Me, hiding behind my camera as usual... I remembered my 7th birthday party during this event.... I've always felt awkward and have a need to be doing something separate from the crowd at events or parties
An exhibit featuring photographs and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER by Didier Lefevre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frederic Lemercier, which The Boston-Globe praises as "An inspiring, beautiful book ... The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."
SHOW DATES: April 23-May 19
Mon-Friday: 10AM-6PM
Sat-Sunday: 12PM-6PM
OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.

Stephanie in the VERY dark background, speaking to the group about her crusade for doctors without borders. This was Friday evening (7:30-9pm) for the charity portion of the program. It was a very good presentation!
Need I say the clicking of needles was damn near deafening at times!
i like picking out the detail of lucy's work, and using them out of context. This includes using her test tiles which detail the numbers of the glaze used.

Lake Inle is famous for the handcraft of its people. It is one of only few places where Lotus is spinned. This nice lady is making the garn for the textiles.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

Taken on a small market next to Lake Inle. You find all kind of food and spices on a Burmese Market. They also sold dried pepper.

"A newfound love of Zentangle has inspired me to interpret the art form in mosaic--a new mosaic genre that I call ‘MoTangles’. I chose a dove for this project for the peace it symbolizes, which I sincerely wish for the world."

During the dry season we got a glimpse of what a monsoon probably looks like. While waiting for a local bus to arrive two hours late just in time.
During that time I took pictures of people on the street like this lady. The Burmese women mainly carry goods on there heads. Amazing to see sometimes how they manage to balance everything.

Militias like these and government soldiers have been equally guilty of
using rape as a war crime.
Soldiers of General Ngodjolo in his strong hold are seen in the village of Zumbe in Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo on Oct. 24, 2006. The militia and government forces in the Congo have been accused of using sexual violence as a weapon of war.
