I received a copy of this book for free for review purposes. This post also contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.
I am here to share another book review with you. The title of this book is The Noticer's Guide To Living And Laughing by Margery Leveen Sher. It is basically a book of essays where the author notices things that are around her and talks about how she appreciates them. The book is meant to get people to enjoy life more and to notice their surroundings. This time I decided to do my review on periscope and then shared it on YouTube. So just click the video below and see what I thought about the book.
The Noticer's Guide to Living and Laughing will definitely make you look at the world in a different way. I know I have begun to notice what's around me more often. The good, the bad, and just everything. I see myself enjoying life a little bit more. If you like my review and would like to pick up the book you can find it on Amazon.

Fake versus real friends
I have a confession! I used to choose my friends because of their good looks, though good manners, was part of it, but the later was way down the list. Sorry, I was that shallow. Was I burnt? Oh yes! I was severely burnt by my relationships due to my bad choices. I forgot my part ,I didn't even have these outstanding looks I yearned to see in friends. It took me a while to comprehend that we are defined by how we treat others (not just polished but even the not so polished) and how we treat ourselves. I was hurt several times and I was habitually alone, even on my birthdays, with my beautiful –but- absent friends anywhere but my corner. I was a friend, okay…not a real friend as exposed underneath …now I know. They weren't feeling the same way towards me; obviously, the friendship was routinely rekindled whenever they needed assistance and usually vanished whenever they weren't in need of my help. I noticed that my bitterness would increase as I would often sit alone on my special days and help them run around baking and sharing foods on their special days. The real friends weren't so up on my special people list because I foolishly judged by mere appearances.
One rainy day; I woke up to this rude realization and uprooted the weeds I planted in my soil. I am also working daily on being that real friend that I so needed for the friends around me , sometimes these things work mysteriously, for once you start a new pathway, you notice that these actions most times have a boomerang effect. Those true friends are still rare but they are out there…somehow. And they are also reading here…lol.
We are living in a world where the real friends are like unicorns, they are so scarce, I think at the end of this post, we should be able to start changing ourselves to be those real friends.
If we can't find that picture-perfect friend, be the friend… let's improve on ourselves, and upgrade to be that real friend. These habits can be learnt with time. The thing is that most of us grew up not knowing what true friendship or loyalty entails. In some homes, Friendship wasn't even encouraged, parents usually sent the visiting friends back to their homes asking "Don't you have chores to help your parents with at your home? Go home and do this and that ".As for others, they may have had it flawless and therefore know what true relationship is all about …but do we stop at these excuses or reasons and continue in our ignorance? No! Let's improve. Let's go with the Growth mindset and not the fixed mindset. It's okay to learn late than never learning.
See below for the obvious signs that may help you decipher who you are pulling into your inner space, if it's worth the sacrifice. Please be cautious of who you draw closer to you, the person may either make or mar you.
How to recognize Fake friends
*They don't support your excellent visions or goals. They may even say you can't do it.
*They put you down all the time
*They don't stand up for you, Loyalty doesn't reside there.
*They mock your desire to improve your present situation.
*They don't man up and express regret when they are in the wrong, a real friend discusses the situation and admits their wrong. They put their personal pride over the bond.
*They ridicule you, even in front of others to make themselves look better in the eyes of someone new.
*They don't clap when you have an accomplishment…be watchful of these types of people, these may even be haters masquerading as friends. Your very own success will be the cause for their hatred towards you.
*They help with insignificant and ask for something huge, they use others to climb the ladder most times. Taking recognition for what they didn't do. They take more than they give, some may call these kinds of friends "leeches". These types are called parasitic relationships.
*Fake friends talk about other people behind their back. They usually do the same when your back is turned. They play both sides; they will not take a fall for you because they are not standing with you in the first place.
*Remember that you are friends because you have similar objectives not similar mindsets .Do not muddle up this social partnership with real friendship. When people change and grow, respect that and let it slide neatly.
*They only have shallow talks…free of vulnerability. It doesn't go deeper than the superficial; keep your vulnerable challenges to yourself when you are with them lest you become Titles for headlines in their several inner circles. Simply put, don't uncover your vulnerabilities in front of them.
*They would abandon you behind if something better comes along. They are known for jumping from relationship to relationship without deep roots;
*They leak your secrets; Fake friends don't value your relationship, as well as your skeletons in the cupboard.
*They tempt you towards bad habits, watch it.
*They ask for help but never offer it; Watch for those who play both sides, they are never the leaders in a group.
*Then this very common one…
* They call only when they need something, there is an unsaid stability in any healthy friendship. You just know when there is imbalance somewhere, you just feel it.
I hope these points above helped. Please we can all be real friends if we try. I won't mind if we share this. Thank you.
Take care,

Eight hours of recent studio work (images with client) that featured portraiture, fashion and a but of fun at the end with confetti. A long day but a great shoot and a happy client who organised a great model for the day.
It had been a while since I was in the studio and certainly for that length of time. Lots of planning went into the day, which really paid off.
Longford Leader, 8 September, 2017
Yesterday, I went to Longford Town for the launch of Expressions, 2017 (Ireland's largest dedicated art photography portrait exhibition & competition), in which I was a finalist. This was my second year to both enter and reach the final, with the previous held in an indoor gallery space. So with enlarged prints (1x2m), in a very public venue, it's a great experience for the finalists, as well as the general public.
Greeted by name by organisers Angelika Sowul and Shelley Corcoran (with whom I photographed alongside Cllr. Mae Sexton) felt like a real 'welcome back'. The image I submitted is one from Transmission, which I explained in a short video interview. My previous finalist entry in 2015 was from An Uncommon Beauty and in fact, the Cruthú Arts Festival Chairperson saw me yesterday and said, 'Hi, you're the alopecia guy, right?'☺
Trish Lambe Co-Director of the Gallery of Photography also addressed the attendees, as did Longford TD/Minister of State, Kevin Moran. A great day and a credit to Angelika, Shelley and their team, as well as the Cruthú Arts Festival of which this was a part. Great work and a real diversity & array of talent on exhibit as always.
Thanks also to Jasminka for the photos of myself!
As a finalist, I am hoping to make the opening ceremony later this month. I made the finals when I entered in 2015 and had a great evening - this year, the exhibition launch is during the day and in the open, so I hope even more of the general public will attend. The finalists' images will also be much more public, being displayed as large prints around the town!

Very happy to be selected as a finalist again at this year's Expressions International Portrait Photography competition and exhibition.
The exhibition, the largest of its kind in Ireland, is located in Longford with this year's finalists' work exhibited through the town as 1x2 meter prints.
In 2015 I was a finalist with an image from An Uncommon Beauty. The exhibition launches in July.

The MLS continues with FC Dallas taking on Minnesota United FC. This is a game between two sides in the Western Conference meaning that points are more important. Both teams will look to perform well in this game since this is an important stage of the season to get results.
Minnesota United FC will be at home for this game which will be a massive boost for the side. Home games are big chances for teams to win in the MLS since players have to travel huge distances. This team was unlucky to lose their last game as they got a player sent off. This weekend they will hope that their fortune changes and they can get all three points.
On the other side of the coin, FC Dallas have established themselves as one of the top sides in this seasons MLS. The side from Texas has been dominant all season and the players are gelling well as a unit. While this is an away game and traveling away from home is never easy, there is more enough talent in the FC Dallas side to win this game.
Taking everything into consideration, I am going to predict that FC Dallas wins this game. They are the better side and they should be good enough to win away from home against a Minnesota United side that has been struggling. Looking at the odds, we are getting a great price to bet on FC Dallas to win this game and as a result, the outright result market is the best option for wagering. In addition to that, I am also a fan of the over 2.5 goals. Both sides have many goalscorers and these games usually produce many goals. We should have a safe wager betting on the over 2.5 goals.

The Importance to stay Content Up to Date
Imagine if you're the owner of an effective car dealership but when your customers look at the cars www.educavalladolid.es posted on your web-site they realize that the cars undoubtedly are a month approximately old or perhaps, even worse, they will call you simply to find out that desire car these people were looking at purchased a week ago? This really is hardly gonna give them very much confidence inside the rest of the offering. On the other hand, imagine the web site offers information that is certainly accurate and up-to-date, where one can update car listings after a sale to respond to visitor queries is to do all this conveniently, painlessly and without even dialling your website firm? That, in summary, is an effective web-site content management system.
The website can be described as work horse
I generally ask people, do your sales people rest at night and take fails for lunch during the day?… They are at myself like Im strange or something, even so my stage is made! Persons realize that, the moment designed effectively, a website works for you twenty-four hours a day, does not take hurt leave and proudly provides your business and handles support enquiries from your customers exactly where they are, at any time of the day or evening.
Give your website the attention it deserves
Much like sales teams require teaching, websites require attention also! In order to keep your clients interested, they have to have up-to-date information to stay effective. You've spent everything money advertising your website, you need to make sure you don't deceived people with inadequately structured, older and boring content. Not what you need is for this kind of update process to take time, in fact , it is necessary that you have the flexibleness to control and change the content of the web pages if you want, not as soon as your web design organization gets around to this.
By providing a service in which customers can easily DIY all their content, website companies are obtaining wise to a real competitive edge. You do not have to be a skyrocket scientist to realize the web design company that may provide speedy and easy-to-use web content administration systems could have an edge over those who can only see this as a danger.
You should have the power to choose
Web page companies should provide consumers with two choices. Pay attention to providing clients with the ideal tools to create changes easily, quickly and when they want whilst also providing customers the flexibility to continue to get a service with respect to updating the website (for all those not quite so urgent updates). Giving clients more choice and more control very rarely neglects.
Relevant facts is the key to success on line
When it comes to potential clients searching for your products and services, we should all understand that on the web CONTENT MATERIAL IS KING. Without great, carefully constructed content clients can't and won't find your website and will never do business with you. Search engines like google require great content to manage to find your internet site. A content management system bridges this matter. Otherwise your website investment is definitely wasted!
You should at this moment find and commence using a content management device to place in fantastic content that is held up to date and fresh. You can now start adding your website over the map.

5 Worthwhile Stony Brook Electives
Missing a few elective credits? Or maybe you need to fulfill a few SBC or DEC requirements? Don't settle for just any class...Choose a class that you have always wanted to take, one that interests you.
After reading the college bulletin a few times over, I've compiled a list of a few of the most interesting-sounding classes that Stony Brook University has to offer below:
1. ANT 208: Zombiology
We all know zombies have become very popular in culture and media over the past few years (The Walking Dead for example!). This anthropology class using scenes from zombie media- novels, movies, and t.v. programs- to examine a variety of topics including the spread of infectious diseases, forensic analysis, human behavior, violence, and the destruction of civilizations in today's society and in the past.2. HUI 235: Sex, Love, Tragedy in Italian Literature
This class focuses on the interaction between the sexes through popular works of early Italian literature, such as Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio.3. HSQ 270: Emergency Response, CPR and Personal Safety
A course that teaches you the skills and knowledge you need to know in order to obtain the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and A.A.O.S. certifications.4. AST 248: The Search for Life in the Universe
We all ask ourselves is there is life beyond Earth. This class investigates the question: Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? 5. MVL 241: Heroes and Warriors
Into all those greek myths and epic heroes? This class studies the warrior-hero in Western literature from the Greeks through the middle ages. Some of the works include Homer's Iliad and Beowulf!Even if you aren't a Stony Brook student, take a closer look at your college's class schedule. Chances are there will be a few eye-catching classes to take!

Course Description:
There is a growing need for educators to feel confident and competent in preventing and responding to challenging behaviors in classrooms and
schools. From extreme problem behaviors such as shootings to less intense but frequent behaviors such as disruption, tardiness and defiance, proactive
and preventative student, classroom, and school-wide responses are needed. The field of education is moving away from school-wide discipline that is
punishment-based and moving more toward establishing evidence-based practices that prevent, teach and reinforce expected classroom and school-
wide expectations (Anderson and Kincaid, 2005).
Since the 1990s, the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) has represented a significant change in
approach to school discipline. PBIS is a framework that enhances the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design effective
environments that improve social and academic competence for all students, including students with disabilities. Research on the effects of PBIS
on school-wide discipline has shown significant results in reducing problem behaviors and increasing positive school climate. Schools that
implement PBIS with fidelity and integrity see a dramatic decrease in the number of behavior problems experienced in their schools. Additionally,
students enjoy greater levels of support and inclusion than those in comparative schools who do not use a system of Positive Behavioral Interventions
and Supports. (www.pbis.org)
This course will expose students to the three tiers of the PBIS framework for promoting positive behaviors in all schools and across all grades: (a)
universal strategies to support all students; (b) targeted strategies for students at risk; and (c) intensive strategies for students with significant
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, students will have:
1. Gained an understanding of the history and background of PBIS within the context of applied behavioral analysis in regular and special
2. Explored the evidence that supports PBIS as a framework that promotes student academic and behavioral success
3. Demonstrated knowledge and skills needed to implement school-wide and classroom strategies to promote positive behavior and prevent
problem behaviors (Tier 1)
4. Demonstrated knowledge and skills needed to implement evidence-based strategies for groups of students not responding to school-wide
strategies (Tier 2)
5. Explored the evidence-based strategies for students with complex needs (Tier 3)
6. Examined the systems necessary for sustainable implementation of PBIS
7. Developed knowledge and skills in using data to assess fidelity of implementation and student outcomes

Many members of the class are practicing professionals and/or otherwise are personally acquainted with people who have disabilities, their families,
and service providers. Undoubtedly, in the course of practicum projects, assignments, or other class communication, students will share their personal
experiences related to class content. Therefore, it is vital that all such communications respect the confidentiality of those individuals with disabilities,
their families, and service providers. Class members should not use the names of individuals or other identifying information. If such identifying
information is inadvertently disclosed, you are obliged to keep that information confidential.
Classroom Expectations:
Aligning with the mission and values of the University of Vermont, our classroom discussions, interactions and relationships will be built upon respect,
understanding, reciprocity and willingness to learn and engage with our community. Personal computers are allowed for note taking and class-related
purposes only.
Religious Observance:
The official policy for excused absences for religious holidays: Students have the right to practice the religion of their choice. Each semester students
should submit in writing to their instructors by the end of the second full week of classes their documented religious holiday schedule for the semester.
Faculty must permit students who miss work for the purpose of religious observance to make up this work.
Academic Honesty & Professionalism:
All students are required to be familiar with and adhere to the Academic Honesty Policy Procedures delineated in the following website.
http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmppg/ppg/student/acadintegrity.pdf ).
In keeping with University policy, any student with a documented disability interested in utilizing accommodations should contact ACCESS, the office
of Disability Services on campus. ACCESS works with students and faculty in an interactive process to explore reasonable and appropriate
accommodations via an accommodation letter to faculty with approved accommodations as early as possible each semester. All students are strongly
encouraged to meet with their faculty to discuss the accommodations they plan to use in each course. Contact ACCESS: A170 Living/Learning Center;
802-656-7753; email@example.com; www.uvm.edu/access UVMs policy on disability certification and student support:
Attendance Expectations:
Students are expected to attend all scheduled Face-to-Face Meetings, Online meetings & Webinars. Arriving to class on time, staying the full class,
completing assigned readings, and class participation are expected. If you are absent on the day an assignment is due, you are still expected to submit
the assignment on time (e.g., via email). Although I do appreciate being informed if you know you will be absent from class, I do not intend to make
determinations about excused versus unexcused absences. Students will not be penalized for religious holidays (see policy above). Otherwise, (barring
something extremely unusual), points will be deducted from the final grade due to absences.
Assignments have been numerically weighted with a total score of 200 points.
Grade Percent Points Grade Percent Points
*Note: D grades pertain to undergraduates only. Anything below 70% or C- is considered an F for graduate students.
**Note: A grade of A+ is reserved for exceptional work beyond the highest scores on assignments, to include: (a) substantial and ongoing participation
in class activities, (b) exemplary demonstration of integrating information across different classes, (c) all assignments submitted on time, and (d)
full attendance at all class sessions. The grade of A+ is awarded at the discretion of the instructor.
Grade Appeals:

Grape type: Fresh marc of schiava, merlot and lagrein, rue
Appearance: Light green
Aromatic profile: Clear recognition of the flavouring
Taste: Persistent, slightly alcoholic, great balance between the destillate and the rue leafs.
Alcoholic strength: 40% Vol.
Notes: Rue is a plant that grows on poor soil or in wine regions. It is well known for its digestive and diuretic characteristics and is usually harvested before its flowering time. It is then left to infuse for about 30 days in fresh grappa and finally bottled with a fresh rue branch. Our rue grappa is characterised by a smooth, soft and slightly herbaceous taste.

'He Was Loved by All': Friends in Baltimore Mourn Elijah Cummings
A tall man in a winter coat took off his hat and bowed his head just outside the office of Representative Elijah E. Cummings on Thursday. He stood for a minute, eyes closed, then turned and walked away. A bouquet of white tulips lay on the ground near the door. Four musicians from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra came to play some music, including an improvisation of "Amazing Grace," one of Mr. Cummings's favorites. (NYT)Read Full Article
Former State Delegate Pleads Guilty To Wire Fraud
A former Maryland state lawmaker has pleaded guilty to illegally using campaign funds for her personal benefit. Tawanna Gaines faces a sentence of up to 20 years, following her plea Thursday to one count of wire fraud. U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang is scheduled to sentence her Jan. 3. Chuang says guidelines call for eight to 33 months in prison, depending on the court's calculation of her criminal history. (WBAL) Read Full Article
City Civilian Review Board Leaders Press for More Power to Investigate Police
Two leaders of Baltimore's Civilian Review Board told a state commission investigating police corruption Thursday that changes are needed to create more robust civilian oversight and to avoid Baltimore Police Department influence in internal investigations. "We all know the history of police departments investigating themselves. I think we can all agree that they don't do the best job," George Buntin, chairman of the review board, said to the Commission to Restore Trust in Policing in Annapolis on Thursday. (Md.

Cummings' Seat To Remain Vacant Until At Least February
A special election will be held to fill the seat held by U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, who died early Thursday from complications of a series of recent health issues. However, the seat will remain empty until at least February. State law gives Gov. Larry Hogan 10 days to issue a proclamation declaring that a special primary election and a special general election will be held to fill the vacancy. (WBAL) Read Full Article

Post Conference Reading: Professor Rucker Johnson on why school integration works
Brown v. Board of Education was hailed as a landmark decision for civil rights. But decades later, many consider school integration a failure. UC Berkeley professor Rucker C. Johnson's new book Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works shows the exact opposite is true. The book looks at decades of studies to show that students of all races who attended integrated schools fared better than those who did not. In this interview with Goldman School of Public Policy Dean Henry E. Brady, which took place on Jan. 9, 2019, Johnson explains how he and his team analyzed the impact of not just integration, but school funding policies and the Head Start program.

Post-Conference Reading: Region's elected officials urge their governments to commit to affordable-housing targets
Washington-area elected officials voted Wednesday to push their local governments to address the region's affordable-housing shortage by setting individual targets to increase production of low- and medium-cost housing by 2030. The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) said the region needs to add 320,000 housing units between 2020 and 2030 — 75,000 more units than forecast. Of those, at least three-quarters should be affordable to low- and middle-income households, according to a resolution approved unanimously by the COG board, which means they should cost $2,500 a month or less.

Post-Conference Reading: To Shrink Achievement Gap, Integrate School Districts
Does segregation still matter? When it comes to educating our nation's school children, the answer is yes, according to research published last week by the Stanford University Center for Education Policy Analysis. But the problem isn't race, the study finds. It is poverty. Decades after the end of legalized segregation, and the funding disparities that accompanied it, minority students remain disproportionately concentrated in high-poverty areas. Academically, they trail students in more affluent areas, and they fall increasingly behind as the years pass. The result is an achievement gap that limits the educational and career opportunities of nonwhite children. But the gap narrows, according to the research, when school districts are integrated, exposing poor minority students to the same opportunities as their richer peers. (WSJ)Read Full Article
Post Conference Reading: Can Maryland follow a Massachusetts model on education funding?
As a Maryland public school parent and as an educator, I know firsthand the difference that public schools can make for students. They made all the difference for me (literally saving my life). I also know that the future is in great hands because students, including my daughters, are leading the way to build a better tomorrow, thanks, in large part, to public schools. (Wash.

Attorney General Frosh Announces $116M Multistate Settlement with Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon, Inc.
Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh announced a multistate settlement with Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon, Inc. over allegations they deceptively promoted Ethicon transvaginal surgical mesh medical devices in violation of the Consumer Protection Act.

Stein to leave Maryland Humanities as executive director
Maryland Humanities announced Thursday Executive Director Phoebe Stein will leave the nonprofit group at the end of February. Stein has served as the organization's executive director for more than 11 years. A national search will be conducted to seek her replacement.

During her time with the organization, it has significantly expanded its programming, partnerships, and resources, despite arriving just a few months prior to a national recession.

Baltimore Police Chief Harrison says he needs business community's help
Businesses played a role in helping Michael Harrison turn the New Orleans police department around, and he has a similar outlook for how they can help in Baltimore. The Baltimore Police Commissioner, who started in March after serving four years as New Orleans' police chief, said his relationship with the business community in Louisiana was "extremely important" to his work there. Businesses helped to fill needs that government agencies didn't have the resources to meet, he said. (Balt. Bus. Journal) Read Full Article
Amazon launches charm offensive from The Wharf, battling perception it hurts small business
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is looking to change the perception that it hurts small business with a series of pop-up style events across the U.S. And it started in the District. The first "Amazon Small Business Spotlight" was held Tuesday at The Wharf. Roughly 20 sellers, invited by Amazon, from Greater Washington and along the East Coast displayed their goods and spoke about how selling on the platform has helped to grow their customer bases — and in some cases made them a fortune.

What's next for Salisbury Middle School? Superintendent talks moves to keep students safe
A stretch of unrest at Salisbury Middle School has spurred immediate intervention, but Wicomico County Public Schools Superintendent Donna Hanlin said there's now long-term, community-focused work to be done. In a Wednesday interview, she described the recent turmoil at the school as a week-long increase in "disruptions" or "altercations between students." Among these incidents was a lunch "disturbance" resolved with pepper spray and a fight that sent a student to a Baltimore hospital with a head injury. (Delmarva) Read Full Article

Post-U. Md. poll: Most Md. residents open to higher taxes to boost school spending
As Maryland lawmakers weigh revamping the state's public education system, a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds widespread support for dramatically boosting school spending and an openness to higher income taxes to finance it. The findings could fuel a growing battle between Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who has vowed to fight any tax increases, and the Democratic legislative leaders who have made the costly education overhaul a top priority. (Wash. Post) Read Full Article
Enrollment at most Maryland colleges has dropped in recent years. Here's where it has grown.
University of Maryland Global Campus saw its total student enrollment grow between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2018 while most other Maryland colleges did not. The Adelphi-based public university, formerly called University of Maryland, University College until a name change in July, saw a 40% enrollment increase in the timeframe mentioned above, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education. The spike can largely be attributed to an increase in the school's online degree programs, which university spokesman Robert Ludwig said have become more popular at UMGC and across the country in recent years.

Editorial: Rep. Elijah Cummings was a skilled politician and staunch defender of Baltimore
No public official ever wanted to be the one to speak after Rep. Elijah Cummings. He would talk about the most esoteric issues of the day with such eloquent prose that it was easy to forget you were at a press conference about health reform or taxes. When he finished, it wasn't unusual for the next speaker to preface what they were about to say with the caveat that they would not match up to the statesman's words. Cummings spoke like he was at the pulpit — likely the influence of his highly religious upbringing and daily family testimonials — and nobody was trying to compete. Ironic, given the fact that a counselor once told him he would never become an attorney because he wasn't smart enough and didn't speak well. (Balt. Sun)Read Full Article
Perez: Elijah Cummings leaves us with a broken heart but a better world
Thursday, I woke up to the tragic news that my friend and mentor Elijah Cummings is no longer with us. I have been fearing this moment for some time, and I hoped that Elijah would follow in the footsteps of his namesake: Elijah, the prophet of the Old Testament, was a miracle worker, and I prayed that a miracle would restore my friend to good health. But now my heart is broken. Elijah Cummings was the moral compass of Maryland politics. He was the conscience of Congress. And he reminded us regularly that the test of a man is not how much he helps himself, but how much he helps those less fortunate. (Balt. Sun)Read Full Article

Alternative Fact of the Week: The abandonment of an ally
President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. forces from northern Syria, abandoning the Kurds who fought shoulder-to-shoulder with American soldiers against ISIS was a disgrace that no amount of "alternative facts" can hide. There are any number of terrible consequences for this sudden and ill-considered move: a rising death toll for Kurdish forces, a strengthening of despot Syrian President Bashar Assad, another victory for Russia President Vladimir Putin and a loss of U.S. standing in the Middle East and the rest of the world as allies must wonder where else will President Trump decide to cut and run.

For almost ten years now, Strobist has embraced the idea that by freely sharing knowledge we can all learn to make better photos. And because photography is now digital, with low barriers to entry and instant visual feedback, that learning process is simpler than ever.
As photographers, we owe much to the ease of the digital process. But digital has also stripped much of the value from our work. Ones and zeroes want to be free.
Starting today, the Photographer's Oil Collective is a strong push back against that trend. Rather than just creating painterly light, a photographer can now create a high-quality oil painting. And it can be done at a surprisingly accessible cost.
The portrait above is a painting, done by POC artist Zhixing Zhang from a photo by Moscow-based photographer Alex Mazurov. As a photo, it was one of many. As a painting, it is a one-of-a-kind object, designed and destined to last.
I first ventured into the rabbit hole of oil reproduction in 2012. It started as an idea — a lark, really — to translate a photo that had great sentimental value into something that would exist in our family for many generations.
Having shot the photo of my kids in 2008, I was long familiar with it. But when the painting (seen above) arrived I was overwhelmed by how strongly I was drawn to it. It somehow felt much more significant than the photo. A collaboration between subject, photographer and a skilled artist 10,000 miles away.
A painting is just different. It is a time-consuming and organic process, with half a dozen layers of semi-transparent oil. Skin tones look luminous.
My first experience with this was that of an enthusiast photographer. Literally, a dad with a camera. As I spent more time with the painting, and thinking about the personal value that it unlocked for me, I starting thinking of it in the context of professional photographers. With the right painters and the right training (on both sides of the image creation process) this could unlock great value and entirely new business models for us.
With prints, we quietly acknowledge that we are competing on price with the neighborhood Costco. With paintings, we are competing with artists who routinely charge thousands of dollars for a simple portrait. And much more for larger/more complex work.
But in theory, we could produce better work —a nd at a cost that would create a new business model for photographers. There was so much potential.
So I traveled to Xiamen, China, where Zhixing Zhang lives and paints. Xiamen is a world center for commercial oil painting, and Mr. Zhang is a leader in the community of artists who live there. With the help of a team of local art directors and translators, we searched among the over 5,000 oil painters in the city to create a small group of hand-picked artists. As a result, we were now partnered with four exceptional reproduction oil painters.
A good start.
But they would need to learn to think like photographers; to develop a better understanding for our needs. They'd have to more closely align their palette with the more muted colors in what the West sees as classic paintings. So we commissioned multiple rounds of paintings from each of our painters, fine-tuning them to be able to better work with us.
(And to the photographers who graciously agreed to be involved in the testing/education process with us: Thank you.)
And the education would not end there. Photographers would also need to learn how to create photos that could be best reproduced as oil paintings. For both sides, education would be the key to bridging that knowledge gap. But that sort of thing is our bread and butter at Strobist.
The information photographers need to know (to meet the painters halfway) is now in place. And we are adding to that knowledge base continually. Our growing list of white papers will include education on technical considerations, shooting/lighting methods, business models and more. In short, it will contain everything you will need to know to become capable of producing a beautiful painting — for your clients, or for yourself.
I have spent the last ten years learning to think outside of the box as a photographer; to challenge assumptions and to unlock possibilities. Strobist is one of the results of that line of thinking.
Today, I am equally proud to introduce the Photographer's Oil Collective. With studios in Xiamen, and administrative offices in Dubai, photographers anywhere in the world can now offer museum-quality oil portraiture for their clients.
