“Up Close” is a collection of photographs that features the exceptional talent of four photographers whose images capture people, places and events with candid intimacy. “Up Close” traces the significant legacy of Australian photographer Carol Jerrems alongside that of contemporary artists Larry Clark, Nan Goldin and William Yang.
The collection takes its inspiration from the way each artist candidly depicts a social milieu and urban life of the 1970s and early 1980s. Sharing an interest in sub-cultural groups and individuals on the margins of society, each artist reveals a remarkable capacity to provide an empathetic glimpse into semi-private worlds through intimate depictions of people and their surroundings.
Jerrems’ photography was associated with a feminist and political imperative, a preoccupation with subcultures, forgotten and dispossessed groups, especially Aboriginal communities of the time. Larry Clark unflinchingly turned the camera onto himself and his amphetamine-shooting coterie to produce “Tulsa” (1971), a series of photographs repeatedly cited for its raw depiction of marginalized youth. With its grainy shot-from-the-hip style, “Tulsa” exposes a world of sex, death, violence, anxiety and boredom capturing the aimlessness and ennui of teenagers.
Larry Clark's influenced Nan Goldin and a generation of artists who aspired to break with the more traditional documentary modes. Mining the emotional depths of her friends, lovers and family, Goldin's work reveals a riveting intimacy while uncovering the bohemian life of New York’s Lower East Side. Goldin says, “I was documenting my life. It comes directly from the snapshot, which is always about love.”
William Yang’s photographs from the 1970s further the snapshot aesthetic through journeying into the intimate world of his particular social milieu: drag queens, Sydney gay and inner-city culture. Yang’s direct, unpretentious photographs provide a unique chronicle of marginalised groups especially as he put it: “…people who are gay, who were invisible, who were too scared to come out. During gay liberation people became visible, people became politicized, and there was a Mardi Gras that was a symbol of the movement.”
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, a remarkable slide show and two documentary short films.

“Us” is an award winning, thought-provoking short film directed by James Blick that explores issues of trust and intimacy, showing us how fragile those things are. In all of our relationships, we make choices that are sometimes right and sometimes wrong, but always with consequences.
In “Us”, a series of flashbacks captures a woman’s memories of her former lover. They trusted each other, and everything else depended upon that. But what happens when trust is broken, and loving relationships can no longer be sustained? When we end up left all alone, are we destined to live with our regrets through a forsaken life of melancholy reminiscence?
This piece includes color photographs, as well as the very engaging short film, “Us.”

I Am My Beloved's: Jewish-American Couples Talk About Their Marriages is a work in progress that aspires to become a collection of 30 interviews of Jewish North American couples who discuss, intimately and honestly, their relationships, their spirituality, and how the two intersect. Their voices are poignant, sometimes humorous, often profound.

It will probably come as quite a surprise to both men and women that nagging isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nagging can actually be good for your relationship. The main problem lies in the way we think of 'nagging,' as something annoying and negative. It has its uses, and can help cement your relationship and even make it stronger. Here are some ways nagging can improve your relationship:
* It Shows That You Care. Nagging someone to pick up after themselves, to repair the leaky faucet or to finally sign up for that class you've been raving about tells your partner that you care. The more attention to details about you, the more they're thinking about you. It also helps with improving the quality of the atmosphere in your home- a tidy, kept up home and mind are a source of security. It's better that someone nags you than doesn't notice at all.
* It Opens Communication. Nagging can also be good for your relationship by opening up communication. It could be a form of affection, or a gateway into dealing with other problems in the relationship. Some relationships need nagging to start a difficult conversation, others have a hard time expressing emotions and use nagging as a tool to let you know how they feel.It will probably come as quite a surprise to both men and women that nagging... more

As many as one in five British couples sleep in separate beds.
According to a recent survey, snoring, tossing and turning, and talking in your sleep were cited as the main irritants, with ever more stressful careers and lives that demand a good night's rest making us increasingly reluctant to put up with them.
Laura and Colin, both 28, are engaged and have been living together for 5 years and sleeping separately for 4. For them, sleeping apart works and they say they're looking forward to a happy marriage in different beds. Colin says, "We've just had to accept that we are not sleep compatible and make a rational decision about it. I really don't care what other people think - this works for us."
Would you sleep apart from your partner if it meant getting a good night's sleep? Do you think sleeping apart kills intimacy? Does "sleep compatibility" make or break a relationship?As many as one in five British couples sleep in separate beds.

Sexperience offers a wide range of videos that give real personal experiences of sexual issues and problems, as well as providing frank advice. The videos cover a broad variety of topics from when people lost their virginity to threesomes.
Britain has the worst STD rate among young people and the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe, so we really need to start talking about sex more openly.
