A Healthy Dose of Doubt

Circumcision is becoming a hot topic for today’s expecting parents. Word is out that not only has circumcision been considered medically unnecessary since the 70’s , (even though it hasn’t been common knowledge) but also that it’s damaging! Delving into this country’s circumcision past is a disturbing enough journey; but what’s most surprising is that the cruelty and racism that seem to surround the promotion of this controversial surgery aren’t only buried in the past, but are still alive… Continue

The Hope - Paradise Regained

Man, even with the weaknesses he possesses

now, can be great if he takes to task

the well being of his fellow man. If he can

hold high virtue as his goal and peace and

harmony among men as his prime directive

instead of self indulgence, personal gain, and

the exercise of his petty antipathies, he would

be happier than he has ever been...or ever

could be.

Preparando una expedición fotográfica

El día de ayer tuvimos la que fué la última reunión para preparar un breve viaje fotográfico (del 9 al 15 de noviembre de 2011) a uno de los lugares más emblemáticos en la historia humana y natural del sureste mexicano: la Selva Lacandona.

En la preparación de un viaje fotográfico, por breve que éste sea y además de todo aquello que logísticamente es necesario para que el viaje llegue a buen término; desde acrodar el día y la hora de salida, el cálculo de la cantidad de víveres,…

Winter - time to sleep

The darkness with short days and cold nights has settled in. The knights of night are now returning to their overwintering sites here in the northern Europe - we are talking about bats. Due to the cold winter with snow and temperatures plummeting far below zero degrees Celsius, the bats in Sweden are either forces to fly south like the migrating birds, or hibernate in caves, cellars or large trees. An unexpected collaboration started a few years ago between WWF Sweden and the swedish military… Continue

Multicultural Collective Moon Festival

I do not yet know if I'll be able to attend this event, I have a previous engagement that night. However it seems like a great opportunity to capture extensive camaraderie on film. Unfortunately all I have is my flip cam. Next year I'll be more prepared and have my Pentax 35mm.

for all generations

I have never blogged before, but here goes something...

I was trying to decide what to focus on nov 11 and after watching the trailer decided that I don't have to have an agenda; I merely need to document: Wherever and whatever I can, that day is to be documented for all the interesting and mundane; the obvious and the latent; the livliness and survival; new and ancient and everytime in between; for all who are aware of the butterfly effect we live and those ignorant of lives and…

New to the community

So happy to part of this community! I'm also very interested in observing what kind of content people share with the network, what ultimately ends up being published in the library, and just how people interact in general. I pledge to be an active member of this community of practice, considering this project incorporates ALL my interest! - no more lurking for me.

One Day to Recognize: the Story of 11.11.11

To some people, November 11th, 2011 is yet another regular day that may pass as much as the next one, aside from the funny coincidence that it carries 6 (ones) in it. Well, I beg to differ; for this day is a major event for the rapidly increasing community of One Day On Earth, as it is considered a day to embrace the humanity in all of its forms and remove the differences that stand as obstacles in the way of uniting the population of the globe, by bringing them to do but a simple thing; to…
