Inspiration: Portait of Marjorie Ferry by Tamara de Lempicka ~ 1932
Result: Portrait of Marjorie Furry
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: It's overcast, wet & chilly weather... and I have a head cold ...so I am falling back on fanart and shamelessly using Tamara de Lempicka's work as an inspiration while my own imagination just sits there like old porridge in my skull. It was fun....between sneezes. Is it just me, or do all her women have feline faces? Probably me....aaaanyway ...going to go pass out now.
200m of boards with Brave, Ekto, Kak, and 3 other guys. hotest weekend of the year but the kids were great and produced some really nice work.
My son is flying into Wellington today, to visit me before a short tour of Australia. I followed his flight on Flight Aware as he was coming in to Wellington. Depending on which way the wind was blowing, there was a possibility I would see his plane come in from my office window. I didn't, he came the other way (behind the hill) but it was good to see he had good weather for his landing.

Germany - Lubeck: Theater Figuren Museum.
(This set within a set is dedicated to Tiger Lair - Susan who has collected Puppets all her life and is a good friend of mine!)
About a thousand theatre puppets from several continents and centuries prove that puppeteers have always and everywhere succeeded in holding a mirror to their societies. They have used ventriloquist’s puppets, the famous „Kasper“, marionettes, shadow puppets, five-in-one puppets as well as mechanical „smokers“ – to mention but a few. And, of course, they have relied on all the attributes of theatres: posters, props and requisites, musical instruments. All that can be seen in this outstanding museum which is said to be the greatest of its kind on earth.
A fascinating world within historical walls that has already delighted thousands and thousands of visitors.
+ a bonus........................the things people say to photographers

very funny
Io ti mando via ma non è facile lottare col ricordo di te,
con te.
E’ tutto inutile (se) in ogni gesto ci sei tu
Io in questo vortice vado ogni giorno un po’ più giù
Ti farà ridere… Io che non vivo senza te
Che resto ancora qui a immaginarmi cosa o che…
Stadio - In questo vortice
I still have a bad cold, although I improved quite a bit after lunch. So I'm home today. It's too cold to sit in the garden and I don't feel up to standing and ironing (I'd be well enough for work if I were). So I sat on the sofa with my laptop and wrote up some of my holiday notes from this pretty notebook that I carried on my travels.

Project 52, Week 51
Theme: Holiday Cheer
This pretty much sums up what my Christmases are like - bright, cheery, sparkling, festive, and full of food. ;)
A co-worker caught me in the middle of a not-so-inner-monologue moment this afternoon, mid “Well that’s not a half bad idea”, and felt compelled to ask half smart assedly, “Who are you talking too?”
Who am I talking too?
I suppose it’s something of a bad habit, or just plan ole fashion weird, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always talked to myself out loud. It for lack of better reasoning just seems to make sense. Under certain circumstances it tends to relax me. It makes it a bit easier to organize thoughts when I can actually hear them, rather then simply bouncing them aimlessly around the backwashed echoes of my head. Often more then not, when an writing idea comes to me, I will in most cases actually toss the thoughts out there verbally while working the bays, even rehears lines I’ve conjured up for my fiction work, just to see what they sound like outside of my head. Typically it is met with little fanfare or attention. The bays are after all a rather clamorous amalgamation of operating machinery, grumbling diesel rigs, hissing high pressure water wands, and yes, loud mouthed co-workers. Basically, it’s a noisy environment. As such typically my outwardly attempts at personal peer pressure, and suggestive persuasion go unnoticed, but there are those rare occasions when quite suddenly and quite unexpectedly…Some one notices.
Granted, I can understand the strange factor one might sense upon making the observation of someone such as myself speaking quite clearly, rationally, and occasionally intensely to himself. I do after all recall when Bluetooth first hit the market, and the concern I’d felt when trying to decide as to the best way to approach drivers that appeared to be deeply consumed in a very serious and lengthy conversation with no one other then themselves. “Cautiously” had been a word that had tip toed its way to the fore front of my mind.
Typically no one notices my verbally expressive rants of personal self indulgent, file shuffling and fictional character development. Today someone noticed. And to answer their question…
I said, “I’m talking to me. There’s no one else here I wants to talk too right now.”
Sometimes I really am my own best friend.

The first late night at work after the clocks have gone back. I stay late(ish) on Tuesdays before going to the pub quiz.
I'm disappointed with how blurred this is.

A small project consisting of setting up a shoot with random passersby and getting them to pull a face.
All participants where informed of the project and asked if they wanted to be a part. To see the rest of the project you can visit cambrils.tumblr.com/
Lighting is provided by a softbox umbrella camera right and a bare strobe for hair light.
Why do they always want what the other one has?????
We were on a family vacation this week, so as you can probably guess, I have a lot of shots with 2 subjects.

Inspiration: I was looking at pictures taken in Kyoto & reminded how heavy Heian Court robes were when I tried them on.
Result: Kimono doodle
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen, Staedtler Karat Aquarell pencils in a Stillman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")
Location: Home
Note: Happily playing in the Stillman & Birn Alpha sketchbook, which, holds up wonderfully to light washes, as I explore how the Platinum carbon ink handles this paper & reacts with (under & over) other materials. All I could think of, besides loving this paper, is the need to invest in some superior Faber-Castell watercolour pencils...
I used a metal texture with soft light blend mode at 100% then erased off my daughter. I had been planning on taking her to the river for some senior pictures and wanted the parasol to go with the setting. I loved the result. We were, however, fighting the rain and with it very dark light. The on camera speedlight flash saved me.

I wanted the top of the quilt to look like the paint pouring in. The blue and green ribbons swirl around it, mixing up the colors.
I'm still in hospital but I went for a little walk today. This church is across the road from the hospital.
