Dearest Ice-Cream Cone
Aah! Heavenly Skin
Lakin Ogunbanwo, ‘Standing Man (Clothed/Nude)’
This young photographer has emerged from Nigeria’s burgeoning advertising and fashion industries, fusing a pop aesthetic with classic studio performance to create a disturbing visual vocabulary. Playing with complex codes of gender, the body Africaine, taboos and fashion iconography, he creates images that are visually challenging and moving. http://str8talkchronicles.com/this-is-my-africa-how-continents-young-photographers-have-reclaimed-lens-from-the-west
I like! Anonymously written as a Command to the Spirit.
“Be contained: within the tomb, within a vessel on the porch, within a gleaming glass vessel impaled on a tree or filled with colored water and set in a window, within a whitewashed rock boundary, within a line of quartz pebbles. Be healed of loss by association with an immortal tree. Be attached to the spiritual flash of mirrors, tinfoil, silver balls and chrome; be warned or exalted by their spirit-repelling and spirit-attracting flash. Complete your circle, travel your life protected by a perforated disk, proof to the witches; say the same thing with a dime on a string, or with a tractor tire planter in a yard (but tell strangers the rubber is just to keep weeds and water out); stud lawn and yard with automobile tires, whitewashed and serrated, like a sun streaming rays; wheel variously, in your car, on your lawn, in your tomb, with radio dials, telephone dials, and clock faces without hands!”

Fireworks & Veterans Be Courtous
After interning with Julz Hardrict at the VA hospital we got to see the harmful effects fireworks have on veterans. To see them screaming, crying, and covering their ears to escape the sounds was sad. Fireworks can cause post traumatic stress disorder PTSD, memories or flashbacks of combat. –http://ecomergefireworks.weebly.com/fireworks–veterans.html
