In this 1824 sculpture by the Swiss-born French sculptor James Pradier, Psyche (Psyché in French) holds a butterfly as a symbol of her tortured soul.

From "filmsoup-swap" project with Toby Mason (Fotobes). First, he shot an underpass in Brighton, and then posted the film to Japan. I shot Kakuouzan Nittaiji Temple in Nagoya. After shooting a roll I put the dissolved neutral detergent onto all around the film in a darkroom. Then rewind the film and I heated the canister in boiled water for 5 minutes. After I dried the film I got it developed. Came out psychedelic image. More about this: www.lomography.com/magazine/tipster/2013/02/27/lets-cook-...

Le plus beau des présents de l'amour passé c'est de pouvoir se refléter dans les yeux de son futur...
[Chris for Sebastien - a quote for a Valentine day]
The most beautiful present of past love is to be able to reflect ourselves in the eyes of our future...
El más hermoso de los regalos del amor pasado es poder reflejarse en los ojos de su futuro...

Today I want to talk about two ''Myths'' in photography..
One is ''Exposure'' or ''It's All About Light''..When we were at our beginner/learning stage we were told that ''exposure'' is a fundamental element of photography. The ''correct exposure'' was the light that our body & lens should get to create the image. It was all about the correct light. Then I met with ''Low Key''. Low Key images striked me when I first saw them. They were dark, not enough light were on neither on the subject nor on the context. However the ''feel'' was completely different comparing with the ''correct exposured'' images. I discovered the power of low key, when I start to work with ''emotions'' rather than chasing the technical perfection. Low Key is the ''key'' to enter the darker/emotional zones and into human psyche.
The second myth is the perception of beauty and using models for creating beauty in images. Why do we use models? Because they are beautiful..Is it so? Yes, they might be beautiful, but that is NOT the reason for choosing models-we choose models because they are also actors/actresses who play an act, a story, the know how to pose, how to act and can do that for different scenarios. Models can reflect what emotion we want to add to the image- they know what they have to do. and models are not ''objects of beauty'' only. A good model can play many characters, can give many emotions and is open to experimentals rather than trying to show her and/or seen as an instagram beauty queen.
"There were once a king and queen, rulers of an unnamed city, who had three daughters of conspicuous beauty. The youngest and most beautiful was Psyche, whose admirers, neglecting the proper worship of the love goddess Venus, instead prayed and made offerings to her. It was rumored that she was the second coming of Venus, or the daughter of Venus from an unseemly union between the goddess and a mortal. Venus is offended, and commissions Cupid to work her revenge. Cupid is sent to shoot Psyche with an arrow so that she may fall in love with something hideous. He instead scratches himself with his own dart, which makes any living thing fall in love with the first thing it sees. Consequently, he falls deeply in love with Psyche and disobeys his mother's order."
By Pietro Tenerani 1819
I call out to Psyche, sweet breath of the spirit,
fair among mortals, fair too among gods.
Beloved of Eros, your tale is one
of joy and of sorrow, of retribution
and redemption, of determination
and forgiveness. Daughter of humanity,
beautiful above all women, your loveliness
a blessing and a blight; loved by the love god,
betrayed by uncertainty, you would bear any torment,
face any fear, to reunite with your dear one.
Bright-winged goddess who knows the art of transformation,
who knows the work of a great love, I pray to you.
(Prayer by Hearthstone)
Amor is the son of Venus. Amor loves Psyche - under the displeasure of Venus (Amor disappears from Psyche). Venus forces Psyche to solve some dangerous tasks.
Psyche uses a forbidden cream and falls into a fatal sleep. This is the moment, when Amor comes back and saves her live by kissing her - aaahhh, what a romantic tale.
By the way: Amor and Psyche become a couple again and get a daughter, called "Voluptas" (Wollust in german, sensuality in english)
A third species of bagworm at Brookwood cemetery in the last few weeks. This one has impeccable artistic taste, I found it on the beautiful headstone for William and Evelyn de Morgan, both celebrated artists (William was a sculptor in the Arts & Crafts movement, and Evelyn was a painter in the Pre-Raphaelite style - their work is currently on display at Watts Gallery, in Surrey) upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2e/William_De_Morgan_...

Antelope Valley 2016. Mostly, if there was a bloom last year in Antelope Valley, I missed it. I did find this small display of poppies and lupine along Munz Ranch Road on the morning I was there. I'm psyching up for this spring - wildflowers, rising Milky Ways, it's gonna be fun.
She was so beautiful that had she stood
On windy Ida by the oaken wood,
And bared her limbs to that bold shepherd's gaze,
Troy might have stood till now with happy days;
And those three fairest, all have gone away
And left her with the apple on that day.
