A flag painstakingly created by me! Its the outline of the Korean Flag with the American Bars and Stripes in the center all surrounded by the colors of the many African Nations ... luckily many of the flags of the African Nations share the same colors of a lot of the flags of the Native American Nations.
So here is my contribution to the country Osolage by creating our flag. When they put me on the first Osolage penny they will say Lightfoot was a Native-African-Korean American with soul and spurs! Not to mention addicted to grape soda-juice, Kimchi, and horror movies ... AAAAAAAAAGH!
Enjoy
To celebrate Flag Day on June 13, for the 8th straight year the U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section organized a competition with high school students to develop depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. Nearly 300 enthusiastic high school students took part in the competition which took place at the Ambassador’s residence where they exhibited the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements of each of the states, in order to convey the message for this year’s theme: “America’s Strength: The Diversity of Its People”. First time participating, this year's high schools were: Gheorghe Lazar (Bucharest), Mihai Viteazul (Bucharest), Nicolae Balcescu (Oltenita), Decebal (Bucharest) and Ion Neculce (Bucharest). The winners received American books, music and movies (Lucian Crusoveanu / Public Diplomacy Office)
The flags on display at the CND Wrap up Trident MArch, January 24th 2015.
Wrap up Trident was a CND run protest march on the 24th January 2015. This was my first protest, both photographing it and participating. When I left my house for the hour long journey into central London I was hit by a sense of excitement and trepidation, hoping I could get good photos from a one off event. It took some time to find the base of the protest, outside the MOD, building Whitehall but I was still the first photographer there. Everyone was more than happy to be photographed while carrying the 2 mile peace scarf, marching to Old Palace square and at the Rally.
I have been very encouraged by this event to go and cover future protests.

Semaphore was developed in the late eighteenth century to pass messages over distances, especially from coastal sighting points to large cities to notify when ships where sighted. The system was refined using flags for maritime use in the early nineteenth century.
Famously the Beatles album Help (1965), was to have the four Beatles spell out the title with their arms. it was deemed aesthetically unpleasing, and the band's arms were instead positioned in a meaningless but aesthetically pleasing arrangement for the final version of the album art.
This is the position for spelling HELP.
Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.
