Patience Hodgson, lead singer of the Australian band The Grates, grew up with a large, rare port wine stain birthmark, otherwise known as Klippel Trenaway Sydrome, covering half of her upper body.
“I love my birthmark’s spectrum of colour. When I’m warm it’s a kind of red-purple, like the colour of some plums and when I’m cold it’s a vivid, almost neon blue. I also like how it’s a kind of protective barrier protecting me against non-accepting and unthoughtful people.”

Ugh Patience is seriously the best person ever.

This plant is called “makahiya”; in Tagalog, ‘hiya’ means shy.
Upon being touched, this plant’s leaves immediately fold up together as if the plant is shy (hence its name).

Dear Scarlet,
This is an outtake from my shoot with Brooke for her contest. You in your natural state. We didn’t dress her you and take you out to take pictures, you just happened to want to wear that hat and Brooke’s jacket and were drinking a rootbeer. You are the very best.

In his series of carefully composed black-and-white images that make up “La Famille”, the French photographer Alain Laboile has captured a sense of youthful freedom through the exploits of his six children.
Mr. Laboile publishes his photos in serial form, sharing them with the world from the user name “lab oil” on Flickr. They are simple, beautiful moments.
A sculptor by trade, Mr. Laboile bought a small digital camera to photograph his work in 2004. He became interested in macro photography and later began documenting the children: Four girls — Olyana, now 16; Luna, 14; Dune, 5; and Nil, 4 — and two boys — Merlin, 12, and Eliott, 18, a student who now lives in Bordeaux.
