And now a calendar for the “pulzella” (Merins’ daughter):
It is focused on “panorama” because a fe days ago, while we were having a conversation via sms she told me she loves panorama shots.
The cat is an extra picture she has chosen from my website.
This one is for my friend Merins…. this time the calendar was more focused on what she loves doing (singing) and her singer friends and group of singer (Ethno Voice).
Some of the pictures (the 3 group pictures + the picture under March: the man with the guitar) are not mine, the others are picture I took on Jan 8th 2011.
And finally the calendar for my bedroom:
Under (or above) each month there is a picture taken on that month of any of the past years.
In the central line I had put soap bubbles shots for decoration and because I do love those shots
Let’s see who can say which is the “planned” pictures composition and the reason of this pictures-matching
I will have this calendars printed tomorrow afternoon.
Something tells me that the work is not over, but what is left are probably calendars that I have to send via mail due to distance issues…:)
On 19th December officially started “my” Christmas vacation.
This means that on 19th December afternoon I have started doing what I had been desiring to do for at least 4 weeks:
just stay with my pictures and imagination!
since it’s the end of the year I opted to go ahead with the calendars project.
On Monday I created a soap-bubble theme calendar for my mother.
This one will hang on a wall in our apartment corridor for the next 12 months.
On Tuesday I created a nature-events theme calendar for the webmaster: For the first time he will hang his calendar in a room in north Italy. Big changes in our life are going to happen in a couple of week, I want to give him something that would make him feel at home even for just a second per day.
On late Tuesday a good man I met on the web asked me a calendar for his granddaughter. He asked me a calendar full of cats
Here it is. Except for the cat on the left bottom corner, that is the grandpa’s cat picture taken with a cellphone the rest all all cats picture I have taken from late Summer 2006 to October 2011.
I tried to use lighter colors since it will go as a present for a 7 year old girl. I hope she’ll enjoy it.
This was actually the most difficult calendar since I have no idea of what a little girl might like (but this is another story…)
Now the last big dilemma is left: WHAT ABOUT MINE CALENDAR?
I know that these calendar are not exactly the most useful thing in the world, but people receiving one of these as present seem to enjoy his/her calendar for the whole year.
Plus: I really love making them because it’s another way to enjoy the process that start with a just-white page and ends with a colorful page.
It could have get much more, in theory.
But I am not good enough.
I wonder
Am I not properly wired for these studies?
Or I am just not enough for everything running on this earth?.
Family and Friends keep on saying “the important is to go ahead”…
and I keep asking “to where?”
and they keep silent
I am sorry to cause sadness
But.
I go out.
It is soon after the exam.
It’s cold.
They are there, as always, jumping and twittering around.
I could see 4 of them while I am walking toward the car parking
3 of them fly away 1 stays:
He/she allows me to get unusually close.
I turn around: there are students in a class following a lecture…
While I am wondering if what I was doing could be of any disturb I realized that:
Considering similar circumstances
for the first time
I was EXACTLY where I would have loved to be for years (since September 2006).
It’s not the answer I am looking for, but it’s much better than mere silence.
There are funny status message based “games” that people play on FB, among this there is the one to check on a wikipedia page which was the “number-one hits” the week you were born… I used the US list cause I have no idea where to get the Italian list (actually I don’t even care).
It was funny to see people reaction to this game results: some liked the song, some said “i didn’t know it”, some were happy.
Out of curiosity I checked which was “mine” song and I found that when I was born there was this song:
The U2, I’m not an expert of music but I generally like their songs. I think U2′s music is appreciated by my friends on FB too, some left a comment saying “You are lucky” – if we consider a luck that there was something nice played on radio or whatever when you were born.
I couldn’t avoid smiling at reading the song title and meaning since I use to sign my works writing “ElyLon” that is just a kind of pun with the contract form of my name and first 3 letters of my surname that form the English word “lonely”.
If I were able to sing… I would sing this song not to a person but to Photography… but don’t worry. I won’t sing.
You ask to your boyfriend:”what about if for Christmas present you buy me the filter and whatever is necessary for infrared photography?”
Your boyfriend looks for information online (to know what to buy)
You both start testing the camera ability to see IR light and you ask him:”why don’t you try to look through the lenses toward me?
That’s the result.
IR light test went fine (apparently)… I’m such a conventional boring girlfriend!
For the first time he will hang his calendar in a room in north Italy. Big changes in our life are going to happen in a couple of week, I want to give him something that would make him feel at home even for just a second per day.
