Knowledge Has A Mind Of It's Own
Inspired by my own drawing from 1984, when I was 7 years old, for my Grandma (it could be 1982, but I can't read my own writing :) I've wanted to do this photo for so long, and am so thrilled I've finally done it.

Two weeks ago, I received a message from one of my fellow photographers Kelso, who told me that the folks over at Les Artisans D'azure were extremely interested in working with me. I've always been a huge medieval buff so I made some time in my crazy schedule and squeezed in a quick visit. When I got there, it was like being a kid in a toy store... I was running around having the time of my life checking out everything they had to offer. By the time I left the store, we had already set a shoot date, found ourselves an awesome location to shoot at as well as developped a vague story. By the evening, after a couple facebook shout-outs, we were at 20 models.
A couple days later, I had assembled my assistants, makeup and video crew. A week later, we had horses confirmed. A couple days after that, LL Lozeau agreed to sponsor about 40,000$ worth of profoto flashes for my shoot. A couple days before the shoot, we were at 55 confirmed participants... Things were going amazingly smoothly...
The day before the photoshoot was a whole different matter... weather forecast announced -3 degrees the day before with snow, hail, 30km/hr winds and general unhappiness all around!!! Myself and a couple others set out to camp out the night before to get in some location scouting and planning and had a merry campfire in the wind, hail and more. Of course, no signal at the medieval village supplied by L'Atelier du Loisir meant that we had no idea how many people were actually going to show up the day of the shoot so we kept fingers crossed while huddling under the blankets.
I was pleasently surprised to see over 80% of the people that had commited actually showed up under the cold rain to join us for this amazing photoshoot. We had the most amazing committed models trudging and shivering through rain and mud just to take a couple epic photographs.
Here's one of those shots.
Be sure to check back soon... Behind the Scenes video by Laurence and her crew coming up soon :)

So here's the story behind this piece.
The lovely and talented Colleen Wainwright asked if I would like to contribute something for her 50-for-50 project. It's a fundraising campaign for WriteGirl, an L.A.-based nonprofit that benefits teen girls.
My answer? Of course! But what could I possibly do? Make a cross stitch pattern?
Yup.
You can buy a copy of the pattern or a bundle of desktop backgrounds which includes this design here, or you can bid for the completed piece in this auction. You can read more about it and the inspiration for the text of this piece here. Every cent will be donated to WriteGirl. Neat, huh?
Oh! And if you want to see detail shots of this piece while it was being made, you can go here: beefranck.tumblr.com/tagged/boulder - LOOK AT THE PRETTY.

Another beautiful Captain Marvel costume, and she inhabits it so very well.
But there was another reason for me to get this photo: she offered me a glimpse of what my pal Xeni Jardin would look like as a cosplayer.
Just a glimpse, mind you. But it's a promising sign that perhaps we should all get an IndieGoGo thing started to buy her a uniform.
[Update: this cosplayer is on Tumblr. She also has a great Tasha Yar cosplay.}

The Book www.indiegogo.com/projects/this-is-my-country-a-photobook...
This Is My Country will be a hard cover book of 112 pages with 70 black and white photographs and an introduction by aboriginal writer and film maker mitch torres. It will be printed in a hardbound edition on 170 gsm paper at Ofset Yapimevi in Istanbul where all of FotoEvidence's high quality books are produced.
By backing This Is My Country you will be part of creating an enduring document about the struggle for justice of Australia's First People and supporting Aboriginal communities as they fight displacement.
KENNEDY Hill is an Aboriginal community in the remote town of Broome in the Kimberley, in the north-west of Australia.
The community exists in the shadows of Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett’s commitment to close down approximately 100-150 Aboriginal communities in Western Australia.
There are more than 270 remote Indigenous centres in Western Australia and between them they are home to 12,000 people. Some of those came to Kennedy Hill to find a home, but scant accommodation has resulted in over- crowding and, in the end, demolition of unsafe houses.
Australian award-winning photojournalist Ingetje Tadros spent four years working with the Aboriginal people and documenting the confronting daily life within the Aboriginal community.
“I’ve always been appalled by the way the Aboriginal people were treated and it just disturbed and disgusted me, so I decided to have a closer look and started mingling with Aboriginal people about four years ago,’’ she said.
‘‘At first I spent time in the little bush camps where they were carving boab nuts and where they were eating and drinking, and I started taking portraits. I always gave them the images and they were always received with a big smile. That was my reward, the smiles on their faces, so we started a relationship and that relationship became stronger and more intense.
‘‘Then I started documenting daily life like funerals, hunting, family fights, a wedding and little family moments. Then over six months ago I felt the need to document just one community, and that became Kennedy Hill. Why? First of all I was appalled that people are living in such poverty in a country like Australia, which is so rich.’’
Tadros said Aboriginal elders and leaders felt closing down communities was a big threat to their people.
They believed the impact of such a move would be devastating.
Communities, she said, were based ‘‘on Country’’.
Closing down communities meant losing connection to the land in which ancient stories are etched, Tadros said, adding: ‘‘My good friend Katja Nedoluha wrote: ‘To Aboriginal people, losing Country is not just like losing a home in the sense of losing a roof over your head. Losing Country is losing the connection to everything that ties them and is tied to that Country: community, language, kin, law, culture. Aboriginal people belong to their country just like your breath belongs to you. Country sustains Aboriginal people. Countrymen and women are the blueprint of their land and carry its stories, law, culture in their physical embodiment. Taking Country away from people is like committing spiritual genocide for they will be forever lost’.’’

I have not posted many photos or stories from my time with Zeitouna to Flickr. I guess because most of my more interesting photos came from Istanbul while the better stories came from my time at the Salam school for Syrian refugees. So I share the Istanbul photos here and the stories on Facebook. But that isn't really too fair for my Flickr followers, who if they don't follow me on Facebook (and you are welcome to but look me up by my full name Zebidiah Andrews) have missed many of those stories, the adventures, the philosophizing that has come upon my return and the processing of those experiences.
But perhaps a recap is in order for those who are just now learning of the trip. I traveled to southern Turkey in June with a humanitarian organization called the Karam Foundation. They have a program called Zeitouna that works with a school of Syrian child refugees in the border town of Reyhanli, Turkey. Zeitouna assembles a team of artists, athletic coaches and dentists to travel to this school and use art and athletics to connect with the children and help them learn, play and deal with the trauma they are facing from their violent displacement from Syria.
There are over 400 students at this school. And that is an infinitesimal percentage of the total number of children who are displaced currently.
So I was invited to teach pinhole photography. I fundraised through IndieGogo to pay for all expenses and supplies. I traveled to Turkey with a 100 cardboard boxes, several hundred sheets of Ilford Positive paper and several hundred sheets of cyanotype paper. I ordered chemistry from a shop in Istanbul and had it shipped domestically to the school.
I worked at the school for four days, teaching about 12 classes over those days, each class about 30 students. I would build the cameras out of the cardboard boxes overnight and pre-load them with 4x5 paper. I set up a darkroom in a basement bathroom, which was really just a toilet somebody had slapped plywood walls up around. I had to wad up newspaper and shove it in the cracks between the walls and door to help lightproof the room and then taped up a single safelight to the wall. My workstation was a wooden board propped up on one end by the toilet and a overturned bucket on the other end. Oh yeah, my trays got broke in transit so I scrounged up two bowls that had been used for mixing paint. So I had flakes of brown paint floating in my chemistry. The darkroom measured about 3 feet by 5 feet and it was easily over 100 degrees in that small room, probably about 110. I have no idea what temperature my chemistry ran at, I never checked. But you know what? It worked.
But let me tell you a bit about the children. They were amazing. I have no ties to Syria. I was one of only about two people in the group it seemed that did not have ties, by blood or marriage, to Syria. And truth be told, I knew only vague details about the Syrian conflict before I went. I was happy to help do what I could to improve an awful situation, but my motives weren't political. I have a son. Seven years old. It was hard not to draw a connection between those kids and my own son. And so I went to help them.
And they were amazing. I can only begin to imagine what they have been through, what they have seen and what they have endured. The amount of courage and bravery on display by them, just in continuing to go about life as normally as possible in a chaotic world on its head is incredible.
We arrived on our first morning at the school. We stepped out of our van onto a sun-blasted, dusty hot street in front of a ten foot wall, topped with barbed wire and broken glass. Our group assembled outside the gate, through which we could peek into the courtyard of the school to see the children assembling for their morning celebration. Pretty soon the teachers had the kids singing and clapping, chanting along and laughing and it was about this time they let us into the school grounds. I'll never forget those first looks when the kids saw us coming in. They had been told of us beforehand and were expecting us. So many little faces lighting up even further. Big smiles. Waves. Kids breaking ranks to come over, some of them enthusiastically high-fiving us, some more formally shaking our hands, balanced between formality and delight. Pretty quick we were surrounded. But the teachers quickly got them back into order with more songs. The celebration probably lasted only another five minutes but it was so incredible, it felt much longer. And then the kids were dismissed to file into the school and head for their classes. All of us lined up alongside the stairs heading up to the doors of the school and a countless series of high-fives once again ensued.
It was easily one of the most incredible experiences I have ever been a part of. And perhaps a bit of that comes through in this description, I hope so. But there is more to it. I mean, part of what made it incredible was the contrast. Reyhanli is not a... photogenic place. It is a dusty, worn-down city in the middle of nowhere - except it sits on the edge of a country at war. Its population has doubled in recent years, from something like 20,000 to 40,000 people, the influx being almost all Syrian refugees. There is nothing really wrong with Reyhanli, but it still has a wasteland feel to it. Abandoned buildings, small tent communities, trash, worn-down, the general ominousness that emanates from Syria, a couple of miles away. Dirty, empty streets, barbed wire, hungry-looking stray dogs, unrelenting sun. There is life there, but it feels bleached out in some way. And then there is this school. An oasis in many ways. So much laughter, so many smiles, a steady heartbeat of hope somehow, miraculously. That is what made it all the more incredible, the contrast. And it was a stark one.
And that is what I have for you today.

During the Von Wong Does Europe tour, I had the opportunity to meet Para-Equestrian Olympic athelete Natasha Baker. What this means for us north-american folks is that she basically rides horses in an aesthetic way. Now while riding a horse in a pretty way may not sound all that impressive, I challenge any one of you to be able to control a horse's every movement so that each move comes off as controlled and elegant! And if you're still not impressed, try controlling a horse without using a single muscle from the waist down.
Beyond achieving that amazing feat, Natasha also happens to be an extremely happy individual... not just in appearance but genuinely so. Now I haven't had much contact with many handicapped individuals but I had assumed (clearly wrongly) that handicapped individuals would experience some sort of discomfort at being different from the world. Natasha though transforms her handicap into a wonderful blessing!!
Erwan and I are working on putting together the BTS videos for these shoots and you'll get the opportunity to hear what she has to say about her and her riding... it's wonderfully inspiring and it's sure to get you inspired and excited. If you're intereseted, be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel!

On a more technical note, these shots were taken in bright daylight and we had to overpower the sun using a 500Watt flash from Linkstar supplied to us by Lovinpix.com as well as a second 500Watt flash on loan to us by horse photographer Dan Foz Foster. In addition, we threw in multiple small flashes as kicker lights.
The idea was to overpower the sun and create a nice calm image that Natsha could use as a potential banner on her website. Something casual.. beautiful.. and natural.
For those interested, check out the lighting diagrams (There are two shots because this shot is actually a composite! It would have been impossible to get these two horses to behave on the same field!)

Presenting to you the largest group shot yet of the National Slovak Theater, taken in Bratislava Slovakia during our Von Wong does Europe tour. This was one of the first shots we took in the early morning admist a sea of tourists in the center of old bratislava. Taken with nothing more than a simple 4-square softbox on camera left, the shot still turned out amazingly thanks to the overcast skies and gorgeous models.
We actually turned out to be one of the biggest attractions in downtown bratislava that day! The japanese tourists sure loved us.

I had the marvelous opportunity to travel to Israel just a week ago to visit Udi fromhttp://diyphotography.net/While I was there, I met all sorts of fantastic people through the power of facebook, one of whom isAyelet Rabinovitch - a fashion photographer based out of Tel Aviv. We were introduced by Pratik, a fantastic retoucher over at Solstice Retouch.
Ayelet and I spontaneousely grabbed coffee together sometime in the first week that I was in Tel Aviv and we instantly bonded and the idea of doing a creative and ethereal photoshoot in the Dead Sea was born. She leveraged her contacts and helped put together a co-shoot in only ONE WEEK where we managed to pull together two gorgeous models together form Yuli model agency as well as makeup artist Omai Sherit!
The entire shoot was improvised... but I'm very happy with the results... the location was absolutely sublime and exquisitely beautiful. For those who haven't been at the dead sea... although all this looks fluffy and soft, the ground is hard, spiky and generally extremely painful to walk on!!
The weather was kind to us and we were blessed with a generally overcast day which allowed us to shoot at high apertures without needing to worry about overblown highlights. The only casualty of the shoot? One of my Lumopro's fell in the dead sea =[
Special thanks to assistants/photographers Yossi and Meir Pinto for coming along and bandaging my foot after I bled all over the car XD

By this time the sun had finally hidden behind the clouds and I could finally overpower the sun to shoot this group photo. This time around, all elements were actually present (yes, we had people crawling over the roof!). I wanted to try something a little different so I actually shot the whole thing in four seperate shots to create a group panorama. Exploiting the fact that profotos at full power require 7 seconds of retouch time, I shot the subjects farther away first so that they'd be properly exposed and wouldn't expose the heroes closer to us! Friend and retoucher Chester Van Bommel (www.artsome.be) - one of the subjects that we'll be shooting in our Von Wong does Europe tour - www.indiegogo.com/vonwongdoeseurope actually helped put this whole thing together, photoshop & all.

Two weeks ago, I received a message from one of my fellow photographers Kelso, who told me that the folks over at Les Artisans D'azure were extremely interested in working with me. I've always been a huge medieval buff so I made some time in my crazy schedule and squeezed in a quick visit. When I got there, it was like being a kid in a toy store... I was running around having the time of my life checking out everything they had to offer. By the time I left the store, we had already set a shoot date, found ourselves an awesome location to shoot at as well as developped a vague story. By the evening, after a couple facebook shout-outs, we were at 20 models.
A couple days later, I had assembled my assistants, makeup and video crew. A week later, we had horses confirmed. A couple days after that,LL Lozeau agreed to sponsor about 40,000$ worth of profoto flashes for my shoot. A couple days before the shoot, we were at 55 confirmed participants... Things were going amazingly smoothly...
The day before the photoshoot was a whole different matter... weather forecast announced -3 degrees the day before with snow, hail, 30km/hr winds and general unhappiness all around!!! Myself and a couple others set out to camp out the night before to get in some location scouting and planning and had a merry campfire in the wind, hail and more. Of course, no signal at the medieval village supplied by L'Atelier du Loisir meant that we had no idea how many people were actually going to show up the day of the shoot so we kept fingers crossed while huddling under the blankets.
I was pleasently surprised to see over 80% of the people that had commited actually showed up under the cold rain to join us for this amazing photoshoot. We had the most amazing committed models trudging and shivering through rain and mud just to take a couple epic photographs.
Here's one of those shots.
Be sure to check back soon... Behind the Scenes video by Laurence and her crew coming up soon :)
