"I wanted to be a tragedienne. I only wanted sad parts. When mother read the press notices when I was on the road, saying I was a 'comedienne', the tears rolled down my cheeks. I thought comedians had to have black on their faces or red beards." -Dorothy Gish

Tribute to the great Lillian Gish
I did not know this actress, her gaze caught me and, in terms of pop portraits, I let myself drag....
A career in "silence" and "black and white"
Only in the video I could see the color of her eyes and hair, in old age, and I saw her after this elaboration of portrait "pop", otherwise I could have given her red hair and light blue eyes
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

Shot for GISH (The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt) from years past.
With GISH in full swing I thought I would share some images from the past as the current ones are not supposed to be posted yet. These events always are a fun way to shake up the normal.
This excerpt was taken from the masterful Gish Jen from the short story collection "Who's Irish." The shot is from the day of the Chinese New Year Celebration in Chicago south side in Chinatown...recently, I had a scare that I didn't have any photographs in the file folder I had labeled for the Chinese New Year celebration and I started panicking but then I found a card on my desk that had the 3,000+ photos I took. In other words, (or related news) I am a barely functioning personal hot mess. I hope you like this one.

Shot for GISH (The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt) from years past.
Shooting underwater is a lot harder than one thinks (especially with props). Our original cooler was so buoyant that we had to trade it out. This was shot with a digital camera using a empty fish tank to house the camera near the waters edge.

My inspiration for my outfit was from ancient Roman mythology, Salacia was the female divinity of the sea, worshipped as the goddess of salt water who presided over the depths of the ocean. As I kept adding the amazing pieces from Aurora Crystals Florence, then the Gish Gzel Tattoo. I then added all of the Slavia Jewelry, The Denka Diadem, the Avery Mask, Carmen Necklace, Bracelets on Legs, East Rings & Nails.

Though I didn't get to take a photograph of Lisa Ko and Thrity Umrigar, I wanted to talk about how much I enjoyed seeing them at Printer's Row Lit Fest. I can appreciate the sentiment that the sign expresses here. People of color who are artists, authors, musicians and create their own unique space in the universe don't need the approval or acceptance like white people like me or others. However, as someone who is a white woman, I greatly appreciate reading diverse perspectives and a sense of life long learning and I think, in order to acknowledge the full human story, we need to realize that we can't limit that story in any way. It should come as no surprise that women have a difficult time getting published and, if you are an immigrant or a minority, without connections and money especially, it is next to impossible. So, we must support these incredible voices. It's in our best interest as humans.
For the record, I wasn't able to take photographs of either Lisa Ko or Thirty Umrigar because they were speaking in small classrooms and I'm not the type of person to break out a huge camera and disrupt the author or the readers there to admire them.
But, I did want to write about them and support their work. I read about 130 books each year and I really want to support authors who are both female and who are Jewish, Asian, African American, Palestinian, Latina, Native American, Middle Eastern-I love reading all kinds of perspectives. Here's a list I created of contemporary American female authors I like (some were not born in America but have citizenship now and/or have been living here for many years). (I also love reading different books from women who are not American citizens) Please feel free to add your own suggestions! I am always looking for more authors to discover!
I also wanted to share how much I loved something that Thrity Umrigar said about how sharing the human story and that need is something all humans have in common and unites us all.

“She's simply terrific. She notices everything about the lighting. Three or four times this morning she'd say: ‘You know, I don't think this lighting is going to match your last shots.’ And, by God, she'd be right!” -Robert Altman
"Those little virgins, after five minutes you got sick of playing them - to make them more interesting was hard work." ~ Lillian Gish (1893-1993)
She must have been working extremely hard to make her role of Mimi in the 1926 movie "La Boheme" more interesting. Her co-star, John Gilbert, became infatuated with her and would mess up his "love scenes" with her during the filming on purpose - just so he could keep kissing her!
This is an old photograph from my personal collection.
Our favorite pizza joint was closed due to protests curfew, so we had to make due with delivery chain for this challenge.
Looking unusually come-hither, knowing her! This picture is very "Amelie"-esque, isn't it?
I love the lighting in this shot.
Created and assembled in about 4 hours by two people, a sorter and a builder (me). Mat for scale 15" x 22".
