The 2010 Portrait Project got off to a great start. Jeremy was in town for the weekend so we met my friend Melinda at Coogee Beach at 6.30am and the 'paparazzi' got going! Melinda was keen to have some portraits made for her web-page for her work as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She was a fabulous model, keeping her serene smile glowing for the whole two hours, all the while experimenting with different styles and settings. Here's a handful of the day's best:
1. Happiness, Contentment:(felicidad). 2. Luck: (suerte) 'por ventura' = luckily 'Buena ventura' = good fortune told by gypsies and travelling mystics. 'Probar ventura' = to try one’s fortune, to venture at, on, or upon. 3. Contingency, casualness, happenstance, adventure: 'a la (buena) ventura' = at random;without a fixed plan. 4. Future: that which is to come.

In the beginning there was The Tao - the great unknowable mystery.
The Tao gave rise to Yin & Yang. Yin & Yang gave rise to the Ten Thousand Things.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is like the eternal universe: filled with infinite possibilities.
In dwelling, - live close to the ground. In thinking, - keep to the simple. In conflict, - be fair and generous. In governing, - don't try to control. In work, - do what you enjoy. In family life, - be completely present. In love, - don't jump to quick conclusions...
