Mr. Ghassemi-Shall faces imminent execution in Iran. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Diane Ablonczy issued a joint statement asking Iran to release and halt the execution of Hamid Ghassemi-Shall.
Hamid Ghassemi-Shall was arrested in late May 2008 while visiting his mother in Iran. This arrest took place approximately two weeks after the arrest of his brother, Alborz Ghassemi-Shall.
In November 2009 Hamid’s wife in Canada received reports that both Hamid and Alborz were convicted of espionage and sentenced to death. The legal proceedings were deeply unfair and neither Hamid or Alborz had a meaningful opportunity to defend themselves. His conviction appears to be based on a document of an alleged email exchange between Hamid and Alborz. Hamid has unequivocally stated that the document is a complete fabrication and that he never sent any such message. Testing and analysis by his lawyer reportedly confirm that to be the case.
Hamid and Alborz were in solitary confinement for 18 months until the end of November 2009 when they were transferred to a general population section in Tehran's Evin prison. On 20 January 2010 Alborz died in prison, reportedly of stomach cancer. Mr. Hamid Ghassemi-Shall reported that both he and Alborz were subject to “extreme pressure” during their detention.
Hamid Ghassemi-Shall was sentenced to death. His case has undergone a number of reviews, but the family confirmed in March 2012 that the death sentance has not been lifted.
Take Action
Write the Iranian authorities. Request that they:
Guarantee that Mr. Hamid Ghassemi-Shall will not be executed.
Release Mr. Hamid Ghassemi-Shall immediately unless he is promptly brought to trial on recognizably criminal charges in legal proceedings that fully conform to international fair trial standards.

More Background
The Canadian government has sponsored a resolution censuring Iran at the United Nations General Assembly human rights committee, every year since the 2003 torture and death while in custody, of Iranian-Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi in Iran. The resolution has expressed deep concern at serious ongoing human rights violations in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The violations include torture, flogging, amputations, stoning, and "pervasive gender inequality and violence against women." Canada has also "particular concern" with the Iranian government's failure to launch a thorough investigation of alleged human rights violations in the wake of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's contested re-election in 2009.
In a new year’s statement on January 1, 2011 the Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed deep concern for the “deteriorating human rights situation in Iran.” He expressed particular concern for the uncertain fate of two Canadians of dual nationality who remain in prison in Iran. (Hamid Ghassemi- Shall and Hossein Derakhshan). He further referred to reports that Saeed Malekpour, a Canadian permanent resident, has been condemned to death and that his sentence could be carried out at any time. Minister Cannon encouraged the Iranian authorities to show mercy and compassion to those who are in Iran’s prisons without just cause, and called on Iran to respect its international human rights obligations in law and in practice and to foster a more open dialogue with the international community.

Just not actually sure what it was!! Charlotte at the beach, getting some fresh air? Thought for a moment she might be trying to do an 'Angel of the North' act! For the record it wasn't that cold, just a bit of a breeze.

Today Statement #59:
Today I will change my perspective. I will see things from a different angle because if my camera has taught me anything it's the fact that if I change the way I see things, the things I see will change.
Our laundry is still waiting to be folded. We have spent a ton of time at the hospital supporting friends who have met with tragedy. This pile of clean clothes in my basement is a welcome sight. It reminds me that I have a healthy family, and that's all that really matters.

Summary Statement:
Continually being invited by society to explore the subjective in terms of self-fulfillment, where do you stand - self or other, transitory or timeless?
Abstract:
My interest is in exploring perception and consciousness in terms of both our personal, visceral engagement with the contingent world and our further objective understanding through science. How is it that the qualitative linguistic interfaces with the quantitative mathematical in cerebral terms and what therefore can one at all believe? This problem has always been difficult to rationalise in personal terms and few have been able to capture such essence as a subject for art. Perhaps the first attempt to capture this psychological conundrum in stark visual terms was made by Dürer through his Melencolia I where his enigmatic polyhedron continues to create debate. My practice based research aims to resolve much of the debate centred around the exact geometric constitution of this symbolic object and to further explore the expression of mathematical thought through the artistic representation of science.

Crynodeb:
Edrych ar ganfyddiad ac ymwybyddiaeth yw fy niddordeb i a hynny yn nhermau ein hymwneud personol, greddfol â’r byd o’n cwmpas a’n dealltwriaeth wrthrychol bellach drwy wyddoniaeth. Sut mae’r ieithyddol ansoddol yn cydadweithio â’r mathemategol meintiol yn nhermau’r ymennydd ac ym mha beth felly y gellir credu o gwbl? Mae’r broblem hon bob amser wedi bod yn un anodd ei rhesymoli mewn termau personol ac ychydig yn unig sydd wedi llwyddo i bortreadu hanfod o’r fath fel testun ar gyfer celf.

Yep, that's my personal mission statement. Maybe should've added "have fun" and "help others"... but I think those are covered under "do what you love" and "be kind to... others", respectively.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love using tape as a resist? Just checkin'.
Biography & Artist Statement:
Naomi Vanderkindren is a visual artist and educator based in San Francisco. For over a decade, her work has been concerned with topics of memory and the influence photography can have over it. She views photographs not simply as documents of the past, but as ones that can actually alter our knowledge of it through suggestion.
While photographs can present factual knowledge, the meaning they convey is often something different. What we understand through them is frequently more tied to our own expectation than objective reality. Despite that, our longing to believe in their objectivity drives us to trust them, even when they conflict with what we know. This desire can be so powerful that our own memories shift to become more aligned with what a photograph presents.
In Vanderkindren’s view, photographs are never just what we objectively see, nor what we expect, nor the concept that supplants our own memory. The world we find in them is an ever-changing amalgamation of those elements. Vanderkindren seeks to reproduce that effect in her own photographs. She utilizes historic techniques to suggest oldness, a rediscovered view straight out of history. But on closer inspection, hers is a modern world and one that exists only through photographic illusion. These are fictions, as all photographs are, combining elements of objective truth, expectation and fantasy.
CCSF Photography and You:
I was initially drawn to teach a community college because I had attended one. I received a high quality education that prepared me to complete my Bachelors and Masters degrees. I feel so grateful for that experience and I wanted to give something back to the system that had helped me.
When I began my teaching career in the bay area, I naturally looked to CCSF Photography. I was completely blown away by scope of the program. The range of courses offered by the department went way beyond what I had seen, even at many four-year institutions. Students had access to up-to-date technology and gained real employable skills. If I didn’t find work teaching there, I thought, perhaps I would take classes there.
In my first semester teaching at CCSF, I have found a welcoming program that serves a broad range of students. Some are just starting out in college, trying out different courses and looking for guidance. Others are already working seriously in the medium and are ready to begin their professional careers. The faculty and staff are constantly working to help all these students. They embody the spirit of education: highly skilled, encouraging, constantly available, engaged in the community and dedicated to service. I feel proud to contribute my own skills to this department and to serve the students here in the CCSF Photography Department.
