Alright, first photo of a month full of photos! Self portraits have always been both my weak spot in photography and something I've wanted to improve, because who doesn't want nice photos of themselves, right? :P
I'm hoping that this experiment will help me improve my skill and technical knowledge of photography, improve my ability to pose and make facial expressions in photos that are flattering (because I am just the queen of awkward smiles and bleh faces, dear lord!), and obviously improve my ability to take self portraits.
I regret being lazy today and not putting on makeup until late in the day, I've missed the time to use natural light because of this. But it turned out alright, I think. I had to go back to improve my makeup after taking a few shots because I tend to rush my makeup and it still looks okay, but it looks better with a little more time put into it.
I don't know if I'm gonna do a mini blog like this each day of taking photos, but I think it's important to chart my thoughts at the time of taking the self portrait as another way to 'chart' my process.
La ironía me acompaña
al empezar cada día,
Y simulo una sonrisa
que daña mi autoestima.
No hay forma de escapar.
Es mi realidad
y aún sin quererlo,
soy una falsedad.
Y ocupo el maquillaje,
que nadie quiere usar.
El maquillaje en mi, oculto,
maquillaje de falsedad.
The irony with me
to start each day,
And simulates a smile
it damages my self esteem.
There is no way to escape.
It is my reality
and even unwittingly,
I am a falsehood.
And let the makeup,
anyone want to use.
The makeup on me, hidden,
makeup of falsehood.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by G. D. & D. It was posted in Haslemere, Surrey on Thursday the 3rd. March 1910 to:
Miss P. Harrington,
14, Myrtle Villas,
Bright Hill,
Guildford,
Surrey.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Polly,
I shall be pleased if you
can make my skirt.
I shall be coming up on
Tuesday March 8th. by
the 11.22 train if I can
catch it. If not, the 1.28.
Give my love to all.
From Emmie."
A Paris Accord
So what else happened on the day that Emmie posted the card?
Well, on the 3rd. March 1910, Morocco signed accords with France in Paris, permitting the French to occupy Casablanca and Oujda in return for military training, as part of the refinancing of loans.
Stock in Sears
Also on that day, stock in Sears began trading for the first time on the New York Stock Exchange.
Joseph Yablonski
The 3rd. March 1910 also marked the birth in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania of Joseph Yablonski, UMWA President. Joseph was murdered in Clarksville, Pennsylvania at the age of 59 by his rival in 1969.
Joseph Albert "Jock" Yablonski was an American labor leader in the United Mine Workers in the 1950's and 1960's known for seeking reform in the union and better working conditions for miners.
In 1969 he challenged Tony Boyle for the presidency of the union and was defeated. He asked for a Department of Labor investigation, claiming that the election was fraudulent. In addition, Yablonski filed suit against the UMWA on five different charges related to fraud.
On December 31, 1969, three hitmen fatally shot Yablonski, his wife Margaret, and his 25-year-old daughter Charlotte, as they slept in the Yablonski home in Clarksville, Pennsylvania. The bodies were not discovered until the 5th. January 1970 by one of Yablonski's sons, Kenneth.
The day after the bodies of the Yablonskis were discovered, 20,000 miners in West Virginia walked off the job in a one-day strike, protesting against Boyle, whom they believed was responsible for the murders.
An investigation found that the killings had indeed been ordered by Boyle, who had demanded Yablonski's death on the 23rd. June 1969, after a meeting with Yablonski at UMWA headquarters degenerated into a shouting match.
In September 1969, UMWA executive council member Albert Pass received $20,000 from Boyle (who had embezzled the money from union funds) to hire gunmen to kill Yablonski. He hired Paul Gilly, an out-of-work house painter, and two drifters, Aubran Martin and Claude Vealey.
The murder was ordered to be postponed until after the election, however, to avoid suspicion falling on Boyle. After three aborted attempts to murder Yablonski, the killers completed the assassinations, deciding to kill everyone in the house. They left so many fingerprints behind that the police identified and captured them within three days.
A few hours after Yablonski's funeral, several of the miners who had supported Yablonski met in the basement of the church where the memorial service was held. They met with attorney Joseph Rauh and drew up plans to establish a reform caucus within the United Mine Workers.
A total of seven persons were convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder; two of the assassins were sentenced to death for first-degree murder.
The Department of Labor completed its investigation, aided by the FBI, and won a suit to overturn the 1969 election by 1972. A new election was held in December of that year, and a reform candidate elected, defeating Boyle.
Boyle was indicted in 1973 for the three Yablonski murders; he was convicted in 1974 and received three life sentences. The union made important reforms.
Kittens Reichert
Also born on that day was the American silent film child actress Kittens Reichert, in Yonkers, NY.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Reichert, she was born Catherine Alma Reichert, but was nicknamed "Kittens", which she adopted as her stage name.
When she was 2 years old, Reichert was a stand-in for a film that was being made in Yonkers. Beginning in 1914, she played supporting juvenile roles to many of filmdom's biggest stars, including Theda Bara, Pauline Frederick and William Farnum.
Her career effectively ended when she was 9 in 1919 because her family did not want to move out to California, where the film industry had shifted, though she did make a further appearance in So's Your Old Man (1926), starring W. C. Fields.
In 1927, Reichert portrayed Hope Toombs in a Fiske O'Hara Players production of The Circus Girl at the New Warburton Theatre in Yonkers.
Reichert died in Louisville, Kentucky on the 11th. January 1990, at the age of 79.

Notable films of Kittens Reichert include:
-- The Eternal City (1915)
-- A Soldier's Oath (1915)

-- The Great Problem (1916)
-- The Fool's Revenge (1916)

At this month's Open MAKE: Tools event, visitors were invited to explore their own creativity with our four Featured Makers from around the Bay Area, who shared their art, ingenuity, and techniques.
Guests made needle-felted creatures with Moxie, created three-dimensional shapes by sewing sheets of fabric together with Judy Castro, fused plastic with clothes irons, used sewing needles and conductive thread to make circuits embedded in bracelets and badges, and used motors and other tools to take Light Painting to a whole new level.

We’re all familiar with upcycling by now and the fact that it isn’t just a new-fangled way to make your home individual. Re-upholstering an ornate chair to match your mood board or giving an antique wardrobe a lick of tasteful chalk based paint can really bring such dowdy items to life, here are some more unique ideas for inspiration from across the web.
Suitcases
You’ll have probably seen suitcases upcycled as chairs and coffee tables before but there are lots of other great ideas out there for upcycling suitcases including turning them into medicine cabinets, minibars and even pet beds.
Glass bottles
Turning wine bottles or ornate beer bottles into lampshades or vases and lanterns may seem a little passé but the effect is undeniably chic. If your house is minimal and urbane then this could be the upcycle for you.
Supermarket Pallets
Pallets can lend a really organic feel to a piece of décor and you can easily transform some pallets into a very pleasant bench, table or bed. So if you’re going for that rustic timbered look, pick up a few pallets.
Cards
Old cards can be repurposed in a number of ways, from upcycled playing card ornaments like gift tags and a wreath, to a mosaic style mirror made from discarded credit cards and place mats made from old business cards.
Cork
Instead of throwing away used wine corks you can collect them to make useful coasters or place mats and candle holders, or even a neat fob to bung in the ground and indicate your plants names.
Stepladders
An unused stepladder can be transformed into a corner bookshelf, which is both unusual and completely functional. Other similarly practical ideas include clothes racks, shoe racks and towel racks.

Here in Argentina we call "Panadero" to this little wind travelers. I wonder how are called in other places.
These aren’t easy to catch, specially on a windy day :D But when you catch one... it can “make your day”.
In that moment you think a wish, something really special, make a deep breath with that wish and blow it the Panadero to return to the air.
With this photograph I celebrate my 70 photos here in Flickr , an according to the Panadero, I want to make a wish in this special occasion :
I hope the Divine Love rebirth in every humble heart, to service a New Mankind with integrity, compassion and faith.
Off course, more wishes are allowed.

Pide un deseo
Aquí en Argentina llamamos “Panadero” a estos pequeños viajeros del viento. Me pregunto como los llamarán en otros lugares.
No son fáciles de agarrar, especialmente en uno de esos días ventosos :D Pero cuando agarras uno… ese puede ser tu día.
En ese momento piensas un deseo, algo realmente especial, das una buena bocanada de aire con tu deseo bien presente y liberas al Panadero para que retorne al aire.
Con esta fotografía celebro mis 70 fotos aquí en Flickr :D, y de acuerdo al Panadero, aquí va mi deseo en esta ocasión especial:
Espero que el Amor Divino renazca en cada corazón humilde, para servir a una Nueva Humanidad con integridad, compasión y fe.
This is Findus, he's based on a drawing that Julie made, unfortunately we lost it in the process. Findus is a hedghog builder, that's why he's wearing orange wellys and suspenders. His belly and the inside of his ears are soft pink.
