Red Star Cafe: The Hero With a Thousand Faces
http://redstarcafe.blogspot.com/2012/01/hero-with-thousand-faces.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. The Hero With a Thousand Faces. This is one of my first Lensbaby (Xmas present to me) experiments - a pair of wooden angel wings from a Quebec church, and now part of my collection of folk art. They hang on my wall and I suppose one could wear them, literally or figuratively. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. First published in 1949, is a non-fiction book, and seminal work of comparative mythology. He discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero found in world my...

Art Gallery of Ontario Sky Furnace →. The Dog in the Road. February 16, 2012. Google Plus is a paradise for photographers and artists. The richness of sharing of images and dialogue is seductive. The photographers and artists that I go back to over and over for inspiration end up in my “Favourites” circle. And I want to share one with you. Anssi’s image of the dog waiting in the road touched me deeply, as it will touch all of you who have known canine companionship. This entry was posted in Animals.

Cherry Blossoms for Kyoto |
https://redstarcafe.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/kyoto
Canis Major →. Cherry Blossoms for Kyoto. May 13, 2013. September 29, 1997 – May 12, 2013. Cherry trees bloom en masse in early spring in Japan, but the white-to-coral petals shed and die very quickly and the peak bloom is only a week or two. There is a celebration called hanami associated with the peak bloom, which often entails picnics and drinking with old friends under the cherry trees. Sakura evokes both the new beginning of spring and the transience of passing from one stage of life to another.

http://redstarcafe.blogspot.com/2012/01/dream-of-japanese-maple.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Dream of the Japanese Maple. It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them." (Man Ray). A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. From 1843, Anna Atkins produced a book titled British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions ; it was the first book to be illustrated with photographs. The images were...

Sunday, October 2, 2011. The Dream World of Chris Friel. The dazed state of chris friel's images provoke uncertainty - a memory that may or may not have happened; dream matter, foggy and interrupted'. I am more interested in interpretation than representation". As an inspiration, although his portraits remind me of some of Diane Arbus' images. Prepare to be amazed at the landscape and portrait photography by Chris Friel. Magic theatre. Not for madmen only. Posted by Red Star Café. The Red Star Café.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Zombie faces don't scare me, but the Monolith, with its mindless determination and relentless advance, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. When far away an interrupted cry.

Liszt Consolation #3 |
https://redstarcafe.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/liszt-consolation-3
May 13, 2013. Written in 1849 as Chopin passed away, the Consolations divulge a slightly gloomy Liszt, almost sad. As he was writing a book in tribute to his Polish colleague, Liszt seems to have adopted his deceased friend’s language, especially in this third consolation, probably the most popular of all six pieces. This is what Classical 96.3 was playing as Escargot and I skimmed along the sunny/cloudy Queensway this afternoon. Franz Liszt – Consolation No. 3 – Sylvain Blassel, harp. Big Bay, South Afr...
