On their way to the opening night of a Halloween-themed
art show, Merry and Penny begin to question
their decision to walk past the cemetery.

I thought I would do you a post without wering anything red or sunglasses either. I'm afraid I failed again as this one seemed to catch my eye as a lovely teasing study and thus being too good to leave till tomorrow because as you never know the world might have have ended by them and people will think in their dying moments "If only!".Maybe Jojo is just very kind like that or more likely she got a bit carried away tonight guzzling the red wine and digging into the dark swiss chocolates. But I think I deserve a bit of a treat as I had planned to have roast duck for my Christmas Dinner but Marks didn't have any till now so thisdis my Christmas treat and of course you can have yours too.,
"What is in store for me, brave New Year, hidden
Beneath thy glistening robe of ice and snows?
Are there sweet songs of birds, and breath of lilacs,
And blushing blooms of June's scent-laden rose?..."
- Julia B. Cady

Taken at Garbaldi lake, in Squamish, BC. I was walking around the lake, when I noticed this girl sitting there, lost in thought. One of the best hiking spots in British Columbia. A great place to get lost in your thoughts.

Friday's Food for Thought
I decided to combine the FFT with some behind the scene shots to show that Hollow's Lost Woods is very real for those who thought it was photoshopped and to show that it does not take alot of equipment to get the job done.
So how did we find this location?
Simply put, I took a different route home. There are times that I just hop in my car and just drive to see what is in my neighborhood and what do you know. There are so many places in your neighborhood that you can find and use for your session that makes a great composition. Sometimes in life we keep doing the same thing over and over that life can get very boring. Do something different. Shoot at crazy angles. Have your clients do things that generally would not do. You will be amazed at what happens. On the way home today take a different route and take in life.

Thank you poeticverse (Mike) for the lovely poem.
You can look at Mikes photos and read his poem on this address :
Therefore I am by Michael Peck. Oil on linen. Sulman Prize finalist.
Drawing on psychological and philosophical influences, this painting investigates the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, and looks at the way that memory, experience, history and relationships all come together to create both order and disorder in the way we view the world.
The painting explores the notion that thought is slippery and can be difficult to pin down. It constantly reacts to stimuli, forming then reforming our understanding of the world and our own sense of self. Thought can prove the same idea true then false, but it is through challenging these contradictions that we learn the most, Michael Peck, 2017.

Finger to the lip warning: Paula may have mischievous thoughts? No worries this time though; I'm a truly sweet girl today with just happy thoughts. I'm intensely enjoying wearing my purple dress on this beautiful autumn day; a perfect day with no room nor need for any other thoughs.
If one takes a macroscopic look at human beings situation evolution throughout the few last centuries, it is very noticeable that a growing part are given more and more freedom, as time passes. In rich countries, people are now (more and more) able to make a number of important choices: what do they want to study, what do they want as a job, do they want children and how many, where do they want to live, where do they want to go for vacations, what kind of food they want to eat, what kind of music do they want to listen to, etc. Many of these choices would have been considered as a great luxury not so long ago. The rights have been gained through social battles against a few highly privileged persons. Formerly, these were kings and emperors, now they are politics, big companies owners and any person willing to hold always more and more power in their hands.
However, I believe that a vast majority of these rights are allowed mostly because they serve a purpose. Still the same old one. Everyone knows that chickens raised outdoors are much tastier than battery farmed ones... looks like it's the same for human beings. Men with more freedom grow up better, and are more productive. The problem is, these last years, the Internet appeared, and chickens are now communicating in a worldwide scale... and of course, they are starting to realize why they are allowed to run in the grass, as long as they do not try to go past the fence. This was long neglected by power holders, and they now have a serious problem: the recent events in several countries (the Arab Spring) demonstrated what decisive role the Internet can play, and what consequences such communication can have.
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA (and similar bills or laws)are plain shameless tries to restrain that communication, and get things under control again. These ones claim to address a particular problem (piracy of cultural products), but their principle can simply be summarized in controlling the knowledge people can access to. Music and movies is simply the tip of the iceberg. Don't get me wrong, I am not in favor of piracy: I am in favor of true freedom. I want to be able to buy any kind of music I like, not ONLY the one a particular company decided to produce, to advertise on TV and radios to no extend, annihilating any alternative. This is where the Internet is a complete revolution, which is consequently attacked in order to muzzle it.
I choose to depict the situation using good old books, not electronic devices, for a similar reason: the ones willing to restrain access to knowledge would LOVE the whole world to rely on them... if these devices become the only way to get to education or entertainment, imagine how easy it would be to control and filter things out! Just a mouse click from a desk in a tower, and tada, no one in country A can read or see about country B. Or no one can learn about idea X. How convenient.

I thought the Mattel Wild Hearts Crew line had a lot of potential, but Mattel didn't put any significant marketing or design effort in to them.
This character was called Rallee Radmore. The character bio for this doll called her a "dreamer," yet her costume consisted of safety pin earrings, a tank top picturing a flaming skull, and black hobnail motorcycle boots. And goggles.
In contrast, the character identified as a "rocker" wore a shirt picturing a unicorn surrounded by sparkles. Go figure.
Whatever... introduced in 2019, the line was discontinued after little more than a year.
