Random Fact: I needed to see something cute when I walked in the door and when I turned the corner she was standing there waiting. When she saw me she came running to see me. I love her!

What is Picture Peace?
Picture Peace is a creative activism movement, founded by career photojournalist Barry Kirsch, to help bring about world peace by transforming every citizen on the planet into a photographer.
How will a world of photographers bring about global peace?
It’s simple really: there is an unspoken code among photographers that all photographers are friends. Whether you work for rival agencies or not, in the field, every photographer watches out for and readily assists any fellow photographer in need.
If all photographers are friends, and friends don’t fight with friends … then a world filled with photographers would equate to a world full of people looking out for one another, thus creating an environment in which peace is transformed from possibility to reality.
Every individual on this planet is unique, varied and invaluable. Much like the distinct, nuanced reality each photographer sees when looking through the lens of her or his camera. Picture Peace believes that every individual perspective is not only beautiful but also vitally necessary to creating a worldview that reflects all of the rich layers, unexpected angles and deep dimensions of the human experience.
Therefore, the mission of Picture Peace is:
Peace through understanding.
Understanding through dialog.
Dialog facilitated through photography.
How does Picture Peace work?
Photographers of every age, ilk, and skill level are invited to join the Picture Peace movement by embracing the photographers’ code that “all photographers are friends”. By embracing the Photographer’s Code, each Picture Peace member commits to mindfully promoting peace within their personal sphere of influence by treating all fellow photographers with care and compassion, no matter how different their respective worldviews may seem.
Beyond that commitment, Picture Peace is a community; a place for photographer friends to gather, share their photos on an equal platform (in this space: first time photo takers and camera phone junkies are on equal footing with veteran professional photographers) and engage in open-minded dialog initiated by the sharing of that work.
Each Picture Peace member is provided with a profile page where they can upload photos to their own gallery or group galleries; participate in forum discussions; and search for SHOOT INs and other Picture Peace events around the globe. Share your images, share your photography skills, and share your life.
To create your Picture Peace member profile, we ask you to upload a BLACK & WHITE image of you holding a sign that says Picture Peace. Why black & white? Because: while any human life on this planet remains in the shadows of violence and strife, Picture Peace will bear witness to that by keeping ALL of our profile image black & white. When world peace is truly achieved, we will celebrate by collectively switching to color profile images (we may also change temporarily to color images in support of global peace efforts and celebrations, to be announced).
To capture your official Picture Peace black & white profile image, either take and upload one of your own (see photo requirement guidelines) OR attend one of our SHOOT IN events around the globe where communities of photographers will gather to take their profile images, engage in fun dialog about life and photography, and otherwise have a sensational time.

Written by George Pollitt. Inflammation has become somewhat of a buzzword in nutrition circles over recent years; in fact it’s become so popular that most people would have been told to avoid ‘X food group’ because it’s apparently the cause of their inflammation, or sipped on an ‘anti-inflammatory smoothie’ from the local café. I am […]

With its UCMAS (India) Pvt. Ltd., was established in the year 1999 in the month of September. National corporate office located at Anna Nagar, Chennai-600 040, UCMAS started its Indian operations. Bringing the Concept to India as a National Franchiser, UCMAS-INDIA took the responsibility of spreading the concept in the entire country to benefit the children across all parts. Ever since inception, the company grew steadily appointing franchises not only in Chennai but also outside the city – in various district locations. Today, UCMAS has centers in all the states of India. Apart from the Metro and other cities, UCMAS has presence in all the towns, big and small and even in developed villages across the country. With the appointment of Master Franchises for all the states, UCMAS-INDIA has decentralized its operations with the sole idea of reaching out to more and more children and thus benefiting them. UCMAS Network today comprises of 2400 centres all over the country with more than 5000 Course Instructors and 5 lac and above student enrolments. The large network built has been the result of collective efforts of all the members of UCMAS family over the last 11 years.
UCMAS – India always had a special focus to offer Abacus Education to children from economically backward families, orphans and the have-nots and hence initiated action towards this objective to start training centres tying up with NGOs. World Vision, India was the first to come forward and through their program they had initiated Abacus Education to the children of Tsunami affected families in the Tamil Nadu Coastal towns post year-2004. UCMAS India understanding the role they needed to play in the yeomen service to benefit these children provided Licensed centres, training to Course Instructors, material such as Abacus, books, etc., all at concessional prices Children in these centres do not pay fees, World Vision and UCMAS – India support each other in this project. More such plans are in the offing.
Before India became the hub for Abacus and Mental Arithmetic education, with Chennai as the happening place, there were only a few countries who were engaged in this field and all of them were in the far-eastern belt. With India becoming the fort for UCMAS Abacus Mental Arithmetic program, now calling India a Gateway for the program is no exaggeration.
