PRESS POWER, or the media's dictatorship
by Gérard Rancinan
Finding light on rainy days is hard to do. When everything is washed in gray, the colors just don't sweep me up the way they do when the light hits them. But there is light, in the glassy puddling reflections that enchant and offer a lovely glimpse into a world I thought was drab. Hope that is seen is not hope at all, you know...

Обеих героинь для полотна художник писал со своей жены, крестьянки из Воронежской губернии Веры Поповой. Как и во многих других работах, Попов подчеркнул общее настроение этой картины с помощью фонового пейзажа. Он написан широкими мазками, без мелких деталей, однако яркий солнечный свет, его мягкие блики на посуде, одежде, траве наполняют картину умиротворенностью и спокойным уютом.
Попов часто писал свою жену. В светском образе она представлена на картине ''Женщина с зеленой лампой'', как крестьянка изображена на ''Портрете жены в пестром платке'' и ''Портрете жены в красном сарафане''. Вера Попова сидит за фортепиано в жанровой работе ''Жених'' и стоит на переднем плане полотна ''Луга затопило''.
Однако эта картина наполнена особенным настроением. Даже сам ее сюжет - утреннее чаепитие в саду дома, беременность одной из героинь, которая угадывается по силуэту - демонстрирует интимную сцену из семейной жизни художника.
The model for both heroines of the painting was the artist’s wife Vera Popova, a peasant woman from the Voronezh province. As he often did, Popov emphasized the general mood of this picture through its background landscape. It is painted in broad strokes, without fine details; however, the bright sunlight casting its soft highlights on dishes, clothes and grass fills the picture with tranquility and calm comfort.
Popov often portrayed his wife. In the Woman with a Green Lamp, she is depicted as an urban lady; in the Portrait of the Wife in a Colorful Shawl and Portrait of the Wife in a Red Sundress, she is a peasant girl. Vera Popova is sitting at the piano in the genre piece The Groom and stands in the foreground of the Meadows Flooded.
However, this picture is filled with a special mood. Even the plot itself, a morning tea party in the garden, the pregnancy of one of the heroines which is revealed by her silhouette, demonstrates an intimate scene from the artist’s family life.
I was disappointed that the lightbulb still rattled even after I'd covered it in layers of papier-mâché.
(I gouged at it with scissors until I could see the shine of the bulb again and the ripples reminded me somehow of an earthquake. It was then that I forgot about the rattle.)
My wife cooked freshly caught scallops the other night and these are the lovely shells that hid those little treasures!

The metronome was set at Allegro which means "lively". The slow shutter speed, a strobe light (video on my tablet) and the fill in flash (on camera) caught the movement.

I wanted to try out a new zoom trick I learned from a fellow Flickr user (Ugh - can't believe I can't remember who to give proper credit).
Technically, I should have done this with a tripod. But, as usual, I forgot to bring it. I have a tripod aversion actually. It requires way too much prep and I'm impatient.

Mat made of coir - the fiber obtained from the husk of a coconut, used in making rope and matting - is at the front door of a friend's home in Carmel, NY.
Paradise, or at least the Paradise of this sign, is in Pennsylvania. It is a very small place in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Many years ago, my kids and I took a road trip through that area.I have kept this souvenir all these years because I liked the idea of knowing exactly where Paradise was.
that perches in the soul...
