Let's just say that the most amazing day started with our travel mojo on the fritz.

“Colorful Fabric” — Colorful fabric on a rack in a San Francisco Bay Area shop.

This is a photograph of some fabric items on display at a store we passed while we were out photographing something entirely different. We took a short break from photography and entered to store to look at.. hats. And there by the entrance was a rack of these very colorful items. How could I resist?

I suppose there might be a few lessons in such a photograph. There are potential photographs everywhere, and if you have a camera with you and keep your eyes open, you just might spot something unexpected. And even when you have some particular subject in mind, it isn’t a bad idea to keep your options open and consider entirely different subjects.

G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.

(86/365) My Photo of the Day for Monday, September 5th!

I've fallen so far behind on these posts!

So precious.... I have yet to cut into it! This was made while in a class with Stacy Michell. She is an amazing local dye artist. She ships her fabric all over the world. Check out her site:

AUSTIN DARLING'S RAINBOW

Las Marianas es una localidad argentina del partido de Navarro, Provincia de Buenos Aires.

No muchos sabrán que el paisaje de fondo que utiliza León Gieco en la portada de su álbum “Bandidos Rurales” (tambien el video) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx_XyKo70d4

corresponde a Las Marianas, un pueblito tranquilo a 30 km de Navarro, cuyo acceso es un camino de tierra que contornea las vías de un ferrocarril que ya no funciona. Por él transitan a diario algunos de los 500 habitantes que la pueblan.

Fue fundada en el año 1908, un 29 de diciembre por Eduardo Vidal y lleva este nombre por un importante establecimiento ganadero del lugar. En sus orígenes, Las Marianas fue una zona pujante y giraba en torno a la estación de ferrocarril ya que a través de él, se desarrollaba su actividad comercial: acopiadores de cereal, productos de granja, apicultores y criadores de aves. También había importantes fabricas de crema, queso y manteca y numerosos tambos que le dieron vida a la zona.

Hoy es un pueblo tranquilo, su plaza principal arbolada junto a la que se levanta la capilla Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús, el bar-almacén El Recreo, el almacén y panadería El Porvenir, que funciona a leña y con equipamiento Siam Di tella, donde para epoca de reyes continúan preparando roscas (hace tanto que no escuchaba sobre esta tradición para reyes) son algunos de los iconos. No se pueden perder el pan casero y los pastelitos.

Tal vez no cuente con muchos puntos de interés para recorrer, pero su gente le da valor agregado a la visita, la cordialidad con la que tratan al visitante hace que se transforme en un verdadero viaje en el tiempo.

Las Marianas resulta una opción muy elegida por los amantes de Mountain-bike, como da cuenta los innumerables relatos que podrán encontrar en Internet, alguno de los cuales (www.alepolvorines.com.ar) sirve de guía para otros amantes: los del ferrocarril, que van en busca de las estaciones que ya en el olvido, solo están presente en la memoria de los viejos pobladores del lugar.corresponde a Las Marianas, un pueblito tranquilo a 30 km de Navarro, cuyo acceso es un camino de tierra que contornea las vías de un ferrocarril que ya no funciona.

Photo by Kim McCallum

This is the very first outfit I wore at KS23. First I wore it with flats during the day and then with boots for the evening and night.

It was Monday and not too many people had arrived for the conference so I basically hung around the hotel lobby greeting the few girls that had come and mingling with other guests in the hotel. My dear friend Kim, who had arrived in the same plane I did, was running some errands and had not turned pretty until later in the day. This photo was taken by her with her magical camera!

I had not practiced my makeup since last year and was insecure about how would I do. I also had doubts about the new wig that I had just received, from Raquel Welch, and had not tried on. At first I thought the color was too radish, but once on with makeup and all, I loved the results so much that I did not war any other wig during the whole week. I purchased this Steve Madden thigh-high boots several years ago but had not had a chance to wear them, as I did not bring them with me to Harrisburg last year. I loved how the outfit turned out altogether that I did not change for the night; it was day 1, and I was already one dress behind schedule LOL.

One thing that I honestly loved this time, was not wearing breast forms or hip pads. No forms meant also no bra with almost every dress. I did pick the clothes carefully so that the lack of hips will not be noticeable. As for breasts? Cristy in now officially a flat-chested girl and she is loving it! You have no idea how freed and more natural one feels! Even the touch of the fabric against your own natural skin is different! There is no going back for this old girl! I was able to get ready sooner and did not have finger nail mishaps wile putting on tight undergarments to keep the padding in place. You will be able to give your opinion and judge if it worked or not, as I keep posting and sharing my thoughts,

I will not follow a timeline for posting and will be mixing photos of me alone and with friends, while trying to give some background to the images. My time continues to be limited so I will include the Spanish translation whenever possible, but will likely focus on English.

Once again I encourage those who can come it to Keystone and have not make it yet, to do your best to come. It will mark your life!

119 Pictures in 2019 - #90. "Silky"

This piece of silky fabric is one of the oldest in my inventory - and it helped to define my three cardinal rules for fabric purchases, as it breaks all three:

1. Avoid fabric that is shiny - especially for backdrops

2. Avoid fabric that creases (makes for more work post-processing)

3. Avoid fabric with hard to clone patterns (see above)

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and used as a drape, this fabric is lovely.

Colors have not been enhanced. This is almost straight out of camera (only a little sharpening to assist the kit lens). These vibrant, colorful fabrics can be seen all over Cuzco, Peru.

I saw a collection of Liberty of London Fabrics showcased this way a couple of years ago out in blog world, and it inspired me to collect enough hoops to do the same thing with vintage fabrics for a display in my retail shop.

eBay purchase #2 - one of the two fabrics motivating me to bid on this auction

A bolt is a unit of measurement used as an industry standard for a variety of materials from wood to canvas, typically materials stored in a roll. The length is usually either 40 or 100 yards, but varies depending on the fabric being referred to, for example, a bolt of canvas is traditionally 39 yards. The width of a bolt is usually 45 or 60 inches, but widths may include 35–36”, 39”, 41”, 44–45”, 50”, 52–54", 58–60” and 66”, 72", 96", and 108".
