Warming up the muscles


Image by Carlo Nicora
Tai stretching his muscles before dancing in front of our cameras. London, 15th November 2008.

When I told him to get ready for the second part of the session, Tai got dressed and moved in front of the light. I already won his confidence, so I stepped closer and sat in front of him.
"So, what would you love to see, if you had to see yourself in a photo" I asked him.
He looked at me, smiling. I bet he already knew the answer, nevertheless he waited, as considering his options.
"Me in the air" he said "jumping"
"Nothing easier! What do you need to get some good jumps?"
"I need to stretch my muscles a little" he said
I just nodded and he started, while I changed the light settings for his jump. Then I moved closer once more and watching him in position I would normally avoid, I decided that, despite the lights were set for a much higher subject, he was too interesting not to be photographed in that position.
The first flash caught him by surprise, he was not expecting it, but he acted as a real model, slowly turning his head towards me, anticipating my request. And I shot once more, capturing his eye as you can see.
I have always seen photography as a skill that gets better with experience. This shot is no different. I did mistakes that I will avoid next time, but I also learned other lessons on lighting I did not experiment before.

Celebrating Freedom

View LARGE On Black

I’m very glad I’m from the USA, where in spite of everything there is still
- free speech (as free as it can get)
- freedom of religion
- separation of church and state
- opportunity and hope

I’m not proud of our invasion of Iraq, and was againt our invasion from the start. I feel sad that we have lost the faith and confidence of people around the world in our "goodness", which was not in doubt after WWII.
Still, I’m proud, and though not a flag-waving type of guy, I celebrate our freedom, and pray that we allow others to be free as well. I hope that other nations can achieve democracy on their timetable, and as their choice, not ours.

Parsons Challenge Perspective 2

2008

Over a twisty high way route in a small suburban area in Queens sits a friendly town of Flushing. After nearly 3 years, homicides have recently resurfaced.

The murder took place on a cool spring day on March 2008. According to my records the squirrel had half of its lower body when it was found. The body wasn’t discovered until I returned home from school two hours later. It was located by the steps of the backyard door, just about eight feet away from Two-tone’s doghouse. From what I believe he committed a murder again.

This was an unusual discovery because I’ve never seen half a body of a bloody animal. Although Two-tone was convicted of many other murders of backyard critters, this scene was far more grotesque then his previous slaughter.

It was definitely a start of something new for Two-tone. I’ve noticed many changes in his behavior and he was more playful than ever. He also became more energetic and frolicsome while playing with his favorite lady, my mother. Deep down inside Two-tone’s mind was building a tremendous amount of confidence to kill again.

David – The story


Image by Tattooed JJ
Well I wasnt planning on posting this till tomorrow but a few commented on my last shot saying they were looking forward to the story behind the crab shot so here goes, sorry for those expecting a more exciting story this isnt that but here goes anyway

As some of you know I want to get more shots of people I see on the street but lack the confidence to talk to them, well my wife is trying to help me in that regard and urges me to talk to people we see when out, so we were cycling along and we saw a couple setting up a cover over one of the benches (see shot in comment below of it) and they looked at interesting couple so Lulu said I should go talk to them, i tried to think of a good excuse why I shouldnt but only came up with a feeble excuse so Lulu tried again and then got a bit frustrated with me and said oh well I will talk to them,

This spurred me on so I raced ahead and said Hi to them first and we got chatting to them, This is David in the shot, not as good as i would like but what I got, and Monique who didnt want her photo taken, they come to Liberty State Park often and setup the cover and put in cages to catch crabs, when we meet them they were just setting things up, and we had a nice little chat with them, when we said we liked Jersey City they laughed and called in Dirty City which made us laugh and they were suprised we hadnt heard it called Dirty City Before.

Well after chatting a bit we rode for some more around the park and an hour or so later passed them again, and stopped for another chat, thats when I got the shot in the comment below and the one of the crabs in the bucket this morning.
They said the tide was coming in and they expected to get more crabs soon, David Told us Monique (hope I remembered her name correctly) cooks them up real nice, So after a little bit more chatting me and Lulu headed off and thats the end of the story, well maybe for now I did Promise David I would print the shot of him and take it with us next time we go to the Park to give to him, apparently they are there most weekends in Summer

So sorry not an exciting story, but a step forward for me actually talking to a stranger and striking up a conversation, all be it with the help of Lulu, who I must thank for being so supportive of me

PS. Some thing my street sots of all of Homeless people this is not the case and I want to make clear David and Monique were just a nice couple we saw while out, hopefully I will get around to talking to some homeless people and get shots of them, but when the time is right for me that will come

Build Up Self Confidence Steps

As an ordinary human being, we are not always to be right and perfect. Therefore we shall build up our self confidence now to cope with all of the obstacles that we might face later. But we need to have positive attitude towards building our self confidence because instead focusing on those negative thought such as fear and worry will only make us lack of energy and spirit to face the challenge ahead. Hence, attitude is the most important assets that we need to have in order to improve your self confidence.

If you have the intentions of creating more self confidence, you could be able to achieve great result in many areas such as financially, healthy and of course wealthy. Following are the some of the basic but important steps and habit that we need to build up in order to build up self confidence.

Understand ourselves, communicate with ourselves. It looks silly but it really helps.  All of us have a subconscious mind within us, whether we know it or not, this subconscious mind is very powerful that it acts like a computer programming our daily activities, feelings within ourselves. Whatever we see, feel and touch along the day will be programmed into the subconscious mind. So it is very important that we need to install positive attitude into our mind, because we are the one to decide which part of our lives should be in our memory.

So if we choose to remember and use those negative thoughts along the day, our mind will eventually discourage us to be more self confident for ourselves. We need to hear the positive messages as they will build up self confidence today and raise our self esteem and confidence.  Take control. Use our inner thoughts to talk to ourselves in a positive manner, as often as we can.

As an example one of my regular sayings is “I like myself, I like myself, I like myself”. I just repeat it for a couple of minutes.  It sounds silly again, but does help to build up your self confidence today – Try it. 

Increase your self esteem even more by appreciate of what you have tight now. Treasure the things that happened in your life so far.  Say “thank you” to yourself to everything you see, all whom you meet, and each smile that you receive. You will feel more grateful and confidence.

Our body posture represents what we are at that particular time. Simple habit that we can learn and start to implement it are stand and sit correctly. Your great and nice body posture will speak for you. How you stand sends out a message to the World, and in turn, back to you.

Dress as smart as you can especially in some special occasions. You won’t feel at your best if you don’t look your best. You will be amazed at just how much more self confidence you will have just looking your best.  It just feels good when you are wearing your best clothes, are well groomed, and are surrounded by a clean environment.  So what if it is Saturday, you need to build up your self confidence today not next week.  Put on your nice clothes, get the car washed.

Finally, this seems very easy but most of us forgot of it – Smile. Just smile and things seem better somehow. The world will be more wonderful than ever. Go to the mirror and smile – make yourself. Not a grimace , but a proper smile.

Start build up self confidence today!

We kicked off our student meetings with a language exchange


Image by EDV Media Director
EDV responded to the Haiti earthquake in early June, 2010 and we’re currently working with a group of local students.

The students approached us after a large community meeting to discuss the possibility of beginning a cultural exchange and workshop project that would help them grow, learn and become leaders in their community.

The students’ interests include language exchanges, the development of vocational skills to showing new international volunteers around Port au Prince .

EDV, the students, and our partner organisation GrassRoots United are extremely excited that these local students are pursuing this exchange with such enthusiasm.

The students won’t just be learning – they’ll also be teaching. We’re looking forward to what we can learn and to seeing the students’ confidence grow as they get the chance to run the show.

From Kryole to Haitian history, this is truly an exchange where everyone comes to the table because they want to both teach and learn.
