The leaves are brightly colored outside.  And the days sunny. So I went into my archives to find some images with splendid autumn foliage.  Saturday I reserved for studio work .  I had been tidying up my collection of muses and had a few lovely ladies ready to star in my photographic extravaganzas.  The final element was the inclusion of the very expensive, very evident presence of construction in the neighborhood. I had a lot of autumn pictures but I wanted to showcase technology and machines.  As luck would have it we were having some road repair done right outside our house.  And voila I had the tree elements with very little trouble;  Construction sites, beautiful women and autumn leaves.
The final images showed the positive effect the city road work has on the people in the neighborhood.
I created some images of the woman in  a neighborhood that would make any humble (or less than humble) construction mogul proud.

You could interpret it in two ways.  Either the elegant ladies of the neighborhood deserve a neighborhood in tip-top shape (hence the necessary inconvenience of the construction work).  Or the work that the city does to maintain its streets and traffic working efficiently is so important it creates a spirit of progress (aka construction muses if you will).

There was a lot of other stuff to do this weekend.  For some reason I had a large amount of creative energy. I am in the process of refining my autumn/winter wardrobe and this gave me an excellent incentive to do some filming of the various every day objects I came across.  So there are some new strong images in my everyday portraits.  Go to https://kvfabian.wordpress.com/ to see them

And the sunny day compelled me to take my camera outside for a photoshoot at the park.  The light is best two hours after sunrise or two hours before sunset so I was up before breakfast taking some pictures.

With all this creative work I did this weekend I had little patience for framing.  I will take care of it in during the rest of the week.

vg1. Introducing Val Gal by Kathy Fabian

September 9, 2015 In the romantic novels the artist goes way up to his tiny attic on the very top of his house to create and be free.  Sometimes it has a great view of Paris.  Or sometimes the person is a writer who creates great novels and ideas. They both seal themselves from the rest of the world to do great things.  Well why not imitate?   I live in a woman's residence in a very small room. When I first arrived I imagined it as a womb.  A creative womb in which I would heal and rest and create great art.  I would sit on the bed cross yoga position with hands on my legs and look out the window and the blue sky. I would imagine I meditated.   I would imagine I was one with the blue sky. Well years have gone by and I no longer think of the room as a womb.  It became a small and impoverished cell for a while and then my imagination took over again.  I thought of it much like that attic. So now it is my studio in which I develop and frame the photographs that I create.  I ha

V24. Sparkling for the Celebrations. New Vintage Jewelry

Superstitious?  What kind of rituals do you follow for good luck?  For myself, I like to take advantage of special times to see if I can reap good fortune.  For example, if I have something important to organize I am likely to do it on a Holiday or on Sunday. So planning this week's Studio work was a no brainer.  I had recently received a large amount of old jewelry from an estate. The choicer pieces had long gone and these were left.  They were supposed to be unsellable.  So I asked how they were organized. I said if you give almost them to me, I will organize them for you in the proper way.  But I was given them instead. The owner felt they were just cluttering up the house.  Luckily I have my jewelry collection. To get them they had to be quickly boxed and taken off the premises.  But once I brought them home, there was no time to organize them anymore because of the Holiday Preparations.  So this Saturday I took some time to clean the antique jewelery and to put them pro
