Hi, I'm Lucinda
The photo was taken with my new Canon EOS 450D (with a tamron 18-200mm lense), by me in the mirror. It's a little overexposed, but at my age, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Bare Bones Bio:
I was born in Louisiana, USA in 1956, youngest of four girls. In 1967 we all moved to New Jersey when my father was transferred. I've always loved to read and soon gravitated towards Sci Fi, Fantasy, and nonfiction (mostly English History). The last was influenced by watching Masterpiece Theatre. I had the opportunity to go to the UK and Greece on 10 day Easter trips through my high school, which instilled in me an itch to travel. After one year of college,(I learned a lot, but unfortunately not much from my professors and text books) I joined the Air Force and went to Japan and England. I married a fellow GI (Bill), in England, got out of the Air Force (Bill stayed in)and went back to the States. Bill and I then lived in Rancho Cordova, California (where we had our first son, Charles),
Biloxi, Mississippi (where we had our second son, James), Oxfordshire, UK (For me, thank you Bill), and San Antonio, Texas (where we live now). Bill is retired from the Air Force and drives a Big Rig for J. B. Hunt. I am an office manager for a carwash. Charles and James graduated last May from University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M at College Station respectively. Yeah!!!
Interests:
Reading - Mostly nonfiction history, though I have widened the field somewhat. I also like journals and diaries and have been reading "The Diary of Samuel Pepys" on and off for a while now. I'm currently on Vol. VII 1666. (I haven't gotten to the great fire yet). My fiction tends to run to fantasy, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman to name a few.
Music - I grew up on rock, folk, musicals, classical, and Gilbert and Sullivan. I still love all that and have added jazz, blues, bluegrass, celtic and a little country. I don't play any instruments and can't sing (the singing talent in our family seemed to lessen with each new sister and I'm the baby of the bunch), but I'm an enthusiastic listener.
Art (Drawing, Photography and Oil Painting) - One of the regular pastimes of my sisters and I growing up was paper dolls. We used typing paper to make swimsuit clad paper dolls with pattern book heads. Then we spent countless hours drawing and coloring clothes for them. Depending on the current story, they could be clothes from Regency England, Colonial America, or Star Trek. I also drew faces from the hairdo magazines and was happy if they looked fairly human. I now draw and have recently taken up oil painting. I'm a definite amateur at photography. I've taken pictures since the mid 70s when I went to Japan, but they are mostly of my travels, kids and cats. I've got a lot to go through to see which ones are worth posting. I bought my first digital camera last April (09) for my birthday (I ordered it in April, received it in May, for my birthday in June. (I don't believe in being too literal about such things) I bought PhotoShop in June. I've still got a lot to learn on both, but it's a lot of fun.
Other - My sister Gail and I love The Teaching Company lectures. We both buy history, I occasionally buy literature and she occasionally buys math and science and we watch each other's. I'm also a tad fond of cats.
I could gush, and probably have, about all the talent I see on RR. I find myself using the words wow and beautiful far too much. I guess I should pull out the Thesaurus.ÂÂ

Ha, my grandmother had a bowl that was just like the footed one in your picture, not sure where she acquired it though. I used to take it down and use it as an imaginary walking transport for toys. Thank you for reminding me of it. I like the bottom filter effect the best, it suits the picture well.

Stellar array of effects employed with these beautiful multicolored/textured Tamari balls! Glowing edges filter on the last one?

I was going to make some crack about "I didn't know Tamaris had...." Anyway, I liked your write-up very much. It's an attractive display from four different cultures and I like the watercolor effect in the middle image. My favorite is the bottom one. The dark sets off the color, especially on the horsehair pot.

the colors & textures really come out full-view. Andrea does wonderful compilations too, made of things she has; she makes terrific collages out of them. This is a really fine gathering, the objects are all beautiful in their own right, but you assembled them really well, Lucinda, for color & texture, and got a nice angle on them (it looks frontal but you're off to one side just a little). The middle brings out the pure color areas and also harmonizes everything in the process (it's a more unified color scheme), and the bottom filters make it all a night-time infra-red vision, where you still got some of the surfaces. The pot looks Native American for sure, but it's even more so in the outlined vision on the bottom. And the top one is beautifully arranged, a beautiful 'collage'. And thanks for the details about their origin, it's a real collection from the world. (Btw, I know "tamari" as a soy sauce from Japan, taken from the top of miso after it fermented: I had no idea it was anything else! Do you serve those balls with rice and veggies?) Wonderful gathering of objects.
