My daughter with the photography degree loves this, it doesn't work with most of my shots, but I thought this was okay for a first attempt at post processing fake tilt shift. Hope you like it kiddo!

Il 30 settembre di 22 anni fa i Simply Red pubblicavano "Stars".
In quell'album c'era anche questo capolavoro di dolcezza
Testo
You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller-coastering
Anyway the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in the hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
You know I'd do most anything you want
Everyday I, I try to give you everything you need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
My dear friend Amber and I had been talking about this concept for a while and when we both had the time to get together we created a short series of images of this woman at her own burial. This is the first of that series, I'll be posting more soon!

For her blocks in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Joanna sent us either green or blue fabrics plus some grey and white. She asked for geometric, non-wonky, non-pinwheel blocks and noted that she loved paper-pieced stars.
I love paper piecing so it was an easy choice. This block is from a quilt pattern called Millennium Compass on eQuiltPatterns. I used the two green fabrics that were sent and added in two of my own, each slightly darker than the ones sent.

Three clouds for three cows...
When I jumped off from the wood pile, after shooting a self portrait (see below), I realised I had three fans waiting for me!! :D
Have a great weekend!
Aspettandomi...!
Tre nuvole per tre mucche...
Quando sono saltato giù dal cumulo di legname, una volta scattato un autoritratto (vedi sotto), mi sono accorto che c'erano delle ammiratrici ad aspettarmi!! :D
Buon weekend!
With hope that the process for an independent Catalonia can continue without any big conflict with the rest of Spain.
There is also a part of Catalonia to be found in south of France where the demand for liberty versus the French government is just not as strong as it is South of the Pyrenees.
Here some info from my blog about Catalonia:
There is presently a strong wish amongst the Catalans in Spain to become a new independent state in Europe, totally free from Spain.
The Catlans is not only present in North of Spain but also in the Southern part of France in the region Languedoc-Rousillon there are many Catalans living - even if they do not claim to be independent in the same way that they do in Spain. The photo above is from a Catalan dance group situated in Perpignan, France as they perform in the village Collioure by the foots of the Pyrenees and the shore of the Mediterranean in France.
Catalonia is a region situated in the North of Spain and the very South of France. As we have an apartment in South of France, we are well aware of the strong bounds that exists in the region from the Catalans and this gave the idea to build a little album with photos from our tours and stay in Catalonia of today.
This album was published under a tour in May 2014 - and will develop accordingly with our travels in Catalonia - France and Spain.
From the history of Catalonia:
In 711, the Moors crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and swept through the Iberian Peninsula. They captured Barcelona in 717 and then crossed the Pyrenees and went as far as Poitiers before being checked by the Franks. In desperation the inhabitants of what was to become Catalonia turned to Charlemagne, the powerful Frankish leader for help in return for pledging allegiance to the Carolingian Empire. Girona was retaken in 785 and Barcelona in 801, and the province of the Spanish March, a buffer zone between Christian France and Muslim Hispania, was born.
The Spanish March was governed by local counts, who had political and judicial functions but were ultimately responsible to the Frankish king and were appointed and could be dismissed by him. The most powerful of these counts was Guifre el Pelós who managed to unite the counties of Urgell, Cerdanya, Girona and Barcelona, and so controlled a swathe of land that stretched from Barcelona to Perpignan along the coast and inland to the Pyrenees. It was Guifre’s son, Guifre Borrell, who became the first hereditary ruler of Catalunya Vella, Old Catalonia. The next step on the road to nationhood came in 985 when the Moors, under Al-Mansour, managed to cross the River Llobregat and sack Barcelona. Having received no military support from the Franks, Count Borrell II declared independence, and although not recognised by the Franks until 1258, an independent state called Catalonia was born.
The next two centuries were spent consolidating their territory and pushing the Moors south towards the Ebro, and in 1137 Count Ramon Berenguer IV married Petronella, the infant daughter of the King of Aragon. His son, Alfons I, became the ruler of the most powerful state in Southern Europe, the Catalan-Aragonese Confederation, which consisted of Catalonia, Aragon and the whole of the south of France. With considerable help from the Knights Templar, the Moorish threat became a thing of the past.
My Grandma, Thelma Burk, died this morning. She was exactly 1 month away from her 99th birthday. She was one of the classiest ladies I ever knew. And while age stole her memory, nothing will ever steal my memory of her. She taught me a great deal about grace and beauty and her heart of love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was inspiring. See you soon, Grandma, when we meet again in the presence of Christ. I love you.
We have all seen the recent TV coverage of Morocco post the earthquake. Seeing sites that I have visited, in particular specific buildings really brings home the terrible nature of this event. I must admit that the people of Morocco whether in Marrakech or in the Atlas Mountains came across as being happy, friendly and helpful. Let’s hope our world remembers these attributes as Morocco starts their recovery from this natural disaster. This view is the exact same one that the BBC used this morning and shows part of the Jemma El-Fna and the Koutoubia. Both received some degree of damage. This picture goes back to a mountain climbing trip I had in 2006 and shows a scene that everyone will want to get back to.

I wanted to experiment taking a self portrait with my old olympus zuikio prime 50mm f/1.8. Using the wifi Canon EOS App for the Canon 6d, I MANUALLY focused on my face while looking at my phone!
While these were test shots using nice window light, I really like how these came out!
In post processing, I wanted to achieve a style that I really admire. I was inspired by Eduardoizq on flickr! I love his work and I wanted to try editing a photo with low saturation.
Post Processing: Minor editing achieved in Lightroom 5.2 and Photoshop CS6.
This is for my new project: Daily Drawigs.
I want to draw more and be more creative again. I mean, I did study illustration after all! And I'm a bit sick of taking selfportraits lately (and since that's all I do, there's not much left ;)) so a new project was very welcome!
I'm not sure yet if I want to become an illustrator or photographer (probably both) but it's always good to be working at both!
I drew the bird reaaally quick because I was in the studio quiet late and the sun was already setting!
AND I KNOW, ME AND MY JARS! sigh. I always use the same one. <3 this jar haha.
Here she is, Maria... just a quick iPhone shot of my latest Christie in the 'Intrigue' that used to be on my blonde Hair Fair.... Her hair was an absolute mess (I got her in a very cheap lot that included one item I HAD to have- the feathery hat to Julia's 'Candlelight Capers' ... I have been hunting for that damn hat to complete my outfit for THREE YEARS!!!) ...but after a TONNE of gel, hairspray and several attempts with Barbie-sized curlers, I think I've finally tamed it... I even discovered a thatched side-part that my other TNT Christie doesn't have! There is sadly no room for her in the Barbie Family House at the moment so she is sitting on top of it, surveying all the action!

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Have a happy and healthy year 2008, dear flickr friends! Thanks for all of you who stopped by in the past few days!

I am thinking of uploading more food shots specially this winter season so expect to see more food photos in my stream. Still struggling with styling and presentation but hopefully it will get better.
I used 2 light sources for this shot. One placed at the back and the other one in the front to serve as fill flash.
Sorry to miss your streams lately but I will be catching up over the weekend so please bear with me. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
