Random Thought
A random thought I felt I needed to jot down but don’t have any paper on me. Something I’ve realised as I’m researching the different types of bags different students need for each major is that there are different websites and stores that you need to visit in order to get the bag you need depending on what you study. Our website can be the one place you go to in order to find all the different bags any student from any major will need.
Aucklanders are being advised not to swim at a number of summer hot spots because the water is too dirty.
I did not know that there were different water droplet colour codes e.g red means high risk of illness from swimming which was the colour that was coded over north shore beaches back in 2018. Black was coded over Mission Bay and St Helliers beaches which are beaches that are so close and open to the public, very popular beaches. Black means monitored waste waterways as gone off. The council put the black coded water droplet there for 48 hours in 2018 and since then I have seen less and less people swim in these beaches.
The question is why are waterways so open to the public not taken care of so well compared to beaches that take hours for us to travel to?
Another article I accidentally pinned on my other blog for this assessment.
It can be unsafe to swim, even at designated swimming beaches, for 48 hours after a rainfall due to the possible presence of high levels of bacteria that could pose a risk to human health. The bacteria could be a result from water pollution, which is a complex issue and can come from many sources, […]
Although this is an article from Toronto I know that this applies at all waterways across the world and here in Aotearoa. These are things I’ve never thought of until I started this project. In the pas I’ve swam while it were raining and have also swam the day after it rained without these things in mind. It is good to know these things going forward as a member of the public.

Is Puerto Rican culture similar to Mexican culture?
I’ve been asked this question time and again by my non-Latino friends since I moved to LA almost two years ago. Different from NYC, where Puerto Rican culture has been part of the city’s history since the 1940s, in Los Angeles there is no frame of reference beyond our Rican actors in Hollywood. And West Side Story with its grotesque distortion of Puerto Rican culture is not a good example for Americans to appreciate who we truly are.
The answer is no. Puerto Ricans are Latinos from the Caribbean, closer culturally to Dominicans and Cubans. Our culture has strong African roots that are evident in our music, language, spirituality, and cuisine. That’s why we eat “mofongo” and “piononos”, we dance “salsa” (even Reggaeton) and use words like “candungo” and “bochinche”.
But beyond the vernacular, there are sharp differences when it comes to the way we behave in general. Living in this city I find myself explaining why I clap to the beat (marco la clave) when I hear music from my country, why I don’t like spicy food, or why I don’t have an image of the Virgen de la Guadalupe at home. Simply put, there’s a big difference between my Puerto Rican Latino identity and the Mexican American Latino identity, and that is a beautiful thing.
Latino culture is extremely diverse and rich. And while we can understand each other when we speak, there are many things that make our cultures unique.

Photographs from Cheryl Dunn’s website that i enjoy looking at and find that each speak with a subject of matter to whats happening around the world right now.
http://www.cheryldunn.net/categories/photo-documentary
Cheryl Dunn is a filmmaker and photographer based in New York City. Her work is influenced by alternative urban and youth culture, documenting skaters, the homeless, musicians, graffiti, artists, and their processes.
A film photographer who works in documentary photography. Her photographs feel very nostalgic and like these moments that she is capturing are important. Cheryl Dunn’s photographs also have an element of fun in them which is something I hope to execute in my practise.
'Yeah. Gotta see if you're worth it.'
A photographer I have once put into my workbook. All before he was exposed on instagram by a model who wanted to shoot with him but he refused to do a free shoot with her unless she modelled nude.
This is the worse possible example of how any photographer should be. He has shot so many different women over the years and so many of them came out to tell their stories about their experience with him getting them drunk and later making them feel like they “should” sleep with him.
This is wrong on so many levels and I’m deeply sorry that I ever cannonised him in my workbook.
Photographs by photographer Raven B. Varona. A documentary photographer who photographs the lives of Jay Z and Beyonce and significant events that take place all around the world like the Womens Worlds Soccer Tournament and the Pride Parade.
I enjoy the photographs that she takes but was a little bit disappointed to only be able to find her on Instagram. It may be an aesthetic choice but I want to work differently and have my own website one day.

Jennifer Lopez - Ain't It Funny (Alt Version)
The staging in this music video as well as it being shot in a sepia filter making the video feel nostalgic. I want my photos to be looked back on by my friends and feel the same way I do when watching this video.
A new book offers an in-depth appreciation of the female gaze and features photos from Maisie Cousins to Zanele Muholi and Pixy Liao
An interview by DAZED Magazine with the curator of Girl on Girl (art and photography in the age of the Female Gaze).
She speaks about not only the female gaze that we have to watch out for but “commercial gaze” too. These are lines that I swear as a photographer to never cross.

Here is a photograph I took on the weekend of my friends clothing boutique. This store sits on Vulcan lane and doesn’t get too much sun but at around 4pm the sun was shining directly on the lane and because it is art week there are disco balls hanging up and down the lane. Because of the mirrors on the disco balls, it caused a really cool affect on the lane, there were lit polka dots moving around in the store and all around the lane. I got my camera out and played around a little bit, making sure my ISO sat at around 100 and shutter speed at 125.
Hundreds of thousands of marchers rallied across the United States and around the world Saturday to demand action against gun violence. The “March for Our Lives” protest displayed the resilience behind a new wave of political activism, led by survivors of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
For many students, the rallies were their first demonstration for a cause and a social reckoning of what they are capable of. They bundled in the nation’s capital, delivering a defiant message: stricter gun regulation.

SYRIA. Aleppo. May 30, 2016. A man covered with dust sits on a street following a reported airstrike by Syrian government forces in the rebel-held neighborhood of Sukkari.
“One day the market where Abu Adel works was hit by a barrel bomb. He is married with four daughters and lives in the rebel-held neighborhood of Sukkari in Aleppo, where he works as a fruit vendor to earn a living and feed his children. He lost his cart full of cherries.
He sat next to it and was shocked to see what had happened and that he had escaped death. When I see the photo, I feel sad that such an old man doesn’t have children to help him earn a living. I feel sad how people are dying and that there is no human value left, as they become merely documented numbers.
I loved the photo because I found him again on a different occasion, selling vegetables in the neighborhood with his fixed cart. After all that he went through, life went on.”

Here is an example of Photojournalism. An event that is happening in the moment. Photojournalism documents real time photos where the photographer lets whatever or whoever it is that they are photographing be themselves.
