Grey Nurse Sharks hang out off the NSW coast. Grey Nurse Sharks are known as Raggy Tooth Sharks in South Africa and Sand Tiger Sharks in the US. They are endangered in Australia, particularly in New South Wales waters yet the government has only made a half hearted attempts to protect the species. This shot is taken at Fish Rock, a known GNS aggregation site. While I was diving here several boats were fishing in this “protected” site (couple of hundred meter radius)...protecting = no anchoring for the fishing boats…..a joke! If there is a happy story for the GNS, its that public awareness of its plight is growing and that has to be a good thing.

Her bedside manner is absolutely atrocious. One minute she’s taking your temperature rectally with the business end of a louisville slugger, the next she’s gnawing away at the fingers on your right hand. She leaves the middle one alone so that you can properly display your displeasure.

“A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don’t find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.” / James M.

When I decided to study nursing in the late 80’s, my Grandmother; who had been a nurse herself during the war years; gave me her old nursing text book, thinking that I might get some use from it. / As a nursing text it was an amusing way to learn all the things not to do, but for a peek into the past, it was priceless. / It is inscribed inside the cover with her name, the date – 1932, & the hospital at which she did her Nursing training. While leafing through the pages this afternoon I discovered this little gem, that I have never previously come across…. A new chapter – Bacteriology – begins. Words on the page like bacterium, microbe, pathogen, stagnant pools[???].... / But also; pressed lovingly between the pages; the remnants of a daisy flower & leaf, & a hand written note pertaining to “paroxysmal tachycardia”, & numerous other notations in the various margins, scribbled in pencil, obscure references to other strange states of health. Only my grandmother would know the truth of this page….. only she knows what made her secrete a once beautiful bloom there, amongst the stagnant & diseased. I feel like I’ve stumbled upon some bizarre time capsule…..... not so bizarre really…. just a touching reminder of someone once & still greatly loved. [Canon EOS 1000D]

Mother.Culture Page _Support in a mother’s immediate family is crucial to success. If one member is not on board the breastfeeding relationship becomes vulnerable. This portrait also touches on the “family bed”. Western Culture has told us that sleeping with our children is bad in every way. I challenge this way of thinking with depicting the family bed as a sanctuary, and to be reassessed by western culture.
