It's a shame that human rights and freedom of speech in some parts of the world are not as obvious as it should be.

Voor de ingang van Algemene Zaken, stond een jonge vrouw op een kruk met ontbloot bovenlijf terwijl ze haar borsten met viltstiften aan het roodkleuren was. Niemand wist wat hier gebeurde, na enig rondvragen zei iemand: "vraag het haar zelf maar". Dus dat deed ik. "Ik maak een statement" zei ze. Waarover, waartegen, waarom? "Een radicaal statement" zei ze. Maar ondertussen kwamen 2 politieagenten die haar sommeerden de borsten te bedekken en mee te komen naar.... nog onbekend.
Iemand vroeg mijn kaartje (heb ik altijd bij me) want ze wilden deze foto's wel hebben. Ik hoor later wel waarover dit radicale statement ging.

performance, ± 6 min. (with performativity(?) prolonged to 3 hrs)
For the pahmphlet i was stuck by this sentence within the assignment "a radical message in a radical way." So i first thought about what a radical way was. I believe this is when it's unerasable. So i was thinking about writing with lipstick on some white walls in the school and what not. Then it developped in being an unerasable image in peoples minds. Or maybe what wpuld.ignite the most reaction.
As i did a naked performance once in school, and some were kind of crossed by that. And i knew that my breasts evoked this same kind of reaction on people, both on social media, in public and even under a shirt without bra, i wanted to do something with the ridicoulousness of this given. Especially nipples being censured as breasts are over sexualized and the increasing prudishness of society, which is especially taken out on female bodies, i wanted to question the radicality of my flesh. Is this radical enough for you? Is it radical at all? Police sure did thought so.
With writing variations of this question on my breats until covered, I state that breasts shouldn't be so radical - which apparently was quite a radical message an sich

Post storm report:
We got our share of rain overnight but the gusty winds to at least 45 mph was the star of the show scattering anything that wasn`t secured.
As much as 4 inches by tomorrow night.
Our snowblower is ready to do battle.
This was later updated to 3-5 inches Sunday evening.
This female cardinal seems very well prepared for winter, with her downey breast feathers fluffed up for warmth, and her water-proof wing and back feathers to keep her dry.
And she provides a very tasteful, understated splash of color in an otherwise monochromatic winter scene on a gray, drizzly day.
I suspect as soon as she has had enough to eat at the feeder, she and her mate will find a more secluded place protected from the wind and rain for a little grooming and spooning...
Even if you don't prefer Barack Obama, I think you can agree that his logo is brilliant. I found this image online and simply added a mat and frame.
I urge all my American Flickr friends to go vote if you haven't already (I have). If you're still undecided, before you go to the polls, please read his policy statements. If you are someone who wants Obama to win, please don't let his lead in the polls make you think it's okay to stay home and not vote. It's not. The election might still be very close, and your vote will make a difference.
In addition to admiring his intellect, eloquence and already great accomplishments, I am confident that in beginning to solve the multitudinous problems this current administration is leaving behind, Obama will gather the best minds of the nation for consultation and advice and then synthesize those views into a plan of action that will heal America and restore its place in the world as the beacon of freedom and democracy it had always been. He will close Guantanamo and declare the end of torture of prisoners. While still protecting us from harm, he will move to amend the Patriot Act to return freedoms to Americans that have been wrested away. He will responsibly turn Iraq over to the Iraqis, freeing up almost $20 billion a month, and move some more of our forces to Afghanistan to combat the resurgence there of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and to find Bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, while still pursuing cooperation from our allies. He will prefer diplomacy to a show of force in confronting the challenges we face around the world. He will try to control the spread of "loose nukes." He will see that our troops have the protections they need and will make sure they are honored for their service by ensuring they get the care they need when they return home. He will assure our young people that in return for service to America, they can go to college for four years. He will give 95% of working Americans tax breaks and take some breaks away from those wealthy people who did not need them in the first place. He will reward American companies for creating jobs on our soil, millions and millions of them, by starting to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and by making America the leader in green energy. He will restore respect for science and will return America to a leadership role in combating climate change. He will fight poverty by expanding access to jobs, raising the minimum wage and supporting improvements in facilities and services in rural and urban areas. He will also see that the U.S. Department of Justice will indeed return to dispensing justice, not partisan politics, and will appoint justices to the Supreme Court who would not overturn Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose. (Even as a senior citizen, that still matters to me.) He will start reversing the mountainous debt that this administration has built up. He will ensure that trade agreements reflect respect for workers and for the environment. He will find people to staff agencies and create or reform policies that will protect our country's wildlands, wildlife and natural resources.
All of this will not come all at once (it may take years or a decade) and will not come without sacrifice on the part of all Americans, but the healing process will begin, and we will again have an inspirational leader who will discourage selfishness and call on us to be responsible citizens of our communities and of our world. We can all play a part. It can start with your vote.
Please also take a moment today, no matter whom you vote for, to think about the Obama family, who is grieving the loss of "Toot," Barack Obama's beloved grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who had "poured everything she had" into him but succumbed to cancer yesterday, just one day before this historic election. Thankfully he had a chance last week to bid her farewell and to assure her that what she did for him and his sister was meaningful and important.
Trying out a new way to process the Leica monochrome raw files. Also, unusual for me, no cropping. I decided I wanted to show the environment as well as the subject.
This crocheted necklace was inspired by a very sweet pink dress, the dress is very delicate, and flowy, so i thought of making something a little brighter to match on the runway for the show. :-)
I had chosen turquoise and aqua to go with pink and fuchsia to add a little of summer to a sweet girl that likes pink

I've seen this car around town and have meant to take photos. It just happened to be parked under our balcony, so I took a top view. Sometime I may have a chance to capture the other artwork..
To see the messages, be sure to enlarge the photo.
Frederick and Emila Wetmore were landowners here in the late 1800's Several people came later. In 1984 the National Park Service purchased this land and the remainder of farms in the area.
What is left of the farms is the Wetmore house and many stables and outbuildings. Now there are 7 converging hiking and bridal paths. Many of the farms are beginning to grow into forests with the tree plantings. I could have gone in the house further, but I lost my nerve and only stood at the open door!!!
The wall says "Tap foot twice for a Republican Congressman"
the closest thing to political graffiti i've seen in my area, i giggled

Let's the "PIMP MY AVATAR PIC" Begins!! Some kind of Photoshop tutorial for anyone in the Flickr Universe.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Settings & Photoshop:
Please know that I never specify all the settings because all will depend of your graphics and in the case of the shadows it will depend of the WindLight Settings. The distance and the power of the sun gives a particular shadow and with that you need to play a little in order to make it nice and clear.
The particles try to keep it off as the rest of the options you may no need. By example, indoors don't need much distance or HD sky and water. The same for terrain options because they only apply to Linden terrain which means the sand, the grass and the Linden trees can change with these. In short words... if you don't have it or need it don't use it. =P
+ Local Lights Off
+ Draw Distance: 96m
+ Particles Off
+ Objects and Sculpts: 15
+ Sky: 250
+ Antialiasing on: 16x
+ Shadows On: 3
+ Windlight: Annan Adored Realistic ambient
Now... with Photoshop I use my senses. I do not have a method or formula but one of the options I always use is sharpen and lots of layers... this picture wasn't the exception. I also played with color removing all the color I didn't like to give more armony. You have a lots of ways to do that and it would depend of your hand and the area you want to change.
a few things that I did:
+ Add sharpen
+ Add grain
+ Add borders
+ Remove excess of green on grass
+ Remove excess of color
+ Add magenta
+ Add contrast

When I was a Child I was ignored allot by my mother this always gave me a sense for wanting Attention, This isnt a bad thing cause everyone deserves abit of attention and Praise for good achievements.
Growing up in different Family Homes from all the neglect I suffered, Mollested twice as a Child and Beatings from My Nana I Learnt pretty fast I was on my own in this tough world,
Learned cooking @ 12 years old and was pretty good at the age of 17 years old at cooking and even got my first apartment @ 17 years old, As I said I was always alone and didnt even have a proper Bond with my Father, My mother and Nana had Kicked me out of Home @ 17 years old so I was forced out into the world and forced to pay Rent, and food @ a young age.
For many years I had problems with my Mum and Nana and I always tried to be my best for them, Always loved them and Forgived them reguardless of how I may of been difficult to deal with as a Child.
During the time of my Childhood CYFS now known as Oranga Tamariki were in and out of my life placing me in homes wherever they could, when I was 14 I lost virginity in a CYFS home which was in the living room of the home one night when all others were in bed,
I never had a sense of Family, Never knew of anyone I could Trust or Rely on. I had only myself and it was hard to deal with and so I had done allot of counselling and had also been put on Medication at a young age, I am not at all convinced Doctors are really caring after all ive been through, Some are right proper bastards that only care about selling medications and just flick you off with some medications,
Ive been through the System long enough to know how it all works, I also know that allot of people cant even begin to imagine themselves in a life style ive had.
From attending 13 different primary schools, 2 intermediates and 3 collages the constant moving around with my mother with her own BiPolar which I do not have and being shoved from family home to family home after all ive been through I know im a victim of a pretty shit deal on life that not many could compare,
If your childhood life has been better then this then leave a love heart, show your empathy as a human being, I show empathy to others daily, Im a very caring person who has suffered the lack and care from others.
I just wanted to share abit about my life, no judgements please.
