Your Family: Past, Present, and Future. This post was originally published about a year ago.
Back with new posts soon. I have one living grandparent—my father’s mother, who’s 89. Nana. I visited Nana recently and went through the usual activities—talking about myself in a loud voice, fixing her “broken machine” by unminimizing the internet browser window, being told to slow down Timothy and get in the left lane, even though the turn is still a half mile ahead. But I also used the visit as an opportunity to do something I have not done nearly enough in my life—ask her questions about our family. I don’t know you, but I can almost guarantee that you don’t ask your grandparents (or older parents) enough questions about their lives and the lives of their parents.
During my visit, Nana referred to herself as “the last of the Mohicans,” meaning basically everyone she spent her life with is dead—her husband, siblings, cousins, and friends are all gone. So on this visit, I started asking questions. She was annoyed. I knew none of this. What I Be Project by Steve Rosenfield Photography. The “What I Be Project” is a social experiment turned into, what is now, a global movement about honesty and empowerment.
In today’s society, we are often told to look or act a certain way. If we differ from these “standards,” we are often judged, ridiculed, bullied and sometimes even killed over them. I started this project in hopes to open up the lines of communication, and to help everyone accept diversity with an open mind & heart and empower those who feel they suffer for something they may see as a flaw. A little background on how “What I Be” became “What I Be” About 12 years ago, I was working as a network administrator at a big computer company in Boston, MA.
I got into photography from my dear friend Boz, who I met while rock climbing in France. Although being able to photograph people and make a living off it was so amazing, I wanted to do something with my passion that had more meaning. Many ask where the name “What I Be” came from. . - Steve Rosenfield. S Inaugural Innovators List: 12 Who Are Changing Hollywood.

It is built in'• Howard Jacobson: 'You have to see failure as an opportunity'• Will Self: 'People say my writing is dreadful and pretentious'• Lionel Shriver: 'No one wants to buy a book about disappointment' Diana Athill From the age of 22 to that of about 39 I knew myself to be a failure. For many of those years I was not positively unhappy, because I was doing work I enjoyed, was fond of my friends and often had quite a good time; but if at any moment I stood back to look at my life and pass judgment on it, I saw that it was one of failure.

Clay art by Meredith Dittmar. Based in Portland OR, Meredith Dittmar grew up in a world of pet pigs, horses, hay-forts and spy games.
Dittmar’s human-animal-plant-energy amalgams contain threads of common elements and colors to express deep levels of union across themes of biology, technology, and consciousness . Her characters are frequently involved in quiet expressive moments, or lounge facing their audience so they can share their inner space. Dittmar believes it is this space we recognize in ourselves, and through convening in that space, the interconnectedness of all things is revealed. She sees the act of spontaneous artistic creation as part of a larger practice of being present, and a way to better understand herself and reality.
