I decided to follow a new direction for this project. Experiencing the current pandemic situation and having to stay quarantined for safety, I was having issues with myself and the artworks I was creating. I felt like it was unimportant to keep making the same kind of sculptures in the current moment. I felt like there were more pressing matters to attend than making cute, fun, little figurines. Plus, all that was filling my mind was anxieties about knowing if my family and friends were safe after checking the news all day every day to see how close and in which locations new cases of the virus were being found. I felt the need to create some more literal art piece which reminded me of the chapter on language in our book, which reminded me of Jenny Holzer's work with the large projections and light signs. I figured I could express what I was feeling and being surrounded with by working in a similar way.
The bottom sign is more of what the news casts were telling people to do, and the top sign is what I was seeing friends and family post on the internet. I also added the part "We are here because we are here.." as a reference to a time in WWI were British soldiers stopped to sing this in the battlefield over and over as a form of expressing how they felt trapped in battle and danger without knowing even the reason for them to be there.
My daughter doesn't like dresses, so I remixed this as a tunic and leggings. I kept the shape of the bodice, but lengthened it. It is still fully lined. On the back, I used big covered buttons and longer loops to give it a kind of Sergeant Pepper feel. I mimicked the color band of the sash with solid colored leggings. These were re-purposed from the sleeves of an old shirt, using the existing hems and adding a yoga style waistband. Her headband is one I use a lot; ribbon covered with a snap so I can swap out the yoyos to match her different outfits. For a finishing touch, I used the scraps of my lining fabric to make a necklace (from another Cottage Mama tutorial!). Still dressy, but more practical. :)
SpirosK is the wonderful photographer for this henna project, and Danai Gourd the marvellous model. We shot in an abandoned hotel in the mountains north of Athens, Greece. The hotel was really moody, surreal, post-apocalyptic fairy in a mad maxish setting. This was one of the most fun projects I have worked on with a great crew - assistants, make up artists, everyone gave 110% of their energy to do this.
Henna was a challenge for me, not my normal style. Tried to make it thorny, not too flowery, tribally, but not too tribal, and the raggedy faerie wings were accented with water color pencil.
The cast and crew are:
Spiros K. = Photographer
Kree Arvanitas = Henna artist
Danai Gourd = Model
Jennifer Rage = Makeup Artist
Magdalini = Artist Assistant
Anastasia = Model Assistant

So after the Senior picnic I went straight home to pack all the gear I needed for Denise's cotillion. This is my first time doing photography for an event like this since the other times were video gigs. It was really fun to take pictures and I wish Denise all the blessings for her 18th birthday.

More kaboom with the Triggersmart. I have some new pellets that smash the glass first time everytime so it's just a question of timing. It's also somewhat easier with two strobes now. I had my Nikon SB900 to the left and a Yongnuo to the right, both on manual at 1/128.
This flower is from my mom’s hibiscus plant, the other day it had six huge blooms. I saw them and thought it’d be neat to do a portrait with one of them. The blossoms only live for a day and so I had to wait for the next bunch to pop open and that was today.
Something so beautiful and it only lasts a day. I guess that’s a picture of physical beauty, as it says in Proverbs 31: 30 “…beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” I think so often as women we can get caught up in physical beauty, it’s like our worth is derived from that. It’s what people see first when they meet us even before we open our mouths. I know I have struggled in this area and the culture of the day doesn’t make it easy. Everywhere you look the beauty of women is displayed and exploited. So in our hearts we can feel that we have to compete with what the world says is beautiful. As a mom of two daughters I want them to be free of that, I want them to be secure with how the Lord has created them. I want their beauty to come from within, just as I want mine to come from within.
“Beauty... when you look into a woman's eyes and see what is in her heart.”

Couple more things about me:
1. I like to fish, though I haven’t done a lot of it in a long time. But we grew up going to the cottage every summer for a week and the two things you did were swimming and fishing. When I was nineteen I caught a 25lb 42 inch musky. My brother thought I was stuck, he insisted that I was stuck; of course I didn’t think so. Anyway, I gave the rod to him and he reeled the beast in much to his surprise.
2. I love going for drives to just sit and see the country side.

Week 1/52
I've decided to do a 52 week project, instead of a 365 day project, to learn more about photography and hopefully become more artistic and creative. It's going to be a challenge, but i really feel that i will be able to accomplish this and discover even more about myself through photography. I've learned a lot through looking at other people pictures and I've never been this excited for something in a while!
This picture is alright I really just thought it was cool how there's the bokeh on the tree, and the reflection of the bokeh in the window.
Mi amiga..Isabella Fortune..checkidy check hers out!
A couple of days late due to a wee bit much of the festive fare. All the leaves are gone now and a pretty dull day. Only one more to go in the series but the slideshow looks quite nice already.
Leaving landing gear and used descent stage behind, LEM's ascent stage blasts off the moon for a rendezvous with the orbiting Apollo.

Understanding digital media as a public sphere Alexandre Burton and Julien Roy generate their environments by working in the midst and on the edges of digital media extending the range of visual and audio vocabularies. They intersect digital forms, structures and patterns with analog time- and space frames and their physical phenomena, broadening the 101 of the interstice of virtual world and its material grounds.
The installation consists of up to 64 large (diameter: 20 cm) 1000 Watt light bulbs, organized in a rectangular matrix. The bulbs are hanging from the ceiling at about one meter from the floor, composed to generate an environment that resonates in its light- and sound-qualities.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Currently working on the interior wiring, brake lines, panels, etc.

(I didn’t feel like thought bubbles really belonged in this one, but I couldn’t resist the allure of mentioning just what each one of me was thinking, so I added notes with numbers to put to each one of my thoughts)
1) (sob) Stop fighting. Stop fighting. Stop fighting.
2) Screw this up, and the blood is on your hands…YOUR HANDS!!
3) Don’t tell me my business. This recipe is proven!
4) Hey guys. You sure we should be using this stuff? Says here it’s harmful or fatal if swallowed…Guys?
5) Where the hell is Captain Awesome, when you need him?
6) Tender grilled Teriyaki chicken, topped with pineapple and pepper jack cheese (shibby)

After a rickety start to the day, with waking up and not being in the mood for a run, I did in the end do after getting back from buying some bits for cooking tonight.
I did, according to my running watch, have my fastest 5 mile (just over) run today with an average 12.8kmh pace - apparently I run better when the interest in doing so isn't there to begin with...
The picture is very much a work in action of the meal, and once finished is a simple but tasty meal. Yum!

I did have a photo lined up for today, but having just read the news about the death of Malcolm McLaren I thought I'd have a change of tack.
There's no doubting that McLaren is a very, very odd character. Most will know him as the manager of the Sex Pistols, but he also created some very interesting music of his own.
There's no doubt that the 1983 album 'Duck Rock' and the 1989 'Waltz Darling' album were both ten years ahead of their time, even if they're not to your taste.
I love 'Waltz Darling' which to my ears still sounds fresh and in parts even contemporary. It's an oddball jazz/funk/Vogueing fusion but features Bootsy Collins, Jeff Beck and Dave Stewart if you listen hard enough!
Of course, as you can see in the photo, it also uses the exquisitely beautiful 'Flaming June' as the cover, which is my favourite Leighton by a mile.
I read an interesting article a few years ago where McLaren was exploring 'chip music' and touted it as the next big thing. Roll up to 2010 and listen to a Little Boots song. He was right again.
Such a shame. He was undoubtedly as mad as toast, but the world is a poorer place without him!
