The Godfather is the product of Francis Ford Coppola's directorial genius, and the genius of everyone involved - actors, screenwriters, props people, etc. I've seen the trilogy a few times and I would definitely love to watch it again.

There is a need for “good guys” to man up and show the way for the next generation. Young men need a narrative that they can connect with. They need role models and exemplars that can portray a positi
Hollie Fernando draws inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite era for her striking images, using analogue film to create fantastical worlds.
1. Knowledge Aperture - The aperture is the piece inside of the camera that determines how much light is allowed to hit the film. It can affect the photo by making it lighter or darker depending on the size of the aperture. Shutter - The shutter opens and closes for a choice amount of time and also allows in light. It affects photos by making them blurred or crisp depending on how long the shutter is open. It can also affect the darkness of the picture. Burning and Dodging - This is the process in which a part of a photo is shielded from the light, while the rest is still exposed. This is used to darken or lighten a certain area of the photograph. Under-Exposure - This is when not enough light has gotten to the film. The picture will turn up too light to see. Rembrandt lighting - This type of lighting occurs when one side of the model's face is lit by light and a triangle below the opposite eye appears. This photograph shows evidence of burning and dodging. On the top part of the photograph it is lighter than it was because of this. 3. Performance Portraiture This photo of Megan Lindahl is a prime example of portraiture because it not only shows the person, but something about her. By photographing the line of earrings the character is given a sense of uniqueness and the side angle gives a nice profile of the model. The background of lockers and another person brings a sense of place to the photograph and shows that she is a student. This photo of my sister, Sara Castagnino, is another good example of portraiture. The scene is of her eating and caught off gaurd. The angle of being above the subject gave uniqueness to the photo. The shot is crisp and close, which brings the view into the photo. Still Life This photo of my shoe is a good example of still life. It is an object out of place in the picture and is crisp in the foreground so that it is the first thing to catch your eye. Abstract This photo of a tree is an example of abstract. It is an ordinary tree, but it is taken from an odd angle giving it lines of travel through the photo. It is also extremely crisp so that all of the texture of the tree is shown. Documentary This photo of children riding the bus is a wonderful example of documentary. The photo shows children in their natural habitat as most documentary photos do. The picture is a clear picture and depicts the characters well.
Known for its tolerance and multiculturalism, outcasts and the socially marginalized flocked to San Franciso on the cusp of the 1970s. An eclectic community was formed.

Anyone that has "moved" can tell you that there will be certain items, that no matter how much you loved them in your old home, that just don't work well in the new abode. The architecture, furniture, setting...whatever...the personality of the new house just doesn't mesh with all your old decor. Our previous home lent itself to being more formal in the Living Room. I had a lot more space in that house and a lot more furniture. I could move things around, try them out in various places. But now in the new smaller house, I'm limited in the amount of superfluous "stuff" that I can have taking up precious decor space. Looking back on this, all I see is too much stuff... I have a few old pieces of statuary, and a few antique and vintage busts that I've found over the years. I love to decorate with these pieces, but my vintage, slightly quirky "Diana" bust just didn't work in the new space. I've had to be a little practical in my approach to decor here. I only have the main Living Room upstairs, and it has to do double duty; a place that we use on a daily basis, and also a place where we can have people over...it needs to be stylish and practical, and not too strange. Here are a few Pinterest photos to give you an idea of how a piece can be used in a more modern eclectic setting. Here's an example of "Diana" truly gone off the deep end of "eclectic". But you know, somehow it works, especially if you're into modern eclectic and slightly... what's the word?...colorful? hmmmm....I don't think I'd like to be greeted with this every day... Classical statuary does seem more at home in a more formal setting, but I like how it's being used in a modern vignette, below. Here's are two examples being used for jewelry, which I really think works... In a secluded covered garden room or porch, Here, back to a more classic space. I love the idea of using broken bits of statuary. They're such a wonderful find, you'd never want to throw them out. Love this with an industrial piece for a base. Using a small bust in a cloche; love this small vignette. Here's another little French bust that I keep in the Dining Room. She really is "busted" since her base is gone. But she's comfy in a vintage urn. She's on the Dining Room Buffet now... (last Fall) So here's Diana downstairs on one of my pieces of vintage shelving. I didn't spend much time "styling" this, there were just several pieces that didn't have a home, so they ended up sharing the same level space. I don't get much natural light coming in so I had to have some overhead lighting. Living room at the "old house". I had her for sale when a shop owner came by; I'm so glad she looked past her. I think I'll keep her... you can find links to all photos on my Pinterest Board, Statuary xoxo, Joining in here: Sundays at Home at Love of Home Share it One More Time at Shabby Fufu Amaze Me Monday at Dwellings Inspiration Monday at Refresh Restyle Tweak it Tuesday at Cozy Little House The Scoop at Stone Gable Dream Create Inspire at Lehman Lane Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style Share Your Style at The Essence of Home Feathered Nest Friday at French Country Cottage Inspiration Gallery at Craftberry Bush
