  Hair torture
  by John Spies

  This picture was taken on kodachrome slide film in China in 1982. The slide has not survived the passage of time well and is covered in mould, too much to clean off in photoshop. But, it depicts a rather archaic and dangerous looking contraption, and i thought the grime on the slide augumented the antiquity of the scene, so I decided to upload it anyway.

  *JEFFERSON MEMORIAL*
  by van049

  JEFFERSON MEMORIAL / Best viewed large. / / The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is a Presidential Memorial in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, an American Founding Father and the third president of the United States.The words of Thomas Jefferson, some written more than 200 years ago, have shaped American ideals. / The neoclassical building was designed by John Russell Pope. It was built by Philadelphia contractor John McShain and was completed in 1943. When completed, the memorial occupied one of the last significant sites left in the city. / / Composed of circular marble steps, a portico, a circular colonnade of Ionic order columns, and a shallow dome, the building is open to the elements. Pope made references to the Roman Pantheon and Jefferson’s own design for the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. / / It is situated in West Potomac Park, on the shore of the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River. The Jefferson Memorial and the White House located directly north, form one of the main anchor points in the area of the National Mall in D.C. / The Washington Monument lies just east of the axis on the National Mall, and was intended to be located at the intersection of the White House and the site for the Jefferson Memorial to the south; soft swampy ground which defied nineteenth century engineering required it be sited to the east. The Jefferson Memorial is managed by the National Park Service under its National Mall and Memorial Parks division, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. / / Today, many of Jefferson’s impressive, stirring words adorn the interior walls of his memorial. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands as a symbol of liberty and endures as a site for reflection and inspiration for all citizens of the United States and the world. / / For information on this historic monument, please go to THE JEFFERSON MEMORIAL / / / / For further information on this historic landmark, please / visit JEFFERSON MEMORIAL

  THIS IS STOCK FOR A GROUP
  by Arletta

  Don’t be frightened, it is only stock for JPG Cast Offs and, uhm, maybe that other group, if I can remember what the name of it is. Yes, oh yes: I have been told the same basic thing, time and time again: stock photographs must still be professional quality. No one can do anything, not even by manipulation with something so low quality. Garbage in, garbage out. Blah blah blah In reply, I have only one thing to say: THIS PS: Taken November 21, 2009, sometimes in the afternoon.. xxx

  "encouraging imagination" - Series on the Chin refugee Children of Burma living in Malaysia
  by Colinizing Photography with Colin Boyd Shafer

  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this little girl, stayed after morning classes were done (not sure why) – maybe because nobody is at home to look after her? These children are jam packed into a small school house ages ranging from 5 – 16. Even though they are Burmese refugees Malaysia does not offer them the basic human right of education. They can not attend public school. Luckily schools like this one are put in place by philanthropists who care and want these children to grow up productively with the possibility of bettering thier lives. This school was small, and always in need of volunteers. If anyone wants to make a donation or go and volunteer at this particular school I would be more than happy to put you in contact with the person in charge -Canon EOS Rebel XT, Tokina 11-14mm ALARMING FACTS ABOUT BURMESE REFUGEES IN MALAYSIA (from SUARAM’s Website) Burmese refugees and asylum seekers started running to Malaysia more than 20 years ago and the number has increased since then. Currently, there are more than 60,000 Burmese refugees registered with UNHCR but thousands more are unregistered. Between 2002 to 2008, more than 4,800 Burmese were whipped for immigration offences. In 2008, 812 Burmese children were detained in immigration detention centres. In May 2009, two Burmese asylum seekers died at the Juru detention centre due to Leptospirosis, a disease linked to contamination of food or water. In August/September 2009, another six Burmese died due to suspected Leptospirosis. In Malaysia, many refugees live in poverty. They have difficulties finding jobs due to their illegal status. Even when they can find jobs, they are usually underpaid and vulnerable to abuse from unscrupulous employers. Refugee children do not have access to public schools. As such, generations of uneducated refugees are being raised here in Malaysia. As refugees remain unrecognized by the Malaysian Government, they live in constant fear of raids, arrest and detention. Conditions in detention centres face continuous problems of overcrowding, unhygienic conditions, malnourishment and ill-treatment of detainees. Once detained, they never know when they will be released. Many have died in detention centres. They cannot go back to Burma for fear of their lives, and yet everyday they live in fear here.

  "classroom like a subway" - Series on the Chin refugee Children of Burma living in Malaysia
  by Colinizing Photography with Colin Boyd Shafer

  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia these are the 6 year olds About 30 of them are fitting into a room the size of a small bedroom, with no fan or air conditioning, all sitting at these little bench-thingys on the floor. You can see that they can’t all fit facing forward so a couple of the kids have to face backwards at the front of the room because their is no space. I am a teacher, but I have to say that this task was overwhelming. I taught them about the human body and we sang songs. I felt like more of an entertainer than a teacher, but I guess that is what pre-school is all about? My camera is fogging up as I take this shot because of the humidity in the room These children are jam packed into a small school house ages ranging from 5 – 16.
