Revolution or evolution? Fall or rise? Whorehouse or paradise? Cola or guarapo? Marlboro or Cohiba? Beans or lobster? Freedom or Guantanamo? Track suit or tie? Internet or carrier pigeon? Salsa or rap? Old-timer or Turbo? Museum or future-lab? Work or none? Hope or exile? Or a mix of all of these queries? It’s different than we think – much more complicated, deep and full of surprises. Reason enough to dedicate the 21st issue of Slanted Magazine to a young generation of Cuban designers and artists.
“Slanted #21: CUBA – The New Generation” illuminates contemporary design, photography, illustration and typography from Cuba with a special focus on Cuban poster art – most projects and artworks have never been shown outside Cuba

Tommy's homework this week is to write something about the Great Fire of London. We took a little field trip up to the Monument. I reckon his teacher will be impressed when we had this in :-)
A few years back I worked on a photo essay on the homeless and other working poor in Denver city. I was a bit apprehensive at the start, concerned about remaining non-exploitative while still capturing the brutal reality of their lives.
My concerns quickly evaporated as my urban guide introduced me to the gritty world of street survival. I met people living every day with incredible hardships who are not hopeless, not sad, but instead are beautifully positive-minded and inspiring to others.
I cannot possible disclose all of my revelations from this project, but I will name the two most important: 1) Happiness is found by being content in the moment always, and savoring the moment at every opportunity. 2) Those who have the least to share are the most generous.

Not only are small farms beginning to thrive again, but some farms have found new ways of perpetuating New England’s agricultural tradition. Every state in New England now has at least one—and often more—farming museum or working farm that is open to the public. Generations who grew up in an urban culture get a small taste of farming first-hand. Such farms offer multidimensional experiences that combine factual information with sensory memories.
My own town, for instance, preserved one lovely farm, which is now municipal land. It features a house, a barn, rolling meadows, and a strong whiff of the past. The town has formed a committee to explore how best to utilize this asset. In the meantime, families have sledding parties there in winter and stroll on the land in spring. Younger generations are given a glimpse of a slower, quieter life that connects with the natural world.
Another local farm has taken this idea a step further. It offers what I call “Farm Camp,” afterschool and summer programs where children learn about farming through direct participation. These kids don’t learn only through lectures and exhibits; they get in and mess around. They pet, they feed, they groom, they make decisions. Kid-size tools allow them to muck out stalls, haul water, and do numerous other traditional farm chores.
The kids are learning the pleasures and perils of animals, the care that they require, and the real daily-ness of farming. Not only are the campers having a great time—their enthusiasm is visible—but they are absorbing the sights, sounds, and scents of rural life. These agricultural details are becoming part of who they are. In twenty years, they may not consciously remember washing a pig. They may not even know why each spring they feel compelled to buy manure for their gardens instead of powdered fertilizer. But I have no doubt that many will have gardens—and perhaps even a chicken or two.

This was my photo essay project for Photography II at a local community college. The assigned subject was Veggies in Close by Window Light.
I shot all pictures with Exposure Bracketing with continuous shooting mode turned on (it would shoot 3 pictures then stop), so that I could pick the best exposure for the particular subject.
The rings on an onion are really cool. I also like the lighting. The one side that is lit up is facing the window, and the shadowed one is obviously in the shadows...

Between my two modules on my MA I feel like my brain is weekly saturated by my reams of reading.
This essay followed the reading of a great Brazilian novel "Memorias de um sargento de Melicias" (Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant). I really enjoyed the book but this essay almost sent me over the edge. Big academic words in English are bad enough ... even worse when they are in Portuguese!

Singer Marries Ex-Ukraine PM's Daughter
A British heavy metal singer married the daughter of Ukraine's ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Sunday in a ceremony that attracted a swarm of journalists and at least 100 well-wishers eager for a glimpse of the famous mother-in-law.
Sean Carr, 36, lead singer of the Death Valley Screamers, and Evhenya Tymoshenko, 25, emerged from the walled Vydubitskiy Monastery to a salute of ringing bells and Scottish bagpipes — and the flash of dozens of cameras.
The well-wishers — mainly elderly Ukrainian women — shouted "Happiness" in Ukrainian and English. The couple posed briefly for dozens of waiting photographers, and sipped from tall champagne flutes.
Carr smashed his glass down on the pavement, prompting applause from his new mother-in-law, Yulia Tymoshenko, who abandoned her traditional halo braid and wore her long blonde hair loose over her bare shoulders.
"The sort of woman like Yulia Volodymyrovna comes around only once in 100 years," said Lyudmila Zaleskaya, 61, a pediatrician, referring to the ex-prime minister. "Our government, our whole country should be proud of a woman like her. I'm here because of Yulia."
Ukrainian media reported that the newlyweds had been reluctant to appear before the media, but the charismatic and media-savvy Yulia Tymoshenko persuaded them to pose for photographs.
The newlyweds were driven away in a white, Soviet-era luxury car bedecked with flowers, while guests - many covered in tattoos and piercings - watched.
Evhenya Tymoshenko, a student at the London School of Economics, met her future husband in a bar at an Egyptian resort.
Tymoshenko lost her government post when President Viktor Yushchenko dismissed her Cabinet last month, but she has vowed to reclaim her seat after March's parliamentary elections.

I didn't really have any clue how to pose these peppers. They were so small, I did not think the picture would turn out as good as it did. A lot of people in class liked this one in particular. Also shot this one at f/8.
