One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
It's always a matter of perception. Everything is.
When you see "Born to die", do you think it's being negative or fatalist because of the word "die" ?
For me, it's only truth: we're going to die, all of us, that's a fact. And accepting that fact helps understand how important it is to live life while you can, while you're alive. So as negative as the sentence may seem at first, it makes me very very happy.
Perception. :) (annnd a new tattoo on my arm as a reminder of that!)
Young people from Cheetwood Community Primary School in Manchester have helped launch Hate Crime Awareness Week with a performance of ‘Life as a refugee in a Manchester school, a play specially written for the event.
Greater Manchester is coming together to take a stand against hate crime as part of a week of action to raise awareness, challenge perceptions and promote tolerance and respect.
Young people from Cheetwood Community Primary School in Manchester helped launch this year’s Hate Crime Awareness Week with a powerful performance of ‘Life as a refugee in a Manchester school, a play specially written for the event.
Events will take place across all of Greater Manchester to raise awareness of hate crime, encourage reporting and bring communities together to challenge it. There will also be a hard-hitting radio campaign to challenge perceptions of what hate crime is and urge people to speak out.
This is the fifth annual Hate Crime Awareness Week, supported by police, local authorities, other partner and voluntary agencies, and communities.
This year, Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd has allocated £10,000 to each local authority area to support hate crime work in the community.
Tony Lloyd: “Hate crime destroys lives and divides communities. It has no place in Greater Manchester – a proud, diverse region that welcomes people who stand for hope, not for hate, no matter who they are, where they’re from, who they love or what they believe.
“This week is a powerful show of what can be achieved when we all stand together against hatred and prejudice, bringing communities together to celebrate our diversity and encourage tolerance and respect.”
Councillor Nigel Murphy, Manchester City Council executive member for neighbourhoods, said: “Hate crime can take many forms and anyone could potentially be a victim. However, as this week shows, no matter what shape it takes hate crime is never acceptable and has no place in our modern multicultural city.
“This week of activity allows us to highlight the problems created by hate crime and, just as importantly, celebrate diversity and understanding - demonstrating that together we can form a stronger and happier society that will not tolerate prejudice of any type.”
GMP Chief Superintendent Wasim Chaudhry, said: “Everyone has the right to feel safe and we all have a responsibility to stand against hatred and discrimination.
“Over the last year, 5,250 hate crimes or incidents were reported to GMP, 227 of those were carried out on public transport of one form or another across Greater Manchester. This year we are launching a transport campaign alongside various local authorities and partnerships to make sure people feel safe on public transport across Greater Manchester.
“GMP works hard to raise the awareness of these types of offences all year round – not just in Hate Crime Awareness Week – and we recognise there is more work to be done.”
Throughout the week British Transport Police, who are responsible for policing the railway, will be at Manchester Piccadilly station, talking with the public about their campaign to fight hate crime on the railway, and how to report an incident if they witness it or experience it.
Officers will patrol the station handing out leaflets, taking the opportunity to explain what BTP is doing to tackle hate crime.
Inspector Granville Sellers, British Transport Police, said: “Hate crime is never acceptable and our goal is to work towards eliminating it from the rail network. We are proud to be part of Manchester’s Hate Crime Awareness Week and to spread the message that our diversity unites us, it is hate that divides us.
“As a community we stand together, pledging to put an end to hate crime. Everyone has the right to travel safely and we won’t tolerate behaviour where someone is targeted because they’re different or made to feel uncomfortable on their journey.”
In Manchester, the week’s events will conclude with a demonstration of solidarity against all hate crime on Market Street in Manchester City Centre on Sunday 12 February.
At midday members of the public, led by the Lord Mayor of Manchester Councillor Carl Austin-Behan, will be invited to join hands in a display of unity against hate crime and a celebration of diversity.

It is actually a rectangular pillar well in front of the building and not a flatbed wall. The shot was taken deliberately at an angle to create the illusion by the use of this brilliant street art work.

C'est en fait un pilier rectangulaire bien en avant du bâtiment et non un mur plat. La photo a été prise délibérément sous un angle pour créer l'illusion en utilisant ce street art brillant.

Curated by Basak Senova, the inaugural exhibition of B7L9, Climbing through the Tide is designed to initiate dialogues and encounters among the works by suggesting various paths of reception through its scenography. Works in the exhibition connect to each other through spontaneously formed content; form; methodology; and approach-based links. By taking the condition-based and geographical inputs into account, the exhibition operates as the prompter of a new interrogations and the instigator of multiple perceptions leading to a more layered reading of our current situation and to different ways to cope with it. Climbing through the Tide brings together 50 artists from 21 countries including Adel Abidin, Afif Saâdane, Aicha Snoussi, Ali Cabbar, Ali Cherri, Ali Tnani, Almagul Menlibayeva, Bahar Behbahani, Behzad Khosravi Noori, Benji Boyadgian, Bronwyn Lace, Egle Oddo, Etel Adnan, Farah Khelil, Fares Thabet, Fatih Aydogdu, Ghada Amer, Gulsun Karamustafa, Hatem El Mekki , Heba Amin, Hera Büyüktaşçıyan, Inci Eviner, Inma Hererra, Jawad Al Malhi, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Jumana Manna, Kader Attia, Larissa Sansour, Lina Selander, Malek Gnaoui, Marcus Neustetter, Negar Tahsili, Nermin Er, Nicène Kossentini, Nilbar Gures, Ramesch Daha, Raqs Media Collective, Ricarda Denzer, Susan Hefuna, Wael Shawky, Walid Raad, Yasmine Ben Khelil, Younes Ben Slimane, Youssef Nabil, Yto Barrada, Ziad Antar, and Zineb Sedira. “Annotations” section of the exhibition presents Centre for Less Good Ideas, Apartment Project, Mahatat, Mophradat, Ashkal Alwan, L’Atelier de l’Observatoire, Egle Oddo and Technopole Borj Cedria and the CrossSections Project.
I've always admired the Barbican, along with many of the "utopian" projects from the brutalist period. Unfortunately many people, led by Prince Charles seem to despise these buildings. It's very much a challenge of perception, and how we are often mislead. This is a series of two images which have simply been post processed differently, and shows you how easily the mind can be warped.
In rural areas of Pakistan, fear of mobility is one of the most common reasons why girls are not sent to schools post puberty. Funny when it comes to earning, that fear vanishes in no time!
***UPDATE*** Benn nabbed this for his new bungalow. This guy is triple OG....we go back to early 2011 together... so so good.

Sponsored by Power Brake Service - Changing the perception of brakes from pads and rotors to rocket science since 1950. Performance Hydro-Boost™ & AIRMASTER™ Brake Systems www.powerbrakeservice.net
About Power Brake Service:
We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:
Hydro-Boost Conversions
Vacuum Brake - Conversions, Upgrades, and Modifications
Wilwood and Brembo Disc Brake Kits
Master Cylinders
Stainless Braided Hoses
Classic Car / Muscle Car Stock Brake Restoration and Rebuilding (Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, Ford & GM Truck, Mopar, Rolls Royce)
Light Truck / Medium Truck Hydro-Boost Replacement Parts and Conversions
Medium Truck / Heavy Truck Hydro-Max, Air brake, and Air-hydraulic systems - and Hydro-Max Conversions for the obsolete Delco Hypower
Conversions for the obsolete Buick Grand National, T-bird SC, Land Rover, Jeep and all other electric brake booster / electric powermasters
Modified brakes for Altered Bed Fleet Vehicles
Modified sensitivity for the Handicaped
Disc/Drum and Disc/Disc Proportioning Valves
We have worked on everything from propane powered trams to roller coasters, cranes, parade floats, multi engine street rods, classic european cars, double decker buses, and a Freightliner racing truck. Our favorite is working on big engine muscle cars that make too little vacuum and need more stopping power.

"The Alabama Jubilee Hot-Air Balloon Classic is the oldest hot-air balloon race in the mid-South, started in Decatur, Alabama in 1978.
The sport of Hot-Air Ballooning had come to Decatur only a few years prior to the fact that the City of Decatur had decided to purchase a hot-air balloon but now needed pilots to fly it. So the salesman of the balloon cut a deal that he would train three pilots to fly the city's new balloon.
A few years later the sport of ballooning had hit Decatur hard and there were several well known pilots living in the area. Craving competition and the festival atmosphere provided at other ballon rallies 17 balloonists from Alabama,Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana got together with a handful of other volunteers and started the Alabama Jubilee
Initially Jubilee also served as a showcase for the new Decatur balloon, one of the first hot air balloons to represent a city, and an event to kick off Alabama's tourism season. These days Jubilee draws about 60 pilots from 20 states for two days of competition during the annual Memorial Day holiday weekend and serves not only as a showcase for the City of Decatur but as a must-attend community event that draws visitors for all over the country.
The continued popularity of the Alabama Jubilee prompted the Alabama Legislature to designate the City of Decatur as the “Ballooning Capital of Alabama.” The Jubilee has also been named a Top 20 Tourism Event in the Southeast for May by the Atlanta-based Southeast Tourism Society."

I've gotta say. I'm in a strange, strange mood today.. I've been so busy, I'm starting to notice it's effecting my pictures. Tomorrow I have people coming to visit 'till Thursday, which I then leave at 6am in the morning to drive 15 hours, and then sleep in a random hotel and drive a few more hours to get to Connecticut Friday morning. I'll get to stay by the beach (yay!) and then head to Boston for a few days on Sunday. It should be a good weekend, but my mind is just overflowing with all I have to get done. On a side note; while I'm in Boston I'll be hanging out with an awesome photographer friend and we're gonna collab! Can't wait!

“Enriched with Carbon and Gold, the CSL is both striking and beautiful. From the seamless flow of the barrel and frame to the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the body. The new CSL is the epitome of class and performance with a distinctive pedigree and history that is only found in the SL mark”
[gallery link="file" orderby="title"]
The CSL is all about the detail. Gold screws clamp the gold-detailed grips onto the new flush fitting and screwless frame. Gold Thumbwheel and Screw on the silky smooth, bushed and re-designed C-Lever Clamping Feed. Gold LPR Torpedo and Bolt Pin. The bespoke CSL POPS system with coded gold latch pin. All co-ordinated with that lustrous carbon fibre and gold threaded weave in the all-new SL Shaft 4 Barrel Tip.
The SL has always offered something a bit special. A bit “extra”, if you like. And this year is no exception.
The gold accenting lifts the general appearance of the CSL into another league. All of the stainless steel parts that could be colour-coded have been, also the grip badge and body badge carry a gold chrome finish in place of the silver chrome found on the standard Ego11.
But of course it is the new SL Shaft4 Barrel that takes the limelight. The gloss finished Carbon Fibre 14.5” and 16” tips contains a delicate gold weave, a polished gold collar, and ample porting. The backs have been stepped down a size in their range (now 0.681”, 0.685” and 0.689” bores) in order to better suit the current paint sizes around the globe. The threading and rear section use the same geometry as the Shaft4 Barrel with its increased control bore length, offering higher average velocity and improved consistency over the older Shaft SL barrels. Of course the internal bore is precision honed, as you would expect.
In order to make the most of the stunning detailing all of the CSL the colours for this year have been designed to complement the gold theme, picking up the colour in their accented parts, but each with their own unique combination of base and contrasting elements.
Mechanically the CSL is driven using the same solenoid with integrated Flow Control Devices as can be found on the Ego11. The Ego11 has altered perceptions on what is possible both in terms of adjustability and outright smoothness from a poppet platform. And the CSL is no different with the adjustable solenoid making it possible to dial in the marker for supreme spool valve rivalling smoothness or outright firepower at the twist of a control.
But in other areas around the marker it’s easy to spot where those improvements that you expect to see in an SL have been made. For example the F-F or Flush Fitting Frame. Take a look and you will see that there are no longer any unsightly screw heads at the rear of the frame or inside the trigger guard. Instead, the frame is attached using a single captured free-spinning screw at the rear, and on a discrete and hidden cam-hinge at the front. The result is quicker and easier disassembly, smoother lines and improved ergonomics.
The CSL will be shipping with the excellent Cure3+ bolt. But currently in the final stages of development we have an all-new Cure4 Bolt System. Developed with the intention to reduced stack clipping and bolt strike (where the paintball is damaged by the bolt accelerating forward and striking the stationary paintball) the new bolt includes a removable and replaceable cushioned tip. The tip is locked into position by the contoured bolt insert that is in turn held in place by the bolt pin. Complete disassembly requires no tools whatsoever. The Cure4 bolt will be made available free of charge to all CSL owners who register their marker (see inside CSL box for details).
Continuing the long tradition of the SL range, the CSL offers a multitude of options to the owner. Electronically there is the same option of Opto or Micro trigger actuation on the board, as well as magnetic and/or spring return on the trigger. The CSL also offers the option of both a High and Low Pressure exhaust valve system which allows you tailor the efficiency and feel even further. The HP valve guide gives increased efficiency while the LP guide delivers a more gentle blast of air to the back of the ball. There is also the inclusion of the standard Ego-shaped “S” style, as well as a brand new retro “Blade”-shaped, trigger. The options included as standard with every CSL mean that there should be a set-up to suit every taste without ever the need to purchase potentially flawed aftermarket parts.
And of course these days the options do not just stop at the hardware. Every CSL comes complete with a full E-Portal system, including software and link cables meaning that everything from the start-up splash screen to the software version can be adjusted and uploaded from a PC.
As you can see, there is little that has been left untouched on the New CSL. And after all, The devil is in the detail, as they say…

Promotional Book | Type Promotional Book for Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk
The basis of this project was to choose a typeface and design a poster, promotion book, type promotion book, and website to showcase and promote the chosen typeface. I chose the Copy Family: Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk from the T26 Digital Type Foundtry.
Concept_Subject of Study:
Copy Semi Grotesk, the typeface designed by Thomas Mettendorf, is a mix between a slab serif, serif, and monotype typeface categories. Copy Semi Grotesk is a typeface that stands on its own, in a unique category between the slab serif, serif, and monotype; in short, Copy Semi Grotesk represents a sense of duality which is how it relates to the subject of subliminal perception. Subliminal perception occurs when you are not consciously aware of receiving information, or learning, yet the information is still stored in your mind; it reaches the individual on a subconscious level but affects one on a conscious level, thereby adding to that layer of duality. Since Copy Cut, with its angular cuts, is about breaking away from the ordinary shapes and basic design, so too is the concept of this book: to break through the meaning of these subliminal messages and realizing the underlying true content.

"Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg."
Hans Christian Anderson
This is our local swan. Her and her partner have been using this nest, just a few minutes walk from my parents' house, for years. They have been the victims of vandals destroying the nest, yobs stealing or breaking their eggs and the Cob has required medical treatment after swallowing an abandoned fishing hook and line. Yet they come back year after year, laying their eggs and producing ugly yet beautiful young, which, if they avoid the mink and pike, grow into majestic and serene adults. Truly inspirational.
Photo Taken in Beaverton, ON - April 2021 (I love you Dad)
It was easier to get mad at him than it was to understand him. My dad was a tree with love and life running through each branch and for me, I had a leaf on that tree. It may have been a single leaf but it was mine, my own small piece of him. You see, also running through each branch was the reasons for why my dad was the man he was. You couldn’t see the reasons because as the tree grew the bark grew with it and that bark was thick, impenetrable and it covered the scars that my dad carried with him each and every day of his life. He never really talked a lot about it and no one ever really understood his reasons and it was just easier to get upset with him than it was to stop and question “why am I really getting upset”? I am sure that he realized the upset but he was trapped within that tree. He could hear the upset, see the upset and without a doubt he could feel the upset, but there he was stuck within that tree. Through it all though I hung onto that one leaf. I watched that leaf shine in the sun, drip in the rain, blow through the storms and dazzle with such beautiful colours in the fall. That leaf never fell to the ground and I hung on to it knowing that this leaf, this one small part of such a huge tree was mine. The rain and storms and the cold winter always gave way to the warmth of the sun and beauty of the fall. The tree that was my dad was anchored by all that was good, all that was love but some of the roots injected into him all that he struggled with. I do not blame my dad for allowing his tree to sway or to allow for branches to fall off because I knew he was powerless and I eventually understood. It took me awhile but I understood because like some of the roots on his tree, I inherited the same struggles. Nobody really seems to want to listen but he did as I listened to him. He understood first hand what I was telling him because he lived it his entire life. For me, the last 6 years I’ve been to many people hoping someone would listen, someone would understand or that someone would help but I always came back to him. “Why Dad” I would begin to ask and he never had an answer but he always provided an understanding. “Why does it feel like the world is always ending, my heart racing, what happened to me”, I would ask and again, never a definite answer, just words of understanding. “Why do I sit in a chair all day Dad and I feel paralyzed to move even though I know what I’m doing is wrong and I’m hurting others”, he would look at me from his car and I knew he understood. He understood because he is the tree and these are all his branches. It didn’t make Christmas’ easier and it didn’t make holding his hand easier because the branches on my dads tree were long now and showing signs of all the years and all that they have endured - but, he understood and I understood. I had a leaf on my dad’s tree, a single leaf but to me it was bigger than the tree itself because it was my leaf, my piece of my dad and I loved that leaf. I watched helplessly as that one leaf, my leaf fell to the ground and I wasn’t there to catch it. I should have been there to catch it and I let it fall. Gone now is that leaf, never to return again, never to extend that hand and tell me he loves me. What I would give to have that leaf back, just to see it shine again because that leaf had more love in it than I really ever knew until now, because it is gone. I don’t know what more to say, the pain right now is felt by many who had leafs on that tree. Some had many leafs, some had bigger leafs and I am sorry that these leafs are also gone - we all have lost a piece of something beautiful. I am so sorry Dad
