Apparently during February some german cities go crazy and the entire town turns into a huge street costume party with parades and everything. This is the awesomest, cutest costume i saw this year:

“It behoveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His glory.”

Bahá’u’lláh

It’s the time of the year again – the Baha’i Fast, a period of nineteen days in which Baha’is around the world abstain from food and water each day from sunrise to sunset, has started again.

These are, O my Lord, the days in which Thou hast bidden Thy servants to observe the Fast. Blessed is he that observeth the Fast wholly for Thy sake and with absolute detachment from all things except Thee. Assist me and assist them, O my Lord, to obey Thee and to keep Thy precepts. Thou, verily, hast power to do what Thou choosest.

– Bahá’u’lláh –

Grant, O my Lord, that the fire of Thy love and the heat produced by the fast enjoined by Thee may inflame them in Thy Cause, and make them to be occupied with Thy praise and with remembrance of Thee.

– Bahá’u’lláh –

Each Year it is an exciting time of finding your way back to your roots, cleansing yourself physically and mentally and enjoying this precious gift bestowed upon us.

This Year I am especially excited as I get to be part of this amazing Project: www.nineteendays.wordpress.com; a Website on which Photographers from around the world share impressions from their precious dawns and dusks during the fast. On March 19th, I will share my photographs with the world and I couldn’t be more excited!

Throughout the remaining 18 days I will hopefully get to share a few of my other photographs with you here on my blog. Until then, Good Night! (It’s only the first day and I already feel sleep deprived!)

Wanted!

I’d really like this for my non existent bedside/coffeetable:

“Where Children Sleep is a collection of James Mollison’s photographs of childrens’ bedrooms from around the world. The book contains a portrait of each child and, as you’d imagine, the differences between the spaces each one calls their own are striking…

The book has been designed to appeal to readers of all ages, with the texts apparently prepared with an audience of nine- to thirteen-year-olds in mind.

“I hope this book will help children think about inequality, within and between societies around the world,” says Mollison in his introduction, “and perhaps start to figure out how, in their own lives, they may respond.”
(from here)

Here are a few examples from this really interesting and thought provoking book:
