Late 2019, I had a pleasure of visiting Italy.  Though I have been there few times, the country offers always lots to discover. This time I visited Pisa and Tuscany. What great cities they both were. 

This week I will share photos of the houses, with an accent on windows. See what you see. :)

Black Milk vol.1

One of my most random live concert is by Black Milk. I do admire his work, but I wasn't like the biggest fan or anything. But it was a great experience. I was so glad I was able to take photos there. These were taken 11 years ago on 8th March in Toronto.

If you have no idea who is Black Milk, then below is some information of him from wikipedia.

Curtis Eugene Cross (born August 14, 1983), better known by his stage name Black Milk, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer.

In addition to Slum Village, Black Milk has worked with J Dilla, Elzhi, Phat Kat, Frank-N-Dank, Lloyd Banks, Canibus, Pharoahe Monch, RZA, Danny Brown, Black Thought, T3 and many more throughout his career.

In 2004, Black Milk formed B.R. Gunna with Young RJ and Fat Ray. Together they released Dirty District: Vol. 2, a follow up to a compilation released in 2001 by Slum Village, to which Black Milk had contributed production. In 2005, he released a solo album, Sound of the City, Vol. 1, signing a record contract with Fat Beats Records in 2006 (Fat Beats is currently distributed by Koch Entertainment, the largest independent distributor in the U.S.). In the fall of 2006, he released an EP, titled Broken Wax, and handled most of the production on T3's Olio mixtape.[citation needed] On March 13, 2007, he released his second album, Popular Demand. 

Women's week vol.7

31. Women have far fewer speaking roles in the film than men. 

32. Despite being as successful as male athletes, women in sports still face gender inequality.

33. And women's sports are vastly underfunded to begin with.

34. Women are woefully undereducated about their own bodies and sexualities.

35. Women still don't have bodily autonomy.  

So, this is how women are handled, suppressed, avoided etc. 

Women are not just slabs of meat to dance for men!

Respect women, and respect human rights.

Thanks for Marie Claire for putting together this list: https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/news/a15652/gender-inequality-stats/

Women's week vol.1

This week, I will share relatively uncommon photos I took ten years ago during one night club entertainment night. 

The show consisted of a few girls dancing and stripping down, giving mild lapdances and whatnot. Of course, the show was well accepted, as the girls were pretty, and showed their gorgeous bodies to the crowd mostly consisting of men.

This shoot stuck with me and I have kept these photos unpublished for a long time. Today, I feel that it is the right time to publish and share some of the unjust points, which are applied to women every day. 

1. Women pay more for common household items than men do.

2. The "pink tax" isn't just for personal care items.

3. Women make less money than their male counterparts.

4. For Black, Latina, and women of color, the pay gap is even worse.

5. Workplace sexual harassment is so common that it directly contributes to the wage gap.

Carolyn, one of the owners of Bon Eco Design ias working on preparing a truck tire for her next product, which is a wonderful mirror frame. They have and are doing wonderful work at their company. Using already existing materials and giving the unwanted stuff new home. I am glad I was able to volunteer and give my part to the process of creating some works. Great place, great people.
