“What about the batteries?” I asked - Volvo uses #blockchain technology to track and trace the cobalt it obtains and uses in its electric vehicle batteries, to make the most sustainable choices.
That’s when I fell in love !
This baby is the S60 hybrid car — hybrid meaning it runs on electric and petrol. Running on hybrid reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The batteries are also charged kinetically! During gentle braking with the brake pedal, the car's kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
Across the next six months I’ll be sharing with you my journey with Volvo. If you have any questions drop them below and I’ll try to answer them in the comments or in my next posts!
(Btw did you know that bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. This makes it particularly suitable as a tool for carbon sequestration (absorbing carbon) compared to other trees, and as a result, has a high ability to mitigate climate change - source: INBAR/ UNEP)

To Our Leica Family,
Here at Leica, our philosophy can be summarized in two words: Das Wesentliche - a focus on the essentials. As we navigate through these challenging times which impact how we see and interact with our world, we are reminded of the true meaning of our ethos, a focus on what is truly essential - the health and well-being of our community. As such, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our stores and galleries across the country to do our part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As of March 20th, we will also temporarily close our Customer Care Service Center, Online Store, and our Corporate Offices.
Our Leica Akademie workshops, Leica Gallery openings and Leica Store events scheduled through May 5, 2020 are postponed. We are reassessing dates as needed based on the most current information and will keep you informed of updates via our social media channels and our website.
While we shift our adventures to the landscape of our imagination, we at Leica remain at your service to answer questions, exchange visual stories, and provide you with inspiration to support your passion for photography.
Even from a distance, we are connected:

During a time where we limiting our in-person interactions, we are also expanding the depth of our imagination, creativity and our emotional connections. With this, I am reminded of the words of Alfred Eisenstaedt, “It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.” Das Wesentliche.
We look forward to welcoming you back into our stores, seeing you at our events, and engaging with you at our workshops. Until then, be well.
With Kind Regards,
Roger Horn
President, Leica Camera Inc.

SYMBIOSIS 〰️ Throughout times, human’s footprint and use of natural resources has increased to the point where we now use half of the planet’s ice free land while the rest remains untouched simply because it cannot be used. Though it may not be our intention, it is human nature to continuously seek ways to mitigate life’s problems and instant gratification resulting in careless and unmindful uses of the planet’s resources. We have been living as creatures of comfort for centuries without thinking twice about the consequences of our actions and now we are faced with the ever more present damage we have caused to the earth, climate change.
Are we heading towards an extinction where we are the creator?
Symbiosis derives from two Greek words meaning “with" and "living." It describes a close relationship between two organisms from different species. It is sometimes, but not always, beneficial to both parties.
Our relationship to the earth can be categorized as parasitism more than mutualism. Parasitism is when one organism benefits from the relationship but at the expense of the other while on the other hand, mutualism is a close relationship where both parties benefit and many are long-lasting.As humans, I hope we can realize that it is our responsibility to restore our ecological system with a more sustainable practice of living and using resources in harmony with nature without exhausting it.
Symbiosis explores the relationship between human and nature through a personal performance where my breathe affects the mechanic control causing the paint brush to move. The movement of the brush represents human action towards nature represented by the water lettuces floating in a contained pool. The brush although causes ripples and movement in the water, the surfaces returns to its original state after it passes. Through visual presentation and the act of placing myself into the situation with control, I attempt to showcase a mutualist coexistent, a future in which I hope for the planet earth and humanity.
