I bought some battery operated fairy lights for my huge "money tree" (crassula ovata also known as jade plant), to use at Christmas, so of course, had to try them out!
Max was fascinated by the reflection the lights cast on the wall alongside the plant.

Maximilian Carlo "Max" Martini (born December 11, 1969, in Woodstock, New York) is an American actor.
The Flax Barn at Laren is one of Liebermann’s main works among his large-scale paintings of groups of people and workers from the 1880s. At the time, Holland was an important destination for Liebermann and his contemporaries. They saw Rembrandt and Frans Hals as their artistic role models, and by working directly from observation of their subjects, they learned to leave their dark studios and to shake off the fetters of Munkácsy’s working methods. In addition, in Holland they found the ideal of a bourgeois society and a solid social structure put into practice. At the time, plein air painting was still confusingly modern, but The Flax Barn at Laren was all the more offensive for the scale of development of its subject matter.
In a bright, low, yet extensive shed, all the figures are performing the same task, spinning flax. By the wall under the windows, there are children using flywheels to wind the flax onto spindles. Women and girls stand spaced throughout the room, each with a bundle of flax under her arm, spinning the thread with her hands. The scene is marked by its strong, even rhythm; in their structure the parallels of the floorboards and the beams strengthen the harmony of the work. The women stand in the space like “pillars.” The work depicts the calm of everyday life — and a sense of permanence in the monotony of constantly repeated movements. The colours are also without dramatic contrasts, reserved and cool. That peculiarly Dutch, pale, silvery-grey light, which Liebermann loved so much, permeates the scene. Above all it is the light here, in all its various reflections, that underlines the life and beauty of the scene — an everyday poem, calm and composed.

Max Pechstein.
Born December 31, 1881
Painter and print-maker.
Love the art that he created .
Max was hated by the Nazis because of his artwork.
Over 326 of his paintings were taken down from German museums.
Some of his paintings were displayed in the Degenerate Art exhibition of 1937.
That is what the Nazis called art (Degenerate Art),
That didnt fit into the mold they considered art,
Kind of ironic a degenerate philosophy of the Nazis,
Could call anything degenerate,
Especially people and great art,
Max went into seclusion in rural Pomerania.
Max made many prints,
Producing 421 lithographs, 315 woodcuts and engravings,
Max was also a teacher at the Berlin Academy for ten years,
He was dismissal by the Nazis in 1933.
He was reinstated in 1945,
Eventually Mr.Pechstein won numerous titles and awards for his work.
Max Died June 29, 1955.

Lake on T-max 400 again.
I exposed this roll a lot better. I like the first one a lot.
Possibly I should not title the photos the way I do it. In most cases it's rather technical info I give there. But of course this is not what the pictures are "about". Basically I don't like to give any title at all, but posting everything "n/t" is probably silly as well. And I'm obviosly making photos and don't feel like I want to add some serious prose writing or even lyric. This should be in the pictures itself.
Also, the only people really looking at my photos probably are photographers themself. So I think there is still a bit of value in the description.
took this pic while i was teaching one of my hot shots courses. one of the tasks on my course is to shot a list of 66 things on 2 rolls on film in 3 hours. this was for a "statue". i think i am gonna remove statue from the list as there are only 2 statues in the area that we walk around in, everyone usually ends up shooting max
got 1 more dates in 2011 in brighten if anyones interested check my site for more details

She stood out from the crowd of students who were filling Gould Street in downtown Toronto as Ryerson University came to life for the fall term. It was not just her impressive height that made her stand out; it was also her beauty and great sense of style. When I approached her, she was conversing with friends but she politely listened to my introduction and my request to photograph her for my photo project. She smiled, looked at my contact card, and said she could spare the couple of minutes I had requested. “Where do you want to do it?” she asked. I pointed to the space between campus buildings next to where we were standing. Coincidentally, it was the same location as the one used for my most recent project photo a week ago. I told her a bit more about the project as we walked. Meet Max.
Max handed her coffee to her friend who had accompanied us to the narrow, backlit space between two brick walls. He waited patiently while we did the photos. I didn’t ask if Max had modeled before but her ease in front of my camera, and her striking presence suggested she may have. After a test shot, we could both see the potential of the brief session and I pulled out my reflector to balance out the light and make the most of Max’s great eyes. She held it as I clicked off a half-dozen more photos.
I explained I would like to ask her a few questions to complete the interpersonal aspect of the project and told her she could decline answering any questions if she wished. She said “No problem” with a smile. Max is 20 and came to Toronto for university from Barrie, a city an hour and a half north but considers Toronto her home now. She is studying Fashion Journalism and is in the Creative Industries program. I told her I had met another student in this interesting program which is described by the university as follows: “Unique among Canadian universities, Ryerson’s Creative Industries program studies the creative fields from the perspective of enterprise development and entrepreneurship, and blends artistic, media, communication, cultural and business studies to prepare students for employment opportunities or advanced education in today’s creative economy.”
Max’s advice to her younger self is “don’t share everything about yourself on social media.” She went on to say she used to have a tendency to overshare which I know to be an issue these days. A challenge she has faced in life is “Identity. Reconciling the difference between who I want to be and who I am.” I thought it was an interesting and thoughtful response which would have been interesting to pursue if I wasn’t aware that her friend was waiting with Max’s rapidly-cooling cup of coffee. Her message to the project is “Don’t let compassion become a lost art. Care about others.”
In our final shared moments, Max said she has had to do projects that involved approaching strangers and asking for cooperation and is sympathetic to how difficult it can me. This motivated her to want to help me with my project, for which I am thankful. I told her that I’ve become much more comfortable in approaching strangers as I’ve become more experienced with it but I still go through times when I get a “project block,” something I have been experiencing this last couple of weeks. “The reasons for this are somewhat mysterious” I said,
“but I’m sure they are internal. Thank you for helping me break through the block today.”
We parted with a warm handshake and with Max wishing me much success with the project. I thanked her friend for his patience. This is my 531st submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.
