The basta.. i mean the poor overworked, underpaid dears of the SNCF etc. are on strike again today.
Well, it's understandable. In a desperate attempt to stop the country from going completely bankrupt HNG (His Nicolas' Government) are trying to raise the minimum retirement age to 62 so that there are still some of this ageing population around to pay for all the other retirees' golden years.
Trouble is, the train workers only have to work up till 50 or 55, depending on how dangerous their job is. Those who choke on the toxic fumes, year in, year out, as they stoke the coal-burning furnaces of the TGV and the Paris metro obviously deserve some compensation, after all.
Not to mention the intrinsic danger to the index fingers of all those courageous drivers as they push the 'go' and 'stop' buttons, day after day, in their cramped little cabins...
And then there are the passengers. The 'customers'. The 'clients', as they would like us to see ourselves. We're looking forward to a real fun day today, as we try to squeeze into the '1 train in 5' which they claim will be running on some lines. Shame I'm claustrophobic...

Out the archives, been a sick, overworked, mom to an Em with 2 spiderbites in one month that required antibiotics and not enough Flickr time! Making a comeback, will catch up soon.
So, I haven't been around here much (at all) these months.. I've been terribly busy with work! Even this picture is of something to do with it, just very unobviously..
It's not that I've ceased in my photo taking interests (I've even got new lenses, and a flash), but that I haven't had time to upload anything! Even now, I should really be doing work, but I'm working from home today, so I figure I'd give myself a few minutes of a break..
Would I love to be more active on flickr? Yes! I just hope after next week, my job lightens up..
You see, preparing for National Day is no small feat, and it's keeping everyone on their toes.. Some of my work can be found on the NDP flickr site, but they aren't all very good (we are instructed to go for more quantity than quality, and my night photography is greatly inexperienced)..
I hope to get my pictures up soon - there are a lot - and return to my quest for flickr domination!
So until then, have some flickr bokeh!
<3
My pictures can be found on 'NDPeeps'!
(not my idea for a site name)
And you can watch the parade via online streaming!
Trust me, this year is good, and everyone, everywhere should see it!

To learn and grow in life and art it's necessary to give yourself permission to make a mess, to overwork things... to see what happens. It's the only way to keep from getting too comfortable in one spot. You may not like it, and that's okay. (This is a piece of paper from an old portrait that had colours I didn't like. Freedom.)
I painted this outside sitting beside one of the planters in my garden. Not very inspired, but a fun exercise, nonetheless. I can't seem to shake the murkiness my paintings have lately--I suppose it's related to the humidity and such, but there really never has been such ugly layering in my paintings before...overworked looking, but not overworked!
1. Sad and frustrated due to poverty/being overworked and underpaid.
2. Splurged a little and got new clothes and shoes (no need to point out the irony of
spending money during personal financial crisis!)
3. Wore new outfit and necklace to an interview for a part time job, and things are
looking up! (Now I'll be even more overworked, but am actually excited about part
time job!)
For FGR- and A Story in Three Parts.
While I was out with the Santa Cruz Sketchers in Aptos Village yesterday, I did way more chatting and playing with art equipment than actual painting. All I did on site was the lettering AND it wasn't until I got home that overworked the rest. sigh. #worldwatercolorgroup #santacruzsketchers #aptosvillage #aptos
Pierced Copper Dragonfly
Looking out the window with her coffee in hand, Julia had a sudden urge to go outside. The sun shone warmly and the dew was evaporating right before her eyes. Spring seemed everywhere today. She glanced back at her computer-work was piled up and the curser was blinking expectantly.
"Work can wait" she thought as she ran upstairs to change. Pulling on jeans and a v-neck sweater, she glanced in the mirror. It had been a tough winter-she had been feeling overworked and overwhelmed-and it was beginning to show on her face. She needed something new to keep her feeling alive. "This will do it" she thought as she reached for the new dragonfly necklace she had purchased. As she headed out the door she was lost in thought, fingering the pendant-it symbolized a fresh start: warmer weather, some freedom, new beginnings. Her feet carried her out to her mailbox where she promptly crashed into someone-"oh sorry!" she began,looking up for the first time into a set of perfect teeth in a sheepish, grinning tanned face.
"No, I'm sorry," he said, "I saw you coming and should have said something. I'm Sean, your new Postman. Nice necklace."
This might just be a very good spring, she mused.
Indigenous People's Day - October 12, 2020
Mission San Rafael Arcángel
San Rafael, California
On Indigenous People's Day, local native Coast Miwoks and allies rallied in front of the statue of Junípero Serra at Saint Raphael’s Catholic Church in Marin County, CA, calling for the removal of the statue and acknowledgment of Serra's brutal legacy. After numerous impassioned speeches, the statue was covered with red paint and ropes were used to pull the statue down. Similar actions had been taken across the state and country in recent months in a push to end the practice of glorifying brutal colonizers and proponents of slavery.
Serra was a Spanish Franciscan priest who is credited with establishing and overseeing the California Mission system that brutally enslaved the thriving native populations that had inhabited the land for thousands of years. The Spanish missions not only stole indigenous lands but sought to erase native languages and cultures. During this period (l769-1834), 37,000 California natives died at missions as a result of disease, starvation, overwork or mistreatment. Despite this history, statues honoring Junípero Serra have been erected all over California, and over considerable protest, Pope Francis conferred sainthood on Serra on September 23, 2015.
Following the toppling of this statue, 5 people were charged with felony vandalism at the request of the church (which also unsuccessfully sought a charge of 'hate crime'). 4 women identify as indigenous and 2 as baptized in the Catholic church.

From the rally:
Lucina Vidauri, Coast Miwok descendent, spoke at the rally, “Serra’s life mission was to convert the California natives. The entire [California Mission] system was designed to convert native populations. That meant imprisonment, enslavement and murder. And this guy was the leader of it all. Indigenous customs and traditions were banned from this very mission. [...] They were not allowed to speak their language, they were not allowed to speak their traditions, they were not allowed to do their traditional ways. They were made ‘civilized’. Right here in this church. There was a lot of tragedy.”
Dean Houghlin, Coast Miwok descendent and chair of the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin: “Why does this colonization and this genocide continue with this statue that represents the enslavement, the murder, the child abuse, the desecration of our ancestor’s bones, the desecration of our land. [...] So I ask you again to please stand with us, with me and my relatives, my family, the descendants of the people that were enslaved here and that actually built this mission. [...] To change this so it doesn’t continue. So that we can heal. So all of us can have a sense of possibility. A sense of compassion for each other. This is not the Coast Miwok tradition to dishonor life.”
On the occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant, Creative Time presented a large scale public project by Kara Walker. A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby is a massive, sugar-coated sphinx-like woman - "A homage to the unpaid and overworked artisans who have refined our wweet tastes from the cane fields to the kitchens of the New World."
The exhibit was from May 10 to July 6, and I was able to visit it on 06.29.14.
lol, that's just another version I did because of what bubble jet said. This version was my original plan for the shot but I didn't do before because of the poor lighting here. I overcame that disadvantage by the most simple solution, I made the lighting lol. Sure it's not as dramatic as sunlight in the other version but it looks nice and more detailed to me =D
Thanks for making me overwork bubble, lol
Sunday January 17, 2010 - final night of the season before shutoff. I overworked myself this year getting pictures.

Sticker seen in Augusta, Georgia. It seems to have said "Educated modern slave, overworked and underpaid".
or the Marvelous Sugar Baby
an Homage to the unpaid and overworked Artisans who have refined our Sweet tastes from the cane fields to the Kitchens of the New World on the Occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant
Kara Walker exhibit at the abandoned Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn. Kara Walker’s awesome and massive sugar sculpture – “A Subtlety” - AKA the Marvelous Sugar Baby. The sign on the wall of the factory notes: “A Subtlety” is an homage to the unpaid and overworked artisans who have refined our sweet tastes from the cane field to the kitchens of the new world on the occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant. Of course, the centerpiece of “A Subtlety” is the enormous female sphinx, created from white sugar. Also impressive are the basket-carrying children sculptures surrounding the sphinx. The children sculptures are made of resin coated in molasses. The sugar from the molasses has melted and pooled at the bottom and on parts of the figures.
El Altar is an extinct volcano on the western side of Sangay National Park in Ecuador. Converted from RAW and sightly overworked in PS for better contrasta and sharpness.
Fabriano Acquarello 140# CP, Albrecht Durer WC pencils.
The background managed to get away from me! Way overworked. Partly the paper? As Kate has mentioned, this paper doesn't seem as forgiving for WC pencils as the Senneleir I was using earlier. I should have ignored the left sun drenched leaf. It definitely wants the attention!!
This is what I consider OVERWORKED and not well done,,, the lines are not composed properly,, which irritates me.. the forms are misaligned and it is just a REAL BAD DRAWING!

this is only up here because it shows how i look NOTHING like "myself" without make up, or my hair done, or a bra. this is what i look like unless i'm expecting someone or going somewhere. otherwise i look like this. charming, don't you think? ;)

I like how this turned out but really regret having the border so dark and close in. It feels claustrophobic and would have looked a lot better with a light border further off. Learning not to overwork stuff, embrace negative space, and allow for breathing room is an ongoing process (in art + life...)
When I choose this photo I was really attracted by his expression. His Eyes are so beautiful and he really seems happy. I never used a photo like this so I was a bit scared about how I could make it with my style without ruining it. Unfortunately I don’t feel I did a good job. I think I overworked it… It’s too full. I don’t remember my feelings in that period when I made it but probably I wasn’t very well. And even if you can still recognize the original photo I can’t really feel good about the result. His face is not how I wanted. I feel like I ruined it. Maybe it’s just my impression…
(I'm sorry for the quality of the artwork. My overworking seems to have some problems with scanners and the size of Flickr really can't show all the details of it. Sorry...)

Captain Frederic John Walker, CB, DSO and three Bars, RN (3 June 1896 – 9 July 1944) (his first name is given as Frederick in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biographyand some London Gazette entries) was a British Royal Navy officer noted for his exploits during World War II. Walker was the most successful anti-submarine warfare commander during the Battle of the Atlantic and was known more popularly as Johnnie Walker (after the whisky).
He was born in Plymouth, the son of Frederic Murray and Lucy Selina (née Scriven) Walker. He went to Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, where he excelled. First serving on the battleship Ajax as a midshipman, Walker as a sub-lieutenant went on to join the destroyers Mermaid and Sarpedon in 1916 and 1917 respectively. Following the end of the First World War, Walker joined the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship Valiant. He married Jessica Eileen Ryder Stobart, with whom he had three sons and a daughter. he died aged 48 from a cerebral thrombosis thought to have been brought on by overwork and exhaustion.
Ah start-of-term, it's always good to get out of the office during this time to avoid getting overworked.

When I was a kid, I drooled over my rich classmates' Nike Airs. So, when I grew up I had to get me some.... even though I know they may have been made by underage, overworked and underpaid Chinese sweatshop workers.
And we conclude our tour of the base state of the Richmond house with a view of the outside on the south, nicely complementing the aerial photography. I hope you've enjoyed our tour, and I look forward to hosting you again for Chapter 2, the Renovation Photoblog, starting in May, and ending sometime shortly before my death of overwork in 2028.
