Soi Dogs. Doc. Thailand/London.
The Soi Dog Foundation wanted a 5min film that could be used in fundraising campaigns and to raise awareness about the plight of the street dogs of Thailand. On arrival in Thailand, the shooting producer realised a bigger story was to be told and the 60 min doc was born. Soi Dogs was Environment Films first feature length documentary and it has been broadcast on across Asia and the UK. It has raised over £10,000 at fundraising screeners across the Globe and DVD’s are being sold internationally with all proceeds going directly to the charity.
Shaniqwa Jarvis. Photographer. Londonewcastle Project Space.
Photographer Shaniqwa Jarvis (my girl!) will be exhibiting her series "This Charming Man" at the Londonewcastle Project Space from May 5th-20th. Between 2007-2010, Shaniqwa relocated from her hometown of NYC to LA and then London, documenting young men along the way and exposing the tensions between their personal and public personas. “That bit of tomboy in me, who gravitated towards a myriad of stylish and confident men in my life, naturally pointed me as a professional in a direction towards men who mirrored this image. As the images I photographed began to shape their own story, the more aware I became of the connection and innate desire to feed the voyeur in myself with “day in the life” reportage photography. ‘This Charming Man’ has enabled me to open up my subjects, my photography and myself. My hope is that it speaks to you, the viewer, as well.” – Shaniqwa Jarvis

Holstee was started by brothers Mike and Dave Radparvarhis in 2009 : We like to dream big, but understand that even the smallest decisions have big impacts. When we started Holstee our goal was to create a company that follows its heart and conscience with each and every decision (...) Ecology is more than recycled vs organic or biodegradable vs everlasting, it helps to bring into light anything and anyone impacted. As designers and curators we have the opportunity to reward organizations employing fair working conditions, using progressive materials and production procedures, and distribution methods that minimize their impact on the environment. In addition to being selective in how we curate and design, we also consider the impact once you have picked something up from our site, form shipping to sharing our success with those who could use the boost (...) Additionally, we've partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset the shipping we cannot reduce (...) 90%+ of Holstee packaging is recycled from the hangtags the shipping box you will receive (...) 10% of all sales at Holstee are used to empower entrepreneurs in the developing world through micro-lending.

Triple Rush. TV show. Travel Channel.
... part of me is embarrassed that this show exists, and I sometimes cringe watching the show... but it's addictive given all the action... it's interesting to get a taste of the New York courier system/industry.
