Probably the most photographed part of Slovenia. Lake Bled with its island and church are famous for their fairy-tale beauty. The present Church of the Assumption was built in the 17th century and the vicarage a hundred years later. But there are vestiges that date much earlier. That day we wanted to walk round this natural lake, a leisurely walk of some 6 hours. It was beautiful scenes all the way. I must have taken more than 200 photos on that hike alone. / . / Nikon D70 / Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G / Aperture: f/11.0 / Shutter: 1/125 sec / Focal Length: 28mm / ISO: 200 / . /

Outside of my church on the odd weekends after 5:00 pm mass, there can be anywhere from 500 to 1000 starlings that fly around in two or three flocks until they find some trees to populate. I managed to grab a few shots after church tonight as they made their rounds in the sky, this being one of them. I’m still unsure about posting this image, so let me know what you hoenstly think – good or bad. I do want to keep my profile top notch =)

The Dormition All stock from sxc.hu, purchased from stockexpert and dreamstime The Feast of the Dormition or Falling Asleep of the Theotokos commemorates the death, resurrection, and glorification of Christ’s mother. “Because I feel that,in the Heavens above, / The angels ,whispering to one another, / Can find,among their burning terms of love, / None so devotional as that of “MOTHER”, / Therefore by that dear name I long have called you- / You who are more than mother unto me, / And fill my heart of hearts,where Death installed you…......”(Edgar Poe)

Assumption Church is quite the gem. Located in my city, it is the oldest church in Canada west of Montreal. At the moment, the church is at threat of being closed down because it is in need of roughly nine million dollars in structural repairs, which for the most part means actually the brick work around the entire building, and a few old wooden beams that are deteriorating from water damage. The Diosece of London, whom we fall under, would rather see the building fall than hand over the money, it seems, as they refuse to lend us the cash and have made decisions in regards to the estimates on the building and the chosen contractors that seem like some sort of sabotage in the attempt to keep it open. This year will most likely be a very important year in regards to the future of this three hungdred odd some year old parish. This photo is of the sanctuary on the night of th Easter Vigil this year.

I saw this girl in Patpong, the red light district of Bangkok at night. She was crocheting something red. / Americans call crochet ‘hook’, hence ‘hooker’. No idea about her job – another proof that it’s so easy to make assumptions. Think twice when you read the titles of photos…

The Assumption Cathedral (1559 – 1585) Constructed by the order of Ivan the Terrible. Austere and monumental, it follows the forms of the Assumption Cathedral of Moscow Kremlin which was a symbol of the state power. The narrow high windows in two rows underline the impressively thick walls. The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is the most important Russian monastery and the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery is situated in the town of Sergiyev Posad, about 90 km to the north-east from Moscow by the road leading to Yaroslavl. The monastery was founded in 1345 by one of the most venerated Russian saints, Sergius of Radonezh, who built a wooden church in honour of the Holy Trinity at the Makovets Hill. Until the end of the 17th century, when young Peter I twice found refuge within monastery from his enemies, numerous structures had been constructed there. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Soviet government closed the lavra in 1920. Its buildings were assigned to different civic institutions or declared museums. In 1930, monastery bells, including the Tsar-Bell of 65 tons, were destroyed. Pavel Florensky and his followers could hardly prevent the authorities from stealing and selling sacristy collection. Following Joseph Stalin’s temporary tolerance of the church during World War II, the Lavra was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1945. On April 16, 1946 divine service was renewed at the Assumption Cathedral. In 1993, the Trinity Lavra was inscribed on the UN World Heritage List.

Locally known as Señora de la Asunción. The church was built by the Spaniards is constructed of solid rocks or stones and it has paintings on the walls that are quite attractive. There is a tower with a bell, outside the church there is another tower and there is also a small well, not deep in front of the altar inside the church where the parishoners will draw their water. They consider the water to be holy because it is claimed that it can cure illnesses. It was surprisingly discovered that though the area is surrounded by the ocean, but the water from the well is not very salty and is considered potable. Dauis Bohol, Philippines

Question Your Gender Assumptions
by OneMultipleCodeIdentity: I do not personally consider identity to be a product of biology.
This is a monologue. It is framed by the theme of contextual personhood. I understand the potential that some people might feel greatly offended after reading this monologue. However, this piece itself is not offensive, rather, offense may come from the stark contract between cultural perspectives. Also, this piece calls into questions many political slogans that have been used in social change movements for gay rights and trans rights. Justice is about equality, not pathology (Judith Butler). We need new political organizing strategies anyway, ones that do not exclude so many people…I have worked for gay rights, bisexual rights, trans rights, immigrant rights, the rights of people of color, the rights of women, the rights of children, the rights of men, the rights of monogomous gay couples to marry… always on the terms of a binary body/gender/sexuality culture. I am still waiting for these people to work for my rights…

boy's club
by Bronwen HydeOnce again last night on an online forum I was reminded of the element …
Once again last night on an online forum I was reminded of the element of commercial photography I particularly dislike. That of the “boy’s club” mentality of so many male photographers in the industry. Coming across a thread about model / photographer’s releases started by a model (who, by the way, seemed to avoid the thread after that), I decided I’d share what I do in terms of a general description of the photographic agreements I have in place with my clients and models. Having seen the way subsequent photographers (including one woman in particular) were torn apart I guess I’m happy I got off with minimal notice the way I did. What disturbed me about the thread was the derogatory manner with which the photographers assumed superiority over their models; as if models, like all good Victorian (the era, not the state) children, should be seen and not heard. Admittedly there are times when I am thankful I can model for myself just for simplicity’s sake, but in many cases these photographers would be nowhere without their models. In addition, the way that the male photographers (including one who is only 26 and has only been practicing photography for two years according to his profile) tore into other photographers including one woman in particular who was willing to voice herself in this area and defend herself once attacked (for I can find no better description of the way in which some of these folk took to her comments). To a large extent, forty-something and older male photographers assuming superiority over female photographers never surprises me. However to see that this is still something being fostered amongst the younger generation of male photographers saddens me. One thing I’ve been aware of almost since I started pursuing photography is the (false) view that a photographer’s skill is measured by the length of their lens or the dollar value of their kit. I don’t disagree that using the right equipment for the job is valid, but just because you have a high-end camera, lighting and a studio in a fancy part of town does not make you a master photographer. Many of the photographers I know of who have all the bells and whistles and make no bones about telling you all about them in detail, I find often take the most uninspiring and cliched images. Yes, they are technically perfect: well-lit, well-exposed, pin sharp. But they’re boring. And so many of those photographers love shooting nudes, which are also, for the most part boring. Because of course another part of showing how successful you are as a photographer is by how many young, beautiful female models you can get naked in your studio. Not to forget, as the 26 year old male photographer above states in his profile, that it is important that his models be “tall and skinny fashion models for test shoots, and yes you need to be tall and skinny and (ideally) with an agency. It’s not like I’m going to be mean to you if you’re not tall and skinny, but I will point you to my rates.” Le sigh. All this is by no means to say that I am against male photographers in general – quite the contrary, I am regularly inspired by many male photographers (and males working in other areas like film and music). Nor that I am against nude photography – some of my favourite photographers create honest, raw, stunning nudes that not only beautifully capture form and the human figure, male or female, but also capture the essence of their subject as a person, not just as an easily substituted body. But the three reasons I personally found the responses from some of these people irksome were: - The assumption that you cannot write up a photographic agreement without having some sort of law degree. I have dealt with publishers, photographers and so forth who have put together plain language contracts that clearly state what is required of both parties, who owns copyright, what the usage rights are for each party and so on. As these documents are not full of legal doublespeak and therefore eminently more understandable to the average Joe (or Josephine) I understand they are as enforceable as any other contract as long as they are signed by both parties. The photo agreements I tailor to each client / model allows protection for both parties and clearly state what each party can expect from the other in respect to the shoot. In the event that an image or series of images of any of the models I photograph were to be sold for usage by a third party I clearly state that this would be subject to a further agreement, and in that instance I would seek legal advice. As it happens, to this date the usage requests I have received and accepted have all been self-portraiture so I have not had to deal with this element yet. - That my view was dismissed because “Has it occurred to you that he is in Australia, which does not have the kinds of rights of privacy and publicity laws the US does?” I think that’s a simplistic way to ignore someone given that many of our laws are similar, though admittedly (and thankfully) Australia is (thus far) less sue-happy than the United States. - That as I was a photographer I was assumed to be male. The person (supposedly) defending my (naive, in their view) response managed to take the time to note my location from my profile, but didn’t manage to read the word “Female” which appears above my location in my profile on that site. Because unless my name is a blatantly obvious feminine one (though Bronwen is just that, given that traditionally names ending in ~wen are feminine, and ~wyn are masculine, in Welsh grammar) the assumption is that as a photographer I must be male, and models should, for the most part, be female. As I said: boy’s club. And perhaps that is why I got off so lightly, because I was assumed to be male, though I did assert otherwise in my response. To balance all that I have said above and make it clear that this is an element I dislike, not a blanket statement about all male photographers, let me introduce you to some of my favourite male photographers: Lou O’Bedlam / Jon Jacobsen / Andrew Farrington / Brett Walker / Eamonn Harnett / Federico Erra / Patric Shaw / Simon Pais-Thomas And since I’m in a giving mood, here are some of my favourite female photographers: Katie West / Kristamas Klousch / Olive and Rose / Samantha West / Elle Moss / Bogna Kuczerawy / Brittany / McKenzie / Lara Jade / Julia Galdo / Miss Aniela / Haggis Chick / Kate O’Brien / Ola Bell / Shannon Hourigan All of which are doing wonderfully creative things, whether with honesty and raw imagery or with highly fabricated fairytale-like worlds, and many of which include nudity in their oeuvre in ways that are not banal and soulless. Thankfully there are far more people producing wonderful photographic work within all areas of the industry than those who continue to uphold the “boy’s club” mentality.
