First attempt at strobist work at home using my new flash. For musically challenged:
'All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it's takin'away
Leaves me with the feelin' that I fear the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost '
All my life- Foo Fighters
I wanted to try to highlight (and overexpose in parts) the different parts of neck/head to try to create a ghost like look.
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Wow!!!
The day started musically, with refreshing water sound play, as the basics of Music.
Shape Hopscotch: an educative way to improve on their fine motor skills, gave a wonderful learning experience.
Wall number game for numeracy was also exciting.
To enhance their literacy skills, they sorted out phonics by sending phonic mails.
Archeologist!! Archeology!!
Yes… at White Fields Nursery, archeologists were busy digging up old remains of dinosaurs and insects.
Kids enjoyed Water play, during which they had to search for the sea animals in their own little sea.
They enjoyed the ring game and painting activities, and also had a great time learning about number 4 and counting with pom poms.
During outdoor game, kids played a "hit the target" game.
The day ended with a balloon tennis game.
A day to explore and to enjoy…

I took these photos while wandering aimlessly around San Marco Piazza in Venice during the Carnevale in February 2010. It was quite an experience - all these costumed characters milling about waiting to be photographed by throngs of paparazzi. I lucked out by doing a lot of one-on-one shooting with the costumed people. I'd love to get back there next year to try new things and check out the new costumes!
we busted out of class had to get away from those fools
we learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school
tonight I heart the neighborhood drummer sound
i can feel my heart begin to pound
you say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down
we made a promise we swore wed always remember
no retreat, believe me, no surrender
like soldiers in the winters night with a vow to defend
no retreat, believe me, no surrender
now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
we swore blood brothers against the wind
i'm ready to grow young again
and hear your sisters voice calling us home across the open yards
believin' we could cut someplace of our own
with these drums and these guitars
we made a promise we swore wed always remember
no retreat, believe me, no surrender
blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
no retreat, believe me, no surrender
now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
the walls of my room are closing in
but it's good to see your smiling face and to hear your voice again
we could sleep in the twilight by the river side
with a wide open country in our hearts
and these romanics dreams in our heads
we made a promise...

The Farewell (1878)
Artist: Harriet Backer
Throughout Harriet Backer's 50-year career, women's rights changed radically. Being a woman and an artist became accepted. Backer was talented and determined, inspiring a new generation of women and men in the Norwegian art world.
In Backer’s family, art and culture were part of how the children were raised. Her older sister Agathe was musically gifted and wanted to become a pianist. She had to go abroad to learn, and Harriet became her sister's traveling companion. This gave Harriet the opportunity to visit art museums and get to know the historical masters of the art world at a young age. Agathe eventually became a renowned composer and concert pianist, while Harriet became an important artist.
Backer showed an early talent and interest in art, but embarked on full-time studies rather late in life. In 1874, at 29 years, she decided to travel to Munich. The art community in Norway was small, so one had to go abroad.
The art academies in Europe were reserved for men in those days, but women could receive private tuition or attend "women's classes". During her years in Munich, Backer had several teachers. In 1878 she moved to Paris to continue her studies.
Being accepted for exhibition at the Salon in Paris was an important step on the path to becoming a professional artist. In 1880, Backer was accepted with the painting Solitude. Hundreds of artists exhibited at these exhibitions at the same time, and the paintings hung close together, from floor to ceiling. The jury thought Backer's painting was excellent, and she was honoured with a diploma, known as a Mention honorable.
In Munich, Backer learned to paint in a style characterised by a high level of detail and dark colours. We see this for example in Avskjeden (The Farewell), from 1878. When she came to Paris, she was greatly inspired by impressionism. In one of her best-known paintings, Blått interiør (Blue Interior), painted five years after Avskjeden, the transformation of her painting style is evident. Clear and pure colours dominate the composition. From this point on, the interaction between figure, interior and light effects became a theme that permeated Backer's paintings. How to create contrasts between the light indoors and outdoors? How are colours perceived in lamplight compared to daylight? She approached her subjects with these issues in mind.
Backer started her career with a desire to become a portrait painter. She painted many friends and acquaintances, and also received portrait commissions. But it is her interior scenes she has become best known for. She painted interiors from all walks of life – from farmhouses to bourgeois living rooms. For the most part, Backer's rooms are populated by women.
I think I serve the cause of women best by concentrating like a man – Harriet Backer
In 1888, Backer established herself in Norway, and from 1892 to 1910 ran a painting school in Kristiania. She became a popular teacher. Her openness to new ideas in both art and social development was appreciated. She sympathised with the women's movement, but did not actively participate in political work.
In the women's cause, Backer was recognised more for what she did than what she said – as a renowned artist she was an important role model. Together with friend and fellow artist Kitty Kielland, she was a pioneer who paved the way for women to have the opportunity to choose art as a career path.
About Harriet Backer:
Born 21 January 1845 in Holmestrand.
Lived in Paris in 1878–1888.
Started an art school in Kristiania in the 1890s. Backer’s students included Nikolai Astrup, Halfdan Egedius, Harald Sohlberg, Henrik Lund, Helga Ring Reusch, Astri Welhaven and Sara Fabricius (Cora Sandel).
Died 25 March 1932 in Oslo.
Important works:
Solitude (1878–1880)
Blått interiør (Blue Interior) (1883)
På blekevollen (Bleaching) (1886–1887)
Ved lampelys (By Lamplight) (1890)
Barnedåp i Tanum kirke (Baptism at Tanum Church) (1892)
Inngangskoner (Women in Church) (1892)
Interiør fra Uvdal stavkirke (Interior from Uvdal Stave Church) (1909)

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

I just got back from another road trip. Last week we drove down to San Antonio, TX, with stops in Hot Springs, AR and Fort Worth, TX along the way. I took this photo while gassing up the car at "Willie's Place" at Carl's Corner, TX (a must-stop for any true road-tripper, let alone a Willie Nelson fan)... I have over 500 photos to sort through from the trip, so it will take some time. I also hope to get the chance to catch up on everyone else's photos.
... and had I only known I was going to stop here this year, I would have saved Willie's "On The Road Again" for this photo in my Musically Inspired set... but the "Highwayman" is just as good, especially for another tribute to Willie....
The Highwaymen - #41/52 for Musically Inspired set
"I was a highwayman .
Along the coachroads I did ride,
With sword and pistol by my side.
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade.
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25,
But I am still alive..."
So, this week's list for Musically Challenged is by ) Jason (, and one of the songs is Short Skirt, and he said he was hoping for some good shots for that one, by which I assume he meant some cute ladies (and the group has those for sure) with short skirts. Well, that leaves me out, but I wanted to play the song since I like it, so I asked this young lady I know to pose. And, she said she would, but that she is not a skirt type. Since beggars can't be choosers, I told her wear whatever outfit she wanted, as long as it was pretty, and this is what she brought to the photos shoot.
Do it! . . . . . . . And eyes that burn like cigarettes . . . . .Glad you did, right?
Short Skirt by Cake.
"... Everywhere you go.
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel.
One in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow..."
Bing Crosby - #50/52 for Musically Inspired set
For Musically Challenged, Pearl Jam's Black. The album Ten takes me back to adolescence, preteen angst, and a boy I had a crush on back then. I can still remember the day I bought this album (I also added STP's Purple and Veruca Salt's American Thighs to my music repertoire that day). There is so much emotion in this song, it gives me chills even after all these years.
Not too much effort into today's shot. Soup, muffin-baking, and snuggling are on my agenda. A far cry from those insecure days of junior high.

Artist: Harriet Backer
Throughout Harriet Backer's 50-year career, women's rights changed radically. Being a woman and an artist became accepted. Backer was talented and determined, inspiring a new generation of women and men in the Norwegian art world.
In Backer’s family, art and culture were part of how the children were raised. Her older sister Agathe was musically gifted and wanted to become a pianist. She had to go abroad to learn, and Harriet became her sister's traveling companion. This gave Harriet the opportunity to visit art museums and get to know the historical masters of the art world at a young age. Agathe eventually became a renowned composer and concert pianist, while Harriet became an important artist.

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
