Colour photos suit the times when Ivy (my Mum) briefly recognises me. It may last seconds, maybe two minutes then its gone. She goes back into another World, her private World.
I am so honoured to be presented with a certificate of recognition from sorority Delta Theta Nu. This means so much to me!
I was so shocked and very blown away to be told "You are seen". It brought tears to my eyes as life is not easy. Yet we still make the best of every situation and push through trying our best to sprinkle positivity. Thank you once again to the ladies of DTN! I appreciate you all so much ♥
Die Magenta farbenen Schiffe der ONE Reederei (Ocean Network Express) sind immer ein besonderer Farbtupfer im Hamburger Hafen. So wie hier am Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT) die ONE RECOGNITION (IMO 9952701), 272 m lang und 43 m breit.
Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.
Perhaps I am beginning to understand that white silence is violence.
Australia's history is problematic for 232 years, and counting. Though we can be proud of the 59,768 years before that; before colonization.

I was appalled as a child when I learnt in 1966 that we had not previously counted our First Nations People in our population census. I was just a kid and it seemed simple to me: you count all the people and you come up with a number for the total population. Why weren't we counting all the people?
So the years passed and I grew up and my learning became more sophisticated and I was confronted with the legal concept of terra nullius. A latin term meaning "land that is legally deemed to be unoccupied or uninhabited". So that is how Australia is occupied: with no recognition of any indigenous inhabitants. WTF! This kid is increasingly uncomfortable with this history.
I am ashamed today that my country continues to allow a disproportionate rate of black deaths in custody.
We need to change. I look forward to sacrifices to my white privilege in order to achieve this.
Recent research in Cambridge has shown that sheep can recognise human faces when encouraged by a wee treat, such as Baa-rack Obama’s and Emma Watson’s. Our neighbours may of recognized me, but they were not used to me jumping into their space in order to shoot the setting sun.
A Cokin diffuser filter was used on camera.
It made my day to be remembered by this fine young upcoming actor last summer. It was four full years since we last laid eyes on each other, when he was one of the teenage dancers in a musical movie being made in 2018, for which I was shooting promotional & archival stills.
I was sitting supping coffee @ Liverpool Central Station in 2022 when he spotted me. (He took the pic on his phone, btw.)
“Everyone needs recognition for his accomplishments, but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father: "Let's play darts”

Glaub nicht dais ich werbe.
Engel, und wurb uch duch aych! Du kommst nicht. Denn mein
Anruf ist immer voll Hinweg; wider so starke
Stromung kannstdu nicht schreiten. Wie ein gestreckter
Arm ist mein Rufen. Und seine zum Greifen
oben offene Hand bleibt vordir
offen, wie Abwehr und Warnung.
Unfislicher, weitauf.
I went to see my Brother today.
He later admitted that he didn't recognise me when he answered the door. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing...

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a 3/5 scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. It stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. 58,195 names of fallen servicemen and women are inscribed on it.
This Traveling Memorial stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was made for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships and to allow people may not be able to make the trip to Washington DC the opportunity to visit and honor loved ones in their home town.

Say what you will about Google, the company's image recognition capabilities are astonishingly good. All I had to do to identify this church was capture the image with the Google app. Google did the rest in the blink of an eye and returned with the correct result.
Google probably has nefarious motives for giving us this "free" service. For all we know, Google's campaign for world domination is advancing one 70-year-old slide at a time.
Be that as it may, had I tried to identify the church by comparing it with photos of churches in the location where I thought the photo was taken, I'd have come up with nothing. Since the slide was with photos I knew were taken in Chile, I assumed this image was too.
How wrong I was! The scene here is in Panama City, very far from the Chilean Lake District. The only way I can explain my mother's presence there is that she had a layover in Panama City on a trip between the US and South America. In the propliner era, aircraft had shorter ranges. Panama was a logical waypoint.
As a boy I enjoyed visits to the airport at Panama City because of the many different airlines that called there and the abundance of propeller planes at a time when jets were replacing them in the US.
Getting back to the image, the structure is the Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, known in Spanish under the much more poetic name of la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.
This is a very rare case when scaffolding was on a church not in connection with repairs or restoration but with its construction.
Here's a piece about the church in Spanish. A translation in fluent Google-Translate English follows.
----------------------------------------
Las iglesias suelen verse cómo un monumento arquitectónico, un arte digno de admirar por todos. De hecho, son parte de las construcciones más prestigiosas y profundas que existen alrededor del mundo.
En Panamá, este tipo de arte suele ser bastante predominante gracias a lo que enmarca, “la religión”. Cabe resaltar, que la primera iglesia más famosa, es la catedral, y que luego de ella le sigue la iglesia “Nuestra Señora del Carmen”.
Antigüedad de la iglesia Nuestra Señora del Carmen
A pesar de que dicho monumento lleva años e incluso décadas de haberse construido; hasta el sol de hoy, la iglesia permanece bastante activa, e incluso, puede apoyarse mediante una página web, en la cual se tienen definidos los horarios de las misas.
Por otra parte, cómo es de entenderse, el nombre de la iglesia viene a partir de la veneración a la Virgen María, conocida también en Panamá cómo “Nuestra Señora del Carmelo” o “Nuestra Señora del Carmen”. Hace varias décadas, específicamente la de los 40, existía una especie de culto en honor a esta Virgen; ellos se llamaban “La Congregación de los Carmelitas”. Se podría decir que allí comenzó todo; sin embargo, no fue, sino en los años 1947, que comenzó la creación de esta gran estructura religiosa.
Para el 7 de julio de ese año, se dio un primer paso, colocar la piedra que daría inicio a eternos años de avivamiento de este culto. Este acto fue llevado a cabo por el arzobispo Francisco Beckman.
En los años 1951, el día 16, se inauguró esta iglesia como obra de arte en Panamá; y en el 1953 se bendijo, para que tuviese una visión a futuro, teniendo en la actualidad, los frutos de esa cosecha.
Ahora bien, toda la totalidad de la construcción acabó en el 1955, cuando realizaron dos puertas enormes que tienen forma de torres.
Día especial de la iglesia
Así como en todo país, en Panamá también existen tradiciones, y una de las más importantes es la celebración de la Virgen del Carmen. Para este día, los habitantes y los turistas hacen fiestas y actividades llamativas, dejando todas las calles imposibles de transitar, debido a la aglomeración de personas.

Pero, ahora bien, lo más importante de esta fecha, la cual se trata del 16 de julio, es que veneran a la Virgen María con misas y actividades que se ejecutan, nada más y nada menos que en la iglesia monumental de Panamá.
Un dato curioso es que Panamá, por el mes de julio, se llena de muchos turistas, quienes resultan ser totalmente fieles a esta tradición religiosa.
-----------------------------------------Churches are often seen as an architectural monument, an art worthy of admiration by all. In fact, they are part of the most prestigious and profound constructions that exist around the world.
In Panama, this type of art is usually quite predominant thanks to its association with religion. It should be noted that the first most famous church is the cathedral, and that after it is followed by the church "Nuestra Señora del Carmen".
Antiquity of the church Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Despite the fact that said monument has been standing for years and even decades, the church remains quite active.
The name of the church comes from the veneration of the Virgin Mary, also known in Panama as "Our Lady of Carmel" or "Our Lady of Mount Carmel". Several decades ago, specifically that of the 40s, there was a kind of cult in honor of this Virgin; they called themselves “The Congregation of Carmelites”. It could be said that it all began there; however, it was not until 1947 that the creation of this great religious structure began.
On July 7 of that year, a first step was taken, laying the stone that would start eternal years of revival of this cult. This act was carried out by Archbishop Francisco Beckman.
In the years 1951, on the 16th, this church was inaugurated as a work of art in Panama; and in 1953 it was blessed, so that it would have a vision of the future, currently having the fruits of that harvest.
Now, the entirety of the construction ended in 1955, when they made two huge gates that are shaped like towers.
As in every country, in Panama there are also traditions, and one of the most important is the celebration of the Virgen del Carmen. For this day, the inhabitants and tourists make parties and showy activities, leaving all the streets impossible to travel, due to the agglomeration of people.
But, now, the most important thing about this date, which is July 16, is that they venerate the Virgin Mary with masses and activities that take place, nothing more and nothing less than in the monumental church of Panama.
A curious fact is that Panama, during the month of July, is filled with many tourists, who turn out to be totally faithful to this religious tradition.

i was blown away by the quality of this street art on the side of a 10 story building in Sydney.
It is the striking face of Aboriginal elder Jenny Munro, a campaigner of aboriginal rights, painted by acclaimed street artist Matt Adnate.
Framed by dripping blue, black and red paint, Ms Munro looks into the distance with a mountain sunrise painted in her irises.
The portrait of Ms Munro took Adnate five days to paint, and It's a face filled with reflection and strong resolve.
