Black background versus White background.

 

 

"It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

 He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some b*stard will get up and say that this never happened'
'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'
Edmund Burke 

This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.

This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving in to it.

 

 
These photos were taken in Germany by James Emison Chanslor, an Army Master Sergeant who served in World War II from 1942 until 1945.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the
six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide! 

Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

Don't just delete this. It will only take a minute to pass this along .
let's cover the world and remember because we cannot let it ever happen again."

An afternoon in Serpentine last Sunday.  Dragged the family outside to enjoy the sunshine while it lasted!

These Twenty-eight parrots will come in nice and close if you have something to eat.

 

 

I love miniature landscapes found on giant boulders or just off roadside curbs...

 

 

 

 

 

One of the few photos I took of my father-in-law before he passed away just before Christmas last year was the inspiration for a drawing my husband did to remember his dad.  It was a very cathartic weekend. 

Sadly my husband lost his Aunty last weekend and while that is sad in itself as she was a truly nice person, my husband will now have to revisit the same funeral home and cemetary that will no doubt bring back all those memories of losing his dad. 

I know because it brought back memories of losing my own father....

In celebration of good people, remembrance of lost fathers and to my husband's skill at keeping memories alive.

 

I was a bit worried that some big, hairy, tattooed guy would come lumbering up while I was shooting his bike ;oP but I couldn't resist the funny!

 

 

 

Walking around the Dwellingup campsite where we stayed I kept finding natural little "still lifes" on the ground...

 

 

 

 

This image was created using photos from the same model portfolio shoot as the girl with the red umbrella. 

The post processing is similar to an image I saw in a high end fashion magazine.

 

A model portfolio shoot from last week inspired by zarias.com.  I absolutely love this look!

 

 

 

 

Mum wanted to practice before she headed off to bed - ever the obliging model!  xxx
