An elderly man is focused on crafting traditional tools inside a rustic workshop. The warm afternoon light highlights his skilled hands and worn materials.
The Future of Romanticism
The skyline stretched before them, glowing in a kaleidoscope of neon blues and golds, a pulsating organism of light and technology. The towering dome across from their terrace blinked with ads seamlessly melded with art, its design a fusion of engineering precision and opulent creativity. This was their city; they knew it as a declaration that no height was unattainable, and no boundary was unbreakable.
The man rested his hands on the table's edge, his posture deliberate, almost rehearsed. His tailored jacket was woven with subtle patterns of light, a fabric that signalled wealth and power. His face, however, betrayed none of the pride his clothing implied. Instead, his eyes lingered on the horizon, searching for something he couldn’t quite name. His mind flickered between the cold ledger of their accomplishments—networks built, markets dominated, cities shaped—and the vague dissatisfaction that had crept into his soul like a shadow. "We’ve done it all, haven’t we?" he thought, in pride and disappointment.
She looked up from her glass, her features soft but distant. Her flawless, minimalist dress glowed faintly against the ambient lights around them. It was not the kind of attire for someone bound to the past. Yet, as she met his thought, something unspoken revealed in her eyes. We are climbing the same ladder over and over again. What else is left? Her every movement was a touch of perfection — her vitality, longevity, efficiency of decision-making, and lasting beauty. When does more stop being enough?

On occasion, just before bedtime, I get this urge to break out my macro lens and shoot random objects on my nightstand, hence this is my self proclaimed "nightstand series." Last eve I realized that I had not completed our ring shots, so the Mrs. handed over her wedding and engagement rings, and I tossed in the pearls I got her for our 3rd wedding anniversary last year. Thanks my dear.
I shot my macro this way: Nikon D40 with Sigma 105mm, my pillow as a tripod, f/3.2, 1/60 sec, ISO 400, natural lighting (which is heresy considering I just bought a new Nikon SB-600). Subjects were sitting on a Kleenex facial tissue. Stock image adjusted in Photoshop (Levels, Curves, Highlight/Shadow, 25% Desaturated).
Nancy is going to model "Mary's Garden" in the November fashion show. Luckily she also lives nearby and can come over for fittings frequently. The hat is completed, but I have since changed the ribbon sunflower straps into plant tag straps.
The bodice is made completely of recycled plastics: plant tags and 1 lid to a butter tub. The lime green edging is old wool yarn--I used the common blanket stitch. I used my wood burning tool to make tiny holes along the bodice edges for the yarn to go through. A lot of patience and time spent.
Now I must work on the skirt, which will be made of blue newspaper plastic bags, and green astroturf. The ensemble is 99% made of recycled plastics and plastic household materials...all found, and upcycled. Nothing bought, nothing new except for 29 cent flip flops for Nancy the model...from a end of summer sale at Micheals arts and Crafts. even those will be changed and embellished with recycled trash to become a 4th accessory.
The other 2 required accessories are finished, and shown throughout the flickr set titled "Mary's Garden" Fashion Ensemble ~ Dress & 3 Accessories"
Please visit this set and others for the more of my design and production using trash and recycled garbage.

In the heart of Scandinavia, amidst the whispering pines and the gentle caress of the northern wind, there unfolds a tale of earth and artistry. This series captures the essence of a young potter, whose hands breathe life into clay, shaping it into forms as ancient as time and as fresh as a morning dew. From the initial caress of raw earth to the triumphant emergence of creation, we trace her journey through moments of passion, introspection, and serene completion. Welcome to "Clay Whispers: A Potter's Journey," a visual ode to the timeless dance between creator and creation.
Poem:
In the grasp of her hands, clay turns and twists,
Ancient whispers caught in modern mist.
Beneath her fingers, stories unfold,
Of warmth, of courage, bold yet untold.
In the glow of the kiln, dreams take flight,
Shadows dance in the flickering light.
Each piece, a fragment of her soul's song,
In clay, she finds where her heart belongs.
As the wheel spins, so do the days,
In her art, the echo of nature's ways.
With every touch, a world comes alive,
In the dance of clay, her spirit thrives.
Haiku:
Clay beneath her touch,
Whispers of earth, air, and fire,
Art in motion blooms.

Design Thinking often works to deliver predetermined outcomes and as an general operating principle it should also directly or indirectly stimulate the design of emergent value within a system, the apex of such value is the natural emergence of unity.
"This is my body
broken, tattered,
mocked, scorned, wipe
away...
"How I wish I could, in
a torrential downpour take
the too muchness and put
it someplace else where the
Rubenesque is of value,
the zaftig is abundance of
heart, voluptuary is
revered...
"This is my body..
broken....
"My breasts I have
always liked while I
abhored my hips.
"My breast have that
mutuality groove
down pat
Give pleasure,
receive pleasure,
Be pleasure,
Know pleasure
intimately -
they offer the
not so secret
pathway to
everything else"
"Wouldn't it be
wonderful? If my wide
hips were wanted - there
there that part there
looked at with wonder?
"I remember a drunk man
once drawled, 'I like
your hips' and I thought
'that is the oddest thing
I have ever heard...
because don't you know
they are unlikeable
and unappealing?"
This is my body..
Broken...
This is not a great shot in technical sense, but the experience was quiet surreal …
I was really lucky : I got to experience the synchronous fireflies at Smokies for two years in a row. For the first year I got the tickets (this was the first year when they introduced the lottery for the viewing). For the second year I was not that lucky – the tickets got sold in minutes, from when it was opened up online.
As I was exploring to see if anyone would share or other alternate options – realized that booking a camp site at Elkmont campground, during the same days – would grant access to the trails. After trying few days, was able to grab a reservation as someone else cancelled. This even had an added advantage – It gets you within a mile of the Elkmont Viewing area. Even more, one could hike up the entire trail to avoid the crowds, much beyond the set area for lottery viewing. Just make sure to carry the campground reservation.
This shot is a composite of 164 shots (22 minutes) and around 8 sec exposure for the foreground. Thanks to the Sony A7S II that I was able to rent. This low light monster was able to capture so much of details even in the faint moon light !
The 70% gibbous moon was not conducive for the fireflies, but that did help light up the nearby stream :)
The hustling stream, chilling breeze, dark of the night, the little bit moon lit forest, walking with my son, by the trail into the Smokies Forest & Fireflies along the path – it was indeed a surreal experience !

Design Thinking comprehends using concepts in a two step process: the first step is to recognize that concepts of a higher level than people already have cannot be understood through a definition alone, but rather only through a collection of examples; and the second step is to recognize that in most theories and fields of discipline the examples that are most often used are other concepts, hence we need to repeat step one.

Now, on to the last accessory and the Plastic Bag Finale!
it took 3 and a half hours to paint. Here is a process picture that Danny took. We were up in the loft of T.Ruth Artspace Gallery, getting ready to do the shoot downstairs.
Blogged here: lucidrose.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-bodypainting-shoot-pla...
Natura in technicolor
watercolor on Arches paper (34 x 71 cm - 13,4"x27,9")
Sometimes I can't explain how it is that certain colors spill on the paper...
I am overwhelmed, and I just can't control them: is it because of their lack of discipline, or because of my little authority?
The scamps that overcame me here are the "mischievous" aureolin yellow, quinacridone gold, cadmium red, burnt sienna, perylene green, cobalt blue, French ultramarine... and a bit of capricious white gouache!
Talvolta non so dire com'è che certi colori mi si riversano sulla carta...
è che mi prendono la mano, e non riesco proprio a controllarli: mancanza di disciplina da parte loro, o di autorità da parte mia?
I monelli che mi hanno sopraffatto qui sono i "tremendi" giallo aureolina, oro di quinacridone, rosso di cadmio, terra di siena bruciata, verde di perilene, blu cobalto, oltremare francese... e una gouache bianca un po' capricciosa!
The bracelet is completely from recycled repurposed common household items:
Milk jug, plastic medicine bottles and caps, old nylon seam binding, a metallic gift package band, and 1 sharpie marker.
This is the 3rd accessory completed for Mary's Garden. The other 2 required accessories are finished, and shown throughout the flickr set titled ""Mary's Garden" Fashion Ensemble ~ Dress & 3 Accessories"
