Last Saturday (8/6) was Farmworker Appreciation day. In honor of the day, I am sharing some images by Pirkle Jones, Dorothea Lange and the final image by Ansel Adams.
Farmworker Appreciation Day was created to be a moment of action and appreciation for these workers and to raise awareness of the issues they face every year. Farmworkers help keep the world fed and work what is considered to be one of the most dangerous jobs in the first world, and yet they are often not protected by the same laws that protect other workers. This is due in part to their seasonal status and their tendency to be immigrant workers who return to their home country after the harvest is complete.

In honor of National Lighthouse Day, sharing some images by Tim Barnwell from his project documenting Georgia and Carolina Coastal Regions.
Lighthouses represent a piece of history. They have comforted travelers for centuries, guiding them and keeping them safe. They also add to some of the most scenic and majestic views. If you have ever visited a lighthouse before, you will know the stability and serenity they bring to the area. While time has progressed and technology has changed, lighthouses remind us of some of the difficult voyages people went on in the past. They provided hope to those looking for land while tackling the dark nights and stormy seas. So, it is only right that we celebrate them on National Lighthouse Day.
Lighthouses shown in this sequence are from St. Simons Island, GA (3), Tybee Island, GA and Hunting Island in SC.

The first Friday in August is International Beer Day. To celebrate the occasion, here is a photograph by Mario DiGirolamo of a man lost in thought at a London pub.
History of International Beer Day
Originally started in the United States, in Santa Cruz, California to be exact, Beer Day was begun with the purpose of celebrating the craft of brewing. And it was also created with the intention of showing appreciation for those involved in the making of beer. The day then quickly expanded to include celebrations of bartenders and other beer technicians as well.
Not only did Beer Day expand in scope, but in size as well. It quickly began gaining international recognition and following within only one short year. In between 2007 when it was started in Santa Cruz, and where it currently is no– celebrated in 207 cities, 50 countries and on 6 continents all across the gl#lumieregallerya#mariodigirolamor#InternationalBeerDaye#beerdaye#happyfridayfriday
