THE DIZZINESS OF FREEDOM: I Wrung My Hands →
I wrung my hands under my dark veil…
“Why are you pale, what makes you reckless?”
— Because I have made my loved one drunk
with an astringent sadness.
I’ll never forget. He went out, reeling;
his mouth was twisted, desolate…
I ran downstairs, not touching the banisters,
and followed him as…

World Press Photo of the year awarded to Samuel Aranda
The international jury of the 55th annual World Press Photo Contest announced Friday that it had selected a picture by Samuel Aranda as the World Press Photo of the Year 2011.
Jurors said the photo of a veiled woman holding a wounded relative in her arms after a demonstration in Yemen captured multiple facets of the “Arab Spring” uprisings across the Middle East last year. It was taken at a field hospital inside a mosque in Sanaa on October 15.
The winning photo was selected from 101,254 images submitted by 5,247 photographers from 124 countries. (source)

LOL
What happens when it’s the other way around, lol.
As funny as this may be, interesting to know that some parts of the world may know about a “white man” or lightly skinned people but never have seen them. I wonder what the perception is from their point of view. In a way it i actually sad, while it is encouraged through globalization by anthropologists for cultures to keep as many parts of their traditions alive, I wonder how that effects those who may never see differently colored others in their time. It makes me question how they will accept others into their culture.
I feel as though I have a lot of comments to make on this, but all the words are coming out wrong. Ugh, the above probably sounds scrambled.
Yeah, I’m sure if we had a picture up there with the races reversed, this picture would not be nearly as warm and embracing;-)
