more cross lighting (dark side of the face is opposite to the dark side of the background). I had been reading in bed before taking this, which doesn’t make for the most fashionable hairstyles. So I used this image also to practice tidying stray hairs. :)

The title of this image is an excerpt from Song of a Dream; by Sarojini Naidu, an amazing woman. Read about her here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarojini_Naidu / Read the poem here: www.poetseers.org/the_great_poets/in/sarojini_naidu_poems… I had to learn how to make stars for this week’s image – took awhile, but once I figured it out it was fairly simple. I ditched all the make up techniques from last week’s lessons and just went with natural, but I did fake the color of the dress – in real life it’s brown. ;) Lighting for this image was a single softbox on camera right and a silver reflector camera left (I’m holding it).

written by Nobel Prize winning author Gabriel García Márquez, and I am sure loved by many. I started the book and I stopped, started, stopped, started and four months later finally finished it. It is beautifully written and overwhelmingly romantic. I apparently am not the latter. Sad, heh? I couldn’t see past much of the lead characters’ atrocious behavior and didn’t feel very sorry for them in their tangle of loves. My copy of the book has a rose on the front, so this photo is in celebration of my finally finishing this sad book about love found, kindled, tested, taken for granted, lost, suffered, mourned, coveted, scoffed, reborn and finally cherished. I’ve desaturated the skin tones to reflect the unhappiness in the book. OK – now back to sociologists’ ramblings, crime stories and medical thrillers. :)
This is Athena – The warrior princess….my husbands dog… she has attitude… a lot of it !!!
Model: Athena / After shot
Temple of Athena, the Acropolis, Athens, Greece I never thought I would actually get to see these ladies in person and was thrilled to finally have the opportunity.
this is my husbands dog wearing my husbands hat … actually it was mine but he stole it years ago …. I think ATHENA could be a model but – she keeps trying to eat the props !!!
A dear friend suggested I do a painting of Athena and her gift of the olive tree as it now applies to the modern world… this is the result.

I know I’m sentimental, but I won’t let this pass away / I’ll miss you forever, and in my heart you can stay
I lost one of my very good friends to the heavens July 30th, 2007. She was an amazing person and I will always miss her, so this poem is just a small dedication to what she meant to me. <athena3>

Viewed from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, the Roman Forum of Athens is located to the north of the Acropolis and to the east of the original classical Greek Agora. The Agora actually has nothing to do with Romans, but took this name because it was constructed during Roman times. Prominent in the Agora you can see the Tower of the Winds (on the right) and the Fethiye Djami (on the left). The Tower of the Winds, also called horologion (timepiece), is an octagonal Pentelic marble clock tower. The structure features a combination of sundials, a water clock and a wind vane. It was supposedly built by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC, but according to other sources might have been constructed in the 2nd century BC before the rest of the forum. The Pentelic marble structure was built in the shape of an octagonal tower with a pyramidal roof. At the top of the pyramid was a revolving copper Triton which showed the direction of the wind. The name of the tower comes from the external friezes, containing carved depictions of the eight winds, each holding a special symbol, with its name on the cornice: Boreas (north), Skiron (nouthwest), Zephyros (west), Lips (southwest), Notos (south), Euros (southeast), Apeliotes (east), and Kaikias (northeast). Each wind was given a personality according to its characteristics and each promises different conditions. The Turkish mosque (Fethiye Djami) considered one of the oldest and finest Ottoman monuments in Athens was constructed in 1456 AD on the ruins of an Early Christian basilica. The mosque was built in honour of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror (Fethiye Djami). It is known to the Greeks as the Market Mosque (Djami tou Staropazaroú). The mosque now houses a collection of folk ceramics, part of the collection of the Greek Tradition and Folk Art Museum. Single RAW image Tonemapped in Photomatix Pro 3.2.
