The most important thing in the world is family and love.
John Wooden
If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.
Mother Teresa
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.”
Jim Rohn
In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.
Marge Kennedy
In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.
Friedrich Nietzche
It’s all about the quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.
Philip Green

An exhibition of indian photography by Raghu Rai at Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy, France. I decided to convert my photo to monochrome as his original of Mother Teresa was in B&W. I added noise to the entire exposure, apart from his original photo, to invoke the texture of homage paid by these women to a great role model and to draw the viewer's eye to Rai's classic masterpiece. I also love the way Mother Teresa is masking her face with her hands in homage to the women's current restrictions. The composition is also reminiscent of the nativity scene as the shepherds approached the baby Jesus.
Mural on the Rossville Street Flats at Free Derry Corner of local icon and Nobel Peace Prize winner, the late John Hume, along with Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Mother Teresa. The presence of the last is interesting as she would not necessarily appear on ‘progressive’ political material elsewhere in the world.
Free Derry Corner is a historical landmark in the Bogside area of Derry~Londonderry immediately below the city’s famous walls, with several political murals from a Republican or Nationalist perspective. It is a significant tourist attraction in the city.
Derry or Londonderry – the name itself is a subject of political dispute – is the second city of Northern Ireland and fifth largest on the island of Ireland, with a population of around 100,000.
Derry is perhaps most famous for its walls, constructed as late as 1613-9 to protect English and Scottish settlers from native Irish people. This makes it the last walled city to be constructed anywhere in Europe. The walls remain completely intact and there is a walkway along top of the whole mile or 1½ km of them. These are the only intact city walls in Ireland and one of the finest in Europe. They are a major part of the city’s draw as a tourist attraction.
The conflict which became known as The Troubles is widely regarded as having started in Derry in 1969; the city was also a stronghold of the Civil Rights Movement. In the early 1970s the city was heavily militarised and there was widespread civil unrest. Several districts in the city constructed barricades to control access and prevent the forces of the state from entering. Violence, however, eased from the end of the 1980s while The Troubles still raged in other parts of Northern Ireland, and there have been persistent rumours that local IRA leaders secretly negotiated a truce with the British military in the city. Nowadays it is a peaceful place, and well worth a visit.
