I was out in San Diego with a friend last week and came across this shot. This building is right across from the Marriot by the pier area, anyone know what it's called? I've noticed that the more HDR I do the more normalized the photos become.
The Normalizing Machine is an interactive installation presented as an experimental research in machine-learning. It aims to identify and analyze the image of social normalcy. Each participant is asked to point out who looks most normal from a line-up of previously recorded participants. The machine analyzes the participants’ decisions and adds them to its aggregated algorithmic image of normalcy.

We may have mentioned that it was supposed to be a normalizing weekend this weekend, but actually, what we did today was far from ordinary. Yeah, those are christmas presents in the background there. FOR REALS! EEEEEEEEEE! Santa has started dropping off gifts for us to spend this month waging psychological warfare with each other.
In addition to presents, we had a highly productive morning, making 12 jars of pomegranate-champagne jelly, five jars of carrot cake jam, cutting almost the entirety of Pookie's new kaleidescope quilt, and whipping up a batch of Chicago cocktails. Mmm... it's good, normalizing living, yo.

My Concerned Photographer photo series is based around rape culture. I think these photos capture the experience of a rape or sexual assault survivor.
Rape Culture creates an environment in which rape and sexual violence against women have been normalized and/or excused by the media/popular culture. Rape Culture develops a society that disregards women’s rights and safety through the use of misogynistic language and objectification of women’s bodies (Marshall University). Despite this definition, rape culture is not limited to the victim blaming or slut shaming that many women face. Rape culture is also the assumption that men can’t get raped.
Each of the photos I took for this assignment tell the story of my experience as a rape and sexual assault survivor. I tried to tell the story from the night it all started, through the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis, to the struggles with addiction, depression, and anxiety. PTSD can manifest in many different ways, in my case it took form as a sense of paranoia or heightened anxiety. I used double exposures to show the dissociation people who suffer from PTSD often feel. For me, dissociation usually feels like looking at myself from outside my body or things are moving too fast or too slow; I tried to convey that disconnect with double exposures because I feel like those could go either way in terms of expressing fast or slow movement and since they’re self portraits, they are literally a way to view myself from outside my physical body.
Victims of sexual assault are 3 times more likely to suffer from depression, 6 times more likely to suffer from PTSD, 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol, 26 times more likely to abuse drugs, and 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide (RAINN). According to these statistics, drug abuse or addiction is one of the larger risks sexual assault survivors face so I chose to focus on that rather than alcohol abuse or suicidal ideations.
1 in 6 American women will be the victim of rape or sexual assault at some point during her life. I chose to represent this with 6 apples. In my mind, apples represent a sense of innocence because they bring to mind elementary school, where you might bring an apple to your teacher, or Snow White eagerly biting into the poison apple the evil queen offered to her. So if we view people as apples, it’s safe to say that most little girls don’t grow up thinking “There is a 16% chance I will be sexually assaulted someday.” However, there is a 1 in 6 chance and I want to make sure that information is out there so it can inspire people to work towards change.
The final photo in this Concerned Photography series is a self portrait. The background is made up of words that I, and many other rape and sexual assault victims, have heard far too many times. I chose to use these negative words and phrases as a background to symbolize leaving them in the past and moving forward into a society where people think before they speak and don’t tear each other down for their appearance, situation, or experiences.
I am really happy with how this whole series turned out, particularly this self portrait. I think it tells an important story and I find it quite empowering to see the words in the background and know they are in the past.
Power 4 Periods (@power4periods) is a club at Downey High School that is dedicated to normalizing menstruation and providing menstrual products to any student in need. Our club consists of about 15 high school students - grades 9th - 12th - and started as a project in Ms. Simpson's English 11 class. We were challenged to present a project that would address a major problem in our society and we wanted to discuss pink tax and the taboo around menstrual cycles. This project evolved into a club that is now recognized school-wide. We hold an annual feminine care drive to gather products for local homeless women in our community. Currently, we are working to fund feminine care kits for each of our classrooms on campus and we hope to spread those kits into the middle schools in our district.
The 2020 EPI waste management issue category includes the controlled solid waste indicator. All indicators and composite indices in the EPI are normalized as a 0–100 proximity-to-target score, with 100 representing "at target" and 0 being furthest from the target.
A ticket to the U.S.-China table tennis matches that preceded renewed antiwar demonstrations at the University of Maryland campus April 17, 1972.
The matches held across the United States were the first cultural exchanges between the People’s Republic of China and the US and a step toward normalizing relationships between the two counties.
See set description for more detail.

What I brought out today is a mortar grinder this something that has been normalized in my family because every cookout we always take it out to make a Central American salsa chirmol. Now no matter how heavy the bowl is we will take it out and make the salsa in it. A cookout is not the same when we don't have the salsa out in the bowl. Most people might try to make the salsa a different way but if we have a cookout at our house or most of my aunts houses it will most likely involve in some form the use of the grinder.
Impariamo a normalizzare i corpi normali. Basta stereotipi, accettiamo ogni corpo, nella sua forma artistica. Ogni corpo è arte, ogni curva, ogni forma, ogni dettaglio, sono arte.
Pimple Eraser contains Glycolic (AHA) to normalize the exfoliation process and increase moisturizing of your skin. These processes generally slow down with age and exposure to the sun. Glycolic dissolves the cellular “cement “ that binds dead cells together and slows living cells from reaching the skin surface. As the dry outer layer is exfoliated by Glycolic~ younger, healthier, smoother-looking skin is revealed.

Before the audio goes in for multi-tracking, I run it through some basic cleanup in Sound Studio. The usual is trimming, compression, and normalization. Tonight however I need a little more work thanks to the issues with the Hangout audio.
Puertorricans always has a machete at home. My uncle chopping trees and palms at my backyard after the hurricane.
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017 with sustained winds of 155mph (Category 4). The strongest storm to hit my country since 1928.
After one month, Puerto Rico is still in an emergency state. According to The Weather Channel, around 88% of the population doesn't have power at their homes and 1 million of the 3.4 million people who live here doesn't have potable water service. The goverment's death toll is 48, but we keep hearing the total could be hundreds. For example: people who didn't received medical attention at the right time as consequence of the telecommunications colapse. In my case, I didn't have cellphone service at my house until October 6. This problem hasn't been resolved at all; some areas doesn't have mobile network services.
We don't lose hope. We'll stand up again. We are fighters.

This photo uses shallow depth of field, high contrast, and black and white to get the viewers attention and to make them focus on what is in the very front of the image.
This image - a panorama composed of 3 oblique views of this art from 2005, was normalized using
