This is another picture shot in the new workshop of my friend Durga in Varanasi (Benaras).
Those studies in progress pinned on a wall are part of a new topic about hijras, those members of "the third gender", neither man nor woman.
Durga Charan Das is a young painter living in the "City of Lights", he is painting amazing bodies making love or sometimes alone but always with sensuality and strength, with something special that reminds a lot of Eugene Delacroix's work...
Durga has already won several prestigious awards in India and now exhibitions of his work are starting in Europe.

My friends, thanks for yours nice comments, visite and invites !!!
An investigative study into the ways in which certain minorities express themselves, in this case, it’s Drag Queens. Drag is an art and refined skill, but most importantly, drag is a way for one to express themselves through the beauty of a performative identity. Having spoken to over 100 queens over Instagram, I have discovered so much about the culture; such as the fact that there are categories of queens such as comedy queens, spooky queens, club kids, pageant and the most dominant being look queens. It’s fair to say that drag is not something you’d class as ‘normal’, but that certainly doesn’t devalue the significance it truly holds. Breaking gender stereotypes is such a vital way for society to progress. Offensive ideologies such as sexism, homophobia and even transphobia seem to be alleviated as soon as one gets into drag. A man dressed as a women, (usually) part of the LGBT community and clothed in a plethora of elegant attires is so strongly standing for those who are socially repressed in nowadays society for the way in which they identify. Talking to Dixey the queen, she opened my eyes to the idea that “drag is there for those who need that boost of inspiration, that kick of confidence or stance of pride. I live unapologetically and standing on that stage with my double Ds and 30 inch wig makes me feel powerful. but i don’t do it for my own ego, I do it for those who need need the encouragement to be who they want. Yeh, I look like a fool up there, but when my head is high and the crowds are cheering, someone in the world is feeling like they can conquer anything and that is why I get up every morning”.

The original aircraft on which the reproduction is based was produced by Vickers Armstrong at their Castle Bromwich works in March 1944. It was equipped with a Merlin 66 engine and entered service on 5th. July 1944 with 64 Fighter Squadron, bearing the Squadron letters 'SH' and identification letter 'B'. Having been thoroughly tested it became the personal aeroplane of F/Lt. Anthony 'Tony' Cooper who was at the time 'A' Flight Commander and Deputy Squadron Commander.
In those days it was normal procedure for the aircraft to bear an insignia or name chosen by its pilot, and following this tradition MK 805 was duly inscribed 'Peter John III', this being the third Spitfire to carry the name of F/Lt. Cooper's son who was born two months earlier on 5th. May 1944.
MK 805 has taken its builder, Terry Arlow, over 25 years to complete and has been built using copies of the original Spitfire drawings. The only way of obtaining these in the 1980's was from microfilm held in the archives at the RAF Museum in Hendon. This was a laborious task which took over eight years to complete. After spending thousands of hours studying the drawings and creating full size templates, work began on the construction of the fuselage in 1990.
Three months were spent cutting out the fuselage frames from the firewall frame 5 through to frame 19, these were then positioned into a jig and all intercostals brackets and stiffeners were fitted into position. Many cockpit and fuselage items now had to be fitted as access to these areas would not be possible at a later stage. The cockpit contains all genuine Spitfire parts including all the instruments. The fuselage was then skinned using thousands of rivets.
The next stage was to build three more jigs, one for each wing and one for the tail unit.
The wings were started in 1994 by constructing two main wing spars and two rear spars, each spar being double skinned for added strength. Then 42 wing ribs, 21 for each wing, plus auxiliary spars, brackets and stiffeners were constructed. All these parts were treated with primer and painted to give a long lasting protection.
A further 18 months were spent attaching the skins to the wings; half of this time was on the leading edge skins. The very complex tail unit was also being developed during this time, which also incorporated the port and starboard tail planes. This unit was joined to the fuselage in 2001.
The next task was making the cowling structure. As the builder had all original parts from different Spitfires it was difficult to match these together but it was achieved after 18 months of work. The undercarriage system which includes the legs, pintles, u/c jacks, wheels and tyres are all original and these were fitted next. Between 2000 and 2009 the elevators, rudder, flaps and ailerons were constructed, aligned and attached.
Priming and painting of the Spitfire was carried out between 2008 and 2010 in the markings of 64 Fighter Squadron by Stephen Arlow. The final assembly of the Spitfire, which included the fitting of the wings to the fuselage, took place in May 2010.
MK 805 is seen displayed at the Lowestoft Armed Forces Day event, held on Lowestoft seafront.

This was taken at the pool at my apt complex. My upper division Econ 184 final is tomorrow from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. I put together the powerpoint slides that are up online and binded it together so it'll be easier to study instead of scattered papers all over. This was taken during sunset (as you can tell by the color of the sky). It was very relaxing and easy to study.
Nature Color Studies.
Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.
OG Sour Diesel, kinda like a New York egg cream, or a Baltimore lake trout, if you know what I mean. So mild, it may improve certain studies!
Studio time and a sketchbook pomegranate study. These actual dried pomegranates were snipped from a bush right outside the studio...and included a small bulbous grey spider which crawled out of the pod painted in the lower right corner. I am NOT a fan of spiders..so he was wisked from the scene immediately! I went with paint straight in...and added some ink flourishes as decorative highlights. Another day in paradise? Ahh...You betcha! .:)

Have you ever been in a museum of human cultures and wanted to get a better look at the objects in the exhibits and perhaps touch them? If so, then the Cathlapotle Plankhouse at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is the place for you.
In this photo, Portland State University students pause to take in the wealth of information that members of the Chinook Indian Nation, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and others have laid out for the public in a replica of a house the Chinook people lived in before contact Europeans, and for too short an interval thereafter.
======================================================================================================================
On a pleasant October day, Portland State University's anthropology department held a field trip to the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge to see the Cathlapotle plankhouse and the site of Cathlapotle village.
Long abandoned, the actual village, which is a long way from the plankhouse and hard to get to, was once a bustling riverside community. Lewis and Clark visited the village and recorded their experiences.
In the 1990s, the late Ken Ames, the dean of Oregon archaeologists, conducted excavations at the site together with other archaeologists and field students. Today, it is off limits and protected by fearsome stinging nettles. In any case, it's nothing much to look at. The thrill comes from listening to archaeologists' descriptions of the Chinook nation's way of life.

ɬax̣awyam (welcome)
Since time immemorial Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia River have tended to the oak woodlands, camas fields, and wapato patches of what we now call the Refuge, maintaining habitat for wildlife while supporting the lives of the people who called this place home.
Based on the Chinookan village of Cathlapotle, the Plankhouse and the objects inside of it offer a tangible link to these original stewards and provides a unique site for the interpretation of our region's natural and cultural heritage.
Built in partnership with the Chinook Indian Nation, Portland State University, The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and numerous other community partners and volunteers.
This House serves as an education and interpretive center and is used by the Chinook Indian Nation for cultural events throughout the year. Visit the Cathlapotle Plankhouse and connect with local indigenous culture.

I was sure I can never have the time to do deliberate photographic studies, let alone - on a predefined subject and with a deadline. November sunshine proved me wrong: I had 5 minutes, the subject was 'shadows' and I saw them, in my own sitting room and garden. Next day I even found time to crop and clean them a bit, and here they are - for your critique :)
