Tribute to Hollywood actress Barbara Nichols, painted on the 25th anniversary of her passing, 5 October 2001. Born in Queen's, New York, and a voluptuous blonde sex symbol of the 1950s, she was an actress adept at roles of comedy and pathos; sadly succumbing to a liver disease in her 40s.
On screen from 1956 to 1975.

Dujardin not only painted landscapes with Italian flair, but also large history paintings inspired by Italian examples. Here, the Apostle Paul towers above a group of sick people. When he heals a crippled man in the name of the Christian god, the onlookers take him to be the heathen god Mercury. Dujardin understood the art of using figural gestures to enhance the pathos and drama of a scene.
Rijks Museum - National Museum of Netherlands
Vision:
The Rijksmuseum links individuals with art and history.
Mission:
At the Rijksmuseum, art and history take on new meaning for a broad-based, contemporary national and international audience.
As a national institute, the Rijksmuseum offers a representative overview of Dutch art and history from the Middle Ages onwards, and of major aspects of European and Asian art.
The Rijksmuseum keeps, manages, conserves, restores, researches, prepares, collects, publishes, and presents artistic and historical objects, both on its own premises and elsewhere.
From 1800 to 2013
The Rijksmuseum first opened its doors in 1800 under the name ‘Nationale Kunstgalerij’. At the time, it was housed in Huis ten Bosch in The Hague. The collection mainly comprised paintings and historical objects. In 1808, the museum moved to the new capital city of Amsterdam, where it was based in the Royal Palace on Dam Square.
After King Willem I’s accession to the throne, the paintings and national print collection were moved to the Trippenhuis on Kloveniersburgwal, while the other objects were returned to The Hague. The current building was put into use in 1885. The Netherlands Museum for History and Art based in The Hague moved into the same premises, forming what would later become the departments of Dutch History and Sculpture & Applied Art.
The beginning
On 19 November 1798, more than three years after the birth of the Batavian Republic, the government decided to honour a suggestion put forward by Isaac Gogel by following the French example of setting up a national museum. The museum initially housed the remains of the viceregal collections and a variety of objects originating from state institutions. When the Nationale Kunstgalerij first opened its doors on 31 May 1800, it had more than 200 paintings and historical objects on display. In the years that followed, Gogel and the first director, C.S. Roos, made countless acquisitions. Their first purchase, The Swan by Jan Asselijn, cost 100 Dutch guilders and is still one of the Rijksmuseum’s top pieces.
Move to Amsterdam
In 1808, the new King Louis Napoleon ordered the collections to be moved to Amsterdam, which was to be made the capital of the Kingdom of Holland. The works of art and objects were taken to the Royal Palace on Dam Square, the former city hall of Amsterdam, where they were united with the city’s foremost paintings, including the Night Watch by Rembrandt. In 1809, the Koninklijk Museum opened its doors on the top floor of the palace.
A few years after Willem I returned to the Netherlands as the new king in 1813, the ‘Rijks Museum’ and the national print collection from The Hague relocated to the Trippenhuis, a 17th-century town-palace on Kloveniersburgwal, home to what would later become the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Much to the regret of the director, Cornelis Apostool, in 1820 many objects including pieces of great historical interest were assigned to the Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden [Royal Gallery of Rare Objects], which had been founded in The Hague. In 1838, a separate museum for modern 19th-century art was established in Paviljoen Welgelegen in Haarlem. Contrary to the days of Louis Napoleon, very few large acquisitions were made during this period.
Cuypers Cathedral
The Trippenhuis proved unsuitable as a museum. Furthermore, many people thought it time to establish a dedicated national museum building in the Netherlands. Work on a new building did not commence until 1876, after many years of debate. The architect, Pierre Cuypers, had drawn up a historic design for the Rijksmuseum, which combined the Gothic and the Renaissance styles. The design was not generally well-received; people considered it too mediaeval and not Dutch enough. The official opening took place in 1885.
Nearly all the older paintings belonging to the City of Amsterdam were hung in the Rijksmuseum alongside paintings and prints from the Trippenhuis, including paintings such as Rembrandt’s Jewish Bride, which had been bequeathed to the city by the banker A. van der Hoop. The collection of 19th-century art from Haarlem was also added to the museum’s collection. Finally, a significant part of the Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden, which had by then been incorporated into the new Netherlands Museum for History and Art, was returned to Amsterdam.
Renovations
Over the years, collections continued to grow and museum insight continued to expand, and so the Rijksmuseum building underwent many changes. Rooms were added to the south-west side of the building between 1904 and 1916 (now the Philips wing) to house the collection of 19th-century paintings donated to the museum by Mr and Mrs Drucker-Fraser. In the 1950s and 1960s, the two original courtyards were covered and renovated to create more rooms.
In 1927, while Schmidt-Degener was Managing Director, the Netherlands Museum was split to form the departments of Dutch History and Sculpture & Applied Art. These departments were moved to separate parts of the building after 1945. The arrival of a collection donated by the Association of Friends of Asian Art in the 1950s resulted in the creation of the Asian Art department.
The 1970s saw record numbers of visitors of almost one-and-a-half million per year, and the building gradually started to fall short of modern requirements.
‘Verder met Cuypers'
The current renovation reinstates the original Cuypers structure. The building work in the courtyards are removed. Paintings, applied art and history are no longer displayed in separate parts of the building, but form a single chronological circuit that tells the story of Dutch art and history.
The building is thoroughly modernized, while at the same time restoring more of Cuypers original interior designs: the Rijksmuseum has dubbed the venture ‘Verder met Cuypers‘ [Continuing with Cuypers]. The Rijksmuseum will be a dazzling new museum able to satisfy the needs of its 21st-century visitors!
Every year, the Rijksmuseum compiles an annual report for the previous year. Annual reports dating back to 1998 can be found here (in Dutch only). Reports relating to the years before 1998 are available in the reading room of the library.
O Museu Rijks é um dos maiores e mais importantes museus da Europa.É o maior dos Países Baixos, com acervo voltado quase todo aos artistas holandeses. As obras vão desde exemplares da arte sacra até a era dourada holandesa, além de uma substancial coleção de arte asiática.
Esse é o Rijksmuseum, o Museu Nacional dos Países Baixos. E aproveite, caro leitor, porque o Rijks esteve parcialmente fechado para reforma durante 10 anos – voltou a funcionar só em 2013. Ou seja, quem esteve em Amsterdam na última década não conheceu o Rijks, pelo menos não completamente.
Mas o quê tem lá? Muita coisa. Destaque para as coleções de arte e História holandesas. Os trabalhos dos pintores Frans Hals e Johannes Vermeer são alguns dos mais concorridos, mas imbatível mesmo é Rembrandt van Rijn, considerado um dos maiores pintores de todos os tempos. Se você não é um fã de museus de arte, mas faz questão de conhecer o trabalho desses grandes artistas, uma dica: assim que chegar ao Rijks, vá direto para a ala onde estão as obras-primas. Assim você vê o mais importante no início da visita, quando ainda está descansado e poderá dedicar o tempo necessário para essas obras.
A mais famosa delas é a “A Ronda Noturna”, de Rembrandt, uma obra que inspirou músicas, pinturas, filmes e até um flash mob. Quando o Rijks foi reaberto, artistas recriam a cena mostrada no quadro dentro de um shopping de Amsterdam. A ação está no vídeo abaixo e eu te garanto que vale a pena dar play.

Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
O Rijksmuseum é um museu nacional dos Países Baixos, localizada em Amsterdão na Praça do museu. O Rijksmuseum é dedicado à artes e história. Ele tem uma larga coleção de pinturas da idade de ouro neerlandesa e uma substancial coleção de arte asiática.
O museu foi fundado em 1800 na cidade da Haia para exibir a coleção do primeiro-ministro. Foi inspirado no exemplo francês. Pelos neerlandeses ficou conhecida como Galeria de Arte. Em 1808 o museu mudou-se para Amsterdã pelas ordens do rei Louis Napoleón, irmão de Napoleão Bonaparte. As pinturas daquela cidade, como A Ronda Nocturna de Rembrandt, tornaram-se parte da coleção.
Em 1885 o museu mudou-se para sua localização atual, construído pelo arquiteto neerlandês Pierre Cuypers. Ele combinou elementos góticos e renascentistas. O museu tem um posição proeminente na Praça do Museu, próximo ao Museu van Gogh e ao Museu Stedelijk. A construção é ricamente decorada com referências da história da arte neerlandesa. A Ronda Nocturna de Rembrandt tem seu próprio corredor no museu desde 1906. Desde 2003 o museu sofreu restaurações, mas as obras-primas são constatemente presentes para o público.
A coleção de pinturas inclui trabalhos de artistas como Jacob van Ruysdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer e Rembrandt e de alunos de Rembrandt.
Em 2005, 95% do museu está fechado para renovação, mas as pinturas da coleção permanente ainda estão em mostra em uma exibição especial chamada As Obras-primas.

I have been TAGGED by www.flickr.com/mail/72157623414373289 and thanks for the tag. You are an angel!!!!!!!!! You are showing Rosey and myself much about life .............
These are 10 random things about me:
1. I am Australian, 68 years young, and presently living in the Philippines. It is a beautiful country and I live at Ibabao, Cuenca, Batangas. It is very rural here, clean air, and lots of beautiful walks to do. It is also where I capture most of my flowers. I feel extremely blessed to be here at this time.
2. Flickr has become an incredibly enjoyable part of my life. I enjoy seeing other photostreams here, what my Flickr Contacts are up to and commenting is a favourite part of my journey here. There are some very special friends I have made on Flickr who are doing it really tough at present. Rosey and I ask that God bless these wonderful friends of ours and that His Healing will be on their bodies and souls now and for ever more and give them the strength, love, health and wisdom they need. And we also ask that God bless all our other friends here on Flickr too!!!!
3. Photography is a wonderful way to capture and express what I see as this beautiful world created by God for our enjoyment, especially the many flowers that are here and the people who make up this little community we live in and share.
4. God plays a very important part in my life. He answers prayers, has performed miracles in my life and being able to freely pray to Him is awesome. I feel sorry for the oppressed nations that cannot worship God for whatever reason. I have had some tough experiences in my life and with God's love and understanding, I have conquered them with His help. Each time a challenge comes along, it is a stepping stone for me to a bigger and better world, done with God's love and help!!!!
5. Rosey, my beautiful wife of nearly 4 years resides here with me. We met over the internet, I was in Australia, she was in Hong Kong. We do most things together, walk morning and evening. We sit side by side at our computers, she doing Facebook (Country Life, Farmville, Cooking, Fishville) while I download/edit my pics for Flickr and sort my pics up into different albums so I can access my pictures readily.
6. I have made many wonderful friends here on Flickr and the standard of photography here is absolutely awesome. Some of my friends are expressing their feelings through their photography. Some of these pics are simply stunning and awesome, all rolled into one, their own expressions of their very being, displayed for all to see, sometimes with raw emotion, other times great happiness, and I enjoy seeing/commenting on their pics; some are telling their 365 story and what a privilege to be invited along for the ride; sometimes this ride is full of fun, and sometimes it is full of pathos; thank you for having the courage to expose a part of your soul for me to witness; and all other contributions too.
7. Nature came into my life when I was around 22 years old. That represented God's love for this planet. His awesome creation did then, and still does, holds me in absolute awe of what He has created and this Creation is reflected in other photographers' contributions on Flickr.
8. My dear Mum celebrated being 100 years young last year at Claremont, Tasmania, Australia and I was lucky enough to be present and celebrate with her and my other brothers and sister and other family members and friends. What a momentous milestone and achievement for my Mum and a wonderful day was had by all. The highlight was receiving a card from the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II!!!!
9. Jesus came into my life when I pledged my life to Him 7 or so years ago now. I was baptised at Tin Can Bay in Queensland, Australia, in the sea and that was incredible. What joy to receive Christ in this way and pledge my love to Him. Praying has become a daily routine of mine. We celebrate Bible Study every night of the week in our household and pray for those in need of healing or help.
10. I married my beautiful wife, Rosey, on the shores of Tin Can Bay in Queensland in 2006. Our 4th Wedding Anniversary is coming up soon. We are both dedicated Christians, we attend Victory Church in Lipa City, Batangas Province, Philippines, and this is a very forward-thinking church, English service. We are both on the ushering team.
Thank you all for taking the time to read these. I am enjoying Flickr very much, the wonderful friends I have made here, and learning more and amore about others through their photography and their letters to me. We are on individual journeys and some of our journeys are hazardous and some are not. "Floating free in the river of God" is a good expression Rosey and I often use, that when the going gets really tough, pray to God and allow Him to work the miracles in our lives, rather than us endeavouring to solve our problems. This is what I have learned ..............................

Have you ever noticed this quaint little church in the San Francisco’s SOMA district? It is close to the Metreon and seems completely out of place amidst all the office buildings, but there is something proud and charming about the way it seems to stand unperturbed by the urban environment around it. It was a cold winter day when my brother and I popped in for a look and were shocked at how large it is inside. It felt like a little sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city.
This will be a tiny true story in a few minutes. I have to write it. It is going to have a sadder note than most of my stories, kind of a 2 or 3 hankie story, you might say. So, if you don't like any pathos in your stories, then stop right here. This picture will have the same story, but I will only submit one of these photo/stories to the various groups that like them. That way, I won't annoy the story groups, but my readers will get the story no matter which picture they click on.
The little girl on the guardrail represents me as a child. There are a few problems with her. One is I didn't have brown hair at the age of 5 or 6. I was blonde until age 9 or 10. Two is that my eyes are blue, and hers are not.. Three is that I didn't wear my hair in pigtails. Four is that I was tall, but not that tall. You might be asking yourself, "Self, then why on Earth do you think that represents you?" Well, she looks very sweet, as I did. She has rosy pink cheeks and a cute little smile, as I also did.. She likes bridges and did from a very young age. She looks very innocent. The main thing that helps her represent me as a little girl is her white blouse and red plaid skirt, which will be the main thing in my story, if you can endure the next 3 or 4 paragraphs first.
I knew my mother didn't touch me very often, but I didn't realize how bereft she was of warmth, giving and receiving hugs and so on until all these years later. Various bouts of poison oak I had were savage. I knew she had tried to prick each horrible blister of poison oak, not getting them all, but trying. She would then apply Calamine Lotion with little cotton Coty brand pads. She still didn't touch me, but she ministered to me. That was when I was 5 or 6. Later when I was 8, 9 and 10 and got other cases of infected Poison Oak, could barely see out of one eye, and my other eye was closed, she did not administer anything at all. She and my Dad left for work 25 miles away. They got home that evening and my mouth was swollen closed all but the tiniest amount. My parents heated Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup for me, and put it in a Waring Blender so I could manage to drink it through a straw. I shall not forget that. It was warm and comforting and tasted pretty good.
I had thought for most of my life that at least my mother must have held me and caressed me, bathed me, etc., when I was a baby and toddler. No, she held my hand a few times when we walked somewhere, but the family maid, Mildred, took care of me when I was a baby to age 3. After about age 3 and a half, I was left alone with 2 older brothers that my mother was fond of saying had hated me from the day I was born. The pictures of me with my mother show her positioning herself with my brothers, rather than me, or touching me but not close. When I had my own children she sort of held them out from her body, as if she wasn't quite sure what to do with them, or as if she felt they might infect her with something. .
Several times when she wanted me to look nice because company was coming, she curled my hair with a curling iron. She, herself, did not actually touch me. The curling iron surely did. It was so hot, and it burned my scalp. I don't believe she was trying to burn me, but she surely did. I would say "Ow" many times. Each time, she'd say "Sorry" but then she would do it again. I did look nice afterward, and have a picture of myself on our patio with my nice dress, Mary Janes (shoes) and my hard-won curls. There were no hugs.
Bath time involved her running the water and me getting in, and then her tossing about a cup of Tide detergent, the large chunky powdered kind, in the water. It didn't dissolve easily either. Very rough on children's skin! Then she left the room. There were other times when she was pretty cold, but they are not the reason for my story. I'm only telling about some of them; so that the one time she was very tender and warm will stand out for me and my readers as a banner moment in my childhood. I'm close to 70 now, and don't kid yourself, your childhood memories, impressions, etc. stay with you. at least mine did and do.
You probably thought I'd never tie this altogether, but I'm going to. There is one time, a time I cherish, that my mother, though not consciously trying to, was warm. What she was doing was so I would "look nice" for appearances at kindergarten or first grade, not because she had decided I needed some affection. I had on my little red plaid skirt with straps and a white blouse. My white blouse was rather carelessly tucked in, which made it look wrinkled. My mother reached up under my skirt and pulled my white blouse downward until it looked very smooth around my waist. To accomplish this maneuver, she sort of "walked" her hands around my tummy, tugging gently on my blouse until it looked neat as could be. Her hands were warm and gentle, so much so that I wished I could pull some of my blouse back out again; so she would gently tug, tuck and pat again. That's it! That's the whole story of why I like this big dolly with all her innocence, and her blouse that occasionally needs to be tucked in.
THE END
P. S. Most people that see her on the bridge, smile and wave. One lady even rolled her window down and wanted to know if I made her.

If poor old pony, with his sway back hadn't been so absolutely filthy and soaking wet, I would have flung my arms around him and given him a cuddle.
Just look at those goo-goo eyes!
Mr.Killen and I went out for the day as we had to go into Belfast 1) to buy his suit for the wedding 2) go see the latest Harry Potty Movie (very disappointed in this one and actually found it incredibly boring!).
As we had some time to spare we went over to Minnow Park and discovered the only thing worth photographing were the two ponies.
I definitely get twitchy if I am not photographing!
To all my friends in Queensland, Australia, my thoughts are with you. I spoke to my "second mum" in Brisbane for an hour just a little while ago and conditions are horrific. I adore Oz, but boy it can cause heartache.

Contexte artistique et historique
Le sculpteur et le Salon
Louis Petitot, élève de l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris et pensionnaire à la Villa Médicis à Rome, appartient à la génération de sculpteurs néo-classiques formés dans la tradition académique française. Il remporte le Prix de Rome en sculpture et se forme au contact de l’art antique et de la Renaissance italienne, ce qui conditionne fortement sa pratique plastique et esthétique.
Il présente cette œuvre au Salon de 1827 à Paris, alors l’événement artistique le plus important de France : le Louvre l’achète à cette occasion, ce qui scelle la reconnaissance officielle de l’artiste.
Période et influences
La sculpture s’inscrit pleinement dans le néo-classique, mouvement dominant au tournant des années 1820 en France : celui-ci prône le retour aux formes claires, l’inspiration antique, la maîtrise du dessin et la rationalité formelle. En sculpture, cela se traduit par :
une finition lisse et polie du marbre exposant les volumes avec clarté,
une figuration inspirée des motifs héroïques de l’antiquité, valorisant la noblesse du sujet,
un traitement noble du nu masculin, hérité de l’antique.
Description formelle de l’œuvre
Dimensions et matériau
Marbre blanc : matériau noble, symbole de pérennité et de pureté, utilisé ici dans la tradition classique.
Hauteur : ~1,36 m format humain, proche de l’échelle réelle, favorisant l’identification du spectateur au sujet.
Composition générale
La sculpture montre un jeune homme, assis ou légèrement incliné, épaule légèrement basse, le corps tendu par la douleur. Il est blessé à la jambe : un serpent vient de le mordre. Le chasseur tente de réagir à cette blessure — à la fois physique et symbolique.
Les éléments caractéristiques :
Le corps masculin nu évoque la tradition antique (l’étude du nu est au cœur de l’enseignement académique).
Le héros n’est pas un dieu mythique, mais un personnage humain confronté à une épreuve tragique.
L’interaction avec l’animal (le serpent) introduit un élément dramatique et narratif hors des récits mythologiques traditionnels.
Interprétation iconographique
Le serpent : symbolisme et métaphore
Le serpent dans l’art occidental a une longue histoire symbolique :
Il peut incarner le mal, la tentation, la fragilité face à la nature sauvage.
Il renvoie aussi à des récits anciens de la lutte humaine contre les forces naturelles.
Dans cette sculpture, le serpent mordant le chasseur est particulièrement significatif : il suggère l’imprévu de la nature, l’épreuve, le combat entre l’homme civilisé et le monde sauvage. Contrairement à certaines figures mythologiques où le serpent est un adversaire divin ou héroïque, ici il est un obstacle brutal et soudain.
Héroïsme et vulnérabilité
Petitot ne représente pas un jeune héros immortel triomphant :
Il met en scène la douleur, la vulnérabilité, et l’humanité du chasseur blessé. L’artiste s’éloigne ainsi du pur idéal héroïque (glorieux et triomphant) :
Le chasseur est en pleine souffrance : posture, tension musculaire, expression corporelle indiquent la lutte intérieure.
La lutte n’est pas mythologique mais concrète, presque documentaire dans sa violence.
Cette approche est intéressante car elle suggère que, même dans un style académique et néo-classique, il est possible d’exprimer un réalisme psychologique marqué : la sculpture ne célèbre pas seulement l’idéal antique, elle le nuance par une représentation plus humaine et empathique.
Comparaison stylistique
Bien que l’œuvre soit principalement néo-classique par sa finition et son équilibre formel, sa dramatisation rappelle aussi certaines préoccupations romantiques à venir : l’expressivité, la confrontation à la nature et le pathos physique. Ce mouvement vers l’expression de l’expérience humaine — au-delà de l’idéalisme strict — s’amplifiera dans les décennies suivantes dans la sculpture française.
Signification esthétique
Néo-classicisme humanisé
Petitot réussit à marier :
la rigueur classique du dessin et du nu sculpté,
à la dimension narrative et émotionnelle du sujet.
Le résultat est une œuvre bien équilibrée entre forme idéale et contenu dramatique, faisant de ce chasseur blessé un symbole universel de la lutte contre l’adversité.
Sens moral et philosophique
Plusieurs niveaux de lecture peuvent être envisagés :
✔ La lutte de l’homme contre la nature motif classique, mais rendu ici de façon immédiate et concrète.
✔ La fragilité humaine l’homme est blessé, vulnérable, mais digne dans sa résistance.
✔ L’émotion contenue loin de l’outrance romantique, Petitot exprime une émotion retenue, conforme à l’idéal académique, mais convaincante.
Place dans l’histoire de l’art
Cette sculpture est représentative d’un moment charnière de la sculpture française du début du XIXᵉ siècle :
encore héritière des canons classiques,
mais déjà ouverte à une dimension narrative et expressive accrue.
Elle préfigure, en quelque sorte, les tensions entre néo-classique et romantique qui marqueront les décennies suivantes.
Conclusion
Le « Jeune chasseur blessé par un serpent » est une œuvre profondément équilibrée entre :
la maîtrise technique du marbre héritée de l’antiquité,
et une sensibilité moderne à l’expérience humaine.
Plutôt qu’un simple hommage à la forme, Petitot met en scène un moment de souffrance universelle et, par là, enrichit la tradition académique d’une nuance émotionnelle qui annonce l’évolution de la sculpture française au XIXᵉ siècle.

Il gioco della 'ntinna a mari (o Antenna a mare) è diventata una tradizione a San Vito Lo Capo come in altri paesi della Sicilia e consiste in una sorta di albero dellla cuccagna orizzontale sul mare. Rito folcloristico quasi tribale che si ripropone ogni anno in una arena di vocianti paesani formata dal molo e i grossi pescherecci del porto. Sulla barca a remi i Sapunari ungono la trave ed esortano il pubblico a secchiate d'acqua mentre i ragazzini si esercitano in continui tuffi e riemersioni nelle stasi del gioco. Lo speaker dialettale e gli sponsor improvvisati completano l'atmosfera.

It made no sense. Maya had followed the imp's instructions perfectly and yet she was lost in the labyrinth of the enchanted woods. Hadn't that mischievous little creature said to take a left past the old water wheel and follow the stream all the way down to the fork in the road? It was surely going to get dark soon and the forest spirits had been in a foul mood this past winter.
She had grown up listening to the elders tell the stories of children who would wander into the woods alone and never come out. A shiver ran down her spine. She looked around and found no comfort in the beautiful landscape. There had to be a way out, she could not let the magical vial of Arctic water hanging around her neck be lost to the world. Not when it could change the course of the strange illness Gaia had befallen. She sat down and chanted the short prayer her mother had taught her as a toddler. Maya slowly opened one eye and looked around hoping that she had somehow been magically transported back to her village, but she was still stranded in the middle of the forest. It was worth a try.
As she got up and dusted off her dress, Maya felt a light gaze behind her. She spun around with alarming speed and saw a girl staring at her from a small clearing. There was a slight translucent quality to her body as the little girl beckoned her with a warm smile and began walking deeper into the woods. Ok, kinda creepy ... but Maya had no choice but to follow her and hope she would not be the subject of another children's story. She gathered up her will and ran after her new best friend.

A still from my new music video for the german band Pathos Legal and their track "Keine Kunst" from the new album "Du, mein wilder Geist".
Watch it here: youtu.be/EN-w65GI0cI
The musicvideo was completely shot in slow-motion on a Canon 6D. Post Production was done in After Effects, with Twixtor and the editing in Premiere Pro.
Thanks to everyone helping this project to become reality:

Strobist Info:
Shot with a full on Yongnuo YN-460-II from the far right with a red filter and a full powered Yongnuo YN-460-II with a blue filter from the front left. Some flickering very dark ambient yellow light was available from the far right and left too.
First off: apologies for the delay; let's get right to the goodies from other creators on display today!
Today, from The Darkness, Elsa is wearing:
.lovelysweet.'s Pathos Eyes. Available in BOM, Lelutka applier, and Omega applier, this set has 16 colors with some really lovely detail to them. I love eye colors with dynamic range to them, and this set delivers stunning colors that earn a second look.
I promised earlier to show off the jacket in Ahlure's Lucy outfit, and here it is! Layered with the Lucy top, as well. The jacket & top both feature a dozen color styles--and you can choose to make the top mesh fabric for a more risque style! There's a matching skirt and garter in the set as well, not shown here--all sized for Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Reborn, and Maitreya (shown).
Moon Black's Brenda set comes with shorts, sneakers, and a top, sized for Freya, Legacy, and the Maitreya, and features a HUD with six colors for each....None of which is shown here. What IS here? The amazing BOM stockings that also come in the set! I really like the other pieces in the set as well, but I have maybe become addicted to using those stockings in any outfit they could remotely fit on...
Speaking of stuff from this round of The Darkness that I am maybe a little too addicted to...I still love VIO's Mystical Kicks, and I'm still popping those on any chance I get, as well. These comfy shoes come in unisex rigged for Aesthetic, Belleza (Mens/Womens), Legacy (Mens/Womens), Signature (Mens), Reborn, Slink (Mens/Womens), Tonic, and Maitreya (Pictured), and has a hud with a dozen patterned and solid options to choose from.
This picture, by the way, was shot in WLS's Autumn Skybox! 75LI when rezzed from its box, this skybox features two rooms separated by the sliding door you see in the background, an open floor plan space, and slatted windows that give a loft attic space feel. It was a fun place to take photos in, with a lot of thoughtful design details that make it feel engaging as a place to decorate and live in, without being too much. I highly recommend checking out more info at the booth at The Darkness!
Speaking of, you only have until the 28th to check out these exclusives and more, so be sure to head over to The Darkness and take a peek!
