Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021)] it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.

Rikke is a journalist. This shot was taken for her profile on one of the websites she works for. It's actually a reject - the ones that got through the editorial sieve made her look far more friendly and approachable. This one was for me :)
Technical Info
The scene was lit with continuous lights that we use for video production. The Key light is a Kino Flo 400 placed camera left. The edge highlight is a Photon Beard Highlighter 110 placed to the left of, and behind, Rikke, and the backdrop is lit with an Arri Fresnel 300 spot.
The Kino and Photon Beard are both great to work with - they're flourescent tubes that are naturally diffused and give off a lovely light. The Arri is a tungsten bulb that runs at a different colour temperature, which is why you can see some strange reddy/blue casting on the backdrop. The wall it was shot against is actually a light grey ... I like the way the Arri turns it into that blue colour when it's picked up by the camera sensor.

love, that comes to me, and being
in my heart, goes back to you ...
I guess it is that, ...

This is a 100% acrylic scarf woven on a rectangle loom. I'm using up a stash of chunky-weight knitting yarns, and this one turned out great.
Fort Sam Houston Museum
For history or military fans, Fort Sam Houston Museum is a great museum to visit. Focusing on the history of the U.S. Army from its arrival in Texas in 1845 to today, the exhibits are filled with everything from flintlock rifles and old photographs to automatic weapons and uniforms. War videos play on a continuous loop throughout the day and give visitors a glimpse of what the military has done on our country's behalf. Visitors can also wander among the artillery pieces displayed outside.
Gerald just got back from a week in San Francisco and he was telling us all about his trip. I had just received my fluorescent continuous lighting kit from Adorama. I bought a simple "starter" kit to play with. It included two 70 watt fluorescent (350 watt each equiv.) lamps with softboxes and stands.

I also purchased a couple of fluorescent 105 watt (500 watt equiv.) lamps. This photo was shot with one 105 watt lamp in a softbox -- single light source. I just sat there and shot while Gerald told his Mom all about his trip.
