Echolilia: A Father’s Photographic Conversation with His Autistic Son. Timothy Archibald uses his camera to find an emotional bridge to his son Photographs and text from the book Echolilia: Sometimes I Wonder

My eldest son was born in 2001. He was always a kid who went to the beat of his own drummer. When he was 5, we began making photographs collaboratively as a way to find some common ground and attempt to understand each other. Soon after we began the project, Elijah was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. Though the diagnosis gave me the words and history to understand my son better, it didn’t take away the mystery and the need to try to find an emotional bridge to him.”Echolilia” is an alternate spelling of a more common term, “echolalia,” used in the autistic community to refer to the habit of verbal repetition and copying that is commonly found in autistic kids’ behavior. I liked the idea of it: photography is a form of copying. Kids are a form of repetition. And looking at my kid with photography allowed me to see myself a new

fuckyeahcraft:

I HATE real flowers. I think symbolically they’re horrible unless hand picked. The process of mass producing flowers is horrible and results in many workers dying early of cancer.

Also they’re the dying sexual organs of a plant.

Thats not sexy.

So I love ways to hand make flowers, it’s more creative, more thoughtful, they last longer, and no one gets health problems from then. (Y’know, unless you’re doing them very wrong.)

So here’s a nice tutorial from Blush and Bashful.

this is how i did my hair for my cousin’s wedding. pardon the awful photo quality; i’m lazy. just a french braid on one side of my head curving around to the other, and a low side pony tail, which i had pinned a flower over the rubber band (who knows where that flower went). nonetheless, a few people asked me where i went and got my hair done and it was fun to tell them i did it myself.

Me, dani and my sister.

thisbigcity:

The energy that comes out of solar panels is renewable, but what about the panels themselves? Today’s leading solar panels owe their high sunlight-to-electricity conversion rates to the use of rare elements, such as indium, gallium and selenium. But if current production trends continue unchecked, supplies of indium in particular will be depleted in less than a decade. The pressure is on to find a way of making solar power even more sustainable.
