You've been working for weeks on this and you're really optimistic about it, but when you arrive at the theater the day everything has to pay off and you see the empty seats looking at you, then you realize you have a responsibility.
Hours of preparation pass, really quick, and a uncomfortable feeling grows in your stomach. The last moments before the show starts arrive, sooner than expected, and there is nothing you could do about that. The murmur of the waiting public, too many people, annoys you, and as if it were a fiction story, the rain has come to salute as well.
Suddenly, someone opens the door, and a bunch of people take their places. Some of them don't have a seat and they occupy the stairs. And then the show goes on. It didn't go as you expected, but it finishes with a warm applause.
When it's over, you start thinking with normality. The main feeling is that too many things that were designed and developed, too much effort, have not been used or shown during those 20 minutes, the minutes that really count. But it wasn't a failure. It was a success. At least you think so, and that matters a lot.
And then you realize, this pain, this anxiety before the start feels good afterwards. It's kind of addictive.
(Note: this picture was taken on December, when I visited the theater for the first time to check the lightning. I took exactly the same picture yesterday to use it for 365, but my camera got stolen afterwards. I hope you understand.)
I was inspired by something I read on the internet, someone making a night light out of an old Millenium Falcon shell.
So I set out to make a Thomas and Friends night light for my son, using one of his "spare" Thomas toys as the base. The toy was taken apart in January and I finally got around to the hard yards a few weeks ago. A bit of a learning experience, lessons learned about what I should have done in the first place but I am quite chuffed about how it turned out.
Space inside was definitely at a premium which made for tricky work. It was meant to be for his birthday later this month but he spotted it in bubble wrap high on my bookshelf and there was no stopping him .... the night light has multiple colours but he decided he wanted a greenish tinge to it for now.

For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.

TEN project explores the idea of family relationships in connection to time. It started as a result of meeting one of my cousins, Gabriela, after almost 10 years; we spent little time together, trying to rediscover each other and (re)create a connection. Although natural and absolutely not staged, the series of portraits explores the familiarity versus the unknown, the blood relationships, the time and the distance. The title is also connected to Gabriela's maximum grade (10) that she received on a recent MA graduation exam. Will update it soon.

My submission for the Utata Iron Photographer 132 project.
Required elements:
a mirror
a toy
cross-processing
Strobist Info:
SB-600 to right at 1/100 with diffuser cap to light up border of the mirror
SB-600 in mini-softbox to left at 1//32 to light up puppets.
I shot one shot with the white puppet, then a second shot focused on the black puppet's reflection and cloned the black puppet's reflection into the white puppet's mirror. I used two different cross-processing techniques in Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0. One was C04 and I don't remember what the other was. The cross-processing filters dropped the blacks too much in the black puppet's clothing. I should have it that area up more.
21 February
Bronzed.
Shining in the warmth.
Weather worn and sun drenched,
Your branches begin to reach.
They crawl
Through tangles of wind
And quiet whispers of
Renewal.
Seasons
Passing like cold moonlight;
To sky painted in soft pinks and purples;
On to hard rays that
Make tears in your eyes;
And then come the fiery reds and oranges
Like leaves falling,
Following the sun through dying sky;
And again the snowy silver
Of a new moon;
But it is aways new,
Always sweet,
And that is what we miss
When we forget the roots.
Haircut, sunlight, honest conversations.

Took some great classes and learned soooooo much!
I took the fabric dye class by Stacy Mitchell 2 years ago and have used the fabric to make my purse labels. I just love her! She is a local artist with international connections. Her annual open house is April 18th. I plan to be there!!
Took some excellent knitting classes. Learned a bunch... good since I really know VERY little. I did the smallest knitting with beads and may make a beaded bracelet instead of the little purse that was the project. Helen, our instructor, has been knitting since she was a small girl.
The hand beading class was amazing... learned so much. I knew nothing before the class and know enough to start experimenting. June Colburn was an inspirational teacher.
Loved the felted bowl and the crochet flowers class instructors. Very helpful! They made the concepts easy to grasp. Both were from a local yarn shop..."The Whole Nine Yarns". Lovely yarns in their booth.... drool!
Something quite different... took a locker hook clutch class. Fascinating textures created with yarns and fabric strips. I now see a way to use my remnants in a beautiful creative way!!!
Textiles! Fibers! FUN!!! =)
The apprentice projects section was a comfy little hole. This picture surprises me as I don’t recall many of these faces as ever having worked in here at the time that this photo would have been taken. This was where the models, of various sizes and types, were made. The little brass one’s [to be given to visiting dignitaries] were a pain in the arse, even though they looked good. Three weeks to make, eight weeks to polish. I can still taste the polish now.
VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.
In Association with: Rhodia, Seawhite, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth, COPIC Pens

I've started a new project to customise an Olympus 35RC. The plan is to include a Konica Hexar AF style grip, new skin, smoothed top and bottom plates to remove the hotshoe, self timer lever, all logos and fit a new Leica M4 style film counter surround.
Bye bye Senan :(
