afroriot:

Express yourself.
Let yourself be heard.
Speak honestly.
And hold yourself high,
No matter what the outcome.
Be comfortable knowing
You’ve let free
Words that could cause you to
Drown in depression, stress, and
Anxiousness.

Speak, even if you are
Not heard.
Speak, even if you are
Ignored.
Speak, and let yourself exhale,
And mutter what you want to be
Heard.

lickypickystickyme:

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

From top to bottom:

Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke (herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).

Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.

Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.

Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.

The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.

Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).

Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).

Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).

Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).

Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.

[ I was going to post a long rant about some arrogant yoga girl who insist people are ignorant for using olive oil to cook and should not eat fish or drink milk or eat cheese because of all sorts of problematic food issues, instead I said, let me focus on those who celebrate food. If you still want to see the link of the article she was waving on her Facebook, there you go. Privileged white people…ugh]

oh goodness, I really don’t see the problem with retouching faces. If you look at an add for lipstick and see huge pimples around the mouth and on the cheeks, would you really pay attention to the product? Honestly.

Check out this photo advertising glasses. http://500px.com/photo/25418741

What would be the first thing you would notice if she had huge zits on her face? As a future retoucher I think it’s a good thing to clear skin and to clean up makeup in a photo, especially if you’re trying to emphasize a product. And i think warping the body is also okay if it’s for an artistic editorial. No, it’s not okay to trick people into thinking that what they see in ads is normal. I can guarantee every single advertisement is photoshoped. I guarantee it.

To me retouching is another form of art and self expression (when working on my own photos). I love it. It’s fun.

I think you’re missing the point.. I images that shown were obviously more than retouched. They basically restructured their anatomy. It was more than just fixing blemished areas. I saw another vid about that woman(pardon, I forget her name) from hunger games were they majorly altered her body. Idk if it was real but I’ll try to find it and reblog it.
