This is a girl playing the ukulele on the sideline of a football match. It was the clown’s ukulele, who performs and entertains the children at the sports carnival. He leaves various items including unicycles and skateboards for the children to play with. This little girl caught my attention. Most children are running around and having fun – running, jumping and playing – whereas she just sat alone for a few short minutes, by herself. Behind her a game of football was being played in the background. Hard to believe.

Portrait of an Australian aborigine

The lagoon was of course not blue. the blue of the sky is false colour obtained from the exchange of the red and blue channels of an infrared picture. The photo was taken in Geelong at the Aboriginal Craft & Cultural Interpretation Centre – Narana Creations. They have a beautiful walk and lots of artwork to buy. It’s a great chance to learn a little more about Australia’s real history. If it sounds like a plug then I guess it is although only by someone who’s been there once and was very impressed. It’s my first infrared lake so I’m happy with the results.

Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people at England’s most famous sacred site Stonehenge: Photo: © Julian Andrews. Irrgil / Marrga is a words used by the Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people meaning boomerang & shield. The Bardi people are from the Dampier Peninsula situated around 200 kilometres north-east of Broome, Western Australia. They are coastal people who have looked to the land, open waters, tidal flats and mangrove creeks for thousands of years for food, law and traditions. Even to this day Bardi people continue to practice their culture and to live this way of life.

WARNING This item displays the names of some deceased members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait community. No offence is intended, however members of the Indigenous Australian community should be aware of its content if imagery or text associated with recently deceased members of their community does cause cultural harm or offence. BACK BY REQUEST 28 MARCH 2008 With the Australian Federal Government’s apology to the Stolen Generation on 13/2/08, I’ve seen quite a few ‘Sorry’ Tshirts doing the rounds. I like most of the designs I’ve seen, however I wanted to create something that highlighted the apology, but also points out that there’s a lot more things (both bad and good) that we can’t afford to forget. Enter the Sorry Cloud based on Tag Clouds that you see on the web these days (see example here ) The basic premise is that sites tag news items and the cloud displays those tags in varying font sizes e.g. the more interest in a particular tag, the bigger the font. It gives people a quick way to see what’s big in the news at that particular time. My cloud is a representation of what I think should be most important. The tags are made up of issues, people and events. Some I consider to be important because they are issues that need to be tackled, others I have included as important because I think they should be celebrated. It was important to me that the cloud wasn’t just full of negative sentiment. I understand that this is highly subjective and many will agree or disagree. I don’t expect anyone to agree with every level of importance that I have assigned to each tag. Even as I was putting it together I struggled with how much weight to give some tags. I eventually decided that it started as a symbolic image and didn’t need to get too literal in it’s application. I also acknowledge that the tags that have made it to the final product are by no means an exhaustive list of issues/people/events. Again, it is simply a representative snapshot. Finally, I am new to redbubble and new to public political comment. I think the image is within the content guidelines, but am happy to be advised if this isn’t the case and will be happy to amend the design to conform if required. Also available on a Card

The rock is sacred to the local Anunga Aborigines. Ayers Rock is the popular English designation (named after Sir Henry Ayers, a 19th century Australian governor). However, the rock’s official appellation is Uluru, the one given by the Anunga Aborigines. dinner out in the desert, watching the full moon rise Digital photography / Composition of three images

This picture of a lovely laughing child was taken some years ago now while I was driving out from Meekathara in the WA central desert on my way towards the Gun Barrel Highway. At a tiny camp called Wiluna I stopped to look for some art and come across this family sitting in their car in the shade. This child’s sweet face has stayed with me all this time but today, this momentus day, is the first time I’ve felt like I could display it. Little Debbie and her family are impoverished by anyones standard but they clearly have love and strong family bonds. This child represents what we that is we white Australians are saying sorry for. Sorry that we couldn’t see value in our fellow Australians. The first settlers here in this wide brown land. Sorry that we took little children away from their family and their country and people. Only a relatively short time ago this child and her mother would have fled at my approach fearing my whiteness and the dreadful things we whites perpetrated upon them in the name of the law. So from the bottom of my heart Debbie I would like to say Sorry. Sorry Sorry indeed I am very sorry. And I hope that now we can all go on together in peace and trust and mutal respect. For all the little Debbie’s white and black and brown and pink and yellow lets all step forward together hand in hand and welcome whatever it is that comes next…..... / . / this image was taken with an old Olympus SLR using Kodak Gold 400 asa film

Aboriginal (spiritually-centred) culture is dying, slowly but surely withering within most who claim such heritage — contaminated, corrupted, polluted — disappearing before my living eyes. My heart, my spirit ‘sings’ when ever I have the opportunity to get a glimpse of its remnants, its power, its potency within those few who still struggle to embody the essence of this most ancient ways of relating and living amongst these modern daze. The younger ones mostly want to be “rappers”, get down, and boogie, in acculturated and soul-numbing manner. It is the ways of these times, no fault nor blame, it just is for most. For years I have pined the loss of the spiritual-centre of the Aborigines and their cultural Laws and principles. A loss not only to those of the Aboriginal nations of this country, but also a loss to all of us, of meaning and perspective regarding our inter-connectedness to all that is. I am privileged to know this young man. I know his mother, and I knew his Grandfather. I know his story, his struggles and challenges. And I have witnessed his smile, when he dances in the way of the ancients — I see “them” light-up his being, whenever “they” are sung-up, to dance within him. My heart sings for that time, that moment, that glimpse. And then all returns to normal… I trust he can continue to weather the “storms” that gather around him too often in the people of his kind. I can only hope he grows stronger from each battle he overcomes, calling on the essence of his Spirit from within his body, beneath his skin. I have done this image as a gift to that young man, and to his ill and ailing mother. I wish to share this further, to others whom may hear the humming of the Storm Dreamer — I feel its time to dance, to “dream”, to clear the toxins and the toxic once again, anew… _This image has been Featured in the following RB Groups: 1 In The Beginning – Ancient Practices; Gods and Goddesses; Enchanting Powerful Photo Manipulation; This Is Relevant; 100%; and Inspired Art _ ~ As a Matted Print: ~ As a Framed Print ...and as a Card…

It’s better to light a candle than to curse the dark / In the eyes of the youth there are question marks / Like freedom / Freedom for the mind and soul / We don’t see them / See them for their worth at all / That’s why we lead them / Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them / Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them / Treat them like the enemy humanity will need them / Need them like the blood we spill and where freedom Freedom for the hearts we fill / Mislead them / They hunger for the love we give / But we cheat them The cops beat them when all he wants is his freedom / So they defeat them / Whatever spirit he’s got / Beat them And they teach them that the rest of the world don’t need him / And he believes it’s a disease that he’s heathen / Put up your fists if all you want is freedom ~ Lyrics from “In The Beginning” by K’naan. Can be heard here Original photo of “KA” demonstrating lighting fire in the “traditional” way by rubbing 2 sticks together & igniting the dry grass, which he is holding.

Since time immemorial, the Way to the Tjukurritja (Dreamtime) has been maintained and honoured through various rites-of-passage, and an ensuing disciplined life that revolved around necessary sacred ritual. Instructions from the “agents” (Ancestral Beings) of the Kurrunpa (the life force in all), were entrusted to the initiated; the enlightened, and the custodial. Often, these “messianic-like” people, living within the context of their societies and respective territories, were referred to as “people of High Esteem” … the medicine wo/men and Law men of their respective communities. With the advent and embracing of the Agricultural; Industrial; Scientific and Techno-logical Ages respectively, coupled with the spread of the resultant “Lost Tribes” and colonisation, the demise of knowledge-enabled aboriginal peoples of this world is now upon us. Some of the essential elements of Tjukurritja Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime Story) have survived in the newer societies, though much is lost through the tyranny of distance, erosion, eradication, exploitation, and the evolvement and enforcement of earth-bound time. Even though there have been many attempts to encapsulate and explain the Tjukurritja’s vitalness in definitive terms, the Dreamtime has evaded contemporary analysis and continues to elude the intelligentsia and the selfish “seekers” of the civilised world. ~ Excerpted from my short essay Before Its Gone
