Creative Instigation: June 2015
http://creativeinstigation.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Creativity tips, creative exercises and a little Jewish mothering from Jan Sokoloff Harness. Friday, June 26, 2015. Friday Fun: Do you see what I see? And Hedy for their responses to Wednesday's post. Always fun to ask creative questions and be reminded by the answers that we all see the world differently. It's a lesson to remember. After all, our eyes don't really see. Our brains see. Our eyes just transmit the info. That's harder to disconnect. What an amazing, handy creative tool. Photography - li...

A Rolling Crone: White Slave Children of New Orleans – Why?
http://arollingcrone.blogspot.com/2012/03/white-slave-children-of-new-orleans-why.html
Friday, March 2, 2012. White Slave Children of New Orleans – Why? Yesterday when I logged on to Yahoo, my eye went straight to a “news” article titled “White Slaves Used for 1860’s Fundraiser Propaganda.”. There was a brief paragraph expanding on that title and a slideshow of sixteen photographs of well-dressed “slave children”. Who appeared to be Caucasian, posed in a photographer’s studio, sometimes wrapped in an American flag with sentiments like “Our Protection” and “Oh! My primary questions—th...

A Rolling Crone: The Scarred Back of a Slave Named Gordon
http://arollingcrone.blogspot.com/2009/10/scarred-back-of-slave-named-gordon.html
Friday, October 2, 2009. The Scarred Back of a Slave Named Gordon. On page 14 of Sept. 20’s Book Review, The New York Times. Published a shocking photograph of a slave with a horribly scarred back to illustrate a review of “Deliver Us from Evil”. Because I collect antique photos and have many dealing with slavery and the life of black people in the 1800's, I wrote to the Times the back story behind this photo, and the letter, somewhat abbreviated, is in the book review section this Sunday- Oct. 4. Showin...

A Rolling Crone: The Shocking Story Behind the White Slave Photographs
http://arollingcrone.blogspot.com/2012/03/shocking-story-behind-white-slave.html
Wednesday, March 7, 2012. The Shocking Story Behind the White Slave Photographs. In my previous post,. I discussed the recently-in-the-news photos of the “White Slave Children of New Orleans” which portrayed only white-appearing slave children, not black ones. I explained how this apparently wrong-minded and politically incorrect practice of the Abolitionists had originated nearly a decade earlier with a daguerreotype of a white-skinned little girl named Mary Botts. According to Celia Caust-Ellenbogen of...

A Rolling Crone: ALI PASHA & THE BLOODY HISTORY of IOANNINA
http://arollingcrone.blogspot.com/2015/04/ali-pasha-bloody-history-of-ioannina.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. ALI PASHA and THE BLOODY HISTORY of IOANNINA. Ali Pasha on the Lake of Ioannina. Outdoor restaurants, hammered metalwork, memorial to the Jews taken from Ioannina, the gate to the walled Turkish city. Tourists have not yet discovered this city, which is little changed from the days when Lord Byron visited the notorious tyrant Ali Pasha in the walled Turkish Kastro which still stands—its walls intact, its minarets and palaces now turned into museums. Ali’s wife was Kyria Vass...
