“Often she had seemed to herself to be moving among those vanished figures of old books and pictures, an invisible ghost among the living, better acquainted with them than with her own friends. She very nearly lost consciousness that she was a separate being, with a future of her own.”

Fred and Friends is known for innovation, and this time they’ve turned a basic kitchen tool in to a pleasant piece of functional decor. The Fill-a-Lily Funnel is exactly what it sounds like – a flexible kitchen funnel in the shape of a beautiful white lily.
“You need to be content with small steps. That’s all life is. Small steps that you take every day so when you look back down the road it all adds up and you know you covered some distance. It took me a long time to accept that, but it’s true. You need to have patience.”

“I find it interesting that if terrorists put a chemical in the food supply that killed a million people, it would be called a great crime against humanity, and we’d probably bomb some nation into dust in retaliation. But when a U.S. food corporation puts chemical additives into the food that ultimately kill a million people through heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes, nobody seems to notice.”
Rui Palha. Street Moments.
Photographer Rui Palha’s black and white portfolio of Street Moments takes you on a journey into an inspirational new world. Palha believes that photography is the practice of being in the streets, of learning and capturing, giving flow to what the heart feels. He says, “Why black and white? Because if you are photographing in color you show the color of the clothes. If you use black and white you will show the color of the soul.”
In his book called Street Photography, Palha tells the stories of his everyday experiences along the streets of Lisbon. In the book, he references a very significant photojournalist when he writes, “A very special [Robert] Capa quote that I try to follow in photography: ‘If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.’” By devoting himself to photography, Palha has turned his once hobby into a lifetime of passionate photographs.
