The Woman Who Amuses Herself
a Chicago premiere by Victor Lodato
Directed by ensemble member, Nathan Pease
June 25 - July 24, 2016
In 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia, a worker at the Louvre, committed the crime of the century by walking out with the Mona Lisa hidden under his coat. Peruggia then spent two years in his Paris apartment alone with the mysteriously smiling woman as his muse. But was he an Italian patriot who believed “La Gioconda” should be returned to her native Italy? Or was he a not-so-common thief seeking his fortune?
Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece has attracted, inspired, and perplexed millions of admirers across generations and continents but what makes the Mona Lisa so special? Was it her theft alone that brought her the world’s attention? Meet Vincenzo and others affected by the smiling lady in this intriguing whydunnit.

Toni has been out of town for Thanksgiving, with little/no internet access. Which means, she took her photos early...leaving me to choose things to match.
I LOVE this shot of Toni's. Love it!
But amuse was difficult for me. I know this cake looks "delicious" (it was!), but I took the shot strictly for "amused." You see, we never buy cakes for birthdays. But this year, I've enjoyed the Cake Wrecks blog so much, that I requested a purchased cake. This amuses me. As in, my sister and I were giggling as we bought it. Silly, I know.
On the way to the ward, this cheek girl did her trick (sticking her tongue) again, at her mummy this time and mummy was so amused! Well done girl!
Notes
I love my Moleskines when you get them all fresh and new. I think to myself, "Yeah - I want to keep it that way," and for a while, the Moleskine stays plain and black.
Then I think to myself, "I want to brighten it up, just a little bit," so I put a sticker on and think that I'll leave it at that.
Next thing I know, it's stickers all round.
Day 177: Amused. My m42 adapter finally came for the 5d. These lenses really show their stuff when used with a full frame sensor (they were designed for film cameras). This shot is with the Jupiter 9, 85mm f/2 lens. It gets pretty sharp by f/4, and has a 16 bladed aperture for smooth bokeh at any aperture.
Note: The exif data for this shows 50mm f/2 as that value is hard coded into the chip in the adapter to allow focus confirmation in the viewfinder. This shot was at 85mm f/4.
