and the potential for injury that the placing of cones involves, the practice has been discouraged by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police.[2]

(Insecurities....)
Alright, so I've had this idea in my head all week. Finally got this picture up xD
Half of me feels ashamed I posted this, and saying all my feelings. I know lots of people from facebook check this. Please, dont look down on me otr think bad on me. I'm human, of course i dont have all the pieces put together. Confidence is something that I'm working on. Something I want to attain. Because "Confidence is beautiful." (Heidi, I tell myself that all the time. thankyou)
Alright, so this has been a really hard week for me.... Monday night I had a break down. I cried and cried over my body, my appearance. And this is probably one of the lamest reasons to break down but if your a teenage girl maybe you've been here too. Hey, YOU tell me how to be a teenage girl in 2011.
Just everywhere you go, on flickr, tumblr, facebook anywhere there are beautiful beautiful girls. Perfection. A perfection I can't find in myself. Honestly, what i struggle with the most is walking through the hallways, all the perfect pretty highschool girls.
I'm not pretty enough,
I'm not skinny enough,
I'm not tall enough,
my boobs are big enough,
I'm not beautiful.
ill admit I'm insecure.
but who isn't?
I sat there, crying. And i couldn't remember the last time someone told me i was beautiful.
agh, fuck society. <--- Yeah. I believe thats what put girls like me down this spiraling drain, cuz god knows I'm not alone.
There. I said it.
Anways what I want people to get from my self rambling is....
EVERY girl needs to be reminded theyre beautiful.
I thought this was so darn cute...the three of them stayed side by side the whole while I was there...I think they found comfort from their insecurities...I know how they feel!!
Actually I almost think that insecurity is not something that is crippling.... but somewhat stimulating. It almost forces one to do one's best. Seems to be that way for me...... without that insecurity it's too easy to get complacent.
On flickr I used to wonder why no-one tagged me, no-one wrote testimonials, no-one copied my photos, why folk didn't mark me as a contact in return, why I had so few views, comments etc. Ultimately this drove me on in my photgraphy & I feel leaps & bounds better than I did this time last year. I am now less bothered about the volume of comments / faves etc - partly because I get more now anyway, but more because I'd rather get some comments from a smaller set of specific photographers who I see & respect on flickr.
Luckily I still feel insecure about my photography... Thankfully there are still many photos I come across on flickr every day that make me go "Wow - I could never do that"
Without this, I'm not sure I'd have the drive to try & improve.... and I am hoping that this time next year I will look back again & feel slightly smug about having improved again.
Hmmm reading this back, it seems a complete load of crap... better post it quickly before I delete it

Noun, Slang:
A feeling of anxiety or insecurity over the possibility of missing out on something, as an event or an opportunity: "If I say no to a party invitation, I get a bad case of FOMO."
I have seen this so many times and not just while cruising and not just teenagers or young people.
I've seen a father at Disneyland on his laptop while his kids were running around like little terrors and his wife stood by looking both helpless and hopeless.
I've seen people in the theater who have to check their phone every few seconds, afraid they'll miss the latest tweet. People afraid that they'll miss out on something and they never realize that what they're missing out on is life.
Pretty sad to think that so many people are so conditioned that they can't disconnect, not even for a minute.
I'd like to take a moment and use this shot as a visual safety tip for everyone who's read this far down. People often wonder how others can get their identity or passwords stolen and this is one way. Think about it the next time you're in the checkout line at the store and you whip out your card to pay. Does the person behind you have their cellphone out? Can you be sure they're not snapping a picture of your card or password? It happens more than you'd like to think and you'll never know till the bill arrives.
You're welcome!
This picture was taken a very very very VERY long time ago.

in the end, everyone ends up alone.
losing her, the only one

“To your service…”
I don’t know what the situation means.
I am confused, a bit weird.
I feel insecure, somehow unsafe.
I would like to have someone telling me what it’s all about, or what to do next.
“To your service...”
Whose?
“I don’t know…”

Psychology:
Sometimes I feel this way... a bit weird, unsafe and insecure. I am looking for someone who tells me what to do...
These feelings are motivated by B1.
B1 looks for A1 - a leader.
A1 motivates me to lead, to be brave and I have the charisma fo make people feel save under my protection.
I created this picture to give you a glimps of the feelings I have when I am confused in a certain situation and just don't know what to do next.

Falls Psychologie interessiert:
B1 – Verunsicherung – Ängstlichkeit – Dienstbereitschaft – Unterwürfigkeit – Anpassung – Chaos – Unwissenheit – Mutlosigkeit
Die oben beschriebenen Phänomene gehören zur Motivationsenergie B1.
Gegensatz:
A1 – Sicherheit – Tapferkeit – Mut – Wille zum Sieg – Dominanzstreben

Self Portrait.
When we say we look to find equality in our world, our society, how do we really go about it? Do we go to a picture of a curvy woman and say “she is absolutely stunning”, or do we say “that’s what a real body looks like”? Do we go to a picture of a skinny woman and say “she is absolutely stunning” or do we say “what a sexy body”? When we say these things, directed towards making one type of person feel confident instead of the actual person in the picture, what else are we creating?
I’m here to share with you what it’s like to be a girl who is constantly battling to gain weight, and understands what it is to feel judged every day by society for being “too small”. This starts with multimedia and how it depicts what is the most beautiful vs. the ugliest and how people, like you and myself, respond with our personal opinions. I personally see curvy women to be the most beautiful of body types, as everything about a curvy woman looks perfect in my eyes. Some people would agree, and some people would disagree - everyone is wired to see beauty in their own unique perspective. That being said, I love all women and think all women are beautiful - no matter how they look. We are compared to shapes such as the hour-glass, rectangle, triangle - it doesn’t matter what shape you have I think you are beautiful. The question is, when it comes down to us appreciating one body type, or speaking up for them, are we all fighting for equality in the views of all women’s bodies, or are we comparing to make one body look better over the other? When I hear about women who are insecure about being bigger, it breaks my heart. Like I said, in my eyes, they are perfect, and for them to see themselves any other way is hard for me to understand. Just as it would be for them to understand what it’s like to be in my shoes. But when I read the comments that are posted to boost the confidence in these women, it becomes incredibly easy to see where their insecurity comes from. Not because the comments are made to bash these women, but because they are made to bash women of the opposite stature:
Ask Men Posted: “Forget the skeletal, sickly girls who pass as fashion models these days. A true man knows that real beauty isn’t found in a size zero. A growing number of plus-size models are redefining what society considers beautiful, and the heroin addict-looking supermodels of today could soon find their jobs in jeopardy.” - Miles Harvey.
I don’t know about you, but I believe all women - whether they look as sickly as I do no matter what I do to try to gain weight, have an “average” body weight/shape, or are curvy and large, are just bigger without the curves, are boxy and anorexic looking, workout every day, never worked out a day in their lives, have tiny hips and large breasts/vise versa - all women should know that they are beautiful in the bodies that they have and should never feel the need to change for anyone but themselves. But this isn’t the case. In our fight for equality, we bash one side over the other in order to feel better about our preferences. To make our family or friends feel better about their size/lack thereof, and let them know that they are beautiful no matter what. This shouldn’t apply to one body, or two, or three. There are billions of women in this world and we are not made the same, so why should multimedia say that skinny is sexy? That being big or curvy is sexy? That any one thing is what should be depicted for the world to see because it is the “best” or “most beautiful”.
To any man or woman who has struggled with their weight/shape/appearance in any way or form, I would love to capture you and your story free of charge to help bring awareness of all issues regarding confidence and body types. *Must be in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia*
Thanks for your time - Annika Ekstrom

i found god on the corner of 1st and amistad
where the west was all but won
all alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "where've you been?" he said, "ask anything."
where were you, when everything was falling apart?
all my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
and all I needed was a call that never came
to the corner of 1st and amistad
lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
why'd you have to wait? where were you? where were you?
just a little late, you found me, you found me.
but in the end everyone ends up alone
losing her, the only one who's ever known
who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be
no way to know how long she will be next to me...

A young, insecure youth sitting cross-legged with a flute. The love for the human being radiates from the sculpture. Sculptor Lidi Buma - van Mourik Broekman always made her sculptures with great affection. It is known who was the model for the 'Flute player' from 1942: the now deceased John Breed.
John Breed was a purely Dutch boy, but his burgeoning male body could perfectly serve as an example for Buma's depiction of the Javanese boy Si Bengkok. With the statue in the Zuiderpark, Buma honoured writer and journalist Augusta de Wit (1864-1939), in particular her best-known and most successful novella 'Orpheus in the Dessa' from 1903. One of the main characters is the poor Javanese boy Si Bengkok. Just like Orpheus, he plays beautiful, enchanting music. With this, the native boy lures the Dutch engineer Willem Bake. A friendship develops that ultimately costs Si Bengkok his life, just as Orpheus' love for Eurydice cost him his life.

"Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body."
-Devon Aoki

Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game. And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame?
Experimenting with photoshop once again. However, flickr sharpening ruined this :(
So this week's topic was 'Insecurities'. Firstly i thought i would capture about what i didn't like about myself or something like that, but then my stepfather said that insecurities, from his eyes, are things that surround us that we are not happy with at all. So here it is, the final idea inspired by him and her. :)
If there's any mistake or any piece of advice you would like to give me, please do, i'm new at this, so constructive comments are really important.
Plus, i really need to learn how to make expansions! Photoshop tutorials, i'm on my way.
So how have you been guys?
I won't be going to school until Monday :D it has given us holidays, thank God.
And i got a Beatles poster<3 love it. My wall is now messed up since we're going to print some stuff for the last class of the photography course and we'll take advantage of it by printing all kinds of pictures.
My wall will be full of pictures! :D
Tito greets you. He is sleeping with a heart-shaped cushion he always tries to take out from my bed. <3
Don't forget to comment a topic for next week!
sajdklghdfghadlfkg
