This woman is a victim of a seemingly never ending war in southern congo. She has suffered sexual violence (rape) so severe it has rendered her incontinent. She now exists purely as a result of a courageous charity called Heal Africa, and indeed her own inner strength and faith. I asked her if I could take her portrait and she stood up (which must have been painful), straightened her back and stared straight down the lens. No stopping to straighten her scarf, no preening, no fear. Just an honesty so raw, so uninhibited and so rare, I caught my breath and thought I’d never breath again. I was totally overpowered by her intensity. After I took the shot and showed it to her she smiled and thanked me. It still gives me a shiver to look at it now. HEAL Africa calendar available now!!!

Lover
by Suzanne GermanYour eyes that reach and touch my soul / Until they go right through me
3 words say it all for me in this poem / fantasy:- / Body Mind Soul – and if they aren’t there it isn’t real. / ...... / This poem came from a deep inner place and I have re-read and reflected on its meaning which represents to me, that if love is real, body mind and soul are present and it is always two-way or it is not real. This experience and the writing of this poem marked the turning point of a huge learning curve for me in my life. / I had been holding onto a fantasy or a faded memory of a fantasy for too long and finally, encountered an experience that would intially turn my life and complete being into turmoil and eventually (thankfully), allow me to release the past and move forward. / I am now in a that space of ‘moving forward’ and it is a good place. Suzanne / 18th May 2008

The weathered hands of an old farmer rest on the old and worn back of the chair. Both have seen better days and show the wear and tear of honest work.

This child is around 8. She had just been rescued from being a sex slave to one of the militias in D.R. Congo. She was clearly traumitised and I had to photograph her in near darkness. I have hesitated all this time putting the shot up as I believe it so accurately captures her pain, I feel uncomfortable. But the story needs to be told. The pain needs to be seen, sadly. Please pray for the Rwandas, Somalias, Congos and sadly now Kenyas of this world. As long as the barbarity is repeated so will the images be. It’s not for sale. But you can still give to HEAL Africa. healafrica.org There are tickets available for a lunch where Lyn Lusi the head of HEAL Afrcia will be talking. So far no takers.

have you noticed
by ENaLuand have you noticed that we all have to multi task now. I mean when was the last time you saw someone doing one thing, one activity all …
this is what generally runs through my head moment to moment / during an ordinary day. mostly I am baffled by what human beings do / especially the way they over complicate the simplest thing. today driving in traffic I wondered what track each pedestrian was listening to on their ipods / I am stunned how unperturbed they are with what is going on around them, I guess if your gonna get squashed in traffic it helps to have your own personal soundtrack…..made me wonder what mine would be??? but i guess I digress

The Greek Diogenes of Sinope was a Cynic philosopher and ascetic. In Diogenes in the Market Place, Jacob Jordaens illustrates the story of the philosopher’s search for an honest man: Diogenes is shown carrying a lantern, which represents his search for truth. He made his home in a large earthenware tub, casting off all worldly goods except his cloak and a drinking bowl. Alexander the Great, an admirer, visited Diogenes and asked if there was anything he required. Diogenes curtly replied: “Yes, step aside, you’re blocking my sunlight.” Acrylic inks, wax and gold leaf

Does my stuff Grind Your GEARS?

I have noticed that all of the comments and critiques I have received on redbubble have been positive. While that is all good and I appreciate it, I am a fan for real harsh criticism. I have not sold a single piece so there must be something I’m doing wrong.. Is it the price, the content or is my profile picture too scary for most? I welcome you to view my portfolio and really tear it apart in terms of harsh critiques, suggestions, what you DONT like… and what you do like. I want to know why you don’t like it or why you do like it. Why does it float your boat, or why does it grind your gears. I wont cry … too much, I promise :) -Ben (bracing himself for an onslaught of abuse)
