So, I had a lot of fun with this week's theme. Just walking down the alley behind my work I found all kinds of blue things. It was very hard to decide what to add to the group. I also realized I like old stuff.

Using natural light from the windows.

no major edit - just add contrast on the eyes.

The East end window in the church of

St Mary with St Hugh, in Harlow, Essex, England.

Installed in 1967, this is the fhe first and largest of the windows designed by Marc Chagall for All Saints' Tudeley, in Kent. It is a memorial to Sarah d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, daughter of a local landowner, who drowned in a sailing accident off the Isle of Wight at the age of 21.

 

Combining elements from Sarah's life and death in graphic detail, it moves from despair in the dark , swirling seas of the bottom lights , to hope and the joy in the brighter colours of the top lights, where a crucified Christ awaits Sarah's arrival with welcoming arms out-stretched.

 

Sarah was the daughter of a Jewish father and an Anglican mother but had been brought up as an Anglican. Having a keen interest in art, she had seen and admired the Twelve Tribes of Israel windows which Chagall had designed for the Hadassah Medical Centre synagogue in Ein Karem, Jerusalem, when they were displayed in Paris prior to their installation. Her parents, therefore, decided to ask Chagall, a Jew himself but with a strong spiritual sense which crossed religious boundaries, to design the memorial window, which he duly did.

 

If you look on the church website you can also see one of Chagall's earlier sketches for this same window but featuring Sarah floating in a kind of sea of flowers. It's under the heading 'The window that never was' at www.tudeley.org/allsaintstudeley.htm

it's all about the view...literally~ I have been practicing with shooting INTO window light. I love to use window light as often as possible, but tend to shy away from placing my subject directly in front of a window. Here, my daughter was using window light to light up her objects of play and I was using it to light her up! ;)

Found a forgotten grapefruit in the fridge that was at least a month old; made a delicious glass of juice with it before work. The rain made everything smell nice on the walk to the bus stop. I bought an optometry groupon— I've been noticing my distance vision in my right eye is getting worse. At first I was very worried because I've always had great vision, but then I realised that it's likely just age, so I may as well get my eyes tested and see if I need glasses. My body was sore and I wanted to go to yoga but I was much too hungry. I made a frozen pizza on the pizza stone and sorted through some junk for the garage sale, then watched some tv and read a magazine. 125/365.
