The Artist

“There are two artists myths, one says that an artist will have acclaim and rises at some point of his life but that his life will be longer than his fame and wealth. That he will fade into obscuity, all the more bitter rfor having once known such shining acceptance.

The other myth is the polar opposite of the first, and it says that a deserving artist will be ignored, impoverished, demoralized on his lifetime, onlyy to be “discovered” by later generations whi will laud him endlessly.”

Whitney Otto: The Passion Dream Book, pages 8-9

The Passion Dream Book

 

So many tuts so little time…

Today I have started my first lesson on Scrapbooking. I mean the serious ones, not just the ones I take while I random different places and taking more advanced lessons, thus letting me a bit exhausted! I have started with the basics and learned tips that I really didn’t know. These lessons are going to take me many days, probably weeks, but while I learn I will be able to start creating my own embellishments, and kits. I like the idea of using other great creator’s kits, be them free or not. In fact, I have just finished scrapbooking a lovely poster that I intend to print at the lab, as my new printer has A3 dimensions which is good but not for big posters. I see the fabulous creations people do and I feel inspired. I also love drawing myself certain little designs for children mainly, very sweet, so perhaps I will upload them to deviantart. I will see.

I also have to start with lessons for Adobe Photoshop Elements and especially Adobe Acrobat. I want to get a Bamboo kit, this is so important!

Although I love PSP I realize that there is a great way of developing creativity using Adobe Photoshop so I will do that too, lots of tutorials here and there, I need to make a weekly list, if not I could become nuts!

Scrapbooking is lovely, it is what allows us to do things for others and also to create things for our own satisfaction. Ah, internet is always helping out with Scrapbooking.

Autumn

 

Autumn has finally arrived and the weather becomes rainy, windy, cloudy. I have new lovely boots by Camila Casas, they are made in veal, and I am getting ready to go out and visit my father but first I will go with my mom to the city and recover a silver pendant that was broken.  Thanks God I have a warranty!

Out to the city

  It was funny the other day at the Chinese restaurant where a man was sitting two tables ahead and backwards. He would move his right hand and fingers as if talking to himself. we were quite amazed and i started imaging what he would be talking about. He drank a bottle of wine then asked for another one. We all at the table were trying to guess what was going on when suddenly I did not want to wait for more and walked past him to discover that he was writing music! And it was all.

Keeping away from negative influence is what I have been doing the last couple of days.

And still saying that life is beautiful like this afternoon, far from the noises, alone we all three around a nice table in a very old restaurant that believe it or not dates from before 1492…

WWW Stendhal Syndrome

 

It is great to have connections over internet regarding all sorts of things and subjects we like/enjoy. But after sometime I have discovered that some places are perhaps less appealing to me and frankly I could not say why exactly. So today I received a comment that I should approve on one of my pages inviting me to be a member of a group at yahoo dedicated to Clara Bow…. Clara Bow is one of  the silent actress I have seen less movies about. I like her allure, her pose and I know there is a serious association dedicated to this actress. I remember only Pandora’s Box featuring CB. I have read a lot about her about three years ago. I do not have time to do all the things I like. I would become nuts. And this is what Internet can give us, a magical extremely vast array of places where one can get immersed for hours without realizing. Then, feel tired and still wanting to see more. The Stendhal Syndrome right in front of your computer.

It’s True…

I thought it was a pure illusion and that I could spend the whole day without having coffee. It works sometimes… others I just need the cup of hot and sweet coffee after a hard time or difficult time. Today I found out that the coke my bro spilled over the keyboard /and that we thought it was cleaned/ has appeared in a way that did not allow me to write anything. goodness…! I had nevertheless cleaned everything the best I could but today it came again, sweet hard syrup under some keystrokes… NO! I removed all keys, cleaned everything, a little plastic chip jumped and I decided to find it afterwards… Then, I could not find it so the Y could not be fixed. I looked over the floor with my brother. We seemed stupid treasure hunters…. to no avail. Then, I quit. My  head was hurting too much. And when I thought I would have to find a time next week to get this little piece of plastic… then I see it over the table, when we both had been looking for it. My brother thought I was joking, I said no, but then… yes, really I needed a cup of hot coffee, I felt so bad.

And yes, it helps although my headache is not completely gone… I had to check for very tiny numbers in the plastic devices to install the keys… I felt like in Lost with those strange numbers… and tonight I will watch Lost, two chapters while I eat a Durun and drink Coke… extremely away from my sweet Dell…

Haitian Folklore

LINK

Have you heard of Martha Jean Claude? I heard a few of her songs, in Creole and also in Spanish. But especially one that I cannot recall its title where she speaks about a group of people who go in the night with a candle following a pilgrimage or some sort of voodoo festivity. I just loved so much this song. And no way to find it without knowing first its title…

LOVELY!

DON’T BE LIKE THAT,  DAH’LIN’!

As in Jacmel, as in Montrouis…

Little has changed from these kodachromes taken in 1949. The same style, the beauty and ugliness and above all the same “hope” that can be felt in each corner of the peasants in the countryside. Haiti with a lovely glamour declined afterwards and became the sad sun rising everyday in muddy waters…
