June Photo Challenge- A Day In My Life
The first thing I did after getting dressed was to make McDonald's run. Gotta get the day started right! : )
January 30, 2010
Good morning Ohayocon! I had a hard time waking up for my Kingdom Hearts photoshoot at 10am... When we got to the con center, we couldn't even find the group so we just wandered and took photos around. After a while, we found two cosplayers (Lea and Ienzo) from Birth By Sleep. They told me where the KH photoshoot was, and turns out, there were people still there. I got a couple pictures with a keyblade, which was soooo awesome. :3 We pretty much ran back to the hotel and took a couple more photos in the hotel lobby area, then changed into street clothes.
I showered, then frosted cupcakes for the Ohayocon Forum meet up. The introductions took up nearly an hour. Haha! There were soo many people there, it was awesome. I think I only recognized a couple people, and they were people I had already met in person. I was happy I was able to eat one of my own cupcakes. xD;;
Anna and I ran back to the hotel room to get changed into our Nature&Technology outfits. Getting dressed didn't take long, but putting the technologic (yes, Daft Punk "quote") designs on my chest and arm took forever. Oh, and face. Haha. The only non-blurry picture that was taken was by Deathcom. I only hope they'll put it online.. D: I was stupid and wore flip-flops in that picture. T___T Soooo sad. They have an awesome picture of the design I drew. I wish I had a better one on my camera. I wonder how tomorrow's design will turn out.
LAMMO was a blast! I always seem to have lots of fun. :) I took tons of pictures again, and I think I'll be taking more tomorrow. So far, I've taken over 900 pictures. xD I think there'll be more if I can get into the rave..
After LAMMO, Anna and I did a mini photoshoot around the hotel. This escalator was broken down, and I was able to use it before people started walking down it. :3 Yay. It was very cold walking back to the hotel, which is across the street.
Back to street clothes it was! We pretty much just got ready for the rave (which no one has gone to yet! >.<), and just chilled for a bit before heading back over. Zak and I went to the Johnathan Coulton (composer of "Still Alive" from Portal) concert, which was pretty fun. :3 When that ended, we split up and I went to see if I could find Youmacon people. I didn't find any, so I just joined the line for the rave for an hour before Zak came. I chatted with one of the vendors for a while, which was entertaining. Man. Long line is long.
So, here I am, typing up my day, still hoping to go to the rave, at 2am. It ends at 4am. Hope I can make it. D: Maybe I should have tried for last night's rave?

Made it to the rave! :3 I spun lots and met another spinner, which was awesome. :3 I enjoyed Youmacon's rave better actually.. This one was too small.
In Dijon for a morning walking tour of the city. We had free time at lunchtime. We arrived before 10am, and had to leave by 2pm that day.
Place de la Liberation - near the Museum of Fine Arts and the City Hall in what was originally the old Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy.
Anciennement Place Royale puis Place d'Armes
Place of the Liberation (Dijon)
The Place de la Liberation is the central square of the historic center of Dijon. It is shaped like a semicircle and opens on the palace of the Dukes of Burgundy , where it was designed to sublimate the power of the king, especially that of Louis XIV , for whom an equestrian statue was erected on this public square .
The place is thus named in reference to the liberation of Dijon , in 1944.
Old names
Place Royal Square (1692),
Place d'Armes (1792),
Place Imperiale (1804),
Place Royal
Marshal Pétain (1940)
During out guided walking tour, we were taken to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon. Which is under going restoration until 2019. It is within the Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne. The palace is also home to the Hôtel de Ville de Dijon.
Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy
The palace of the dukes and states of Burgundy in Dijon in the Côte-d'Or is an architectural ensemble with several intertwined parts: the oldest is the 14th and 15th century ducal palace, in Gothic style , And the two towers: the tower of the terrace, or Philippe le Bon tower and the tower of Bar. Most of the buildings visible today, however, were built in the 17th and especially the 18th centuries , in a classical style, with the design of the royal square, today Place de la Libération . Finally, the facade of the Museum of Fine Arts, on the Place de la Sainte-Chapelle, was erected in the 19th century on the site of the Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon destroyed in 1802 . This ensemble, in a remarkable state of conservation, testifies to almost a millennium of political life in Dijon.
The Palace was the seat of the sovereigns of the Burgundian State , the Dukes of Burgundy . Classified as historic monuments by the list of 1862 and by decree of 1926, it now houses the town hall of Dijon and the museum of fine arts of Dijon .
The Dijon Museum of Fine Arts is one of the most important, one of the most beautiful and one of the oldest museums in France. Located in the heart of the city, it occupies the former ducal palace , sits on the xv th century the Burgundian state . When the Duchy is attached to the kingdom of France, the palace became the king of the house, then turns to the xvii th century palace of the States of Burgundy , on a draft Jules Hardouin-Mansard .
Since 2006, the museum has undergone a total renovation and expansion. This project extends from 2006 to 2019 in three stages, the first of which was renovated in the Middle Ages - Renaissance, on 7 September 2013.

10AM IS WHEN YOU COME TO ME
2006
Etchings with watercolour, pencil and gouache on paper
Hands feature in many works by Bourgeois, symbolising dependency and support. Here, she has traced around her own and those of her studio assistant, Jerry Gorovoy, to create a portrait of both their working relationship and their friendship. Gorovoy worked with Bourgeois for thirty years; their days together would begin at 10am.
The title refers to the daily time of his arrival at the artist's studio, reflecting the reliability and familiarity of their shared routine. Gorovoy became an important part of Bourgeoiss life, providing company and relieving her sense of isolation.
The exhibit is part of an exhibition at Aberdeen Art Gallery of work by French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, who is widely recognised as one of the most important and influential figures of modern and contemporary art.
In a career that spanned most of the avant-garde artist movements of the 20th century, Bourgeois stayed true to her unique vision.
Her endlessly inventive work, inspired by her memories and experiences, spanned monumental installations, sculptures, fabric collages and drawings. She is perhaps best known for her large-scale spider sculptures, including one she created for the opening of Tate Modern in 2000.
This exhibition focuses on works produced during the last 20 years of her life, a period of extraordinary creativity, during which Bourgeois re-examined many of her lifelong concerns to create a body of new work exploring identity, gender, childhood, family and memory. Personal, provocative, vulnerable and raw, her work reaches us with a powerful immediacy more than a decade after her death.

We arrived at Innisfree as soon as it opened at 10AM one mid-August morning when the entire Northeastern US was in the middle of a record heatwave. Despite the heat and humidity, we were able to make a quick 1.5 mile circle on the path around the deep glacial lake at the heart of this 150 acre garden before we wilted and had to return to our air conditioned car. The harsh mid-day light made photography challenging, as you can see. We learned that Innisfree, said by some to be one of the world's Ten Great Gardens, opens at sunrise on three occasions each year, and we are already planning another trip to the Hudson River Valley in the future when we hope we can see and photograph this amazing place under better conditions.
"Like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, Innisfree helps us to define what we mean by ‘civilization’. It’s one of the few places in this world that lived up to — nay, exceeded — my expectations."
David Wheeler, Editor, Hortus (2013)
"In the late 1920s, Walter Beck and his wife, avid gardener and heiress Marion Burt Beck, began work on Innisfree, their country residence in Millbrook, New York. Walter Beck’s fascination with Asian art influenced his painting, the collecting he and his wife pursued, and their ideas on garden design. In the 1930s, Beck discovered the work of 8th-century Chinese poet, painter and garden maker Wang Wei. Studying scroll paintings of his famed garden, the Wangchuan Villa, Beck observed that Wang created carefully defined, inwardly focused gardens and garden vignettes within a larger, naturalistic landscape. Wang’s place-making technique — christened “cup gardens,” by Beck — influenced centuries of Chinese and Japanese garden design. It is also the principal design motif in the Innisfree landscape. Like his Chinese predecessor, Beck created three-dimensional pictures in the garden, incorporating both rocks from the site and horticultural advice from his wife. Unlike Wang Wei, or perhaps more familiar figures like Lawrence Johnston, who used his cup-like rooms at Hidcote in England to draw one through a sequence of events and create an overall sense of place, Beck focused more on individual compositions. Relating these to each other and to the landscape as a whole was the genius of Lester Collins."
The genius of this place lies not so much in the ideas which the designers formulated for the cup gardens, many of which are disarmingly simple, but in the way they have been maintained over the years. Essentially, everything is allowed to settle into the prevailing spirit of the place; if it does not, it is removed. It is this sensitivity, care and attention to the qualities of landscape, natural and made, that make Innisfree such a memorable success.
Tim Richardson, Great Gardens of America (2000)
Western gardens are usually designed to embrace a view of the whole. Little is hidden. The garden, like a stage set, is there in its entirety, its overall design revealed in a glance. The traditional Chinese garden is usually designed so that a view of the whole is impossible. [It] requires a stroll over serpentine, seemingly aimless arteries. The observer walks into a series of episodes, like Alice through the looking glass."
Lester Collins, Innisfree: An American Garden (1994)
