During the years of terror cast upon Bosnia and my city of Sarajevo, photography remained my only medium of artistic expression. My painting conditions were nonexistent, (shortage of materials, time and peace). My photographs were captured while walking between steps. Each step representing life or death… In this town of sorrows, agony surrounded by walls of hatred and evil, I encountered the most extraordinary beings in this world. They are genuine people, without hatred; people who survive inside the walls of a besieged city, without electricity, fuel, food, water, etc. Sarajevo became the massacred city where every new day is awaited as a miracle; awaited with patience and disbelief that you are still alive. There was a light that continued to glow from this destroyed city and its people; they had not lost their spirit. Exhibitions and concerts were still being attended by people who shed the tears of happiness, knowing that they couldn’t kill the art. A horrifying beauty was born.
Intensely preoccupied with exploring light at edge of shadow,
Observation of physical and psychological reality, Symbolism,
Picture is based on light and darkness counterpoints, with elements of Chiaroscuro. acutely observed realism brought a new level of emotional intensity,
Strong, dramatic expression, City Life and Street Scenes,
Perception beyond the Veil, including the veil of religion; POETIC TransRealism;
‘The true light came to the world and resided in the world,
And the world did not understand it,’

Have you ever thought about the relationships you have with the people you know? Even those you have known for years can take you by surprise.
Maybe it is because we take them for granted after a while - or that they take us for granted - or both.
Sometimes what you think you know will and what you truly find will turn you inside out - and leave you bleeding in the dust. Or maybe you will mend. But it will never be the same.
Or maybe they will come through in a way that was never expected at all.
Who are you looking at ?
Or maybe I should ask..who is looking at you?
This photo was taken in the FX terminal in front of SM Megamall. So many people were lining up, crowded in the pedestrian side, waiting for the FX to arrive. (naks, rhyming)
Seriously though, is the problem really overpopulation or just a blurry perception towards population?
A lot of people all over the world today would agree that overpopulation is indeed a hindrance to economic development in their country. This is manifested by the bills and laws that their country passed just to “control” population. Here in the Philippines, we have also our own story to share. Just recently, some of our legislators proposed a bill that aims to promote reproductive health, the House Bill 5043 or more popularly know as the “RH Bill”. The pressure to pass the bill is more pressing since the pro-bill people are claiming that this could be the solution to the widespread poverty that we are all experiencing. But then again, are we really overpopulated in the first place? Is our own populace hindering economic development in our country?
I guess the problem boils down to the misconception that everyone has towards population. People who proposed this bill seemed to tell us that there is no hope in our people. They just see them as burdens when in fact we should consider them as assets. In relation to my picture, they can say that we are overpopulated because the supply of FXs is not already enough for the people. Thus, we need to control it. Is this the way to look at things? Isn’t it that it will be proper and logically sound if we see it like this: “we need more FXs because we have a growing population”? They just cite the poor vendors and street children in the sidewalks to say that we are overpopulated and that poverty is widespread. But, they fail to see the working populace who keep our economy upfloat. They don’t appreciate the hardships that our OFW’s suffer to bring in dollar into our country. Is this the hindrance to economic development that they are talking about? I guess not. It is our labor force that fuels our economy, that keeps our economy alive, that brings progress in our country. In a country like ours where acquisition of capital is difficult, human resource is best asset and advantage that we have. We just have to develop this asset. We just need to invest on human capital and for sure, the returns that we will get will be of immense value. We just have to believe in our people and change our mindset regarding overpopulation. We are not overpopulated and our problems with poverty are not rooted in the number of people that we have: it is entrenched to our incapacitated and corrupt government.
Indeed, population is not a hindrance to economic development, as many people nowadays believe in. In fact, they are our assets that bring growth to our economy. We do not need the RH Bill. What we need is a change of mindset or way of thinking. It is precisely the failure to realize that our human resource is our greatest advantage hinders economic development.

Exposed: Pervasive Influence at The Gladstone Hotel seeks to examine the tyranny of the photograph. How does an image colonize perception? How are false realities created through different photo genres? The artists in this group show illuminate layers of perception by unmasking cultural appropriation, interrupting the fashion photographers narrative, decoding the sickly sweet anthropomorphization of animals through fantasy portraiture and by not letting us look away from the bitter effects of omnipresent advertising on our bodies; each revealing new possibilities for reading the image.

Ben Ng, Aaron Vincent Elkaim & Brett Gundlock, Colin Carney, Daniela Tersigni & Lindsay Lauckner, Esmond Lee, Genevieve Blais, Genevive Caron, Natalia Sokolovska, Ferdinand Herrera, Sophie Hogan, Barry Stoch, Courtney Kelsey, Derek Flack, Genevieve Thauvette, Gil Reynolds, Joe Fleming, Katia Houde, Miklos Legrady, Nicole Koster, Ruth Gillson, Sarah Febbraro, Shelley Wildeman, Sheryl Dudley, Steven Beckly, Tifffany Doldron, Walter Segers, William Suarez

Artist & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary founder, Cyrus Mejia's show Pits & Perception opened in Los Angeles @ Artology 101 in Glendale. There were several live pit bulls in attendance at the festivities.
From cyrusmejia.com/art/pits-and-perception
"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Madame Moreau of Versailles. The card has a divided back.
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun
Born Élisabeth Louise Vigée in Paris on the 16th. April 1755, Élisabeth was a French portrait painter in the late 18th. century.
Her artistic style is generally considered part of the aftermath of Rococo with elements of an adopted Neoclassical style. Vigée Le Brun created a name for herself in Ancien Régime society by serving as the portrait painter to Marie Antoinette. She enjoyed the patronage of European aristocrats, actors, and writers, and was elected to art academies in ten cities.
Vigée Le Brun and Marie Antoinette
As her career blossomed, Vigée Le Brun was granted patronage by Marie Antoinette. She painted more than 30 portraits of the queen and her family, leading to the common perception that she was the official portraitist of Marie Antoinette.
At the Salon of 1783, Vigée Le Brun exhibited Marie Antoinette in a Muslin Dress (1783), sometimes called Marie Antoinette en Gaulle, in which the queen chose to be shown in a simple, informal white cotton garment.
The resulting scandal was prompted by both the informality of the attire, and the queen's decision to be shown in that way.
Vigée Le Brun's later Marie Antoinette and Her Children (1787) was evidently an attempt to improve the queen's image by making her more relatable to the public, in the hopes of countering the bad press and negative judgments that the queen had recently received.
The portrait shows the queen at home in the Palace of Versailles, engaged in her official function as the mother of the king's children, but also suggests Marie Antoinette's uneasy identity as a foreign-born queen whose maternal role was her only true function under Salic law.
The child, Louis Joseph, on the right is pointing to an empty cradle, which signified her recent loss of a child, further emphasizing Marie Antoinette's role as a mother.
The Death and Legacy of Vigée Le Brun
Élisabeth died at the age of 86 in Paris on the 30th. March 1842.
Vigée Le Brun created 660 portraits and 200 landscapes. In addition to many works in private collections, her paintings are owned by major museums, such as the Louvre Paris, Uffizi Florence, Hermitage Museum Saint Petersburg, National Gallery in London, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and many other collections in continental Europe and the United States.
Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette was born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna on the 2nd. November 1755. She was the last queen of France before the French Revolution.
Marie was born an Archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.
Marie became Dauphine of France in May 1770 at the age of 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne. On the 10th. May 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, and she became queen.
Marie Antoinette's position at court improved when, after eight years of marriage, she started having children. She became increasingly unpopular among the people, however, with the French libelles accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, harbouring sympathies for France's perceived enemies - particularly her native Austria - and her children of being illegitimate.
The false accusations of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.
Several events were linked to Marie Antoinette during the Revolution after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789.
The June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition had disastrous effects on French popular opinion. On the 10th. August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and they were imprisoned in the Temple Prison on the 13th. August.
The Death of Louis XVI
On the 21st. September 1792, the French monarchy was abolished. Louis XVI was executed by guillotine on the 21st. January 1793.
The Death of Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette's trial began on the 14th. October 1793, and two days later she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed, also by guillotine, on the Place de la Révolution on the 16th. October 1793.
Christian Marche’s sculpture of found metal objects, welded in abstract form and painted a matte silver, sits directly above the Bronx’s busy Grand Concourse. The size of Marche’s sculpture – measuring 10 feet tall and 16 square feet at its base – complements the sheer size of this intersection. The found objects, collected locally throughout New York City, provide an opportunity to discuss recycling and the perception of refused versus reused. Among the found objects are a taxi cab door, a flattened shopping cart, a refrigerator, and various bicycle parts.
Christian Marche is a Bronx-based artist, welder, machinist, and educator. With this installation, Marche seeks to provide a physical image for the hopes and dreams that people associate with material goods, which inevitably find their way into our landfills.

It is when we visit a place that sometimes colours our perception of it. I say that because of all the churches and fine buildings we visited on our holiday in July, that this one left the biggest impression on Julie and myself.
It was a wonderfully hot day, too hot some might say, in Edinburgh, and we had just about had it and were thinking of going home, when we saw the church ahead of us, so decided to go in.
Light was streaming in through all the windows on the southside, and those windows seemed to leave no room for walls. It was a church of light.
And what wonderful light, colouled with the most incredible ceiling and the warm welcome we received upon entering, and the clear pride that there is in this fine building.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Church of St John the Evangelist, or St John's, lies on the south side of Edinburgh's Princes Street, at its very western end where it meets Lothian Road. At the bustling heart of Edinburgh, the church overlooks one of the busiest junctions in the city, making the contrast when you step inside still more remarkable.
St John's is in the diocese of Edinburgh of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The Scottish Episcopal Church had its origins in 1582 when the national Church of Scotland rejected government by bishops (episcopal government) in favour of government by elders (presbyterian government).
This was no minor matter in the 1600s when James VI/I and Charles I tried to enforce rule by bishops on the Church of Scotland (thus bringing it into line with the Church of England), resulting directly in the two "Bishops' Wars" between England and Scotland, effectively the opening act of the 20-year Wars of the Three Kingdoms that included the English Civil War and the Cromwellian occupation of Scotland that followed.
Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, Charles II tried again to impose bishops on Scotland. After James VII/II. was deposed (largely because of his Catholicism) by William and Mary in 1689, the Church of Scotland was allowed to become fully presbyterian, and the displaced bishops refused to recognise the new regime, supporting instead the "legitimate" (albeit Catholic) King James VII/II, giving the church a common cause with the Jacobites who sought to retake the throne on a number of occasions until 1745. Over time, the Scottish Episcopal Church freed itself of its Jacobite overtones and became a separate church, part of the world-wide Anglican Communion.
The building of St John's started in 1816 on the site of what had previously been a council-owned market garden. It cost £18,000, and the finished church was consecrated on Maundy Thursday, 19 March 1818. St John's was designed by the eminent architect, William Burn, in the perpendicular Gothic style. During construction the size of the church was increased from seven bays to eight. In January 1818 a storm blew down the open lantern that originally sat atop the tower of the still uncompleted church, which was not replaced.
Since 1818, the church has changed significantly on a number of occasions. In 1882 the original flat wall at the east end was removed, being replaced by a magnificent chancel built out into what had previously been part of the burial ground. A church hall was added to the south east of the church in 1916, and a beautiful chapel was built onto the south side of the chancel in 1935.
But in many ways, the most important changes were made between 1857 and 1861 when many of the original, plain glass, windows in the aisles were replaced with the magnificent collection of stained glass on show today. These were the work of the Edinburgh studio of Ballantyne and Allan. In 1882 Ballantyne's son added two further stained glass windows in the aisles; and Ballantyne's grandson added two more in 1930, and the stained glass window in the chapel in 1935.
The only stained glass not locally sourced were the windows inserted when the chancel was built in 1882, which came from two different London studios. What you see in St John's today is one of the finest collections of stained glass in Scotland, made all the more vivid by the removal and restoration of all the windows over the ten years up to 1995, during which time the exterior stonework of the church was also cleaned.
The interior of St John's could be a world away from the busy streets that lie just beyond its walls. The most striking feature is the plaster ceiling vault, which was inspired by King Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey, London. This is wonderfully complex and ornate. As is the chancel, which is perhaps the second feature that draws your attention on entering the church. The combination of the dark wood fittings, the dark stone used in the arch, the windows, and the ornate ceiling give an effect from the nave like looking through a door into another world.
The chapel to the south of the chancel is beautiful and intimate, and its window is especially striking as you feel closer to it than you do to those in the aisles or chancel.
Stepped down from the south side of the church is St John's terrace. This is home to the Cornerstone Cafe; the Cornerstone Bookshop, an Ecumenical not-for-profit bookshop; the Edinburgh Peace & Justice Centre; and the OneWorld Shop, a fair trade shop established in 1983. Access is via the external steps near the south west corner of the church, on Lothian Road.
