February 8th: Profile…

‘I thought about the word ‘profile’ and what a weird double meaning it had. We say we’re looking at a person’s profile online, or say a newspaper is writing a profile on someone, and we assume it’s the whole them we’re seeing. But when a photographer takes a picture of a profile, you’re only seeing half the face… It’s never the way you would remember seeing them.’
– David Levithan, Every You, Every Me

February 22nd: Pull…

‘Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.’
– Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi

I’ve gone back further for this week’s Throwback Thursday, all the way to 2016, to a photo that I loved. Soft colours combined with a twisting, painful image; I was pretty proud of this one…

But could I make it softer? Would that make it more powerful?

February 20th: Free the Nipple…

‘Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.’
– Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Yesterday evening, I went to the Royal Albert Hall to watch the recording of my favourite podcast, the Guilty Feminist. The recording itself was wonderful and I can’t wait to hear it again!

As often happens, early in the show Deborah Frances-White asked if anyone was wearing a feminist t-shirt, and among the responses was a woman wearing a ‘free the nipple’ shirt!

So I thought I would…

Finding an open door into a box overlooking an empty Royal Albert Hall was much too good an opportunity to miss after all!
