wow...this week was not too great.

 

I got too little sleep when I needed it most, and too much accidentally when I had work to finish, which led to an insanely crazy day of somehow finishing all of my stuff the class period before it was due. I had a really really beautiful moment on Thursday that moved me so much I almost broke down. (I tend to break down when I experience something just so incredibly beautiful.) But then it was contrasted by a night of frustration and confusion. I made two new really cool friends, and I'm pretty excited about that. But otherwise, everything was pretty stressful, mainly because of my lack of self-discipline.

 

Anyway, I procrastinated on this...I really didn't feel like photoshooting until I had to...which is weird because usually it makes me feel better but I wasn't even in the mood to do it despite that. I dunno. I guess the concept kind of goes with how I feel right now...I just want to protect myself from thinking and doing bad things but I'm not doing a very good job of that. Also, I'm incredibly surprised that the one that I chose this time was the complete LAST of the shoot. Usually it's one of the first, or at least towards the beginning. Maybe it's just because this was so rushed, but hey I beat midnight so yeah ok cool whatever

 

Okay, next week will be better...I have a few ideas, involving water or mud...we'll see.

African Beads:

;The earliest Africans made beads as “fetishes”, charms, talisman and amulets for protection and adornments. The first materials were shell, stone, wood, bone, seeds, amber, ivory, teeth, clay, metals, etc. Beads were highly valuable and were also used as currency.

Trading could be done for food, livestock, etc. Beads evolve into a visual language that express rank, spirituality initiation, used to communicate culture value important to the people way of life. African people have had a special relationship with beads for thousands of years.

No other people on the planet used as many beads or in such abundance as African and the importance of the beads was not it shape, color, size or place of manufacture but the value that had been assign to it by privies generations

.Long before the first European return to Africa in the 1400’s century we were adorning ourselves with beads. Many of the beads are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to fine and some are no longer available, as worldwide demand for the beads increases.

 

" African Trade Beads":

this term typically applies to beads made predominately in European countries from the late 1400s through to the early 1900s, beads traded in Africa, Americas and other counties.

This "trade" period was from the mid 1800s through the early 1900s; millions of these beads were produced and traded in Africa. The Europeans dominated the African bead market. All beads are from the collection of MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum

 

The Beads were re- introduced to the American market in the late 1960s, by young peace core volunteer returning from Africa.

The beads became associated with the Hippie movement as symbols of love and peace. Today these beads are popular in contemporary jewelry and as collectable items .Millions are in private collections and museums. Mirrors by Dabls

Since this building's made entirely of wood, it needs some measures of protection against the fire. This is it. Wooden fish with water carved on the edges of the roof.

I keep hoping this one will darken up like the others, but so far it is taking forever. I am sure that now that I have scanned it things will change.

 

Also, my film shots like to hide the analogue sunrise sticker. It is there...just tough to see.

Children Consultation for midterm review (MTR) in Baidoa Tufta IDP Camp in Wadajir. Through collaboration with Somali Children Welfare and Rights Watch (SCWRW) in Baidoa twenty children were identified for the consultation through a transparent and consultative process. The children were from IDP and the host community. Thirteen of the children were from the IDP Camps in Wadajir village in Baidoa and the rest were the host community. In terms of gender likewise thirteen were girls and the rest boys.

From the discussion, the following were emerging as the biggest challenges of the children in Baidoa; access to basic needs such food, clean water, shelter, drugs and substance abuse, street children, lack of enough spaces for playing, parents marrying off their daughters at tender age, lack of quality education, lack of materials for learning, parents not able to provide for them due to poverty, school fees which most of the parent cannot afford.

Thank a volunteer river steward!)

Lion cubs often drink under their mother or another protective adult from their pride to mitigate the risk of being attacked by an alligator. Though this pride had never seen an alligator in their life, this action is part of their natural born behaviour. shot at Thanda wildlife reserve, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
