day 43 paintless
threesixtyfive | day fortythree for lah-di-dah. This is going to be a big challenge for us all. I thought it would just be a "snapshot" everyday, but then I find myself actually thinking about what i'm shooting and it takes longer and longer each day. I'd like to be able to revert to just snapshots.. but I can't and based on the quality of most of the shots we're getting in, the others can't either. We have 70 people in the group now, some whom i'll weed out as they are just "in the group" and not posting, but most of us are "lifers" ...We plan to make ourselves a book at the end of this, to have something to keep... Well, I do..
If you want to try it, join, try it...

Homeless or just Free?
A guy I see travelling around the streets of London... took his photo... not sure how he felt about it. i'll have to find him and ask.
Don't think i'll get over it....
I drink good coffee, every morning.
Comes from a place that's far away.
And when I'm done, I feel like talking.
Without you here, there is less to say...
Project Shannon
This is something that I am doing for someone in the threesixtyfive group that I am part of.
Please, if you can donate anything, or send a kind word, please do.
You can post your thoughts HERE
On Behalf of Pennyeast
Shannon is my granddaughter. She was born with severe hearing loss and now at age 4 has been assessed and found suitable for a cochlear implant. Exciting but expensive!! The procedure costs R185 000.00!!! of which Medical aid will cover R100 000.00.
We have set up a number of fundraising options, but the easiest for those far away is probably a donation straight into the Trust Fund established through the University of Stellenbosch. The account details are:
Acc. University of Stellenbosch
Bank: Standard Bank
Code: 050610
Acc. No. 073006955
Ref: Cochlear Implant Unit - Project Shannon
The Ref. is very important to ensure that the money is applied to Shannon's appeal.

Where's my daddy?
Andrew Carter is an amazing "capturer" This is a photo he recently took in China. The story attached describes the photo.
Where's my daddy?
Eight year-old Zheng Lin Xin, who I met on 11 September, doesn't know where her daddy is.
Zheng Da Jing had been taken from Beijing against his will two weeks before by government officials from his home province of Hubei.
His wife hadn't heard from him since.
Mr Zheng had gone to the capital to petition the state council for justice in a property dispute that has left his family homeless.
He's one of thousands from across China who gather in the city to exercise their ancient right to have their pleas heard.
But the Beijing authorities don't want the petitioners causing a nuisance as the city prepares for the communist party congress in a month's time, or generally cluttering the streets as the 2008 Olympics approaches.
So they send them home, often against their will and under cover of darkness.
Nobody knows the exact numbers, but human rights groups receive a steady stream of reports about people being removed each week.
Xin's mum cried as she told us the story, but the little girl just smiled and tried out her English on us.
"Hello" and "Thank you" were the only phrases she knew.

World Roars on Burma
Dear friends,
Our emergency petition to stop the crackdown on peaceful protesters in Burma is exploding, with nearly 500,000 signers from every nation of the world. But the situation in Burma remains desperate, with reports of hundreds of monks being massacred and tortured. Burma's rulers have also killed and expelled international journalists, cutting off global media coverage of their cruelty.
China is still the key - the country with the most power to halt the Burmese generals' reign of terror. We're delivering our message this week with a massive ad campaign in major newspapers, beginning Thursday with a full page ad in the Financial Times worldwide, and in the South China Morning Post. The strength of the ad comes from the number of petition signers listed – can we reach our goal of 1 million signatures this week? The link to sign the petition and view the ad is below, forward this email to all your friends and family!
http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/u.php?cl=22185323
China continues to provide key economic and military support to Burma's dictatorship, but it has been openly critical of the crackdown. Now we need the government to match words with actions. Our ad paints a powerful moment of choice for China in its relationship with the world – will it be a responsible and respected member of the global community, or will it be associated with tyranny and oppression? People power, on the streets of Burma, and around the world, can triumph over tyranny. Our strength is in our numbers, spread the word!
With hope and determination, Ricken, Paul, Ben, Graziela, Pascal, Galit and the whole Avaaz team.

This is my mate snoops, she's in a photographic slump and is having creativity issues, well, from the photo you see here that she took yesterday - you'd have to disagree... I certainly did.
