  1. ^they are aren't they? im in the midst of a bureaucratic nightmare right now - so i got a grant for the cameras and my pay and all that to do this, and the organization was not happy at allllll with the product, and have been going back into the files and pulling out photos of muchhh worse quality. they wanna do an exhibition of photos that show 'windows of peace'. so they chose kids posing in front of their homework, smiling etc. instead of the photos that i've been showing here, which are much stronger images in my opinion (and if i allow myself to be arrogant, i know a little bit more about this sort of thing than a social worker).

     

    done venting - i wish these kids had internet/computers/cameras/knew english so they could get on here and contribute, that would be sooo dope if we had 30 kids from the panamanian hood posting daily in the days in pies thread. oh well. (ps, the organization took the cameras back, none of these kids got cameras now), kinda bullshit.

     

    That is fucking bullshit.

     

    Do a blog for them or something. Post the real shit. I bet at least one or two them could go on do something with right inspiration and tools.

     

    I'd be down to contribute some money to send those kids cameras if there was a way they could get them to you to post or something.

     

    What kind of fucking organization does shit like that? Don't put them on blast since you are involved, but they should be giving them one computer(a cheap one will do) or asking people to donate their old crap and let them keep them cameras. You don't take candy from a kid who's never had it.. ya know..?

     

    This is crazy wrong and think it needed to be bumped incase anyone missed it.

     

    Mayor, you only have a week left, but like IOU suggested could you start a blog with the kids images, set up a simple online store and sell prints of the kids work with the cash going to them and/or to a fund to get them their own equipment? Could probably also set up an option for people to donate direct? (could send them something free for their support to say thanks)

     

    Either way, like IOU said I'd also be down to contribute cash to get these kids some gear and I'd hope others on here would to.

  2. Cheers for the heads up s4t4n - I found out about the monkey park randomly the other day and its now on the list (no way I'm missing a park full of monkeys!) and I'm going to check out the bamboo forest while out that way. Lemon water? am I over thinking this and its simply just water with lemon in it? or am i missing the bigger picture? I'll post picks when I get back
