Parade of Nations – Guinea-Bissau

French: Guinée-Bissau // English: Guinea-Bissau // Japanese: ギニアビサウ (Giniabisau)

    Guinea-Bissau formed its National Olympic Committee in 1992 and participated in its first Olympics as a country at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. They haven’t hosted any Olympic Games, but they’ve participated in 6 Summer Games and no Winter Games. The Olympic sport in which Guinea-Bissau has competed is Wrestling.

Kimono Maker: Masashige Uenaka/ 上仲 正茂

    “Mangrove forests in the distance, flock of flamingos flying in the sky, cashew nuts, animals such as savanna monkeys, and dolphins and manatees playing in the sea are depicted. Not only the natural richness of both sides, but also the masks of the marine and land tribes were drawn together to make it a symbol of people's harmony.”[1]

Obi Maker: Hattori Orimono Co., Ltd./ 服部織物

    “The richness of the country is represented by this gold leaf, and the richness of nature and the sky is represented by the patina foil, which is luxuriously woven with the newly devised flower crest for Guinea-Bissau.” [1]

Photo by @amivitale. Alio scrubs his body in front of the touffe. On a recent @instagram post, @amivitale told the story of her relationship with Alio. "On my last evening there in 2001," said Ami, "I sat with him and a group of children beneath a sea of stars talking into the night about my return home. Alio looked up at the full moon and innocently asked me if we also had a moon in America. Ever since then, I cannot look at the moon and not think about him. This has become my guiding principle since then. The moon is like a collective third eye. It shows us our common identity – - an identity that knows no borders. It gives us a sense of oneness, a constant reminder that we are all tied together in an intricate web, whether we understand it or not." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @TheAlexiaGrants are now open for applications. The deadline is Oct. 5. This Monday, Sept. 21 we will be hosting a webinar to answer questions about applying.

Photo by @amivitale. @thealexiagrants for documentary photography open for applications today! Twenty years ago, this grant changed the trajectory of my life and I urge all photographers to apply. These grants allow us to work without the pressures of deadlines so you can take time to truly listen and understand the value of slowing down to tell stories. This image is from Guinea Bissau of Alio. On my last evening there in 2001, I sat with him and a group of children beneath a sea of stars talking into the night about my return home. Alio looked up at the full moon and innocently asked me if we also had a moon in America. Ever since then, I cannot look at the moon and not think about him. This has become my guiding principle since then. The moon is like a collective third eye. It shows us our common identity – - an identity that knows no borders. It gives us a sense of oneness, a constant reminder that we are all tied together in an intricate web, whether we understand it or not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more about their grants and the photography they have helped make possible by following @thealexiagrants.

Photos by @amivitale. I was asked to choose seven images I've made in my career that have meant the most to me. While they may not be my favorite images, they were meaningful to me; sometimes heartbreaking sometimes joyful but they were moments that always captured my heart. Join me tomorrow for a discussion with @NikonUSA at nikonusa.com/creatorshour for my #CreatorsHour interview. It starts at 3pm EDT tomorrow, April 22. Tune in and ask me questions then too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also encourage you to spend some time checking out some of my favorite conservation photographers and legendary photojournalists who will also be on Creators Hour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are just a few names but a long list of incredible folks to check out! @BrianSkerry @JoeMcNally @LynseyAddario @JoelSartore @CarolGuzy @Ladzinski @StacyPearsall @TamaraLackey @DeanneFitzmaurice @coreyrichproductions ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @natgeo @conservationorg @alexiafoundation @sararacamp @olpejeta @lewa_wildlife @r.e.s.c.u.e @kenyawildlifeservice @thephotosociety @photography.for.good #talks #photojournalism #kashmir #rhinos #giraffes #pandas #china #kenya #guineabissau #nikon #nikonlove #nikonambassador #nikonnofilter #conservation #amivitale #nikonlove #NikonNoFilter #earthday #earthday2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QcjA3BCpi/?igshid=1ia3vbhdccp2e

Thirty-one years ago, Alexia Tsairis, a talented young photographer was returning home from her study abroad program in London when a bomb exploded on her flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 270 people onboard. To remember, honor and celebrate her life, Alexia's parents channeled their despair and devastation to create The @AlexiaFoundation, an organization which gives grants to students and professional photographers. They have awarded 147 student and 28 professional grants and the impact the foundation has had on this world cannot be overstated. These grants have created change and moved us towards a world where peace is possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tn 2000, I was privileged to receive the Alexia Grant and it changed my life forever. It was the first time I was given the opportunity to take the time to understand and to commit to a story in depth. In many ways, my Alexia Grant made me the person I am today. I could not be more grateful for this opportunity or more honored to have had the chance to do it in the name of Alexia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This holiday season, I urge you to consider supporting The Alexia Foundation. Take some time to dig into their archives and see the work they have made possible. Please do share this post. You could have a great impact. Thank you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @photography.for.good @natgeo @natgeoimagecollection @thephotosociety @nikonusa #fulani #guineabissau #grants #photojournalism #alexiagrants #indigenous #indigneouspeople #nikonnofilter #nikonlove #nikonambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/B6loblPBp6r/?igshid=4n9fv97lwb6o
