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!!!

He’s feeling crook and on the lounge, / With his buddy from the pound. / And whilst to hug does cause him pain, / When with your mate there’s no refrain. / Come lie here pal upon my lap, / Then we both can have a little nap.

A corolla winding its way down the Lake Mountain Road back towards Marysville in Victoria’s Yarra Ranges. Taken with my Canon 40D… finally! Processed in Adobe Photoshop CS and Lightroom 2. Sales 1 Matted Print Featured in the Transport group on the 15th of April 2009 On Saturday the 7th of February my family lost our home away from home at Marysville, as well as our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and our Abyssinian cat.

For the ART ACTION UNION – CREATIVE ACTIVISM group’s / URSA FREEDOM PROJECT FOR MOON BEARS challenge There is No Mark Up on this T-shirt ” WE WANT TO END BILE FARMING OF BEARS… / The Practice of bile farming is unnessary… beautiful bears are poached from the wild and tortuously bred in captivity wile they are ‘milked’ of their stomach acids for ‘traditional’ products for which there are synthetic alternatives available… “ AAU Make a donation here ” As many as 10,000 Asiatic black bears in China are locked in cages the size of their own bodies, and their bile is drained through an excruciatingly painful procedure and sold for use in traditional medicine. So they can approach the bears without fear of injury, the farmers often mutilate the bears by breaking their teeth and pulling out their claws, sometimes brutally removing whole digits. “ source They also use it in the production of some cosmetics…How F@#cked is that!!!

When you have a roll of thick masking tape and a face, you can’t help but pretend to be an emote…. right :-) enjoy x Also because i’ve recently joined the “budget photographers” group I feel that it is important to say how you don’t have to be minted to express yourself. I edit everything with Gimp which is free software, I use free lighting (high 5 to the sun anyone) and I used in this case a window ledge, jewellery box and a book as a tripod.

Your eyes won’t shut now. / Your brain won’t stop. / Sweet sleep would have come but you pushed it away. / Now it wants nothing to do with you. / You kill dreams, stab them, rip them into shreds and wad them up in grimy spitballs. You need sleep. / You need sleep. / You need sleep. But all you have is thoughts that won’t stop tapdancing on your brain, / And a twitch in your eyelid. / And a stomach of slime. You need sleep. / You need sleep. / You need… Whew! I’m going to bed. Will get caught up tomorrow. I hope someone likes this! / This is actually four photoimages (my eyes and hand included) and a lot of painting & editing…..
