Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.

By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.

With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.


Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

Photography a Crime?

~shatteredlens:iconshatteredlens: reports, December 13, 2004

Photography A Crime?

Photography a Crime?

If the Metropolitan Transit Authority has anything to say about it, New York City shutterbugs will no longer be able to snap away while riding either the subway system or the bus. For the second time in 2004, the camera ban, which applies to both still photography and video, has been brought back to the table by the MTA board. The public is given a 45-day period, starting from the proposal’s announcement on November 24 and ending January 10, 2005, to speak out regarding the possible ban. The following are the proposed amendments:

1050.9.c. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part.

1040.4.f. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by SIRTOA or the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
Make your voice heard: email a comment to the MTA.
Feel like writing? Postal mail goes to:

David Goldenberg
New York City Transit Authority
130 Livingston Street, Room 1207
Brooklyn NY 11201

New laws get dumber by the day.

A man lies in the corner, covered with blood.
Bloody wounds on his body, praying to his god.
People pass him by, but they all say:
Why should we care about him? He will die today!
:iconsloan47:
This is a horrible law. They are probably trying to make sure terrorists can't get layouts or something with cameras. Like that's going to stop anyone.
:iconpericles:
I think this is too "strange".
Especialy the "[...] except members of the press holding valid press identification cards [...]" makes me think that this whole bullshit is about to control the media. Only what the press takes can be controled and get out to the masses. While individual photography (aka. photo-reporters) among citizens will be banned. Sound perfect to me. That's something that Orwell forgot to write down in his 1984 book. :P

I say Fight it back! If I like to take a shoot in the metro it's my right to do so! Isn't america a free land after all? *gets hit with a mallet which is labeled "Wake up to reality"* :P
:iconastrophel:
New York Subways must remain open to photography. It's one of the few places in our world that remain open to the real and surreal. I've never been anywhere that compares. Ever.

Also: there is no way to prevent photographs being taken by people you don't want taking pictures. I have a camera that fits inside a zippo lighter case. Unless you get the general public to do your policing for an unpopular law...and then where are we?

Is there any reason why the law is going to be introduced? Not being an American myself, I don't know the backstory to it.

yes .. everyone with a camera is a terrorist. they know our secret! we must strike now. how pathetic. our freedom is being shat on. patriot act my ass.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
:iconcooper:
WTF the world can think of the most stupidest things to ban for the stupidest reasons... jeez... :O
:iconnef:
It's banned in the London underground, and although I'm an art student and it would be interesting to take pictures there, I'm glad there's a ban.. It would be really annoying for people to take my picture while I'm just sitting there all standing all squashed. (The subject would get even more cliche'd, now that I think about it.. every other project would be about it >.>;) I'm sure the train drivers wouldn't appreciate a flash shining at them every other station, either.

Not like they can stop photos completely anyway.. what'll they do, confiscate your camera phone? :P

It tastes like a heart attack!
