I am told I look serious and my tone is appropriate for grave scenarios like disaster, plague and death. Call me if one of the above happens to you and you need a press conference.
just practicing with photoshop today. I finally got my color select action to work properly and since I have nothing better to do, I decided to work on this.
I took these photos at the Carnavale in Venice on 5 February 2013 - there were no planned events for this day; the photos were mainly costumed characters hanging out near the Doges Palace, the Piazza di San Marco, and the Gondola Landing - great places to people watch!

Yesterday was a bad day. I couldn't imagine seeing myself with any amount of love today. But I sat in the sunshine and breathed and when I opened my eyes the world seemed brighter, and so did I.
These boys and young men are practicing musicians. They use various kinds of drums, sing, clap their hands in a joyful rythm. Try and imagine how loud this is, in this narrow street of Tetouan. It was also fun to see all these smiles, getting ready for the circumcision ceremony that took place the day after.
This year I have been somewhat surprised that I have struggled to find the time to do regular sketching for myself and in a measure have stopped recording my life in my sketchbook. I am doing so much sketching now for work - illustrations or preparation for teaching. All great fun but it is never the same as the stuff I just do for me. The life of a freelancer is quite different… work becomes play and play becomes work…and that clear distinction between the two has gone. I am trying to get the balance right.
So last week I decided that I would try to do a journal page a day. I have started writing my morning readings in my book again (always read every morning but often don't write it in my book in 'normal life') Writing a verse out from the bible is certainly a great way to start the day and the act of writing helps me remember it more during the day - it also sets me up for doing a page a day! Some days I have suddenly realised at 10pm I hadn't done the sketch for the day…but I am getting in the swing of it and like the challenge of thinking of something for each day that records a moment of that day.
I have gone on a colour diet - reducing to a triad of 3 paints (of course) and learning more about efficient mixing. I am not liking how dirty my yellow gets or my water but it is improving and I am having lots of fun.
I went solo to the Texas Renaissance Festival today so I was able to get there for opening cannon and ceremony. The cast put on a great show and it's a lot of fun to watch and shoot. I then ambled around aimlessly checking out some of the shows and looking for interesting people to shoot.
All in all, another fun day at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I took these photos in mid-November at the TRF, located in Todd Mission, TX, about 50 miles NW of Houston.

The "Green Brigrade" practices the night before a game at the Apogee stadium, home of the UNT "Mean Green" in Denton, Texas.
They were finally seated in Orchestra - and she found out she's in First Chair. She managed to hold on to that position all of last year, and she working hard to do it again. I never have to remind her to practice - and she works through even the most frustrating sessions. I am GRATEFUL for her dedication to playing this beautiful instrument.
Gratitude: 25/30
I'm not the best at Macro, so I've been practicing. I like the focus on my hair in this one alot, rather than on my face. Let me know what you think, please. ^_^

Nothing makes me happier than starting a fresh hunk of cheese! I focused on the Brie and blurred the other cheeses in the background :) - Would love feedback on this photo
Marie Richardson at her desk in her home at 1638 Florida Ave. NW, Washington, DC taken December 22, 1946.
At the time, Richardson was executive secretary of the Washington branch of the National Negro Congress and was leading the fight locally for a permanent federal Fair Employment Practices Commission.
Richardson was the possibly the first African American woman to serve a major labor union at a national level and was sent to prison for four and a half years during the McCarthy-era.
She was jailed for not disclosing on a job application to the Library of Congress that she had been a member of the Negro Congress and was also alleged to have been a member of the Communist Party.
