Bread for the bread basket: June 2008

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Bread for the bread basket. Saturday, 21 June 2008. Who is Bossy Cocks? Bossy Cocks is a pseudonym accidentally arrived at under the railway tracks of the yellow metro line 'R' on loud and proud Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, New York City. The continuous rumble of the silver trains thundered overhead and everyone on the busy thoroughfare oozed and breathed street cred. Just a couple of weeks before this, I had been in Zimbabwe.

Bread for the bread basket: Seattle is a photographer's wet dream!

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2011/03/seattle-is-photographers-wet-dream.html

Bread for the bread basket. Saturday, 26 March 2011. Seattle is a photographer's wet dream! Tucked up against Canada's southern border, coastal mountains to its east and the Pacific ocean to its west, Seattle holds the allure of adventure. Somehow the city has immortalised the excitement and prospect of wild Alaska to its north. After booking a cheap hotel on Hotwire. For my first few nights, I decided to move to a hostel for a little more atmosphere. At City Hostel. From here, and with the guidance of a...

Bread for the bread basket: Tomorrow's Promise

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-clip-is-made-for-my-son.html

Bread for the bread basket. Sunday, 27 July 2008. This clip is made for my son. It is a document of our voyage while he developed in his mother's uterus. But compiling it has been a personal journey too. Maev and I went to Zimbabwe for six months before our contract in Canada started. It was an opportunity to dip a toe into the turbulent Zimbabwean waters and to sample a much talked about life in the bush. Compiling these photos has enabled reflection with the comforting space of time. Across the way a f...

Bread for the bread basket: The value of a watch

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2009/02/value-of-watch.html

Bread for the bread basket. Saturday, 28 February 2009. The value of a watch. Golden in British Columbia is a frontier place to be. There is a rich history of the mountains here. The Swiss have guided and ironed out a path for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the aorta that links east to west in Canada. Along this line through the Canadian Rockies, Highway 1 is plotted. This railway, the paper mill and the seven-year-old Kicking Horse Mountain Resort are the main employers here. Anyway, this watch. And ther...

Bread for the bread basket: January 2011

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Bread for the bread basket. Tuesday, 25 January 2011. Jenje the Egyptian Goose. It struck me in a Skype chat with my mum today what I miss about Africa. She has this Egyptian Goose that my Old Man found as a gosling orphaned in Kariba, I think. In the absense of any kids or grandkids to love and care for my mum took on the gosling as her own. In chats over the past few months Jenje has come up in conversation. I've imagined the cat, the dogs and Jenje negotiating past each other in the kitchen. Mum, I re...

Bread for the bread basket: February 2011

http://zimbo-baker.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Bread for the bread basket. Tuesday, 22 February 2011. The uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt that have ousted long-standing dictators are inspiring. Libya's people are facing stiffer iron-fisted resistence. Of course with 41 years of rule under his belt, and the fourth longest serving non-royal leader in the planet's history, Muammar al-Gaddafi. It is ironic that the remaining longest standing current leaders in history are:. Of Yemen has ruled for 32 years and is number 14 on the list;. These men are not l...
