What look like hulking, geometric structures set in barren landscapes are, in fact, two-dimensional façades constructed from card or paper, which Goudal has photographed to appear ancient yet futuristic, fantastical yet uncannily real.

Photo by @amivitale. On Valentine’s Day, I think about Kamara and his love for Kilifi who was orphaned after his mother was poached. Kilifi is an 18-month-old rhino and his keeper, Kamara is currently hand-raising along with two other baby #rhinos at #Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (@lewa_wildlife) in #Kenya. Kamara spends 12 hours every day watching over the vulnerable baby rhinos. He loves these animals like his own children and is part of the reason Kenya’s black rhinos, whose population had plummeted to near extinction, are doing so well here.
Much needed attention has been focused on the plight of wildlife and the conflict between heavily armed poachers and increasingly militarized wildlife rangers. But very little has been said about the indigenous communities on the front lines of the poaching wars and the incredible work they do to protect these animals. They hold the key to saving Africa’s great animals.See other stories of love on @natgeo’s Proof post, Picturing Love: The Stories Behind Eight Indelible Images. http://ift.tt/1MiTHzN

It employs an age-old tool — the punishment of women for their sexuality, and the suggestion that their sexuality is not only wrong, but dangerous, and responsible for their own victimisation. “Are you a woman who enjoys being sexually dominated? Well then you need our help” is what #50DollarsNot50Shades is effectively saying.
I will give $50 to victims of domestic violence because I believe in the education and social services that support them. And I will boycott Fifty Shades of Grey because, if the trailers are anything to go by, it’s bound to be a terrible film. But I won’t assign it any more power than it deserves.
