100 Strangers was a challenge: A Challenge to take a photo of 100 Strangers and to "Learn by Doing." Unlike a candid series of photos this adventure has some rules... Take a portrait photo with the prior permission of the subject. Post the person s photo and their story on an online photographic community website, namely Flickr(r).com Participants must be complete strangers - No friends or family are to be represented. Tim Commons, now a photojournalist, completed the Challenge over a six month period and discovered that the Adventure was well worth sharing, thus he became the Author of his first book "100 Strangers." 100 Strangers contains not only some amazing portraits, but displays an impressive cross-section of society. More impressive is the fact that this is a true representation of the photographer s growth during the adventure. No Stranger portraits were discarded in a bid to make his journey appear to be without trial or failure. In fact, it displays these failures and shows that they are a chance to grow and to be better next time. The book shows that like any worthwhile pursuit it did encounter hurdles and was the catalyst for much debate. Tim was himself held under citizen s arrest half way through his journey for taking Photos without Consent, before being released by the Police, without charge. The Adventure continued and some of his most compelling and impressive photos and encounters were to come. The author started the project with a compact camera and little knowledge of photography. He finished his journey using some of the world's most sophisticated photographic equipment and the ability to engage complete Strangers and tell their stories to the world. "When I started the project most people I approached and asked to partake said, 'No' and walked away still a Stranger, leaving me disappointed and dejected. By the end of my journey practically everyone I asked said, Yes . -Tim Commons The 100 Strangers book is not only a book containing some great portrait photos; it represents the stories of everyday people who are not so every day. It will leave you with a feeling that you should not judge a book by its cover and that life is, and should be: A Challenge, An Adventure and A Journey.

A Photo Book of Myth Dream Experiences is intended a page turning work to series of art. It is composed of nine Chapters and dozen upon dozen of photo. The text compares and contrasts Freud or Jung idea of dreams in sensory memory or unmet intent versus the myth of entity and angel. Chapters include the idea to reflect of actual experience or sensory memory versus to describe the inflation to a higher story. The book works more from a Classical Greek set of works from Aristotle and references are found. Memory is then a context and a duration or lapse in time to relive a past idea. The dream is a set of symbols and to be formed into a story. Aristotle calls the lead or walk to be assembled by the soul; whom he describes to source the motive force of such symbol. The logos are a sort of white and bleaching experience. His work about Metaphysics discourages a cause to the experience of the dream; so the author of the story are the angels. Find photo and art of chaff versus grain, and to call the surviving product from opposites to be the horses to draw along the dreamer. Topics also include to lack the keys of the experience; so to encounter torment, illness or violence. The dreamer takes a step into miracles from the product. The page turning does not exactly locate other than a requirement to use mind; so Aristotle recommends against direct 'cause'.
New York City Talks of 911 by Donna White-Davis copyright 2001 all rights reserved. All photographs copyright Donna White-Davis 2001 The photographs are printed without any editing or adjustment other than a corrective exposure for consistency of publication. Nothing has been changed in the photographs since the day, September 14, 2001 they were taken in NYC from the window of my 2000 JEEP SE Wrangler that had just returned from taking me cross country photographing the beauty, bravery, love and lives of everyday Americans. The JEEP, like my cameras, had by then become an enhancement of myself and soul in much the same way a person adapts to a prosthetic device designed to compensate but for us "Bio-mechanical humans" make our lives and art greater than ever before. Nothing has been changed. Nothing. The billboards and signs are exactly as they were on that day and probably as they were on 911. Photographers often go for the "money shots." There are many. As I said, I cannot shoot tragedy. These aren't the "money shots" but they are the hardworking love shots. I am happy with that. I capture with my camera the bravery, strength, love and life of American, indeed of humanity, who have perservered through disaster and gone on, who survive and eventually thrive. That's what humanity does. It experiences disasters, picks themselves up and goes on. New York City has always been an inspiration for humanity all over the world overcoming the worst of times. That's because New Yorkers come from all over the world. The book is merely one story in that inspiration and it is beautiful to me because it was written by the city herself. I went to New York City to see if I could help. I quit my therapist position on 9/11. I had just returned from driving cross country photographing America and falling in love with the people of our country. I focus on the good, the beautiful, Empire State Games, the athletic, the mountains, small towns and big cities, the music venues of America, the Rodeos and the Fairs. I cannot photograph disasters. A local newspaper asked me once. I said "No, you see my portfolio. I only photograph the beauty." I had spent the days after 911 watching the towers going down over and over in newsreels and felt with a deep emotion hard to explain that that destruction caused by the others to New York was not the story. New Yorkers are strong. I knew that. I am a New Yorker. That destruction was not the story. While driving across country and going through many of the cities of America with music venues I came to realize that cities greet you with their own messages displayed across billboards and neon signs or sounded from the radio stations playing their style. The cities talked to me as I entered them. I knew New York had something to say. I went to New York to hear New York's story. I entered the city on 8th Ave under the elevated train and travelled out from under it onto Broadway and followed Broadway to the 911 site. At each stoplight I photographed exactly what New York was saying to me, to all of us. Here is her story. Donna White-Davis
It doesn't take long to discover that Belize is a land of contrasts. From the poverty and disarray of the cities to the quiet countryside, many differences are soon found. With poverty and crime running rampant in cities such as Belize City and Belmopan, the traveler has to be constantly aware of his surroundings and protect whatever is being carried. Remember, that camera hanging around your neck is worth more than the average Belizean earns in a year. All that aside, the Mayan people are wonderfully warm people many of whom go out of their way to please visitors. Traveling into the countryside one discovers thatch roof homes with no doors or windows. Because of the warm climate, they can live comfortably all year with a gentle breeze flowing through the open windows and doors. I was struck with the concept that although no utility lines were visible, a lot of homes had a satellite dish in the front yard.
Seeing God is photo essay. It is assembled more than 180 art work and photo. Topic to see God has most work about Church worship or to observe a pious life. Chapters include Biblical quote and reference; such as refer of Chorus songs and receive communion of body and blood of Jesus Christ. Crucifixion has death of the true son to open eternal life to the human. Jesus is found of miracles of healing, and refer to invoke, call upon or pray to resolve ailments. Jesus is called the true son of the only God. I also discuss concept to claim or impose oneself to the well to do seats at Church or temple; so provide recommended manner of proper alms or Charity. The concept could be better stated to assist others; so to see affects to one's life or divinity. Topic of seeking to make oneself more holy or pious is contrast to worship; which discusses response to torment or torture Christian. Seeing God is then found of Chapters; including salvation, redemption and Guardian Angels. The essay assesses interactions of the vain; so to discover the divine to interact of a recommended against lifestyle. The comparison of the instructions of Jesus are translate to live at a name or home basis. The finding of miracles are described to require stereotypic story, and to necessitate two miracle beyond the human ability; such as portray vision of the Virgin Mary or to find statue of Jesus to weep blood. Pubished work to contrast the portrayal of divinity is to consider rapport to God to be projection of oneself. The essay considers the Christ angel; who is shown set and series of miracle and symbol. Chapter consider divinity in such form to be a physical or motive force; such as reference cinema work 'Star Wars'. The interpretation of the phenomenon includes description of the Archangels. An Archangel is described of higher principles, and contributes to interpretation of miracle beyond number. Michael is defender of valor, and is called 'warrior angel'. Gabriel is named 'strengths of the Lord', and is shown of art works to be not set interpretations of miracles; such as require symbols to communicate or add corn starch to Church worship. Raphael is named 'God will heal', and is noted of literature to have responsibility from heaven to administer illness, violence or distresses. He will correct course or person to the intent of God. Archangel Uriel or called Dwayne is said reflection of conditioned resource; so to discover an impermanence of symbol. He is contrast to be seen the swamps to form comprehension, and alternatively shown desert like condition of assorted concept. God is suggest infinite and without intrinsic form; so to be seen of various cause and effects. Adversity then elicits response. The topic of the essay present the ideal to see or discover God. It is a contextual report, and is stated to be based at decades of experience to a walk into an east. Such are portrayed metaphor; so to reject reason and judgment to so do. The product is theorized to lack source or origin; so resource is evermore angelic, and a destiny is unstated. The product is potential of space traveling technology. 'Time' at lesser basis is called reflection or language; so at combining opposites of principle to get enhancing angelic interpretation. At greater experiences, time will generate comprehension of time to be an actual motive or physical force. Digital photo of my own collection include Goddess Beatrice of Dante's 'The Divine Comedy'. Dante had all his properties confiscated by a black Church, and to the guidance of Beatrice on Good Friday entered a tour of the realms of God. See and interpret the word defying 'images' found. Primary lesson include to distinguish forest from tree; so stare at wonder to translate color or song bird bird to follow and tend Beatrice. Seeing God retains both the stated and proper basis of worship; while to present lesson at translating Archangel and other theme of the infini
Parades, Parties, and Protests is a bold tribute to the creative resistance culture of the 21st century. In the wake of the catastrophic 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration, and the Iraq War, resilient visionary subcultures rose from the ashes to spark the largest, most creative protest movement in history. This photo-journalistic account reveals a decade-long exploration of public processions in New York City, war protests, multimedia events that combined art and activism, all-night dance parties in warehouses, and pilgrimages to festivals in remote parts of the country. At a time when many alternative voices were shut out of the mass media and with civil liberties increasingly under fire, these grassroots events became a driving force in disseminating information and cultivating an uplifting and transformative culture. In the face of adversity, millions of people from around the world came together, daring to create the world they dreamed to live in. This is their story.

It is never to late or early to start and your story is important.
Watching Over Us, Melinda Lambert's look at modern combat operations in Iraq, tells a realistically, raw photojournalistic account of our American soldiers in preparation for and at war. As a result of a successful military surge in Iraq, the commands have been able to reduce forces in theatre. In 2008, Washington State's 161 IN, was an integral part of that surge. Their involvement and fortitude allowed troops continual movement of personnel and supplies throughout the operational area. 161 provided an uninhibited ability to operate. By moving cargo with this kind of force, the enemy witnessed the Army's tenacity and desire to continue the fight. 161 repeatedly and relentlessly moved along some of the most dangerous roads int the world regardless of IED's, EFP's and the threat of being ambushed, which emphatically displayed their willingness to complete their mission.

The world around us is our guide on this journey called life. But it is not about destination. It is about stopping points along to way. To see. To listen. To learn. To live. It is not a solitary journey. I will meet you there. From the author/photographer, Sherri Lasko: "Meeting the eyes of life with laughter and awe... and sometimes the necessary "stare-down." My lens is only a tool of my seeing. The images are expressions that come from another place. A place of listening, of openess, of humility. They evolve on their own to communicate an inner message. I hope they speak to you as well. Art, photography, design, music, spirituality and self discovery... they are all inseparable to me as I follow the twists and turns of this incredible path called life."

The 36 photographs in this book, by Eduardo Machuca, show a sample of Armando Alanis' street poetry work in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. Armando has been painting unused street walls with white and then writing with black paint, short poetic messages that capture the attention and imagination of drivers and pedestrians alike. His work is, however, ephemeral. Walls get painted over by someone else to announce something else. This endeavour is now close to its 15th year, in which Armando has painted close to 5,000 walls. Walls' poems text translated into English.
The Mystery of Faith is photo essay. It is assembled more than 195 art and photo. The traditional topic of mystery tends considered life time events; such as to evolve from this to that, education and life. Baptism or Faith is then found to be or add in some mystery better comprehension. Jesus Christ as classical topic is mystery of being origin of eternal life and redemption. I will review principle or predicate of verse or story; so of an higher sort of series to tell angel truth. Mystery is then called innocence and the love of the divine. The photo essay retains an all inclusive miracle; so all humanity or all creation is the mystery. Chapters review piety or faith versus innocence of illness or violence. The Archangel Raphael is named in oversight of illness; yet whose name translate to 'God will heal' the course. Michael is called 'protector of valor' and Gabriel is named the 'strength' of symbol to God. They are portrayed of art series. The logos or time colored windows of Heaven are recommended divine in origin; whose name and truth in being 'word of God' is traced. The reference is to see, believe and to so live. Another Chapter has art of guardian angel; who oversight of course is looked over. I review concept of sacrament to be a differing sort of spirit rules versus factual cause/effect. The photo essay considers creation to actually inquire of immediacy, panic or aniety. It is considers opposite of a value of Gabriel. A focus of the essay is mystery of lessening resource versus to see intent of the divine. The Mystery considers topic to silence bold statement; so the collective lives of a better decision. You tend to read and believe of the essay the simplier or more ancient faith. Is it a mystery?
Photo story about people of Croatian capital Zagreb city. When traveling first we meet new countries at border crossings. This is the first layer of the picture of a country. The faces of customs officers are more or less the same throughout our world. We hardly remember them after leaving the border. Streets, buildings and historical sites are the second layer of every city. The New York skyline, the Eiffel Tower, the Roman Coliseum or The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are parts of our common visual culture regardless of whether we live in the USA, Germany, Croatia or Sweden. Underneath this layer of landmarks lies the third layer. One that is every day new. This layer is web of the people on the streets. These are faces we hardly remember after leaving the places we visited if dont hang out with them. This layer cannot be understood in a few days, but this is what colors the picture of every city in every country. It is life in visual form that we can take a look at. The scene that is different every second. This book shows the third layer of the picture of a city, the people of Zagreb, capital of Croatia. Although few pictures in this book are of Zagreb's landmarks, for those who never visited Zagreb, it is a story of the people who live in Zagreb be they old, young, poor and rich, fashionable or less fashionable. It is a glimpse of some of the 800.000 people who live in Zagreb. Photographs were taken from the autumn 2011 through the summer of 2012.
