When I first laid eyes on Ms. K. here I immediately asked permission for a photo. I had about ten seconds to squeeze off two shots before K's bus pulled up and my photo opportunity got on the bus. I like this even if it's not exactly what I was hoping for, a well-lit, nicely-composed and properly-exposed street portrait. So I edited this later on my home computer using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. See this image LARGEr here: www.flickr.com/photos/mikeygottawa/7314884600/sizes/o/
Thanks for this Kanasda. Here's comes your bus. See you later.

As the saga of my packing continues, I decided to take my daily photo today with one of my most prized works of art. I found this gem at the Vatican Museum, in the way to view the Sistine Chapel, while in Rome. It is a lith-silkscreen on hand made paper. I carefully carried it on the rest of my trip and then brought it home and had it professionally framed. I really like the end result and it means so much to me.
My undergrad degree is in Art History and I spent 3 weeks traveling through Italy and France to see a great deal of the art work I had studied in college. So many masterpieces brought me to tears.
Michelangelo is one of my 3 most favorite artists of all time. I bought opera glasses so I could use them in the Sistine Chapel to be able to view all of the detail of the ceiling and the wall. I must have sat there for an hour as groups filed in and left, while the guard kept repeating "Silenzio" as these slack-jawed travelers walked into this sacred chapel talking loudly, looking up, and moving on.
With this shot, I pay homage to the Italian Master!

This product is made with hand crafted paper using the centuries old technique of soaking the hemp and then mixing it with other plant fibers, earthen materials, and natural pigments. The paper mixture is spread on a frame to flatten and then dried in open air. The new paper is then worked by hand and printed with the art image.
