I just scanned some film from my birthday so I will be posting photos from that glorious day over the next few days. My friend Alli got to meet this sweet newlywed couple on the Metro. They had just moved to L.A. and hadn't had the best experience but I think seeing us changed their impression! I really think it's important to love your city. The good, the bad and the ugly. Can you imagine the impact it can have?
I can.
Happy Saturday!

It is easy to make new friends over the internet, but you do not get to meet them very often “in real life”, as they say, especially if they live in a far away country. I was fortunate enough that my friend Janet, an American college professor of art history and a specialist of the Middle Ages, could come to France for a worldwide, week-long congress in June 2024, and even luckier that the congress in question was held in the city of Lyon, a few kilometers from my home.
Thus, we finally met in person, and since she had some free time during that week, I arranged for us to visit a couple of Romanesque churches she had never heard of before but that were still worthy of our interest. We spent a nice day navigating the small roads of the départements of Isère and Drôme, south of Lyon, stopped at roadside fresh produce vending stalls that delighted her, had lunch in a nice restaurant tucked away in the hills, and more to the point, visited two churches: Saint-Romain-de-Surieu and Chantemerle-les-Blés.
That name, Chantemerle-les-Blés, which literally means Singing Blackbird-by-the-Wheatfields, sounds too poetic, charming and rustic to be true, yet it is...
Dedicated to Our Lady, the church sits on a hilltop, and there is no choice but to climb steep stairs to reach it on its platform, with precious little space to move around the monument, which doesn’t make it impossible to take outside photographs... I had to cheat with the wide-angle tilt-shift lens to try and squeeze in a decent shot of the façade!
Originally, a simple rectangular basilica existed here, probably around the 6th or the 8th century. It may have been built over an even older place of worship, probably Pagan. The church was can still admire today was erected around Year 1000 for its oldest parts, and construction lasted for almost a century, even though the church is small. It is first mentioned in writing in 1164. At that time, it was a priory of the cathedral church of Le Puy-en-Velay, and therefore managed by its canons, or their local delegates.
The decoration on this church is particularly noteworthy, as we will see. Listed as a Historic Landmark in 1905, it has been restored several times, including in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The length of the nave, looking to the West. The chancel and apse are elevated owing to the terrain, and so the church was made high enough (we saw that raising of the walls on the façade shot uploaded yesterday) to accommodate a tribune set against the western gable wall.
Hi everyone,
I think I should make it official and wanted to let you all know that I will not be posting any more photos, as life has taken me on a different path.
I am ever so grateful for your friendships and presence over the years. And to Flickr as well! Take care everyone. And I'll make sure to visit once in a while!

i was just featured on the explore page for the very first time yesterday and this, even though a lot of pictures get on the explore page, is a very big accomplishment for me. it motivated me even more to keep going. i drew some concepts and i'm having a photo shoot with someone over the weekend (with a solid idea !!). it feels good.
anyway, so i realized that i'm going to be start using flickr more often and seeing that you didn't have to scroll very far to see my REALLY old stuff (the embarrassing stuff) I decided to make a plethora of pictures public. they don't have titles, but i'll probably get around to it. maybe.
in other news, this photo turned out less than i wanted but it's no surprise considering i suck at self portraits. i'll improve someday. also, my mom tried to come in in the middle of it and i didn't want her to so she threatened to take away my photography. oh, mother.

Life continues to move on and I am now sixty…how did I get there so fast?…the reality is I have! I moved into my sixth decade of life earlier this year and it has given me a renewed outlook on my cross-dressing. I do have regrets in my life, the biggest being my self imposed suppression of my transgender self. Why did I hold back? The answer is I was not brave enough. I feared the reaction of others, I feared losing my family life and I feared losing my income. I just caved in and tried to ignore it.
Well, back in the year 2000, 19 tears ago, at the age of forty one I began to cross-dress as a woman. I could no longer suppress my inner desire to appear as a woman. It caused a lot of upset with my family and though I am now fortunate enough to engage in cross0dressing, it is a compromise in regard to the opportunities I have. My family tolerate it but my moments as my female alter-ego are rare. I have no wish to jeopardise my family life and work so I accepted the limited opportunities. I do adore becoming Helene and though it is rare it is always an amazing and rather emotional experience.
Now I am older and less hung up about my cross-dressing I find myself being more confident and at ease with it and having more fun when I do dress up as a woman. Last night I had a sudden opportunity to become Helene again ad I totally went for it. i was somewhat tired and not quite as focused as I would have liked, not to mention very much out of practice, but I intended to enjoy my time en femme.
Having emerged from the bath with freshly shaved, legs, chest and arms I enjoyed plucking my eyebrows into a better shape and excitedly sat down to start putting on my make-up. Part of my excitement was a new piece of equipment I purchased in December purely for my make-up application. I’m sure many of us struggle with getting a real world foundation coverage because of our beard shadows. The dreaded beard shadow , even after a super close shave, can feel smooth but the skin is bumpy due to the underlying hair follicles and this also leaves a visible shadow (unless you are fortunate enough to have light hair colour).
I usually employ all the techniques to neutralise the beard shadow cover then several layers of heavy foundation and can usually get a successful coverage result but it is rather heavy looking compared to real women. I had been looking into trying to get smoother coverage but without the thick layer result. On my male face after decades of shaving I could never get the look I hoped for ski coverage on my face.
I have new aspirations to spend more time out in the real world as a woman. I do love make-up and enjoy wearing it but to be amongst women and men in public in daylight had me wanting nice smooth makeup coverage that successfully disguised my shadows but did not look like a heavy coating on my face. As I say, I love wearing make-up and when I cross-dress in private I have no issue with wearing heavy coatings of foundation at all. For the real world though, I realised I need to up my game if I was to be perceived as a female when out and about.
This led me to look at applying foundation using an airbrush with a small air compressor. The look and finish from foundation applied with an airbrush is very good. I bought a kit and some silicone foundation for use with the airbrush and I have been biding my time to give it a go.
Last night was my chance. I set it all p, watched the manufacturers tutorials and set about spraying the foundation onto my face. It is a very different feel to the traditional method of applying foundation. It is a far more subtle approach. as you gradually build up the coverage using a light misted spray and moving in small circular motions.
I had to laugh when I began as I soon realised this required a degree of practice and my initial spraying efforts were somewhat inept. I was getting the hang of it but I definitely need a lot more practice and..patience! You cannot rush it. I think once one gets competent with it it is possible to apply the foundation considerably faster than my first effort.
Despite my poor technique I was amazed by the coverage, your skin looks amazing! It’s like a flexible, durable, long lasting coverage but none of the thick make up appearance. My skin is unavoidably bumpy around my upper lip, cheeks, chin and neck area but this cover was unlike any previous efforts and the realisation that this was going to work for real world trips in public made me dizzy with excitement. Even on m y sixty year old skin it was as smooth as I was ever going to look.
I bought the Airbase HD kit, which is bigger than I expected. In hindsight I may have been better with the compressor and airbrush alone. The HD kit comes in a se with a lighted mirror. There are alternative kits from other manufacturers such as DInair and Luminess.
If you are serious about trying to look female and avoiding the heavy coverage look during the day then I can recommend using airbrush foundation application. I will admit I have decided to book myself onto a one day training course in the late Spring in order to learn how to use it well. As I am obsessed with trying to look as female as I possibly can I think the cost of the training is a god personal investment as was purchasing the airbrush kit.
I took a lot of selfies last night and one accompanies this narrative. It was rather fabulous to be appearing as a woman once more :-)
