Health for Humanity
<p/>
With Nicole’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity, I would like to showcase the wonderful volunteer work of colleagues of mine. Health for Humanity is a registered, charitable organization based in British Columbia, Canada. They undertook their first surgical mission to Guatemala in 2002, and have provided access to needed surgical care to more than 1500 men, women and children in Guatemala and the Philippines. Visit their website and learn more about their inspiring humanitarian work. The video was directed and produced by Ashli Akins and we have been invited to share it with our friends.
Waiting for the Aurora
…but found the Great Bear.
The Aurora Borealis was forecast to be seen over Metro Vancouver tonight. It’s now 2:30 in the morning and I think I’ll call it a night and be happy with the Great Bear, seen in a beautiful night sky, a sky that has linked our humanity since the beginning of time.
Lost and Found
Humanity Lost
The emotion felt at the Holocaust Memorial and the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
Humanity Found
The emotion felt because of the very existence of the Memorial and the Museum in Berlin.
Nicole, whose blog Thirdeyemom teaches us so much about our world through her eyes, has challenged us this week to express through photography “Humanity”. Nicole’s images and words should be seen and read by all, for they are always inspirational. Thank you Nicole.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue
The dialogue between the photograph and the painting as it changes continues until that moment when the conversation ends and the painting is considered finished. The two photographs were taken at the magical Castello di Reschio in Umbria and the paintings completed in my studio back home. I have previously posted the different stages of the second painting, entitled Cypress Alleyway, in response to a previous WPC: Layers, for those of you who would like to have a “virtual” studio visit.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fray
“Photographs will always be impressive because they show us nature, and all artists will find in them a world of sensations.”
Henri Matisse; Statement on Photography, 1908
The frayed tassels of the well-worn bookmarks of my treasured Henri Matisse: a novel by Louis Aragon, which you will have seen recently residing on my library shelf.
Take my hand
The cropped version of Silhouette 2 for the WPC seemed to deserve its own post. I hope you agree…
