[close] A discussion around street photography with great books as the reference point. Street photography speaks to the human condition, and every one of us have a different view of what it is, and can be. I'm hoping that every street photographer will, in seeing the work of others, find a refreshing new view for their critical eye. These great books that are historical references, I believe, can make us better at our craft. For me, street photography covers a broad spectrum of photography, that also embraces architectural landscape, photojournalism, and humanist photography. We each envision different styles of street in our own mind. I'm hoping that each of us can offer their own ideas around the subject 'street photography'. Once a small group is established, I'm hoping that we can occasionally review some of these books together.

[close] Group for discussion about Secular Humanism. Generally for those who either are Secular Humanists, or those who want to know about it. Support for info & books about Secular Humanism. Not for religious people to slam or otherwise put down. Non-religious (secular) morals & ethics derive from conscience and observation of the world in terms of reality ("let your conscience be your guide"). Ethics are preferred to synthesized morals and are practical, and work realistically. Science confirms reality and the real world around us and helps better explain and define it. "Secular" denotes "without and free of religion" as the U.S. government is supposed to be (see Separation Of Church And State). "Humanist" denotes being human, a member of humanity, and support of and by fellow human beings; i.e. social cooperation of and by equals. Also, being free of bias, prejudice and racism; but being a rational, reasoning, and objective person.

[close] I am a self-published author of children's books. I mainly focus on books for children being raised in a freethinking or atheist household. My first book "It Is Ok To Be A Godless Me" was written for those kids who are being raised in a house without religion. It can be tough when they are around friends or family who talk about god or religion and I wanted them to know it is ok not to believe. My second book, "I'm A Little Thinker", was designed for those freethinkers who want to start exploring science and have so many questions. My 3rd book is called "Please Don't Pick On Me." While this book is not about religion or non-religion, bullying is a serious issue that affects many children. This book focuses on the ages of 4 - 9 and it talks about name calling (where the bullying starts). I developed this page to get conversations going on my works, but also about how children are affected by religion.
