1. Learning Task

For this task, I am asked to consider three concepts if I were to photograph a series of images for a client. 

1. The main content - predominant genre

2. The overall mood/vibe of your work

3. The main contexts of your work

In what way would they want me to showcase the work I have done for them? Fashion, editorial, gallery, documentary, advertising, social/environmental etc. Does your past work reflect the contextual direction you want to take in the future? 

Introductory professional sentence introducing yourself to the viewership: 

My name is Ella Hart Guinness. I am a young woman living in Aotearoa New Zealand, as a coming-of-age portraiture photographer. The vast majority of my work is a testament to the wahine/women of my country and their stories. Like any area of my work, I am producing a high-end series of images for the local organisation “LegaSea” in honour of the rāhui around Aotearoa. A rāhui is an indigenous, Māori principle put in place to control the harvest of natural resources, and they have asked me to provide beautiful imagery to encourage all New Zealanders to respect the concept. 

Weird infected fish appear in New Zealand prompt warning

Along New Zealand‘s northeast coast there have been concerns over the occurrence of mysteriously infected fish. There have been reported spotting mushy milk-colored flesh fish along the coast. The cause of the situation is still not known but fishers warn that eating such fish could lead to health problems.

The condition was first reported in August 2022 and reports of such fish occurring have been on the rise. According to a nonprofit group LegaSea, the situation worsened this summer.

“On some fishing charter boats, there are more fish with milky flesh than without,” said Trish Rea, a fisher at LegaSea, told Newsweek.

The extent of the damage is not quantifiable at the moment. Reports of the milky fish have come from all corners of the Hauraki Gulf Marine, which ranges over 1.2 million hectares off the coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

LegaSea has been issuing reports and updates on the situation for a while now. The organization has better insight into the issue owing to its partner organization Kai Ika Project, which filet fish for recreational fishers, preserve unwanted fish parts and give them back to the local community where they are valued.

“You can only tell when you cut into them,” Rea said. “It’s most common in snapper because that is the most popular fish brought home to eat by fishers on the northeast coast…but we’re also starting to hear about the condition in other species, including kingfish and tarakihi.”

In a recent Facebook post, LegaSea said that they have received numerous inquiries about the safety of eating such fish. The organization does not advise eating infected fish, however, the government says it’s safe to eat and there haven’t been any reports of anyone getting sick from milky fish.

LegaSea says that the condition of most infected fish is not good. They are thinner than the healthy ones and seem to have stayed in a conditioned environment. This has raised questions about possible starvation and the causes of the lack of food. 

“We need to urgently find out what is turning our snapper into marshmallows and find a way to better protect them and the other species in our marine park,” Rea said.

Soooo we just premiered Legacy’s second single, and I’m so proud to be part of a group of such hardworking, dedicated people. Having about 18 moving parts is no short achievement in putting together a music video solely online, around the world, across timezones. I think it’s pretty cool, and I’m pleased to be involved in any way they let me. The girls (and Miyo) worked themselves beyond exhaustion putting this together. The art? The composition? The harmonies and arrangements? Straight fire. Song’s also on Spotify.

“Oh but what did you even do for it if you aren’t even part of the main thing the group does???”

Okay yeah true, but I wrote a companion short story that came out with it, which has taken up most of my brain power for writing lately (along with other Legacy related things that need my attention). You can catch it:

Thanks for being patient with me. I’m gonna try to do things on here, but for now you’ll have to take my reblogs and occasional rambles and deal with it. Summer is melty season and I have no AC. So please cool off with Legasea and bop to this at least once if you wanna give me peace of mind. <3

Here’s their Twitter. @LegacyIdols.

Also??? Melon worked her ass off on the PV art for the video and it’s so gorgeous and I’m so glad she shared it all. It looks so beautiful, and the girls are so soft.

Nhà đầu tư quan tâm BĐS nghỉ dưỡng mặt tiền biển

Nhà đầu tư dồn tiền vào kênh bất động sản khiến thị trường đã khan hiếm trở nên khan hiếm hơn. Đặc biệt phân khúc nghỉ dưỡng đang khởi sắc, nhà đầu tư quan tâm sản phẩm mặt tiền biển vị trí đắt giá như tại Đà Nẵng, Quảng Nam.

Lo lạm phát, bất ổn, tiền đổ vào BĐS

Từ đầu năm đến nay, sau những biến động bất ngờ của tình hình kinh tế - chính trị thế giới, tỷ lệ lạm phát có xu hướng tăng, dòng tiền tiếp tục đổ vào lĩnh vực bất động sản. Đây được xem là một phương án giúp bảo toàn dòng vốn trước rủi ro, tránh sự bất ổn định ở những kênh đầu tư khác như chứng khoán, vàng...

Theo Savills Việt Nam đánh giá, trước những biến động như chiến tranh, dịch bệnh, khủng hoảng tài chính, có 3 kênh trú ẩn tài sản lớn là dầu mỏ, kim loại quý và bất động sản.

"Khi tỷ lệ lạm phát có xu hướng tăng do những bất ổn về chiến tranh, kinh tế - chính trị thế giới, nguồn tài chính đầu tư vào bất động sản được xem là một phương án giúp bảo toàn dòng vốn trước rủi ro. Điều này giúp họ bảo toàn giá trị tài sản, đồng thời tránh sự bất ổn định ở những kênh đầu tư khác".

Đặc biệt, tại Việt Nam, trong thời gian qua, nguồn cung bất động sản vẫn rất hạn chế. Chính vì vậy, trong bối cảnh bất ổn kinh tế - chính trị thế giới, lạm phát tăng nhanh và nguồn cung khan hiếm, thị trường bất động sản được đánh giá sẽ tăng đáng kể trong thời gian tới và là kênh đầu tư giúp giảm thiểu rủi ro trong bối cảnh lạm phát.

Sự khan hiếm nguồn cung BĐS diễn ra ở hầu hết các phân khúc, đặc biệt khi du lịch bắt đầu mở cửa, ngành nghỉ dưỡng tăng tốc trở thành kênh đầu tư hấp dẫn hàng đầu đồng nghĩa nguồn cung BĐS nghỉ dưỡng ở trong tình trạng thu hút mạnh mẽ nhờ tiềm năng tăng giá và tính thanh khoản cao.

Nhà đầu tư quan tâm sản phẩm mới

Ông Đặng Quốc Đạt, nhà đầu tư có hơn 10 năm kinh nghiệm với thị trường nghỉ dưỡng Đà Nẵng – Quảng Nam cho biết, sản phẩm mới xuất hiện tại khu vực hiện chỉ "đếm trên đầu ngón tay" trong khi hầu hết các sản phẩm có chất lượng tốt, được triển khai ở những vị trí đắc địa, đặc biệt là chạy dọc mặt tiền biển Đà Nẵng, Quảng Nam đã được giới đầu tư chạy đua sở hữu từ trước đó. Hiện các dự án sở hữu pháp lý vững chắc, vị trí tiềm năng khai thác, có tiến độ xây dựng tốt cũng đang được các nhà đầu tư tranh giành sở hữu.

Đặc biệt, khi khách quốc tế "đổ bộ" Việt Nam sau giai đoạn dịch bệnh, du lịch nội địa tăng tốc vô cùng mạnh mẽ chính là "bảo chứng" để các nhà đầu tư ráo riết tìm kiếm sản phẩm BĐS nghỉ dưỡng.

Ông Đặng Quốc Đạt cho rằng, quỹ đất mặt biển tại những "vị trí vàng" dọc cung đường từ Đà Nẵng đi Quảng Nam hiện còn rất ít. Ông Đạt lấy ví dụ, hiện mới nhất và đang ra hàng có 69 căn biệt thự LegaSea Villas mang phong cách "thiên đường nghỉ dưỡng 5 sao" thuộc dự án Shantira Beach Resort & Spa rộng 8,6ha và đặc biệt ôm trọn hơn 1,5ha mặt biển riêng, đây là vị trí đắt giá tại mặt biển An Bàng.

Shantira Beach Resort & Spa chỉ cách sân bay quốc tế Đà Nẵng 30 phút lái xe, nằm trên tuyến đường ven biển đẹp bậc nhất khu vực. Với toạ độ vàng khám phá, thăm quan với rất nhiều kỳ quan bao bọc: 5 phút đến Phố cổ Hội An, 1 giờ đến Thánh địa Mỹ Sơn, 20 phút tới Đà Nẵng, 2 giờ tới Huế… thuộc cung đường thăm quan, thám hiểm Huế - Quảng Bình nên ngay khi xuất hiện đã tạo ra sức hút đầu tư tại khu vực.

Để nhanh chóng đón sóng nghỉ dưỡng, tiến độ xây dựng dự án cũng đang được đẩy nhanh, dự kiến cuối năm nay có thể đi vào hoạt động. Đây chính là lý do thuyết phục nhà đầu tư an tâm xuống tiền vì khả năng khai thác dòng tiền trong tương lai gần.

Thêm vào đó, dự án được phát triển bởi Tập đoàn Royal Capital Group có 23 năm uy tín, kinh nghiệm cung cấp sản phẩm nghỉ dưỡng cao cấp tại Hội An. Hơn nữa, Royal Capital Group cũng đã và đang đầu hàng loạt dự án tầm cỡ như Royal Hoi An - MGallery, Royal Riverside Hoi an, Royal River Suite Hoi An,… với lượng khách hàng lưu trú nội địa và quốc tế rất lớn. Bên cạnh đó, Shantira LegaSea Villas còn được vận hành bởi Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, tập đoàn quản lý khách sạn chuyên nghiệp đang vận hành hơn 9300 khách sạn và khu nghỉ dưỡng ở 90 quốc gia trải dài khắp 6 châu lục nhằm đảm bảo một chất lượng mang tiêu chuẩn quốc tế.

Giữa bối cảnh BĐS nghỉ dưỡng tại Đà Nẵng, Quảng Nam gần như "ngủ đông" suốt 2 năm qua, vừa mới tỉnh dậy. Sự xuất hiện của sản phẩm biệt thự nghỉ dưỡng Shantira LegaSea Villas chính là cơ hội kim cương để nhà đầu tư sở hữu BĐS mặt biển với mức giá tốt, trước khi thị trường tăng trưởng, thiết lập mặt bằng giá mới.

Changing Methods of Production

This week’s chapters offer the different methods we, humans, sustain ourselves, and how we have invented new technologies to make this job easier. However, we see clearly throughout the reading that this is not always a positive thing. To start, we see aquatic ecosystems such as the oceans and wetlands and their importance. They provide numerous benefits for us and the environment like: 300 million jobs, natural barriers, absorb 90% of the CO2 human activities emit, and with this they help slow climate change and atmospheric warming (Miller and Spoolman 233). The earth is mostly water, in fact 71% of it is, so we have to be able to manage it in a sustainable way. Furthermore, bodies of water provide us with a great amount of food for those who live near and far from coasts. We will look at both aquatic and terrestrial methods of agriculture, and how we can change from practices that are harmful to both the environment and the economy. 

Since the 1990s there has been increased acidification, temperatures, and sea levels. All of these affect species’ habitats like coral reefs and our sources of seafood protein. This could worsen world hunger with the death of aquatic species and will contribute greatly to climate change (234). Some of the causes of these increases are: pollution from human activities in land that end up in the oceans, runoff that contains high levels of nutrients from fertilizers, and soil erosion (237). Additionally, aquatic ecosystems and their biodiversity are being affected by our methods of fishing, and more specifically overfishing. With the use of big nets, long line fishing, among others there is a lot of bycatch. This means fish that were not intended to be caught. When they are caught accidentally many of them are thrown back into the ocean dead or dying. This will further affect farmers that rely on fishing because it will create commercial extinction - when it will no longer be profitable to harvest the species they usually do (239). It is not only oceans that are affected by our activities, but also wetlands. We have lost “more than half of coastal and inland wetlands in the US since 1900” and even more in other countries like China, New Zealand, and Italy (250). To prevent and minimize the harmful effects we have imposed on these ecosystems there has to be governmental action as the basis of fighting against this.

(LegaSea)

The government has a lot of power over what areas are marine reserves and therefore protected from fisheries. The creation of more of these areas will help the species adapt to the increasing temperatures and acidification, and repopulate to the normal level they were before such rapid depletion (256). Even though it is difficult to monitor many of these fishing techniques because in the open ocean they are not held by a legal jurisdiction, we can still create new methods of fishing that are more sustainable (246). Other solutions include: fishery regulations; consumer information; allow escape of smaller fish, sea birds, and sea turtles in nets; and initiate worldwide ecological restoration programs (257).

Furthermore, our methods of food production are resulting harmful towards the future of the environment and its species. There is a surplus of food production that is being done in an unsustainable way, and yet one in nine people in the world face food insecurity (261). With the increase in the world population comes more food necessity. Industrialized agriculture, plantation agriculture, and traditional agriculture are based on methods that require a lot of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and methods of farming animals (like CAFOs) that are harmful to the environment (265). Some harmful effects posed by food production are: biodiversity loss, water depletion and pollution, air pollution, and diminished human health with bacterial contamination and pesticide residues (272). The appealing side of these harmful methods is that they are cheaper than organic production, increase food supplies, reduce the costs for farmers, and it is done fast (282). However, there are ways to move away from this and still yield crops and other food sources.

To improve food security and produce food more sustainably and efficiently we can: turn to organic fertilizers like green manure, improve soil conservation, resort to Integrated Pest Management (IPM), apply efficient irrigation, subsidize sustainable agriculture (286), and most importantly increase and demand government action and private programs that help people with food insecurity (294). “33% of the world’s food is lost or wasted” and to move away from this statistic we can individually buy more locally produced food and buy from organic and sustainable companies (296). 

My evaluation of these readings is that we have to clearly move away from our current food production methods, aquatic and terrestrial. There are plenty of ways to do this in a way that will not take away jobs and continue to benefit the economy. If we work locally for the government to enforce regulations and create reserves and personally buy consciously, then we can really change the way food is viewed and made. There is so much food being wasted but there is a large amount of famine and hunger around the world. This is not fair, and as decent human beings we should work to change this. Technological advances have come a long way through crossbreeding and genetically modified organisms. This can work in everyone’s advantage if proceed with caution. With funding and directing the money we spend to good causes and sustainable practices we can still sustain ourselves comfortably while simultaneously decreasing environmental effects. 

Question: Where does all the wasted food go? And why are we producing so much food that is not being consumed?
