Is anyone planning to create Anonymous Women photo book?
A message to all great portrait photographers in my network: Is anyone planning to create a woman anon series photo book? I think it would be a great success these days! Take this photo for inspiration. I even think it wouldn't be so hard to get hold of nude models for this since they would be wearing a mask anyway.. :)

Wake Up, You Have Been Deceived – My Thoughts on 2012, Feelings vs Intelligence, Sustainability, Dictatorships, ACTA and The Continuum Concept
Let me tell you something very shocking. In a case you haven't already noticed you have been fooled. You have being programmed to harm yourself by eating shit, to surround you body with shit, to flood your mind with shit and to do shit to this planet.
Who did this to programming you? Well, sure there are many to blame. You are constantly being lied to wherever you go. There is something terribly wrong with this world and the way it's run. There are definitely "some who are more guilty than others". In the end, though, it is you who is lying to yourself the most, you and you alone. Your own mind has been deceiving you my friend.
If you open any modern spiritual, self-help, a success story or personal development book today you will read that you should follow your intuition to fullfil your dreams, potential and life. You should notice the signs, or little nudges if you will, the universe is giving you and to act on them to progress further on your path. I'm more than fine with that and chances are that you are too. So why the hell don't we do it? I think I've just found the answer in a book I'm reading so let me share it with you.
The book I'm talking about was written Jean Liedloff and it's name is The Continuum Concept (http://www.continuum-concept.org/home.html). It's an older book (1975), some things are outdated, but there are some very good insights in it. And one of the cleverest things in it struck me like a lightning about a week ago.
According Jean Liedloff, the best thing every living creature should be doing to continue the species and ensure thriving is to follow their deepest internal feelings, the intuition within themselves, which guides them. It is not necessarily some artificial supernatural force (or God) that is telling us what to do. It is simply our own expectation of the best life we can possibly have that has been embedded in us during the millions of years of evolution. The problem is that our intellect is trying to interfere with this and to change the way we are behaving.
Intellect is definitely useful in solving everyday's problems but it can be an obstacle preventing us from following the right long-term path. Quote from the book: The less intellect interfered with instinct in the formation of behavioral patterns, the less rigid the structure would need to be on the surface and the more inflexible at its core (in attitude towards self and towards the rights of others, sensitivity to the signals of instinct that favor survival, health, pleasure, a balance of types of activity, an impulse towards the preservation of the species, economical use of the plants and animals in the environment, and so on).
The intellect has been playing tricks on us! Another quote: The more a culture relies upon the intellect to decide policy and rules, the more restraints on the individual are necessary to maintain it. Does this sound familiar to you? Isn't this exactly what is happening in totalitarians' regimes? Isn't this exactly, in a way, what is happening to our society worldwide today?
When something doesn't work we tend to invent more and more intellect-based regulations and to summon orders and restrictions upon us in a desperate attempts to improve systems that are inherently and in their very core, wrong. More and more ridiculous restraints on the individual are necessary to keep these systems going. Think about this next time you hear about today's problems in financial markets, corruption in politics, regulations of the internet (think ACTA), environmental issues, clean energy, healthy foods and the way our medical systems are run. We've been listening to our intellects for too long and created unsustainable systems that we need to get rid of. It's time to start listening to our inner voices again.
I don't know what exactly needs to happen now but I know something will happen and I'm sure this is the way. Something is in the air. I'm thrilled with how everything starts to make sense and how everything seems to be more and more connected. I believe that in the year 2012 we will together change many things on this planet for the better. It's not going to be the end of the world as some people think or want you to think. It will be a huge, global and dramatic change in the minds of billions. We will start listening to ourselves and we will feel our guiding systems again.
It's time to wake up.
