I nagged the person in Roanoke to make sure there will be people for the shoot. It is going to be five hours to get there, five hours to go home, I don't want to do that for one or two people.


So she asked and asked them to think about what makes them feel happy and beautiful.


Cool news - one of the folks I will photograph Saturday said, “Happiness is feeling at harmony with the universe and myself. I would like to embody light by letting myself shine.” I immediately thought UV body paint and black lights and shared two pictures. Model said, “YASSSSSSSS!!!”

Hungary has a president and a Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is pro-Kremlin. President Katali Novak visited with Zelensky in Kyiv. The Prime Minister has been pissing off the EU by undermining western sanctions. He tried to block aid to Ukraine, refused to supply arms, and kept saying Ukraine is doomed. Novak doesn't set foreign policy and has a largely ceremonial role, but it is a start. 

Ukraine continues to fight corruption. They have a new portal where whistleblowers can report people and possibly be rewarded with 10% of the proceeds of the case. They collaborated with the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative and it will launch in September. Fighting corruption is necessary to join the EU. 

There is a suspicion that Putin uses body doubles. It doesn't seem far-fetched to me. There is a video that seems to show him forgetting which wrist he wears his watch on. He wears it on his right hand. There is video of him trying to look at the time on his left hand.
