Taken a couple of days ago in Ilha do Mocambique, a small island forgotten some 2500km from Mozambiquan capital Maputo. It is less than 3 km long but has more than 1500 years of history. Until 1898 this was the capital of the Portuguese colony of Mozambique and the focal point of their trade and industry. The island was a major Arab port and boatbuilding centre long before Vasco da Gama visited in 1498. The island is an amazing melting pot of cultures with influences of Madagascar, Tanzania, India, Portugal, Brazil, and the Middle East, even if 85% of the inhabitants are Muslims. Today, the island is a maze of narrow streets hemmed by tall buildings with a bustling harbour and market. I decided to work there in a school for the Art in All of Us activities. It was a long trip from Lilongwe (capital of Malawi) to get this Pearl of the Ocean. No direct transport to do the about 1000 km to the Island. It is then with patience, smile and craziness that we traveled 180 km of minibus, 60 km of pick up, 15 km of bushtaxi, 7km of bicycle, 10km by foot, 180 hitchhiking, 550 km by train, 4 km by foot, 125 km of minibus, 55 km of minibus to reach the embark to the Ilha. It was worth the nearly 3 days and nights of travel and transpiration. Kids of the visited school were really amazing and so creative ! Their drawings and poetries will be uploaded soon on our website. In the meanwhile you can see recent uploaded Jordan gallery http://www.artinallofus.org/photos.htm This picture was taken early morning in front of the green Mosque. It was prayer time. A magic moment we spent before school starts ! No photoshop on this picture. Straight from my Nikon D200!

Click Here / Upper Antelope Canyon – USA Tour 2008 The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet in elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the stream bed. Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. Wind has also played a role in sculpting this fantastic canyon.

I have been selected to join the Australian THEBIPOLAREXPEDITION and to ski to the South Pole in November 2009. THEBIPOLAREXPEDITION a not-for-profit initiative is aimed at building a new awareness about the issues facing people with Bipolar Disorder and to raise funds to give grants for vital research into the causes and more effective diagnosis. We have partnered with the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund and the Black Dog Institute, and have arranged for Network Ten to be a media sponsor. The Bipolar Expedition is an exciting adventure aimed at raising awareness and money for research into Bipolar Affective Disorder. The Bipolar Expedition involves two treks – one to the South Pole in November 2008 and one to the North Pole in April 2009. Video footage from both will be made into a documentary about Bipolar Expedition (and fundraising activities during the lead up to the treks) . I am hoping to raise money for the project through a number of activities including the sale of this T shirt. http://web.me.com/davidcregan/Bipolar/WELCOME.html

Funny how something so ordinary, can be so interesting. Captured on my way out of the Bruton Parish Episcopal Church, in Colonial Williamsburg. One of the oldest Episcopal churches in the United States, Bruton has been serving members since 1715. Famous past worshipers include presidents Washington, Tyler, Monroe and Jefferson.

Barack Obama – Change for America, for the World, for All of Us – The Audacity of Hope On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In his victory speech, delivered before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of his supporters in Grant Park in Chicago, Illonois, Obama proclaimed that “change has come to America.” Born in Hawaii, Obama will be the first U.S. President born outside the contiguous United States. He also will be fifth youngest President at the date of accession and the second since Lincoln whose primary political base is Illinois. This portrait illustrates and epitomizes the audacity of hope. President Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2009. Selected information courtesy of Wikipedia.

Hello! This week RedBubble turned two. So I thought I’d celebrate by asking the Internet how a two year old should behave. This is what I discovered (courtesy of Nicki Heskin). A two year old: - Wants exactly what he wants when he wants it. / - Will not usually give in. / - Everything has to be done just so. / - Likes to give orders. / - Has trouble making decisions; wants to be inside but wants to be outside at the same time. / - Wants to continue doing whatever he is doing no matter what. / - Wants things to always be just the way they have always been; may accept new things but wants to keep the old things too. / - May begin to bite. That all sounds about right. I especially like the biting bit … it should be a fun year! Happy Birthday RedBubble! Peter P.S. From week to week we are enormously encouraged by the e-mails, BubbleMails and other messages we get from folks about how we are helping people re-kindle, celebrate, share and develop their creative passions. Over the last two years it has been our great privilege to be able to share the creative journey with you all. Thank you!
Image was taken in Washington DC, at one of the many Metro stations. I love the contrast between items in motion and the stationary objects. Processed with Redynamix to give it a slight HDR feel. Taken with Nikon D50 and Nikkor 18-70mm lens.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. And I love dancing in the rain, with him.
Doing lots of Art during my break… But missing everyone HEAPS and HEAPS, still haven’t managed to write anything yet, but I’m working on it. :-)) / / Thanks for all of your kind messages to me, I’m thinking of you all… / / xox Thanks Jim for creating such a beautiful poem to accompany my Image! I’m truly honoured! :-) / / Passion reigned. Inside itself, seeded with desire / Life called out - / the Goddess spoke / and they were wounded. Etheric kisses / in the spin they lay, blissfully slain. I didn’t come from clay / and you didn’t / crab your way out / from under my rib. Your siren hymn made the quiet sea vibrate / these waves became thoughts creamed upon / rocks of sense / the mellow mist of conversation / sprayed into us. The copper piles of modernity / cannot rust them - / lovers, water threads / the brave garlands of ocean / seek release for your own sake / but arrive together / let the mystery of union work its way into / the folds of your odyssey. Nothing’s lost to the circuitry. Man, Woman, the mud belly of time / immaculate, complete. Copyright. 2009. / Lust 1 / / Lust 2 / / Lust 3 / / Lust 4 / / Kiss Me / / Breathless / / Us

Here comes the sun smiling / The only thing that’s true / There’d ever be a time for us to recapture / All the time we lose Cause it’s plain to see / A storm is not the weather / And i’m telling you girl / You’ll look at them and smile dEUS
