If I were Karsh, and he were Pablo Casals, this would have been a great photo.
The photo wasn't mirrored, he was a left-handed cellist - so I assume he would have to reverse the order of his strings too. I'm afraid I don't know his name.

Started as left and right handed together, but after the first 10 minutes, converted to strictly left-handed with right-handed erasing.
120 minutes... so far.
First day is brownish color.
Second day is purplish color.
Third day is greenish color.
I'm trying to pick colors that are the same value, so the piece will be cohesive at the end, yet have a visual trail of how it was constructed.
To me it now looks more unfinished than it did on the first two days... isn't that funny?

I wanna be a Hippie ;)
Janis Joplin. She touches me right in my heart and soul. I love her music since I was about 16/17 years old. This long haired rock'n roll guy who played the lefthanded guitar perfectly who I had a big crush on acquainted her to me. And ever since she's been on the soundtrack of my life. Together with Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Jewel. Gifted women in my eyes.
I especially love 'Maybe'. It's so good!
I'm not that kind of person who looks up the background of a singer/band I like. I know about Janis her death and a little about her life. I know that she played with different bands. But that's about it. I know that I have different versions of 'Maybe' on cd, and I think with different bands, but I'm not sure. There's one I like best, but don't ask me with which band she played that, 'cause I don't have a clue. I don't think it's important, 'cause it's the music that counts for me. There's a well known 'music guru' here in Holland, who knows about everything about music and I once met him when I was 19 and he said he liked my taste of music. Funny thing was that I was a bit 'fan' of him, so for me saying that he liked my taste of music was a BIG thing :P
Music has always been my number one most important thing in life. These women mentioned here above have done so so so much for me. They helped me through so many hard times.
And I always wanted to be a hippie back in the 60's and see Janis at woodstock :)
I do listen to lots of other bands, but these women are gonna be there always. On the soundtrack of my life.
What about yours? Who are on it? And please, leave a youtube url or something of your favorite song/singer/band behind in the comments so I can check them out :)

My Daily Shoot contribution today was kind of lame, but shooting it reminded me most markers, pens, and pencils with text on their barrels are designed for right-handed people. The text is upside-down for us left-handers.
That observation inspired this photo. How many of you were taught to hold a marker or pen or pencil this way? Probably no one. We left-handers have to create our own style.
This was the first electric guitar I owned. It's a 15 year old Vesta telecaster I purchased new when I was around 17. As you can see from the modified tetecaster shape, it was forcibly left-handified with a hacksaw and a chisel. It still works surprisingly well.
This shot was lit by bouncing a 3/4 CTO gelled SB-28 flash off the opposite hallway wall and into a gold reflector. Contrast/curves adjusted in photoshop.
This is kinda 2 secrets wrapped up in one. First secret is that I have naturally curly hair. (If you look back in my stream, I cut 10 inches off of it not long ago.) Funny thing is, both my daughter and son have straight-as-a-board hair.
The other secret is, I am left-handed. My husband is also left-handed. Neither one of us can do anything with our right hands. We're pure-bread lefties :) Another crazy thing is, both our children are right-handed. Which to us, proved that being left-handed is not genetic in the simple way many people think, that left-handedness is a recessive trait. My scientist girlfriend told me it *is* genetic but in a much more complex way than just recessive and dominant. So many other factors are involved. So I told her, don't go any further because I know it will be way over my head. So, teaching our kiddos to write "right" is going to be pretty darn interesting....
Okay, I'm off! My girlfriend is having a lot of carved pumpkins sitting around at the reception. So I'm getting ready for pumpkin-carving duty :)

I'm trying to use up all the paper I already have, including cut-offs and scraps of paper, before buying anything new, so, some non-standard sizes.
Of course this nice right-handed drawing has the most resemblance, but I also find it the least interesting of the three.
Scott Houston McGregor (b. January 18, 1954) is a former MLB pitcher who spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles from 1976 to 1988. He is now the pitching coach for the Aberdeen IronBirds. He was a high school teammate of George Brett in El Segundo, CA. Brett was a second-round draft pick in 1971 while McGregor was a first-round draft pick of the New York Yankees in 1972.
In 1974 the New York Yankees sent 20 year old lefthanded pitcher Scott McGregor to Syracuse to begin the season in the Chiefs rotation under second year manager Bobby Cox. He was named I.L. Rookie of the Year, represented the Chiefs in the 1974 I.L. All Star Game and went 13-10 with a 3.44 ERA.
On June 12, 1976 the New York Yankees in an effort to capture their first Pennant in over a decade traded prize prospects Dave Pagan, Tippy Martinez and Scott McGregor to the Baltimore Orioles for lefthanded veteran pitcher Ken Holtzman.
He won 20 games in 1980 and was solid in two postseasons with the Orioles in 1979 and 1983. McGregor sent the Orioles to the World Series by clinching the 1979 ALCS with a Game 4 shutout of the California Angels. He also pitched a complete game victory in Pittsburgh in Game 3 of the World Series that year and, despite taking the loss in Game 7 of that series, yielded only 2 runs in 8 innings to Willie Stargell and the eventual champion Pirates.
After the 1983 World Series, he remained a starting pitcher on the Orioles for the next five seasons. He made his final appearance on April 27, 1988.
MLB debut - September 19, 1976, for the Baltimore Orioles
Last MLB appearance - April 27, 1988, for the Baltimore Orioles

Clearly, we have a leftie on our hands. She might be left-handed, but she's not sinister. :)

Everybody left the house for Juli's 2nd birthday last October and I took the opportunity to snap some photos of my cute little girl.

I have the absolute most coolest friends and clients in the world. If not for my relationship with Richard Turner and his staff at his Redbone Guitar Boutique I'd probably never have the chance to have dinner, drinks and seriously hang out with folks like Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson, Sir Paul McCartney's wingmen and guitar players. Again, thank you Richard!
Just to be clear, I didn't shoot this shot. The great snapping Rusty's making reference to here are the shots I took of both him and Brain May at two separate guitar clinics at Redbone. Those are over here: www.flickr.com/photos/hmk/sets/72157607057991660/

Unlike most turnstiles, the Metro in Barcelona expects you to be lefthanded, or at least be ready to have your ticket in your left hand. This comes as a surprise to most visitors or people who, like me, hardly use the Metro.
Every day I take the Metro I see the same scene: a tourist inserts the ticket with his/her right hand and watches in frustration how the turnstile remains locked, until the moment a local shouts that the unlocked turnstile is the one on his/her right. I'd really like to meet the engineer who designed this device. (In fact, I'm quite sure that this comes as as surprise even for lefthanded people!)
Note the 3 arrows (white, orange and black) trying to indicate the poor user that this is a turnstile unilke any other.
Al contrario que la mayoría de barreras de metro, las del metro de Barcelona están diseñadas para que el usuario introduzca el ticket con la mano izquierda. Esto siempre sorprende a los visitantes y a la gente que, como yo, rara vez usa el metro.
Cada vez que uso el metro presencio la misma escena: un turista mete el billete con su mano derecha en la máquina de la barrera y observa, atónito, como la barrera permanece cerrada; el desconcierto dura hasta que un local le grita que la barrera que se ha abierto es la de su derecha. De verdad que me encantaría conocer en persona al ingeniero que diseñó esta máquina.
(De hecho, sospecho que esto es una incómoda sorpresa incluso para los usuarios zurdos.)
Atención a las tres flechas (blanca, naranja y negra) que intentan advertir al pobre usuario que las barreras de este metro no son como las demás.

Notes
Jane Bewick (A). ‘A view of Cherryburn – T.B. (mounted on the three-legged stool) & his companions making a snowman, which stood till it became a mass of ice to the great terror of sundry old women one of whom ran back to the house to tell what an “awsome [sic] sight she had seen”. Here is the little window at the Bedhead [see Memoir page 10] – the stout well dressed boy is Willy Johnson, who lived with his mother Barbara Johnson in the Hamlet below [ie Eltringham]. He died a fat good-tempered old man at Prudhoe where he farmed many years – the ragged lad is Joe: Liddell son of Anthony Liddell mentioned in the memoir.’ ‘Building a snowman at Cherryburn, Bewick’s birthplace. Bewick himself is portrayed on the stool.’ (Bain 1978 page 17.) Attributed to TB’s Mature Phase by Bain (1978 p25). But Chatto (London Library MS.f.25) and Bain 1981 attribute the watercolour transfer drawing (at the British Museum) to Robert Johnson. See Jenny Uglow Nature’s Engraver 2006 for a discussion of ‘Esto Perpetua’ and Diana Donald (2013) for the suggestion that the figure of the snowman may be a caricature of the unpopular William Pitt (in a 2012 draft, in Ch 3 p.18 and notes 120 & 121).

10 units icosahedron with five right handed and five lefthanded (mirror symmetric) units.
Very stable model. Assembly was o.k., last flap not so nice, rest mostly easy.
I love those clean models, they are always a pleasure to fold and assemble.

Tomorrow I'm off to the East Coast for the Annual General Meeting of the American Society for the Alexander Technique. I'll still be drawing every day but I don't know how frequently I'll be able to post.
Today's Comment
This is a past self-portrait from my Daily Portrait Project, in which I made a non-photographic image of myself every day for three years, from 3/15/07 to 3/15/10. Soon they'll all be loaded on flickr, you can find them in this set: www.flickr.com/photos/juliakay/sets/72157619599543783/
The first year of the project is now available as a book: www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2418516
Volumes II and III coming soon...
Sooo... I was tagged by three lovely ladies a bit over a week ago (Anna~Karin, Joanne, and Gosia) and I'm only now getting to writing 16 things about myself.
I'll try to make it interesting ;)
1. I'm left-handed and proud of it!
2. At age 8 I decided I wanted to be an Olympic gymnast. When that didn't pan out, I joined a college acrobatics team at age 10. I was a performing acrobat until age 16.
3. As an acrobat, I got to miss at least a month of school a year when 'on tour'. Perfect since I hated being in school, and LOVED to travel.
4. I've gotten three learner's permits, but never tried for my driver's license... that's a resolution for this year. Better 10 years late than never, right?
5. When I was 17 I dropped out of high school and started producing surrealistic (sometimes disturbing) acrylic paintings almost non-stop.
6. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder several years later (which probably explains fact #5).
7. I did my senior year of high school in 3 weeks via a home-study program (I procrastinated so long that I finished high school a week before going to college...oops).
8. I attended a prestigious art college for just over a month (see fact #5).
9. I have an obsession with eye makeup! I'm always searching for an unusual pigment of eyeshadow to add to my huge stash. I'm serious.
10. I've been wearing eye makeup nearly every day since I was eight years old. Currently my daily routine includes 7-10 shades of eyeshadow, liquid eye-liner, and, of course, blackest black mascara!
11. I started making my own jewelry so I could be sure that no one else could possibly wear the same thing as me.
12. I wear Klewism jewelry single day, all the time- except when I'm swimming, in the shower, or sleeping.
13. I listen to audiobooks all the time. Especially when I'm painting or making jewelry.
14. I love animals- cats! dogs! lemurs! sheep! llamas! hedgehogs! lions! tigers! & bears! OH MY...
15. I'm a night person: I get a burst of energy around 10 pm that lasts until about 4 am.
16. I love people, but I am completely content to be alone for long periods of time- I have an abundant capacity for self-amusement :p

Many turnstiles have to be marked especially in order to make people aware of the uniqueness of this design.

This is part of my Daily Portrait Project, which can be viewed in it's entirety at studiojuliakay.com/portraitproject.
It's also part of series within the project, which I call left-hand-blind (LHB), in which I draw with my eyes closed and my non-dominant hand. I do open my eyes and use whichever hands I feel like for adding color.
