Hello 2019!
Hello 2019! The Artist Collective Studio is alive and well. Our core 4 artists are Nichole Yanota, Crystal Leach, Kari Lehr, and Tony Partridge. We have been hibernating in our studio space this winter, focused and ready for the opportunities and challenges ahead. We are planning our new year and reflecting on the past year. What worked, what didn't, what we want to say "yes" to, and what we need to say "no" to more often. You know what it's like ;)
Our vision for the studio had shifted during 2018 . With our energy being pulled more directly into our artwork, we lapsed in our offering of workshops and other events to our community. We have seen our lives grow busy with commitments and exhibitions, with apprenticeships and expansion and learning new mediums. There are plenty of other organizations in our community who have been diligently hosting wonderful creative events for people to participate in. Visit our "CREATE" page where we've listed a Directory for creative go-to's! We'll miss our workshop-hosting days - learning, playing and mingling with our friends and neighbours in the comfort of our own studio. Thank you to all of you who joined in the fun over the past years. We will still be participating in the open studio days during the Artists Studio Tour.
Vision Workshop - Round 2!
Hello CNP! We are bringing Courtney back to inspire our community once again! I've seen first-hand how she sparks change in those around her - she is truly the fuel that will ignite action and awaken that dream you've been sitting on or those desires you've neglected for far too long ;) We all need a little nudge or guidance from time to time. Join us for an uplifting morning! Secure your seat for the 3 hours that could CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER by contacting the Artist Collective Studio or Courtney directly.
*N*E*X*T* up at the studio: Multicolour Linocut Workshop with Barbara Ann Hession! Get ready to dig into *layered!* linocut projects, because this one is all about colour. We know you love stamp-carving, so we're gonna take it to the next level and get you the inside scoop on how the pros do it! Join us for a day of printmaking with Barbara Ann (and her supercool printing press)!
The Artist Collective Studio and Crowsnest Pass Allied Arts Association have teamed up with Certified Life Mastery Coach, Courtney Cann, to offer our community a (! FREE !) workshop dedicated to CREATING your life by DESIGN (rather than by default).
Courtney is a friend of the Studio, passionate educator, and inspirer of many! I've seen her work creating sparks in people across our community, proving that with a little guidance and the proper motivation, we really can create positive change in our lives.
We hope you'll join us for an uplifting morning workshop on March 25th at the Studio. You can sign up with us or contact Courtney directly (space is limited).
Winter Open Studio Sessions

Once upon a time I fell out of blogging..
I feel like my blog doesn't really matter anymore and I've been out of touch with bloggers I used to be close with. Every time I open Twitter, I wonder how much it matters whether I tweet or stay silent. Most of the times it feels like I can just disappear and no one will notice - and while I realize that blogging is something you should always do for YOU, it's demotivating to feel that way.
I think everyone has noticed that there are huge time periods between new posts and I hope you will stick around no matter what. My progress in returning back to the blogging world might be slow, but I'm definitely working on it. The Love-a-thon has helped me realize that I still enjoy visiting new blogs and that I want to keep up with reviewing books. Branching out to blogging about my bulletjournal has helped and perhaps I need to go and explore more other topics too, like bringing back Mel in Movieland.
It feels good to write this down. It's not an apology, because I've always felt those are unnecessarily, but this has been bugging me for some time. So. There. A post to admit the biggest, most terrible blogging slump I have experienced in my 5 years of blogging. I don't know how long it will take, but I will not quit. I'm just taking my time.

Take all the time you need, blogging slumps happen to the best of us. I hope you get back into your blogging groove soon, though, no matter how long it takes, I'll still be here. :)ReplyDelete
Take all the time you need! Your blog was probably the first I followed and I will patiently be waiting till you're back better than ever ;)ReplyDelete
It might be hard to keep in mind, but I swear your best blog followers won't just ditch you when you're in a blogging slump. I know they didn't in my case when I took a prolonged 5 month break from blogging last year. Take the time you need to get back into enjoying to blog! And when you come back, post what you want to post because no matter what it is, pretty sure you will always have an audience for it :) All the best to you <3ReplyDelete
I feel like a lot of people that started blogging 5+ years ago are having to re-evalutate what they're doing now. Part of it is that a lot of people we used to talk to have moved on and part of it that SO MUCH HAS CHANGED SO FAST. I hope you get your blogging mojo back and find happiness in it again :)ReplyDelete
I know the feeling! I go through months where I'm super inspired, then months where I have no interest.ReplyDelete
Just remember that it's YOUR blog, and we'll still be here if you take a little break or don't post as regularly :) And why not blog about non-bookish things if it helps?
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2017 at 1:04 AM
Your blog was one of the first ones I sought out when I started thinking about coming back to blogging, so I hope you know that there are some of us who definitely do notice when you're silent :) Enjoy your break / transition back into blogging and take all the time you need!ReplyDelete
I love your blog, Mel, and will always be around to read a new post. I'm terrible at commenting, but I'm always lingering around reading, no matter how long there is between posts.ReplyDelete
I hope you can find your motivation and inspiration again soon. Wanting to write posts but having that writers block sucks.
It's your blog, sometimes I go weeks without anything or even longer if nothing is inspiring. You do you!ReplyDelete
Oh, sweetie, I hope you will feel like blogging again soon. <3 All the hugs. I think you are amazing Mel :) And I would miss you tons and tons. I adore you. <3 But yeah, I also get the feeling :( I tweet often in the day, yet I never ever get replies to anything.. sigh. It's a bit depressing :\ Just, yeah, know that I'm thinking of you, always. <3 Hugs.ReplyDelete
I know exactly how you feel because I feel it too. I just feel this "meh" feeling whenever I think about blogging, and that's everything but inspiring me to write out blogposts. i keep thinking to myself "i really should get back into blogging" but I just never seem to get there. it also doesn't help that I usually blog about books and recently I have fallen into a huge reading slump as well...ReplyDelete
Hope you find your own way in all of this! You should indeed do it just for you, but it sometimes takes some time to re-find your frame of mind to be able to do that?
I hope you figure it out, one way or the other. There are so many bloggers who started before me and are no longer blogging. Makes me sad. And, I think you should know that you will be missed while you're in hiatus. :)ReplyDelete
Tressa @ Wishful Endings
We've been blogging for so long sometimes it's really hard to keep the motivation going, but just know that we appreciate your voice and your blog Mel! I know how you feel and you shouldn't force yourself when you just don't have the inspiration. We will definitely be here whenever you are ready though!ReplyDelete
I'm going through something similar on my end Mel so it felt good for me to read this to be honest. It made me feel less alone. I agree that your best followers won't ditch you for being more quiet- you just have to take time to sort things out and get yourself back into it. I'm hoping I can do the same. xxxxReplyDelete
That's a really discouraging feeling to deal with when you think no one cares whether you're around or not. I hope you figure out the best way forward that makes you happy <3ReplyDelete
Aw, I hate that you feel like that, Mel, but I know the feeling! I've been really hit or miss with blogging in the last couple of years, and it definitely feels like everything and everyone goes on without you without a thought. I'd miss you, though! (I might not see for a while... But I'd see!)ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I really appreciate it and I will return the favor as soon as possible.

How to Bring More Happiness at Home
The thing is, if you are not happy at home where else you can be?
When at home, people can get distracted easily. Making things happy at home is totally important for those who live in it. Find out the priorities you want to get and work on them to make the home a happy place to live in. It may be a huge challenge on your part, but it should not be the case. You may be able to things easier around the home. Let's find out some things that can make the home happier to live in.
It is best to make the home built for your own needs. Make sure to make the house feel the home. To ensure you get the property feel your own is to purpose-built it to your preference. People who need to work at home, should be able to get a space where they can be comfortable in working. People with health challenges, the house should be made comfortable. The people who are not regularly able, it may be a challenge for them to live in a home that is not built for easy access. Make sure the home is built according to the needs of the people dwelling in it for happiness to reign. People need to have hobbies and pastime and make sure the property has plenty of spaces for it to happen. The thing is that some basketball lovers may be able to use the drive way to have a game with some friends. You can carve a nice space for people who love to do some word work in the garage. Make sure the spaces can bring more happiness to people.
Make the home a place to have less worries. We are constantly bombarded with stress in our places of work. The last place we want to get stressed is at home. Security should no longer be a source of worry. The fact is that we often find out crimes happening all the time and some happen near our homes. It is possible our house can be the next target. With the idea in mind, it is perplexing to some people to worry about safety and security. The hardest hit when there are crimes is the finances and emotions. It is best to put up a nice home security system to bring down the risk of criminality. Turn down the worry about security with home security system.
Make the walls contribute to the comfort of living by using the right colors. Darker shades may not be a nice thing to look at. Ensure the spaces are used and maximized well.
Use spaces well by use the right colors.

This post is one in a series of posts called "Glimpses of God" which I am writing as part of the Write31Days blog challenge. You can find the other posts here: 31 Glimpses of God Blog Challenge (#write31days)
Yesterday I saw a glimpse of God's glory in the form of loving arms wrapped around a hurting little boy. This precious chubby cheeked little one has had his world turned upside down. His not quite three year old life has been rocked by the sudden and completely unexpected death of his mommy. People had gathered to say goodbye to a life ended far too early. Adults hugged each other, shed tears together and gathered in a worship center to celebrate her life. However, down the hall her little boy was crying. He doesn't understand. How could he? How can any of us really?
I went in search of this little one that I am privileged to teach in preschool Bible study. His daddy was concerned that he did not know the people taking care of him. "They are strangers to him," he said to me with tears in his hurt-filled eyes, "will you check on him for me?"
Oh the feeling of being given a task when you don't know what to do! I wanted to run down the hall to find this sweet little one. I envisioned picking him up and holding him throughout the time of the service. My arms ached to hold him, to hug him. My voice yearned to tell him he is greatly loved and cherished. My heart longed to reach out to him in some way.
I rounded the corner, ready to move into action, when I saw the object of my mission in the arms of another. His head on her shoulder, his little arms wrapped securely around her neck. This beautiful precious woman was comforting a little boy she didn't know, but had been divinely appointed to hold that day. She had heard him crying and followed the Father's prompting to walk into the nursery room where he and his younger sibling were being cared for during the service.
It wasn't her job, it wasn't her child, but she allowed herself to be the arms of Jesus to a little boy in desperate need of a comforting reassuring hug. His daddy had been worried about his son's reaction to a stranger. Yet this stranger, this humble member of our church, was God's chosen instrument of comfort for his little boy.
Selfishly, I wanted to take him into my arms. I wanted to feel his little arms around my neck. I wanted to comfort myself by comforting him. But that was not what he needed. He needed to feel in control for just a moment. He needed to choose what happened. And so when I offered to take him, and he gave a slight shake of his head, I patted his back, told him I loved him and Jesus loves him, and then I walked back into the room to mourn with the other adults. Walking away was so hard. But I was able to smile knowing that God had orchestrated that moment.
I couldn't hold the little one, I couldn't hug him, but I could allow him to feel a tiny bit of control in a time when he has so very little.
Although my arms did not hold him, I saw what it looks like when we are the arms of Jesus. I pray that we all will be sensitive to those moments when we can be the hands and feet of the Savior. There is so much pain and brokenness all around us. Oh, that we might extend our arms to each other and embrace one another with the love of Jesus.
This precious family is hurting. Their pain is deep and raw. Yet, God is with them. He is providing each breath they draw, and hiding them in the shadow of His wings. They are clinging to their Savior and He is holding fast to them.
May we hold each other a little tighter, as we trust Jesus to hold tightly to us.
See you tomorrow,

The Stour Gallery are proud to house a number of exhibitions throughout the year. Find out more about our current exhibition
The Stour Gallery is now in its twenty first year.
Keep up to date with our most recently acquired pieces of work from selected artists.
Our opening hours are Tuesday - Saturdays 10.00am - 5.30am. If you are making a special journey, please contact The Stour Gallery prior to your visit to make sure we are open.…..we would not want to disappoint!
Martin Andrews is recognised as one of the leading glassmakers and in England today. His work is known for its high quality, attention to fine detail and innovative surface treatments.
Since graduating from West Surrey College of Art and Design in 1991, his work has gained international acclaim. He worked in Sweden with a renowned glass artist for two years after graduating, and was particularly inspired by the midnight sunsets there.
Other inspiration for his work comes from the natural world around him, in particular water and the landscape, architecture, geometric patterns, movement and power. He attempts to freeze a moment in time, capturing the very essence of the moving material that is molten glass. He is fascinated by the relationship between light and form.
His designs are hand blown in clear lead crystal glass, gathered from the furnace at 1080 degrees. The patterns are produced by melting coloured glass into the different layers of the molten glass ( up to 1150°C) and gradually building up the design. This involves both new and traditional techniques. Each item is made individually with no two being the same; each piece is unique and signed by the artist.
His pieces are exhibited around the world as well as in the UK, and he works with architects and interior designers on bespoke designs for private residencies, hotels and corporations.

I have always wanted a sister and had a brother instead. But luckily I have found this one that I know since 6th grade and became my bestie in highschool. She was the only one that knew every secret crush I had and we spent hours speaking on the phone and got punished when the bill came. We've been through so many together, ups and downs, but nothing could stand in the way of our friendship and this is why I can call her my sister. She is my Serena and I'm Blair or the other way around.
Since she is such an important part of my life, I had to introduce her properly to you in this special blog post where we were twinning in our Chicwish sweaters and in this magical background. There were -5 degrees when we shot these pictures, but that didn't changed our mood and we pretty enjoyed every second of it. Now we have some nice pictures to frame that are not the embarassing old ones from highschool. :))
A bit about my look: I was wearing the Chicwish sweater, obviously, on yellow with white jeans, a grey coat and suede over the knee boots from Joyas. I really love these high boots as they are rigid enough not to fall from my knee and look saggy. The good thing about Joyas is that you can send them your measures and they can customize the boots according to your leg width. To twin even more with Alina, or Catrinel as I call her, I took my Concept 15 Olivia backpack on red and she took the one on nude pink.
I was wearing:
Chicwish yellow sweater find Alina's sweater here
Asos white jeans
Shein grey coat
Joyas nude over the knee boots
Concept 15 red Olivia backpack
Cluse watch

Wind Variability Addressed by BTC's SERA-based Solution
We've been writing for years about how the smart energy ecosystem of the future is transforming the work of the utility industry and created our Smart Energy Reference Architecture to directly address the issues that arise from one of those transformative ecosystem derivatives: wind power. A situation in Europe provides a great illustration of this transformation and how we're working with our partners to rise to the new ecosystem challenges.
Take the case of Germany, where one of the first large industrial nations now intends to decommission all its nuclear power plants within the next ten years and will need a vast new supply of energy to replace them. Germany, as well as many other industrialized countries along Europe's coastlines, are turning to offshore wind farms to meet Europe's energy requirements.
Yes, windmills look simple in design, but don't let their appearance fool you. These offshore wind farms are located up to 100 kilometers away from coasts, and achieve anchoring depths of 40-50 meters: their construction and operation create complex risks and challenges that are masked by their simple designs.
For example, heavy storms and rough seas frequently prevent construction and maintenance work for days or even weeks. There's also the issues of huge rotor blades; strong, unstable winds; high atmospheric salinity levels; and, in particular, powerful North Sea tidal currents. The combinations result in continuous mechanical stresses, dynamic and unpredictable loads, and considerable corrosion risks. These variable and dangerous environmental conditions pose significant burdens to wind turbines and transformer stations.
These challenges are easily observable, but what's interesting is that they are new territory in terms of the operators having a knowledge base available to them for their successful, cost-efficient management. In the early days of steam engine powered trains, people were fearful that when the train reached speeds faster than a horse could race the passengers would have trouble breathing.
It's the same thing here, in a slightly different way. We don't know what we don't know. To date, neither manufacturers nor operators have had the opportunity to gather the information that comes with long experience. Therefore, not only is the construction of offshore wind farms in the North Sea sometimes nerve-wracking, but so also is the subsequent planned and unplanned support services necessary over their anticipated 20 year life cycle.
Enabling the efficient and low-risk Operation of Offshore Wind Farms
Our partner BTC has already faced the early stage wind farm challenges and developed a grid control and management solution based on its experience with the first German offshore wind farm "alpha ventus," a system that has been up and running successfully for more than two years now.
The BTC Wind Farm Center™ is designed to minimize operational risks. Its integrated SCADA system controls all wind turbines and the wind farm grid. In addition, BTC Wind Farm Center™ facilitates remote fault detection and removal, often preventing expensive human in situ maintenance.
But in addition to the basic operational functioning, BTC Wind Farm Center™ also has proven effective in planning maintenance and repair tasks, along with the related workforce scheduling that's tuned into local weather forecasts. Repairs must be made at times that ensure the health and safety of employees. By using this coordinated approach, the BTC Wind Farm Center™ significantly reduces operating costs. Moreover, its web-based collaboration platform facilitates coordination and cooperation between the varied and numerous personnel involved, giving them access to all relevant information and documents according to their needs and access levels.
Where's Microsoft?
In our travels around the globe, the Microsoft Worldwide Utilities team often hears the question "Where's Microsoft?" We smile because it's such a common question, but it's always a reminder that we continually need to remind the industry that we're behind many of the solutions that our partners create to seamlessly solve customer problems.
To address the challenges of wind farm design, installation and maintenance in its Wind Farm Center solution, BTC relied heavily on Microsoft products and technologies:
· The WFC SCADA system is a Windows 2008 Server based, fault-tolerant, high-availability real-time solution for wind farm and power grid control.
· The WFC O&M Taskboard and the WFC Management Dashboard are Microsoft Silverlight applications hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud. They are deployed within Microsoft SharePoint Online (Office 365 Suite) leveraging SQL Azure and Bing Maps (incl. status information)
The Microsoft SERA Architecture has provided the framework for BTS to achieve the flexible integration and faster deployment of all sub-components of BTC Wind Farm Center™.
Our SERA document discussed this type of smart energy ecosystem need in its section on "Performance Oriented Infrastructure" discussing how users and software components would have to have access to platforms and services where they are located, and the services can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud. With regard to the highly variable nature of wind and weather conditions, this performance oriented infrastructure required components that can be efficiently deployed, managed and monitored.
With all things considered, it's one more way that SERA is engaging the industry, solving the problems of the new energy ecosystem that evolves with each and every day.—Jon C. Arnold

O wrote about Spritzdekor - a style that came into popularity in Germany between the World Wars that involved spray (or spritz) painting on white china. The style made its way around the Eastern part of the continent and into Russia. Although originally designed for middle class families' everyday use, it now fetches a pretty price when you can find it.
I think the patterns and spray-painted style are terrific, and I love the variety. Of course I want some. Perhaps I'll have to find a way to reproduce the look.

Photographer's Note
A Touch of Rural Bengal : This is an other image from Birbhum District in West Bengal.A farmer is returning home in the evening hours from his fields with the harvested paddy on his bullock cart.The use of bullocks for ploughing and transportation is still prevalent in Eastern India,as the use of tractors is not widespread due to high operational costs.India in its rural farming still lives a life similar to what existed some fifty years back.

Hello Farhat,
A great capture from Rural Bengal. Nice natural colors and clarity. I like the expression of the struggling bullocks. I wish the driver was not posing for your camera and was more busy in driving the cart. Your photo makes me remember of my ancestral village in Burdwan.
Thanks for sharing.
P.S There has been rapid developments in agriculture and overall standard of life in rural areas in the last 50 years. could you please care to highlight that as well?

Hello Farhat,
You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spectacle in which the cute bullock is carrying the harvested paddy of the loading platform. It's a pastoral scene. It's also pastoral landscape for the surrounding paddy field.
Kind regards,
Fis2 (144299) 2013-12-09 23:44
Witaj Farhat!

Hello Farhat,
interesting and magnificent daily-life scene from rural life in West Bengal.
Really like your centrat POV,excellently applied close-up,but above all so delightful light,which creates here so unique atmosphere.
Well done!
Have a nice day
holmertz (84391) 2013-12-10 2:53
Hello Farhat,
A very good photo from rural India. The light was difficult but it's well handled and the colours are very attractive. There is an interesting symmetry in the movements of the bullocks.
Kind regards,
subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2013-12-10 3:08
hello, nice sharp presentation with the bullock cart and its driver. Excellent clarity and depth. I would go for some wide in such cases. Overall your shot is sharp and have a nice mood of semi rural bengal (I used the work 'semi' for the cast road instead of red earthy one). Tfs.
pierrefonds (94749) 2013-12-10 4:26
Hi Farhat,
The length of the field is giving depth to the composition.You have captured well the serious expression of the farmer. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the bullock cart. The heat haze or the strong light is affecting slightly the output of the colorts. Have a nice day.
jhm (192797) 2013-12-10 4:36
Hello Farhat,
A wonderful image with the two cows in foreground.
The farmer is very proud with his carriage.
You chose a very well angle this care for depth and perspective.
A nice composition, lovely colours, sharpness makes everything nice.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
No_One (4) 2013-12-10 4:45
Hi Farhat,
I love this, I dont know if this scene should make me smile the way it does, but it does make me smile broadly. The bullocks look like you have caught them singing, the way their heads are raised together looks brilliant. A novel way to capture this scene head on this way, very nice presentation indeed. You managed the light really well too.
Thanks as always
timecapturer (49288) 2013-12-10 4:57
Hi Farhat
like this! A real sense of the character and industry that has obviously gone into the harvest. Difficult light but you have managed it superbly so that it adds to the impact and beauty of the image. A wonderful image presented perfectly.
snunney (130965) 2013-12-10 5:08
Hello Farhat,
A fine capture of this rural scene. The driver seems very proud to be photographed with his team of bullocks and fully laden cart. Good control over depth of field to lift them slightly from the background, creating a 3-D effect. I like the warm light and colours.
Sergiom (116466) 2013-12-10 5:22
Bonjour Farhat,
Il serait peut être temps que tu t'enlèves du chemin, sinon tu vas te faire passer dessus par ces deux vaches qui semblent bien pressées de rentrer à la maison. Le léger contre jour est superbe.
Silvio1953 (192973) 2013-12-10 5:53
Ciao Farhat, lovely daily life composition with nice rural scene, excellent clarity, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio
ikeharel (99531) 2013-12-10 8:18
Beautiful taken picture, Farhat, the man on the cart was looking at you directly. The Bullocks looks superbly in motion and with clear view - but there is some strange light on back side, maybe the mist still prevailed.
Good night,
adramad (62896) 2013-12-10 10:13
Hi Farhat.
For indeed a lovely and very well captured the wagon with oxen so Front rural touch, the lighting a bit difficult tapeworms.
Good also both luminosity and clarity.
Well done.I like.
Have a good day.
Best wishes.
SnapRJW (31631) 2013-12-10 10:41
Hello Farhat - I love your square on composition with the triangular formation of the two bullocks and their driver. The animal look quite skittish but the driver seems relaxed and unconcerned. A super DL shot with some lovely small details, the bells and beads around the bullocks' necks for example. Nicely seen. Warm regards rosemary
jcpix (14030) 2013-12-10 17:25
Hi farhat,
Very aptly titles this shot, it really does have a look and feel of being out in the countryside. I must say, you're brave to be standing in front of these large animals, even though they are under the control of the farmer...hope this was taken at a distance with a longer focal length! :)
A beautifully lit scene and exposed splendidly to highlight the atmosphere. Solid, natural colors and a pleasing depiction of the every day activity of the locals. A wonderful result indeed.
Friendly wishes,
mrichat (1755) 2013-12-10 19:24

Look this photo .
Best wishes,
mirosu (16313) 2013-12-10 22:24
Hi Farhat,
Excellent snapshot. Your lower POV is very good and the composition superb. Smart tight crop (close-up) choice to accentuate the bullock card with splendid sharpness, nice colors, excellent light. The direct farmer's eye contact is very good. Well done.
danos (110395) 2013-12-10 22:26
Hi Farhat,
nice the snapshot with the farmer on his bullock cart to be full of harvesr as return home.I like the rural snapshot with the clarity of the image to be very good.
Zengi001 (2883) 2013-12-11 3:32
Hi Farhat,
Very natural pose of these two bullocks and the rider.
Good composition, nice and - a little dangerous :) - POV.
Thanks for sharing,
ourania (51103) 2013-12-11 14:00
Hello Farhat,
an interesting picture from rural life in Bengal. I like very much your symmetrical composition that allows details and colours of the fields to frame the scene in the middle. You've given great depth and textures that enhance the vividness and impact of the photo. The direct gaze of the farmer is a strong point of interest. The young oxen are cute and lively, in this scene they look like puppets handled by a puppeteer:) Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,
delpeoples (60326) 2013-12-11 17:28
Namaste dear Farhat
hehehe what a great shot, but look out he doesn't run you over. Not just the man, but the animals look like they are posing for you and you captured a beautifully sharp and well-defined image of daily life in this exotic, varied country of yours. Well done!
Warmest wishes

Ciao Farhat
una immagine che mi riporta indietro di molti anni, quando ero ancora un bambino e questi carri li vedevo nelle nostre campagne, sono passati 50 anni e tutto si è trasformato e non sempre in meglio.
Bella la luce che colpisce il carro con il suo conduttore.

Hello Farhat,
A wonderful daily life scene from rural Bengal with good sharpness and excellent warm cold color contrasts between the blue and yellow. The sidelight has given nice long shadows and relief. punchy light contrasts with good density and shadow detail. Tfs!

Tout bon le cadrage et la prise de près, les couleurs et la lumière sont fantastique, vraiment une très jolie scène de vie

i colori ed il contrasto non sono perfetti però la foto ha una grande suggestione per la bella scena che hai catturato e che hai saputo inserire in una composizione perfetta.
Ciao e buona serata

Exellent capture of rural bengal showing with a soft light the way work in the fields is done
Like also the landscape at the back
Well done,tfs
maloutim (13441) 2013-12-15 0:36
Hi Fahrat,
Lovely rural scene in the evening light.
I like the way Indian people decorate their animals and agricultural tools, like the blue parts on the cart or the necklaces on the young oxen.
I also like the way you managed the evening light in front of you. It gives the picture a very special end-of-workday feeling .
This reminds me of an early morning trek we did around the mount of Arunachala in Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu last March.
I am sharing a picture in WS with you.
Best regards.
elenimavrandoni (0) 2013-12-15 16:54
a great image and a nice tribute to the farmer who is struggling for the daily living...

Fine rural Bengal classical agriculture image which could be centuries of tradition, the cattle drawn wagon with paddy load, standing driver and cobblestone road through the green field.
Good job,

I'm thrilled to share with you Mandi and Josh's Webb Barn Engagement session. This entire session was just magical. The weather was great, the lighting was great, and they were one of the most loving couples I've met so far. Besides the bugs, which we could have done with out. Wethersfield is a cute little town and the center of it, where the Webb Barn is located, has so many great spots for portraits. There were a lot of locations that we could have opted for, but it was fitting to have their engagement session at the Webb Barn.
See Mandi and Josh will be getting married in about a month at Wickham Park. We could have headed there, but in order to keep that place special we head to Wethersfield for their Webb Barn Engagement session. Mandi and Josh had a blast walking and lounging around the barn area and Main St. in Wethersfield. The little specks that would have prone anyones allergies were great for their Webb barn engagement session and those are some of my favorite images.
I'm thrilled to be photographing their wedding next month and I know they are going to love the images from that day as well. Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Which one is your favorite? Enjoy the portraits!
Looking to have a Webb Barn engagement session, contact me for more information.
Location: Webb Barn, Wethersfield, CT

"When I first saw a guitar as a child, at around 9 years-of-age, it only had two strings on it. I started trying to make sounds with them. And I did not have a clue. I begged my mom and dad for a new guitar, and some guitar lessons. Several months later, for Christmas, they bought me a cheap red sunburst steal string acoustic guitar and signed me up for group guitar lessons at a local high school in the evenings. Surrounded by about 6 - 8 people ranging from 12 - 65 years-of-age I watched the young lady guitar teacher diagramming chords on the chalk board for the song: Puff The Magic Dragon. I never quite grasped it. Then she gave us the chords for Proud Mary from CCR. Being a young 70s wannabe Rock Star I took much more interest in that song. However, I remember struggling to learn that song. The D chord was impossible. And the steal strings were killing my fingers. I also frequently went next door to my neighbor's house. An older man, Jim, in his 60s along with his younger son, Lynn, in his early 20s both taught me a thing or two. What I remember most is Jim teaching me a one-string song he wrote called: 'Jim's Ditty,' and Lynn teaching me how to play E position Bar Chords with 'Smoke On The Water' by Deep Purple. I also remember watching Lynn playing 12 Bar Blues in the Key of E. When I asked him to teach me that he said: "That is too difficult. It will be a couple of years before I can teach you how to play that!" With all due respect and love to Lynn, I know he was not a professional guitar instructor, I now teach my six-year-old students how to play 12 Bar Blues in the Key of E within 1 hour!"

DU's Beau Bennett signs with Penguins
Word out of Pittsburgh is the Pens have signed DU hockey player Beau Bennett to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Bennett missed most of last season with a wrist injury, but was a former first-round pick of the Pens.
His departure means the Pioneers now have lost Bennett, Drew Shore and Jason Zucker to the NHL since their season ended.

Bread & Puppet Theater
I don't know anything about the Bread & Puppet Theater and I'm not going to their local presentation of the "Decapitalization Circus" but I did like the press release photo.The symbolism speaks for itself.
It reminded me of some other local puppet theater news.
War criminal George Bush comes to Fort Campbell to sign copies of his revisionist history memoir for soldiers and families. Puppets buying the puppet's book and getting a thank you for being a pawn. Capitalism at its peak of hypocrisy.
A local soldier with a pregnant wife is expected to be taken off life support after being shot in the neck and his spinal cord severed in Afghanistan. His child will never know his father as Bush travels freely around the country and current puppet in chief Obama continues the killing without remorse or justification. Puppets don't have a conscious, they just move to the pulling of the strings.
The ADL came to middle Tennessee yesterday to train law enforcement officers from all over the country on how to handle dangerous domestic terrorist radicals. "There's more extremist activity today then ever before," Bill Nigut with the Anti-Defamation League said. Methinks the ADL is the extremist group that police need to be warned against. Brainwashing sessions by the Foxman boys are a real danger to citizens as the puppet police are indoctrinated to see us as the threat and to shoot first and give us our Miranda rights later.
We all know the puppet strings need to be cut. We just can't seem to find the scissors.

It is worrisome some of these local police unfortunately will buy anything and local police chiefs are being replaced as fast as possible with hand picked selections who tow the party line. We have had a couple resign around here when all the theatrics began. It was a kind of an I am out of here kind of thing. Some of them shouldn't be wearing a gun and a badge and this is something I believe I can speak about because that is what I retired from.ReplyDelete
I always appreciate a good photoshop also!

James, you're more than welcome. You and all the others there are doing a great job. !ReplyDelete
Mick, if that video is real then Fox is crossing some huge lines. The problem is I don't think there's any law saying they can't do that.

Our magic keyboards and whining in the echo chamber will cut the strings.ReplyDelete
it would be cool to pass out some literature to the cops before the ADL came strutting around preachin'ReplyDelete

Will Grigg puts it so much more succinctly.ReplyDelete
The independent bloggers raise the bar for us mere pontificaters, so high.
Why say something oneself, when what one's been feeling has been expressed so perfectly already?
Puppet strings become untethered when the peoples needs are interrupted/not met. This happens when the native currency becomes destabilized. Or when their faith becomes shaken.
Or when the puppeteers feel the need to replace their equipment.
Hello China, it's been too long.

MOst cops are fully under propoganda. Thats how the get promotions and "fit in".ReplyDelete
Another segment of law enforcement are vets who carry on agressive ways from the military. Those guys usually lead the pack.

It says 11 comments have been made but when I actually click into the comments I see only 9. Weird...ReplyDelete
Blogger is sending a lot of comments to the spam bucket and I have to check and manually put them in the post. Have no idea why but it does this at times. Let me know if you post one and it doesn't show up.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2011 at 9:42 AM
Yeah, I figured it was probably a spam issue. Was wondering though, do you often get pro-Israel shill comments here? I post here a lot and don't notice them much but Ive been reading a lot about paid shills posting on various blogs and mainstream sites alike. I know you wouldn't censor them anyway and just let us rip them apart with truth :-)ReplyDelete

Very curious Kenny. Homeland Security is obviously a term that reflects days "gone by" of Nazi Germany. it is a Nazi term pure and simple yet no one is crying antisemitism. The ADL etc. is not saying you can never use this evocative term, in fact the Zionists are administering it and presiding over it. Now that is extremely curious. Some serious history needs to be uncovered on the real relationship between Judaic fascism and Nazism...they sure seem to be similar.ReplyDelete
