From The People of Detroit Photodocumentary
-View large-
What I love most about my self-created job with The People of Detroit, is I get to introduce the rest of the world to Detroiters who are like me... but better. Jack VanDyke is a bicyclist. That's the "like me." Jack VanDyke also donates a significant amount of time and resources to nurturing the development of children to which he is genetically unrelated. That's the "but better."
Jack is a member of The Hub of Detroit, a bike shop and cycling outreach collective dedicated to increasing community access to bicycling, promoting bicycle-related sustainability practices, and youth development programs. Their Mechanics in Training program is a paid internship program that gives 14- to 18-year-olds the opportunity to learn about bike repair and then gain real-world job experience in the Hub's retail shop.
Visionary.
In a city where public transportation is less than comprehensive and in a world where petroleum is fated to become exponentially more scarce and less affordable, it is utterly necessary to show young people that bicycles are a sustainable, cost-effective, healthy, and – most importantly – fun way to get around.
I am so impressed by The Hub's vision, that it inspires me to imagine my own future. I imagine a future self that is infinitely more patient with children. Despite there being absolutely no evolutionary advantage to doing so, Future Noah volunteers significant time mentoring hundreds of children that he did not father.
With his betterment complete, Future Noah may even take a picture of himself and tell you all about it.

Noah Stephens founded The People of Detroit Photodocumentary in April 2010 as a counterpoint to media fixated on despair and disrepair in the storied birthplace of American auto manufacturing. Since, TPOD has received national and international attention. Portraits from the project have appeared in Bloomberg BusinessWeek and other national publications.
In early 2011, a creative director saw the project online and hired Noah to shoot an ad campaign for McDonald's Corporation in Shanghai, China.
The People of Detroit Photodocumentary is funded in part by a grant from CEOS for Cities and the John S. And James L. Knight Foundation.
I was waiting for my friends outside a restaurant at night, and I saw this hair salon and as portrayed it was almost a monochrome.I thought it might
be an interesting composition.
I took several shots and opted for the one that gave the impression of "peeking" in. I had thought of making it entirely monochrome, but the little color added another dimiension of interest IMO. I try not to use selective color if I can find another way . . . and I did.

The particular spot downtown has been a source of two photos in this photostream . . . with differing messages. I always check in when on my way to a music venue.
I don't know who Betsy is obviously, but the fact that she "bounced" a.k.a. . . .leaving town rapidly and suddenly, suggests she won't be back soon.
We wish you well, Betsy, and trust that your departure will assure this grafiti will never become your epitaph. ☺

I am involved in a photodocumentary group and we are photographing Balsall Heath. A good friend is Don Maclean and I took him down memory lane. This included visiting his old school on Clifton Road. Mohammad was delivering food to the school and recognised Don from his Crackerjack days. The project which is being done in conjunction with a group of photographers will hopefully be published in a book.
The Malecón (officially Avenida de Maceo) is a broad esplanade, roadway and seawall which stretches for 8 km (5 miles) along the coast in Havana, Cuba, from the mouth of Havana Harbor in Old Havana, along the north side of the Centro Habana neighbourhood, ending in the Vedado neighbourhood.

Heather started out in photography as an undergrad arts major at St. Kate's in St. Paul. Now the Mom of two bright teenage daughters and the "Boss Lady" of Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center (www.cafac.org), Heather is heavily involved in the arts community of the Twin Cities. Her website is very interesting to browse.
Heather arranges classes for 8yo on up. She currently has a group of city young people who take to the discipline of learning fire arts safely. I'm really grateful to Heather for allowing me access to photograph and get to meet these really great kids do things very few of the peers will get to do in their lifetime. She's got a super sense of humor that goes a long way with the young people . . . and anyone who meets her has well.
I'm especially delighted to see young women take to these arts. Heather is a terrific role model for young persons and especially for young women.
Her artistry and collaboration with other artists has produced any number of public works just "hanging around" the Twin Cities. Recently she had a speaker who made artistic, sculpted prosthetics.
During World War II, the prison was occupied by the Japanese and most of its buildings were damaged by bombing. The prison was re-opened for use in 1946 after restoration. When Hong Kong was later declared a port of first asylum for Vietnamese refugees, Victoria Prison became a transit and repatriation centre. It was subsequently developed into an institution with modern management facilities for accommodating discharged inmates of both sexes prior to repatriation or deportation. The prison buildings were declared monuments on 8 September 1995, together with the adjacent former Central Police Station and the former Central Magistracy. It was officially decommissioned on 12 March 2006. It is currently under renovation and will be reopened as the Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and art.
Group of people from Rajasdhan moved to chennai for their life and living. They do idols with Plaster of Paris. They make small to large idols of Ganesha, Murugan, Saibaba, Krishna and so on. There are around 40 families settled in Manali, Chennai. It is difficult to document their activities in a short time I spend with them. But, I could manage to get some shots.
Following pictures depicts one of their family's life style, their environment and making of Idol.
Hong Kong’s Sarah Lee Wai-sze qualified for the third round of the sprint event at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday evening, but not before “scaring” her supporters.
The 34-year-old was forced to dig deep again at the Izu Velodrome to keep her medal dreams alive. Just as she had to in the keirin event on Thursday, Lee was made to come through a last-16 repechage to secure her path to the next round. She comfortably beat USA’s Madalyn Godby to ensure her involvement into the weekend.

It’s the final push for glory in Tokyo and Hong Kong cyclist Sarah Lee is among those hoping to go out with a bang.
The track cycling star is likely competing at her last Olympics, and has one shot left at adding to the bronze medal she won in London in 2012. After a slow start at the Games, Lee looks to be coming into top form at just the right time, beating Mathilde Gros and then Katy Marchant to reach Sunday's sprint semi-finals.

Occupation at the Cheltenham Rd Library in Bristol to protest about lack of provision of beds for domestic violence victims in the city
These are 3 out takes of a recent series shot Heather Doyle's well-equipped Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center (CAFAC) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is a non-profit devoted to the teaching of various fire arts . . . neon, encaustic, enameling, metal sculpting, welding, blacksmithing, etc.
It's a fabulous place for teaching as well as providing a well-equipped studio for fire artists to complete commissioned projects.
During the Summer, the University of Minnesota has an outreach program for young people 8yo to mid-teens. They are bussed to CAFAC in the morning for a week to learn a particular fire art. This is was a glass bead making class, and I have to say it was intriguing.
I've been shooting various scene at the Center for over a year now, and I always learn something new..

Hong Kong’s Sarah Lee on Sunday captured the bronze medal in the women’s track cycling sprint competition in Tokyo, becoming the first local athlete to win medals in two separate Olympic Games.
Lee, already a bronze medal winner in London 2012, added to her medal collection by beating Germany’s Emma Hinze 2-0 in their best-of-three match up.
Putting aside the disappointment of being narrowly beaten in two straight races by Ukraine’s Olena Starikova in the semi-finals, Lee looked composed in her first outing against her German opponent.
The 34-year-old sprinter comfortably took the first contest, crossing the finish line almost a second ahead of Hinze.
The second race was a cagey, tactical affair, but Lee used all her experience to explode from out of Hinze’s slipstream and accelerated to the finish line to claim the bronze medal.
Her bronze medal is the sixth medal of Hong Kong’s most successful Olympics ever.

Clark Kaikan (Clark Hall), which was built in 1959 as the student center, is next to the central lawn at the south end of the main street. Food at the cafeteria has a reputation for being tasty and inexpensive, and employees of nearby companies also eat there. As you enjoy the food, you will probably relish the feeling of returning to your student days.

Cuban Cake (5)
A man sells cakes in Habana Vieja. Raul Castro's government have brought in changes that have impacted on the social, economic and political lives of many citizens and self employment in tourism and catering is increasing.
The Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Cobre, high on a hill 20km northwest of Santiago de Cuba on the old road to Bayamo, is Cuba's most sacred pilgrimage site and shrine of the nation's patron saint: La Virgen de la Caridad (Our Lady of Charity), or Cachita, as she is also known.
Many have offered gifts and keepsakes to the Virgin of El Cobre - some of them famous. The most celebrated donor was Ernest Hemingway, who elected to leave the 23-karat gold medal he won for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954 to the 'Cuban people'.
Rather than hand it over to the Batista regime, Hemingway donated the medal to the Catholic Church, who subsequently placed it in sanctuario. The medal was stolen temporarily in the 1980s but, despite being retrieved a few days later, it has since been kept locked away from public view .
In 1957 Lina Ruz left a small guerilla figurine at the feet of the Virgin to pray for the safety of her two sons, Fidel and Raul Castro, who were then fighting in the Sierra Maestra. Fate - or was it the spirit of El Cobre? - shone brightly. Both sons are now into their 80s and still going!
More recently, dissident Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez visited the Virgin and left her Ortega and Gasset journalistic award in the sanctuary where, in her own words, 'the long arm of censor does not enter.'
