In this episode we talk with Robin Hammond about balancing impact. He explains how ideas of impact fuelled his motivation for starting Witness Change, an organisation dedicated to advancing human rights through visual storytelling. Robin describes some of the difficult ethical decisions he made as a photographer, and he emphasises the importance of talking with local people and people with experiences from the communities he is photographing in order to navigate such ethical decisions.What does photography ethics mean to Robin? “Ethics makes me think of truth, and I know that that's such a wobbly term in the world of journalism, but I think it's like trying to be authentic to the folks whose lives you're documenting. I feel like, also in the process and the way that we document, I feel very strongly that we need to be making it clear about our process as storytellers in that we need the audience to know whether an image is constructed or not … I think it's about respecting the people and the communities whose lives we're documenting.” (32:55)Links:Witness ChangePeter SingerEugene Richards

EPISODE 30: MANNERS WITH A SIDE OF AUTISM With guest Robin Hammond of Southern Hospitality Etiquette INTRO: In the 1950s, manners were taught to all children. Because of the structured ways that manners were taught and the expectation that everyone would learn them, it helped many children who were socially awkward to adapt. I want to read you a quote from our beloved Temple Grandin: “It is acceptable to be eccentric, but being rude, unkind, or not knowing how to interact with others at the basic level of “please,” “thank you,” or “excuse me” is never acceptable. Manners help people exist together and get along with each other. They will open doors that will give you a chance to express yourself, be yourself, and achieve your goals and dreams. I know from experience that this is possible. Just keep learning and trying!” Today’s guest is Robin Hammond, the owner of Southern Hospitality in Kentucky. She specializes in teaching children and adults, through etiquette classes, how to become confident, self-assured, and influential leaders in the community. Robin also became an official Autism-Friendly Certified Business. Please join me in a warm welcome. CONCLUSION: In many of her writings and face-to-face presentations, Temple Grandin repeatedly stresses one thing: autism is not an excuse for bad behavior. In a great book with a forward by Temple, they give tips for teaching manners to children with autism. The top ones are: 1. Model the good manners you are trying to teach your child. 2. Use video modeling and media as tools. Even animated characters can have good manners. 3. Define the manner in a way that is meaningful for the child. Explain to them that they are rules. Some kids don’t care or understand the “why it’s important to others”. And 4. Consider using visuals and nonverbal prompts so the child can learn to use manners independently. All in all, no matter where we call home, the basic social manners of “please,” “thank you,” or excuse me” are a universal language. As Temple says, “Just keep learning and trying.” Thanks so much for being a part of My Autism Tribe, and I’ll see you next week! ABOUT SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY ETIQUETTE: There are a few things southerners take seriously: college football, anything fried, and manners. As southern children, we are taught early on the value of writing thank-you notes, saying “please” and “thank you”, and understanding the important of proper etiquette in every situation. www.southernhospitalityinky.com

Fotografieren verboten Seit knapp zehn Jahren reist der neuseeländische Fotojournalist Robin Hammond um die Welt, um mit seiner Kamera Menschenrechtsverletzungen zu dokumentieren. Im April 2012 geriet er dabei selbst ins Visier: In Simbabwe wurde er von Sicherheitskräften des autoritär regierenden Präsidenten Robert Mugabe festgenommen, verhört und inhaftiert. Nach drei Wochen im Gefängnis kam Robin Hammond frei und wurde abgeschoben. Seine Eindrücke hat er in Text und Bild festgehalten.
