Photography’s new conscience
Situated in a valley on the River Elbe, Dresden is the capital of Saxony, Germany. With the State Art Collections, Dresden hosts some of the most important museums in the world. They consist of twelve museums, of which the Old Masters Gallery and the Green Vault are the most famous. The panorama shows a view over Brühl's Terrace and Dresden old town.

Traditional hand-crafted, Arabic-styled fishing dhows rest at sea as a hot equator sun sets over the Indian Ocean and the Lamu Archipelago off Kenya's Swahili Coast. Manda Island and the Shela dunes of Lamu appear on the horizon.
Our dhow and the larger dhow in the backdrop were crafted in a small village further south on Mozambique’s stretch of the Swahili Coast. The three smaller Mashua dhows with folded sails were crafted in the traditional dhow-building village of Matondoni on the Kenyan island of Lamu.
Swahili racing teams come together several times a year to compete with the smaller, lighter Mashua dhows. The finest dhows are selected from villages across the archipelago to race under sail through a complicated series of buoys in the Manda channel, combining speed and balance with elaborate tacking and maneuvering competence.

I have been singing praises about the Iphone virtues as a visual creativity tool for a long time now, but can the Iphone be useful in reportage of current events too?

Mursi mother with ornamental clay lip-plate, wild boar's tusk, facial chalk markings, and decorated goat-skin clothing - pastoral settlement in southern Ethiopia's lower Omo Valley.
On the meaning of lip-plates in Mursi culture and society
The Mursi are one of the last groups in Africa where women still wear large wooden or clay plates in their lower lips. Most Mursi women wear lip-plates as an aesthetic symbol of cultural pride and identity, signifying passage to womanhood/adulthood. They are more frequently worn by unmarried or newly wed women and are generally worn when serving men food or during important ritual events (weddings, men's duelling competitions, communal dances, safari photo-ops).
Debunking popular myths
Contrary to popular opinion among travellers and other passing strangers, ethnographers found little or no connection between the size of a woman’s lip-plate and the size of her bridewealth (cattle, guns).
Anthropologists and ethnographers have debunked another popular myth surrounding the lip-plate in this region. They found no evidence that the labret originated as a deliberate attempt to disfigure and make women less attractive to slave traders, yet this myth seems to surface regularly in accounts by professional and amateur photographers, tourists, and bloggers alike.
The Mursi and Mursiland
The Mursi are semi-nomadic farmers and herders who depend on shifting hoe-cultivation (mostly drought-resistant varieties of sorghum) and cattle herding for their livelihood. They number less than ten thousand today.
Most Mursi live in small settlements dispersed across Mursiland, a remote territory of about thirty by eighty kilometres between the Omo and Mago Rivers in southwestern Ethiopia, near the border with South Sudan and northern Kenya.
The terrain varies from a volcanic plain dominated by a range of hills and a major watershed to a riverine forest, wooded grasslands and thorny bushland thickets. The climate is harsh and unstable with low rainfall and daily temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade during the dry season.

Two photos taken inside The Saloon on Hennepin Avenue. One of the best deals and best mixed crowds around.. I found it at a suggestion by Jacqui and other women who feel this is a safe place.
The drinks are inexpensive and the bar snacks are freshly made and inexpensive. You can't beat a combination like that.
I have several "offices" around town to either meet people or just do som writing or editing. It's Sovereign Grounds in the morning for a great cup of Italian Roast and some of Mother Hakan's fresh made goodies.
In the afternoon, when I have a hankering for my fave tap beer, Negra Modelo, and some tapas, it's Salsa en Salsa at the Global Market.
If I get into the evening Happy Hour, it is usually Lyle's with their all day 2 for 1, with Peroni on tap. Those Italians just aren't about pasta and wine . . . the beer is pretty good.
The Saloon is my newest plac and right downtown Minneapolis . . . convenient for everybody. I have a corner of the back bar where I can plug in, and keep the seat next to me open for whomever I will be meeting there. Never rushed and not as crowded as the front bar.
It's a big place and I've never been to all of the rooms that the place has. This stage was in the corner of one of the larger rooms. I've taken to carry my small camera with a 10-18mm lens.
I find I can adjust if I have to take a candid portrait so as not to distort the facial features and just have to crop a bit. It also gives me flexibility when I want to get pics of the inside of some of these places.
It's really and interesting place. I am not around when all the rooms and bars get cranking . . . that's around 9pm and I'm usually cozying in at home or at a friend's house.
Had I know how nice this retirement thing was, I would have started earlier.😁
From a hundred yards away through the crowds I can hear this duo coming down the infamous boardwalk of LA's Venice Beach!
