Original artwork description: When I am walking around in the nature, by investigating my path and my creativity, there is suddenly a spark that catches my eyes, that I can reflect to its shapes, texture, and colors. this starts a creative process in me. Then I will search for a female figure with a unique mysterious look, which can be best for me to draw and to paint, so all together can be reflect out of this process. After the digital process I start a process that is more traditional, by using acrylic, ink, graphite, color pencil, aerosol paints, and whatever that is necessary for the final result. Then put an over varnish laqa to protect as necessary. My art is integrating the beauties of the nature with a mysterious femininity that wraps it.

26/365 Speedy edit from me today, I've got a suitcase to pack and a car to drive to Norfolk! Coupla' days shooting, with friends to be made and beaches to be explored. So today's shot is a little rushed! Have a great weekend people :-) **update** So I just nestled into my cosy hotel room in Norfolk. I've had a wonderful day. I went to breakfast with my darling's second wife, who is absolutely wonderful and warm. Being around her makes me feel like I am with him again, hearing her stories of their time together is learning new things about him all over again. The times where I really want to talk to him, to keep asking him about his life and the things he's done, I get to do that through her and his friends. More of that will come, hopefully, in the future :-) I had a lovely drive over, he was constantly in my thoughts as he always is. He's becoming imprinted into my mind, I can feel it happening. It's funny, actually, people say that every day goes by and nothing ever feels like it changes in life, until you look up 20 years later and it's all different. Not for me. I feel every inch of my life changing all the time, I can feel it shift and move, become lighter and heavier. Every day feels like a step forward, it's a step further away from the last time I saw him, but a step closer to going wherever he went, and regardless what lies for us after we go, if he's blazed the trail then it can't be too bad. He's either waiting for me, or there's no more living without him, so death for me has become a win-win :-) Re-reading that sounds quite dark, but I don't mean it to be. I love living, I cherish the time I have been given in this body and I am grateful every day for the gifts of kindness, touch, taste, colour, wind on my skin, the smell of the air, the light on different surfaces. I adore it, it sustains me. When things are good, I worship life. When things are hard, being grateful for life helps me step out of the bad situation. When things are downright awful, letting my mind fall silent and being quietly in those things has been my boat in a raging sea. I always used to dread death, be so scared of not knowing, I used to be so scared of feeling like I hadn't made the best of what I've had. Being with him has completed me in so many ways, and by that I mean completed the Experience of Life I hoped I would be able to have. I felt so loved, and I loved. I loved without expectation or condition, I loved him ever so simply. I still feel loved, I still feel special. I feel him around me everywhere. I feel him smile at me and the decisions I make, I feel him guide me and playfully keep watch over the Bad. Maybe it's just a loony part of grieving, but whatever, I'll take it. If it's a part of my mind, it's a part of my life that nature wants me to have, and since his energy is now a part of nature, then he wants me to have it. So it is mine :-) Anyway, I had a little crash after such a lovely, light day. Writing this has helped. That's all from me, night night world.

My name is Monica Lazăr, I live in Bucharest, Romania, and I discovered my passion for photography four years ago. From the beginning, photography was like the air so much-needed in those moments I felt like drowning. My social anxiety and the permanent lack of confidence made me an isolated person.

Taiwanese sculptor Gaylord Ho was born in Hsin-Wu, Taiwan. Born to poor farmers Gaylord spent most of his free time helping, along with his brother, with the chores of scratching out a living on a small rice farm in middle Taiwan. His parents, while certainly not well off financially, were accepting and loving of their children and believed strongly in education. Gaylord was sent off to the public school system as soon as he was of age.
