Please be aware... I am no stamp expert. Posted titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of type or variety, but I try not to double post any single items. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.

My central idea is value. I chose this concept, because my family is very important to me. Most people would say that they value their family and friends. But some people would say that they care for wealth, looks, religion and etc. I wanted to show that there are many things that people love if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I wanted to be more on the positive side, but I realized that not everything is all just happiness. So I changed a couple of my picture ideas and showed more of a darker side of what valuable means.
For my first photo, it shows religion or beliefs. I think that this works for my concept, because religious beliefs is something that some people put all of their time and effort in. It can affect how people live and how they act towards others and the environment.
For my second photo, I'm showing beauty. Many people around the world is insecure about how they looks, and how others see them from the outside. Makeup covers all of the physical marks on someone's face or body. Some people are consumed by makeup so much that they can't even go outside without makeup on, because they feel embarrassed or ugly.
My next photo shows the importance of pets. Pets can be very valuable to to a person or family. A pet can be like a best friend or a family member that you've never had. They comfort you and help you feel like your not alone. And when you have a pet, you create a special bond.
My fourth photo represents family. Family is one of the bigger values that people have. You can go to them when you are having a hard time, and count on them for anything. They're like your best friends and you have a lot of memorable memories together whether it's good or bad.
My last photo shows wealth. Individuals can be so focused on how much money they have, since they can buy anything that they desire. Some people would rather live with a lot of money than live with people around them. And in my photo it shows someone in a suit wearing a watch and having a lot of money. So I think that all of my photos fit for this project.

1) Value is presented
2) This picture is of a tree which I noticed in Brampton near Bramalea Mall.
3) As you can see, there are different shades of red and green represented with the leaves and, it is the most visually striking in this photo.
4)I think I could've had a different angle and got more of the actual in the middle of the photo instead of the side.
I always admired shots of the night sky, the milky way, star trails and its variations, but had not succeded in trying to shoot them myselves, till recently. The place where I live is termed "abode of clouds" so getting a clear sky is always difficult and as luck would have it, during all my visits to places where clear skies are the norm, the visits usually coincided with unseasonal clouds and rain. So during a recent trek in the Eastern Himalayas was blessed with clear night skies, and was able to try out a few. My first star trail pic was THIS and I was relatively happy with my efforts.
One of the nights, while we were camped at Kalijar, Singalila National Park, Sikkim, I chanced upon some dead trees which seemed to reach out to the skies and would have formed an interesting foreground element. So in the evening I placed my tripod for my frame, envisaging that I will take the FG shot in the twilight and then after dark will shoot the stars, merging them later in layers. Leaving the tripod, I went to shoot the Kangchenjunga. which was then partly obscured by clouds but suddenly at the time of sunset, the clouds below the peak lit up in glorious colours and the whole view of the mountains turned magical. So had to pick up my tripod from its position and shot the peak to my heart's delight.
Then when the stars came out, I tried to recompose my frame, but now my camera position was not the same anymore and as it was very dark, difficult to frame it properly. Plus my site was way above the campsite and my fellow trekkers were not interested in taking night shots, so I was up there all alone in the pitch dark. And due to cold, my lens was frosting over fast, and it was very difficult to shoot, with the lens requiring constant wiping. As it would be very difficult for me to use my earlier FG shot, due to change in my camera position, I used my headlamp to lightpaint the tree, though in my excitement, anxiety and cold induced numbness, I didnot focus on the tree while painting it. I then got my sky shots, some of which were usable (others got fogged over due to fogging on the lens), and back home decided that the scene looked more appropriate for a vortex star trails. Took me days to figure out how to create it, but atlast I could manage something.
So here it is, not the greatest of night shots, just one on my learning curve, hope to improve in days to come. Sincerely want feedback on how to achieve proper night shots, and it would be most welcome.

The words also have a 3D effect. The purpose of such typographical use is to catch the eye of the customers to alert them of the current deals of the restaurant.

The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.

Sacramento, CA
September 7, 2017
Buses from all over the state brought people to Sacramento to support immigrants and push for a STRONG CA Values Act (SB54). The CA Values Act limits local and state resources from fueling the painful deportation machine and ensures that schools, health facilities, courthouses, shelters, and Department of Labor Standards Enforcement facilities are accessible to all Californians regardless of immigration status.
A rally at the state capital was followed by a march to the Sheriff's Association building to protest the Sheriff's Association's efforts to water down the bill and its protections.
