They used this to state that the COVID vaccines should not be administered because the trials end 2022 to 2023 claiming they are not safe until the end of the study. This is a fake reference as theses vaccines are currently safe and have reduced severity of infection saving lives. We need to proceed as soon as possible to acheive 75% vaccination of the population to create herd immunity to eliminate the virus and get our country back to normal.
Nowhere is there such an intersection of cultures as in New York City. As an immigrant who has lived in New York for over 10 years, traveling among the five boroughs using public transportation is still fascinating and exciting; being in this city can feel like visiting another country. People celebrate the customs and holidays of their country by wearing folk costumes on the street. Awnings with messages in entirely unfamiliar alphabets are completely common. Many of them advertise goods catering to specific nationalities and cultures, especially foods that were brought here or requested by immigrants living in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Jackson Heights, or Flushing. The packaging of these products is a form of art that tells stories and helps remind people that their culture is alive. In this way, immigrants in New York City can prevent the fading of identification with their native culture.
Blender is my ongoing project in which I investigate the diverse immigrant cultures in New York City. The project includes photos of the packaging of food products from various neighborhoods with a large immigrant influence accompanied by texts (short stories as well as notes on the history, culture, and trivia relating to immigrant-heavy areas), interactive performance, and a website. I’m showing photos and presenting short texts on the New York City neighborhoods where the photographed food products can be found. The look of these food packages often has an old-fashioned feel: bright, saturated colors and outmoded designs that are rare in both Japan, where I’m from, and America, where I now live. Through this project I hope to show that art can transcend time and language even through the simplest imagery found on a candy wrapper. Blender is a lens into New York's immigrant communities and cultures.

One of my students came in today dressed in something other than the usual jeans and t-shirt that most students wear, thought it was worth a photo. We didn't like her shoes so she traded with another students to wear these colorful Nikes that I've shown before.
The biggest challenge was ever getting the exposure right. her complexion and blond hair just wouldn't ever balance with the lighting I had. It was a good experience fo rme to try to fix it. I ran out of time to ever get it right, but I did learn a lot.

Back in my painting days, I used to like to take images from the newspapers and "edit" them into paintings, highlighting or distorting a particular feature for effect (the one on the right is an unfinished example). And now I have a Lego version of this one :)
Checking my bank statement - I still prefer to see a paper statement rather than going on-line and I still write paper cheques :)

Bridal Mehandi
Indian subcontinents weddings are highly influenced by Bridal Mehndi design traditions and various forms of cultures also show history of henna being a part of decorations during marriages. In Indian weddings Bride follows many customs and traditions as a part of her decorative collections and palms, elbows, feet and calves are decorated with the masterpiece of Mehndi designs.
Henna designs are the natural form of designs that lasts temporarily for few days and are used effectively to make designs on the hands and feet of to-be-married girl. While the color allotted by these designs may vary according to the usage and light or dark shades can be achieved, there has been a good deal of demand for professional designers who can provide their valuable art work to give an authentic as well as majestic output.
Rajasthani Mehandi
Rajasthan state of India has acclaimed praise from all around the world for its cultural heritage in the field of arts. Ranging from a beautiful artwork on pots to clothes, Rajasthani designs are considered to be ranked among the top when it comes to the expose of ancient artwork accompanied with new age fashion. Rajasthani Mehndi has a good deal of demand in the market of henna designs and has become part of occasions such as weddings, birthday parties, baby shower etc.
While a good Mehndi design reflects fashion and decorations, few mass of people also consider it as a symbol of auspiciousness and divine. Rajasthani Mehndi design has a good blend of curved figures and carefully crafted accurate handwork to match your desires and occasions. The traditional way of using henna leaves for making design cones and applying them with different shades of color is a hot trend or fashion fiesta at present.
Indian Paksithani Mehandi
Mehndi or henna has been a popular form of skin decoration in Indian subcontinent countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although it is a very old practice in these countries, since 1990s it has also become popular in many western countries being counterpart of tattoos.
Mehndi is applied on some special occasions like Diwali, Teej, Eid, weddings, birthday parties and many other auspicious festivals. Mehndi design is applied on hands or feet of a woman and it is common that to apply henna on palms where due to presence of high levels of keratin the color appears in its dark form. Fresh henna leaves are grinded and oil is added to make cones which are used professionally for applying Mehndi designs. The origin of Mehndi as a part of celebration has been found to be of ancient Indian origin and beautiful patterns are still applied to brides at the time of wedding ceremonies. Although Mehndi design still refers to the common term of applying henna on the body parts, there exists various forms and types of designs that can be further categorized based on the features and their origins. The popular designs at present are found in the form of Rajasthani, Arabic, Pakistani, and Minakari etc.
Arabic Mehandi
The word Arabic itself describe us that this art belongs to the land of "Arab." As we know the Arab's are very artistic with their culture and tradition, the same thing we could see in their art of mehndi designs.
Arabic mehndi designs are very beautiful and complete the most part of the hands and legs. In this style we can use different styles of mehndi like Black mehndi is used as outline, fillings with the normal henna mehndi. We can also include sparkles as a final coating to make the henna design more attractive.
Brides – in India, Pakistan and even in Africa – love Arabic mehndi designs and love getting the design done for their weddings. The Arab culture, especially when it comes to brides is quite popular across Asia and women in India are adopting more of Arabic mehndi designs than of Indian mehndi designs. The design usually does not cover the entire hand and leaves a lot of gaps b/w it.
That's what makes Arabic mehndi designs stand out and appealing to Indian women. Be it for marriage or a festival or any special event, Arabic designs are among top 3 mehndi patterns in the country. To get inspiration on it, you can check out the below gallery.
Gilding Glitter Mehandi
Gilding, Glitter and Gem work is a recent popular innovation in Indian bridal technique, adding dazzle and glamor to henna. These techniques are spectacular, yet easy to master. In India, these adornments are often called Zardosi because they emulate the fabulous gold embroidered, bejeweled bridal sari fabrics. As upper class Indian wedding celebrations expand to a week or more, the modern bride may wish to have her adornment match two dozen saris or more, with an artist re-applying dazzle twice a day. These transitory techniques can be used on their own, at the time of henna paste application, or to ornament the henna stain. They are designed to be "of the moment", to please the camera's eye, and delight the wedding guests.
If you're working a festival, and you're competing with other henna artists, gilding gems, and glitter will make your henna stand out from the competition! There will always be potential clients who would like to be adorned, but who don't want a lingering stain. Offer them these techniques! There are always little children who want adornment, but whom you should NOT henna for health reasons.

Yesterday 60 thousand people made a statement and took the street back. The Pride Parade was cancelled earlier this year. because of a shooting incedence outside a gaypub. Two people died.
Some of my favorites from a 1:1 shoot with the lovely Taya way back in March 2019. This was one of our early shoots and she definitely brought her A game. We did this shoot at the Capitol Building early on a Sunday morning and had the building to ourselves. Taya did three outfit changes and nailed each one of them. What a fun shoot!
