- Stephanie Clare's photo of 11 year old Ghulam a girl in Afghanistan sitting next to her 40 year old husband on their arranged wedding day ( as in the marriage was arranged against her wishes - not that they should really come into it anyway - your 11 year old wants to get married to anyone - you say no ) won the 2007 UNICEF photo award today at a ceremony in Berlin (Europe). Many people will remember that one of the most admired & thought provoking photographs in the late 20th century was also of an Afghani girl Sharbat Gula who at 12 years of age was photographed by Steve Mc Curry and made th egfront cover of "National Geographic" to celebrate the end of the Taliban in 1995. It moved us all to take action. The americans went into to sort it out. The rest is the history of how the Taliban came back. read full story / add a comment

The Rites of Passage religious exhibit is currently closed, which was mesmeric in it's disection of the hypnosis of world religion, if one could avoid the big screens the bits of the Nag Hammadi Gospel and huge Buddhist Mandalas were worth a visit. '100 aspects of the Moon' is the current exhibition and every single print has a bit of moon in it- on Helmets, behind women (!) and accomnpanying dark and scary warriors. You could say there are many moons.
