I realise it doesn't say much about war, poverty, or any other of life's crises but it makes me feel small, insignificant and pensive all the same. Perhaps I've become desensitized to photos of bloodshed and tragedy. It's strange that a fir tree moves me more. Maybe it's because it's the last day at work and for once I'm looking forward to Christmas.

His book, "Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir" is just wonderful. Graham Roumieau has been one of my favourite illustrators for a really long time.

(that & french is cool!) at this point in time, at this beginning stage, there’s no one illustrator that rocks me so*.

The minimal use of colour is so effective, and communicates straight away, the similarities and repetition or people going through their day. Love it. Really digging the above photo as well however. I think that's what happens to my doona when I dream.....

I first noticed her work when i saw her pageant series. She has an ability to put herself in situations that I imagine would be extremely intimidating but she seems to just slide into the background. She doesn't portray her subjects in a patronizing obvious way.. this is a rare quality in conflict photography. As she is included in this book i am sure the content must be a inspiring mind field.
