350/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Leading Lines":
I haven't decided if I entirely like this or not...Something seems "off", but I'm not sure what and I don't have time to experiment. I was trying to go for a bit more subtle lines with the white on white and wanting to work on white on white exposure. Your suggestions for improvement are very welcome. I hope this classifies as leading lines. It's not a very conventional example, however I do see lines within each flower leading to the stamen.
On a personal note: Our daughter is scheduled for a C-section tomorrow morning. Beginning tonight, we will have our 2 year old granddaughter with us around the clock for 4-5 days. We're so excited! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can somehow crank out 15 more photos to finish my 365. I hope to make comments in the evenings after Hannah goes to sleep, but hope you'll understand if my participation is sketchy over the next few days. Cannot believe we will finally meet our new granddaughter tomorrow!
I hardly ever say this....Please view LARGE.

Red Perspex squares on LED light pad, each 3mm thick, standing on their edges. When I started these edge-on squares were my least favourite, but the three dimensionality of the image is growing on me.
I couldn't even imaging that I could get a picture for the first module of The Assignment today. I'd planned a different set of pictures for today and there's still time to take them. However, I'm really pleased that I took this picture.

TULISANES / BANDITS [study], 2010

I developed a new sense of fascination for the 19th century Caviteno tulisan [bandit], shadowy figures that were either reviled as criminals or glorified as folk heroes. A good example was the case of Pedro Cuevas of Bacoor who escaped from prison and found himself in Basilan where he became a powerful datu. Such was the power and fascination / or shall I say fear? of the native populace, that 19th century Cavite was nicknamed “Madre de los Ladrones” [Mother of Thieves]. Not a complement at all for my home province, but it somehow nailed the legend of the tulisan—transforming him into an icon of sorts.
The study above is an attempt to incorporate the tulisanes into a figure of personal mytho-poetics: a symbol of my own shadows.I know some people may take it at face value: four indio bandits desecrating a 19th century Philippine altar, carrying with them treasures and expensive santos.
In fact it is also meant to be a dream-like scene utilizing historical figures to express inner realities. To some extent it is an extension of my series on the puer and the theme of initiation rites. In this piece, the puer (symbolized by the child Jesus) is forcibly abducted by four bandits (the quaternio) from the hands of the Great Mother / Goddess archetype (represented in turn by the Virgin’s statue). In this composition the shadowy figures emerging from the unconscious takes the role of the heroes (thus the halos), transforming the puer from a naive boy into a more realistic inner man.
I plan to return to this theme again in the future, this time in lithograph form. But for the meantime this study will do. A month or so of creative rest may yield more insights on the relevance of the tulisanes archetype within my own psyche and the collective unconscious of 19th century Tagalogs. - J.A.A.
This colorful group of international students represented their countries at the recent Study Abroad Fair at IPFW, where they participated in a parade of nations or made presentations about their respective countries. Information was available on more than 200 programs in 60 countries, making it the largest event of its kind in northeast Indiana.
i suppose i'm pretty lucky that this place is a 10 minute walk from my study hall :) there wasn't much colour in the sky. this is a little *ehhem* enhanced.
