I am liking these little vignettes a la Coveteur. So here's an encore for the mask I wore at the Opening of the Ballet. (For those who are familiar with Romeo & Juliet, we opened with the regal Montagues & Capulets promenade to heavy Prokofiev music -- everyone masked and in their various costumes for the show). The flowers are freshly received from the performance.

| Wild Arrangement Mask and Flowers: from the show Shoes: Yves Saint Laurent Photo: The Foolish Aesthete |
The mask was so wild, I looked like The Firebird. All the stranger since I was wearing my White Swan costume with it. That's a serious split personality disorder. And for those who have ever judged a book by its cover, Euripides made it to the arrangement purely on the basis of color. (Alright, nothing beats the Greek tragedies. I truly love them.)

Why, do you ask, are those shoes walking on top? Because they had been chastised for even considering going on top of Euripides. ;-) Actually, I always think of the ballet whenever I use my old YSLs. The black, embroidered lace is reminiscent of our costumes.
By the way, Photographer friends out there, how do you stamp your photos with your name/logo so nobody can steal it from you?
congrats:)
ReplyDeletewell one way is to use photoshop to watermark the photos as you wish.or you can use word as well.http://wordprocessing.about.com/library/WordTutorials/blwatermark2.htm
or
In Elements 2.0:
Ctrl-Shift-N
OK
Choose the Text Tool
Pick a font, style, and size
Choose a color
Click in the image where you want to type
Type your name
Enter
Flatten
Save
If you want a copyright symbol, use Alt-0169, and type the year and your name:

It also helps if you drag the Layers pallet to the workspace so you can see which layer you're working on.

Thanks, everyone!
ReplyDelete@Songbird - Many thanks for the tips. I use a Mac and as yet don't have Photoshop. So I am looking for the Mac equivalent of what you suggested.
And it's lovely to always "meet" new dancers and other talented folks out there in the blog world xoxoxo
This is so coveteur-ish! Love it.
