If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

I traveled for one month around California and I swear I saw the most breathtaking landscapes. It was a great experience to explorer new places, to try the local food and to meet new people. I got lucky enough to grab a few stills and I’m still working on a video.
HOME
gorgeous.

For those of you saying you’ve lost faith in humanity. There is still so much good in this world.

| Pastor: | Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin. |
| Couple of older males in the audience: | Amen! |
| Pastor: | Now, wait, I'm not finished. |
| Pastor: | You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce. |
| -uncomfortable silence- | |
| Pastor: | There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned. |
| Pastor: | Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce. |
| Pastor: | We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel. |
| Pastor: | The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know. |
| -the pastor shifts a few notes around- | |
| Pastor: | The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage. |
| Pastor: | So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way. |
