Kurdes, de l'ombre à la lumière
Région autonome depuis 2003, le Kurdistan irakien, longtemps en proie à la guerre, est peu connu des occidentaux. À travers un travail inscrit dans la tradition de la photographie humaniste, Emmanuel Smague nous invite à découvrir un peuple chaleureux, au lendemain de son oppression sous le régime de Saddam Hussein. Il nous dévoile ainsi les multiples facettes de cet endroit du monde dont les habitants représentent la première richesse et nous ouvre les yeux sur une humanité réfugiée sur ses propres terres, celles de ses ancêtres. Le témoignage d’Emmanuel Smague renvoie les regards des Kurdes à nos propres indifférences, pour mieux les graver dans nos mémoires.

Kurds, from darkness to light
An independent region since 2003, Iraqi Kurdistan, war-torn for many years, is little known among Westerners. Through his work in the humanist photographic tradition, Emmanuel Smague invites us to discover a warm people as it emerges from the oppression of Saddam Hussein’s regime. He reveals to us the many faces of this part of the world where people constitute the main wealth and he opens our eyes to people who are refugees on their own land -- the land of their ancestors. Through Emmanuel Smague’s testimonial, our eyes meet the gaze of the Kurds’ eyes lifting the veil of our indifference and indelibly engraving images deep into our memories.

During the Spring of 1916 my grandmother was a student teacher in the small city in Central New York where I was born. This is a photograph out of the notebook she used to write lesson plans. The subject is Geography and the class appeared to be 4th Grade. The date is March 27, 1916. My grandmother never went on to teach. She married my grandfather on July 24th that same year. Seeing as my uncle was born that same October, I'm guessing it was a hurry up marriage!
Book Off is a chain of used book stores in Japan. There seems to be one or more stores in every town of any size and they are usually pretty crowded at any time of day. Sometimes you can pick up some nice "coffee table" photography books for three or four percent of their original price. It is almost as cheap as looking at good photographs for free on Flickr. I must say though that it is nice to have a real paper photograph to look at once in a while.
DAY 25: Books
Some children today view reading as a boring chore, but experts encourage parents to recognise the importance of helping children to view books as another form of entertainment just like their other toys.
We have had children’s books around our home since our three year old Son was born. It started with cloth books and plastic bath time books and then things progressed to board books. Now though paper page books have come into their own and he just loves looking at books and listening while Mummy and Daddy read his favourite stories. Our little baby girl is similarly taking an interest in cloth books and we have no doubt that she will develop a great love for books, like her older brother.
Currently our little boy loves all the Disney stories in book form including Jungle Book, Bambi, Peter Pan and 101 Dalmatians. Annuals are another favourite including Bob the Builder, Postman Pat, Thomas the Tank Engine and Winnie the Pooh. Other books he loves include Ladybird books on a wide range of subjects including Visiting the Dentist, Going Swimming, Playschool and Busy Building Site. Having a large range of books available means that he doesn’t get bored and his interest in reading and books is constantly kept strong.
As today’s image hopefully shows, books come in all shapes and sizes, all with a great deal of colour. When you watch a child open a book, you can see straight away that their imagination is awakened and their minds appreciate hearing or reading the words on the pages come to life. As they learn to read the foundation laid during the early years bears fruit as children develop a lifelong love for reading.
Note: the set up for this image meant that the Bambi book was nearly a meter off the ground. There were a huge number of items keeping the books in place (wooden blocks, other books etc). We had one collapse where every book fell to the ground and we had to start again. Eventually we set the camera up with a deep depth of field, a direct link to the PC and we managed to get the required shot pretty quickly. This demonstrates that the time taken in setting up is rewarded.

Yes, I'm reading a book for the first time in years and what am I reading is but a "love story with a BITE", a VAMPIRE story.
I first watched it in a local tv, a Friday Night Special. I was fascinated with the main characters love to each other. So I bought my own DVD and read some reviews on the net. Still not contented, I bought my own book at amazon.
I am now a few pages away to "New Moon". And soon on buying the "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn". Not to mention the most awaited "Midnight Sun".
It is good to have a book you want to take whenever you wanted to escape to the fast pace of life.
Happy Friday Flickr friends.
Books are the key of civilization.
Books are a light in the darkness.
Books are a source of inspiration.
Les livres sont la clé de la civilisation.
Les livres sont un rempart de lumière contre l'obscurité.

Seen in the breakfast room of the French B&B we stayed in on our way south. So many really old books - its the smell, as well as the sight of them that is so good!
Fran and Sol hit the books.

Please!! NO Glittery Awards or Large Graphics...Buddy Icons are OK. Thank You!
BTW, the book is Don Quixote which makes a great photographic prop but which I've never been able to actually read! LOL!
This is my 26th new heart image this year and I hope my last until 2015! Thanks so much for your patience through all the heart-shapes and bright redness, my friends! My coffee-with-cream colored hearts yesterday and today are a balm for sore eyes!
And may you have a respite from extreme weather conditions! My daughter in Missouri says she is weary of winter while I out here in California am weary of summer, in February! Our temperature today is supposed to reach 81 degrees F. Our rainfall today since July 1 last year has now reached 1.1 inches. We'll gladly take your rain, London! Stay safe from the extremes, my friends!

thanks to kerstin frank for the texture . Bought these at the last fete of the year. As if I need more books.!!! However they do stimulate the creative juices. lol
I promise to do this once only. The whoop whoop dance. :-). Oh yeah oh yeah. Had another sale on Getty. From a book publishing company.
This photograph is my first attempt with the black and white filter. It wasn't a good day. Being so out of practice, I'd forgot a few things, and was having one of those days!
Downloaded a free trial of creative cloud yesterday, and it's wasted on me. I've not got a clue! And I tried to install thCop otoshe phS5 from the disk. The whole laptop goosed up, and I ended up resetting it. It's still a bit goosed, occasionaly when i'm typing, the curser key jumps back to a previous paragraph, or the page goes up/down. Does anyone know what it's doing ?
I know this has been done *many* times before...but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
