I had a go at doing double exposures on the Nikon f5 while in Japan. This one is definitely my favourite.

I know we’re all still celebrating gay marriage being legalized here in the USA but can we talk about whats going on in China for just a minute. Authorities in Shanghai are planning to relocate a Paraxylene (PX) Petrochemical Plant to an already infested chemical environment where people reside. Now before all you guys start asking whats Paraxylene,It is a flammable chemical derived from refined petroleum, it is used in polyester and plastics manufacturing and if exposed to this pollutant it can damage abdominal organs and the nervous system if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Early this April in Fujian there was an explosion in a factory that used Paraxylene,where six people were hospitalized. In China where protests remain rare and it’s illegal to gather without a permit,the people are now fed up with 2.2 million men and women dying from cancer each year, they are now turning to the streets only to face arrest for going out and voicing their rights and even face losing their job if they speak out about it.I’m posting this here because tumblr has a way with spreading the word as well as i haven’t seen or heard much coverage about this.

Facts: Paraxylene (PX)

Basic raw material which when refined is used to make polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyesters

The fibres and films produced are used to make water bottles, other containers, fabrics including clothing and curtains, and x-ray and photographic film

Can cause dizziness and nausea if inhaled or ingested. If skin is contacted, it should be rinsed and then washed with soap and water. Can cause issues with the central nervous system

A teenager who was injured in Tuesday’s attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar owes his life to his teacher, who tried to shield her students from the Taliban gunmen that opened fire on them.

Irfanullah, 15, told Newsweek he would likely be dead if his teacher, 24-year-old Afsha Ahmed, hadn’t intervened.

“She seemed to understand what was going on before we did because she immediately stood up and prevented the terrorists from targeting us,” he added.

According to a tearful Irfanullah, Ahmed told the terrorists that she would not allow them to shoot her students. “She was so brave,” he said. “Her last words to the terrorists were: ‘You must kill me first because I will not see my students’ bodies lying in front of me,’” he added.

Irfanullah says the Taliban didn’t seem to care about anything she said and immediately threw something on her body. “The next thing we knew, she was on fire,” he said. “Even while burning, she shouted at us to run away and find refuge.”

The teenager says he still feels guilty for abandoning his teacher, despite knowing he could have done nothing. “I feel so selfish for running away instead of trying to find a way to save her,” he said. “She is my hero … she was like a superwoman,” said Irfanullah. “Who will teach us now?”
