lickypickystickyme:

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like "You need to eat!"

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti's grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.  

"In that occasion I said to my grandma 'You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks," Galimberti wrote via email. "I'm going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don't have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!' This is the way my project was born!"

The project, "Delicatessen With Love", took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people's houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Drew a version of this a while ago for my psychology teacher to hang in his classroom. The way people so often misinterpret legitimate mental disorders is probably one of my biggest pet peeves.

"My feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world."

- Dejan Stojanovic (via stay-ocean-minded)

wouldn't it be nice?

wouldn't it be nice if one of the most important people in your life appreciated and respected whatever person you most wanted to become, without conditions and restrictions? the ultimate realization that 1) what is expected of you will inevitably stop you from living the life you imagined for yourself, 2) that you don't have the courage to end it, and 3) that you possibly won't even want to give up this safety net that may or may not be a lie.

Finca Bellavista by Erica and Matt Hogan

An off-the-grid, self-sustaining tree house community nestled into a 600 acre plot in the rain forests of Costa Rica. With the nearest town being roughly 2 miles away, this unique village is set-up to survive without constant contact to the outside world.
