I'm sooo grateful to my friends for being a part of this shoot and braving the chilly weather last night. This image was created to benefit the organization Unchained at Last for their upcoming fundraiser.
As someone who connects very personally with their mission, I wanted to do something to support their amazing work: helping women leave unwanted arranged marriages.
I definitely recommend checking out this very worthy organization: www.unchainedatlast.org/
Here is the wedding procession , This is part of the women's section . The men and the women are segregated in the parade . Quite honestly there are so many things about their traditions that I don't understand . The music is blaring , the men are dancing , the women are so colorfully wrapped and then there is the groom riding a white mare . I believe they are headed to the brides home , not to be wed but as part of the courtship ...least I say it gets quite complicated . On top of that , it is more than likely an arranged marriage with the bride and groom only meeting several times before agreeing to marriage . Ahhhhh Incredible India !!!!! You can also see the wires connecting the candelabra's with the generator in the back of the procession ....yes , hard wired for 50 yards ! View it right , hit "L" for all all the colors to show
At the Amber Fort in Jaipur there were a handful of couples in their finest clothes posing for engagement pictures. I hope their photographers don't hate me too much for stealing a shot here and there. The interesting thing about India and Central Asia is that most marriages are arranged, and the engagement pictures reflect that. There is typically a lot of air between the pair because at this point most of them don’t know each other all that well.
Receiving gifts is so much fun :)) Was thrilled to receive an autographed copy of "Arranged Marriage" by the author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni from Sum girl.
Thank you so much Natasha...hugs!
It’s one of the cutest rituals in a Bengali Wedding and it is called ‘subho dristi’ … roughly translating into ‘good luck look’.
In the age when arranged marriages were way of life in India, matches were not made in chat rooms and offices, rather by family members and relatives.
It may sound unbelievable today – but the girl and boy did not meet or even see each other till minutes before the actual wedding. So the girl was brought in front of the boy – with her face covered with betel leaves – this was supposed to be lucky for the Bride and when she removed the leaves the boy looked at her and fell in love at ‘first sight’ ;-)
Now all that remains is the ritual – but still it’s amazing to behold!
A young niece of the bride peeps through the curtains where the bride is readying herself.

from the Templar Order for sexual perversion (i.e., love) but are then targeted because of their knowledge of an ancient artifact the Templars will use to control the papacy.
Front cover: Secreta Corporis (Libri Mysterii Book 3), a novel I wrote and published for the Kindle 02/21/2013.
The final cover design. The photo is stock, but I changed the exposure and color balance, retouched the image, and created the text and layer effects. Behind the title are the Templar seal, the Eye of Thoth (the reverse of the Eye of Horus), and the Seal of God found in medieval grimoires. Along the bottom of the image are some of the symbols of the fifteen fixed stars employed in astrology.
The story is set in the 12th century. It's the prequel to my novel The Talpiot Find. The Latin translates to "secrets of the body." Secreta Corporis is available at the Kindle Store.

The photo is stock, but I added in the closest figure from another photo with Photoshop and created the text and the layer effects.
The story is set in the 12th century. It's the prequel to my novel The Talpiot Find. (I wonder if this cover design is just too retro and looks as if Douglas Fairbanks Jr. or Errol Flynn will play the leading role in the movie version. Or does it look like a cover design you're likely to see currently at Barnes & Nobel?) Two Templar knights are ousted from the Order for sexual perversion (i.e., love) but are then targeted because of their knowledge of an ancient artifact the Templars will use to control the papacy.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
She gave me her contact info. Said next time she'll take to her "Dacha", advertised her daughter who studies "all about International Relations" who she bets I will fall in love with because she needs a husband.

We met a group of women one day to discuss love versus arranged marriage. This young woman has been married for a year and very happy ( arranged) ( her parents know what is best for her). The yellow cord around her neck is a marriage symbol. The knots are retied at 6 months by her in laws and the gold coins are gifts from her husband. She is a college graduate with an engineering degree.
jelly had jared over for a dinner date this weekend. it was a lot of fun, they ate, swam, and played in the sandbox.
India is a land of contradictions. On one hand, parents and elders teach you not to talk to strangers, while on the other hand they have no qualms in getting you married off to an absolute stranger and expect you to have sex with that person. Dating is a big NO for the members of a “respectable” ...

I like how the videographer, photographer, a cricket player and Michael Jackson takes up way more space than the couple.

A funny tradition here in India. On the last day of the 5 day or so wedding party, the groom finally 'takes possession' of his wife. In many cases the groom meets his wife only on that day for the first time (rural Rajasthan) and then it's home, in this case on the leash to his parent's house. I am somewhat glad to have been born on the other side of the world but it's funny to see...

After 'Marriage a la Mode' by Hogarth
Rego made this work for the National Gallery's group exhibition Encounters, eight years after her residency. She was asked to produce a piece that responded to a work in the gallery's collection. Rego chose British artist William Hogarth's Marriage A-la-Mode c.1743. Hogarth's cycle of paintings is a morality tale of arranged marriage, betrayal and death. Rego reworks Hogarth's story, updates it and set it in Portugal. In her first panel, two mothers arrange their children's marriage. In the second, the girl learns to perform 'womanhood' from her future mother-in-law. Finally, the now grown-up husband returns destitute from Brazil, in need of his betrayed wife's support.

(July – October 2021)
The UK's largest and most comprehensive retrospective of Paula Rego’s work to date.
Since the 1950s, Paula Rego has played a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. An uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power, she has revolutionised the way in which women are represented.
This exhibition tells the story of this artist’s extraordinary life, highlighting the personal nature of much of her work and the socio-political context in which it is rooted. It also reveals the artist’s broad range of references, from comic strips to history painting.
It features over 100 works, including collage, paintings, large-scale pastels, ink and pencil drawings and etchings. These include early works from the 1950s in which Rego first explored personal as well as social struggle, her large pastels of single figures from the acclaimed Dog Women and Abortion series and her richly layered, staged scenes from the 2000-10s.
This is a unique opportunity to survey, in the city that Rego has lived in and called home for most of her life, the full range of her work.
