I'd be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of the iPhone (yet another phone to enrtich the carriers who charged 100% markups if not more), or even the iMac (Air, or otherwise - who cares, really).
But the iPad - well, that's something else entirely. I've always been a fan of tablet PCs, as clunky as they originally were - I owned one of the first Acer TravelMates and it was astounding. And I've played with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the Dell, and the BlackBerry - and yes, well. Nice, but oh-so-chunky.
Then I was lucky enough to win an iPad 2 - against my better judgement, probably - and all I can say is "wow". IMHO it will take the rest many months, if not years, to catch up with what Steve Jobs did here, lack of flash memory and that odious iTunes notwithstanding.
It has changed my perception of what tablet computing should be all about, and in my own little, little way, I am glad that Mr Jobs' life was extended just to bring this little beauty to market - and to put the other players on their mark.
Plus to have a five-year-old who thinks this is the best thing since, well, disposable nappies. What can I say.
This is really just quite brilliant; turn your photographs into Polaroids, and no cumbersome or expensive Photoshop plug-ins or edits to mess with.
Shake it as it "develops" and see what happens.
Over a 4 month period in 2014, SAA-uk partnered with the Echo Centre (part of the Hamara group) to deliver the Khushi Project. This project, funded by Time to Change, used art as a tool to empower people with mental health problems to share their experiences and challenge stigma.
These photographs document a celebration evening, where we were joined by the wonderful Shaheen Khan, the UK's leading Ghazal and Sufi singer. Shaheen was accompanied by Sunil Jadhav on Harmonium and Alok Verma on Tabla/Dholak. Some of the project participants also shared their art work and poetry.
Supported by Leeds Inspired.

This is an image i am using for a project I am doing in college. Which is to do with Mental Health advertising.
The conversation about mental health, depression, and suicide needs to be one that we continue having. Luckily, I have been able to cross paths with some wonderful organizations throughout my life that focus on reducing the stigma surround mental illness (Active Minds) and reaching out to help others in crisis (Crisis Text Line). The FaceIt Foundation works with men to understand and overcome depression.
My newest painting will be available at the FaceIt Foundation’s silent auction this weekend!
The event begins Friday night at The Pourhouse in Minneapolis and will continue on Saturday at the Minneapolis Farmers Market Annex.

This sling was inspired by the Semicolon project. If you look closely, you'll see that the paisley in the sling are snuggly semicolons -- maybe mama and baby, maybe daddy and baby, maybe an aunt or uncle or grandparent. For a family who has been touched by suicide or a parent who has wrestled with suicidal ideation and/or attempts, this sling serves as a reminder of strength -- the semicolon to pause where a period could have ended the sentence.
