In a previous incarnation of the 'ArtMagick Forum,' digitallux had asked Members to: 'Create an album that 'is' you.' Did any other Member create an Art Album that 'is' you? I think there were a few .... 'in divining,' a poem by chiaroscuro © 2000-2008 ....

1/22/2004 8:51:53 PM stargazer What a great album. I was so impressed with digitallux's 'know thyself' album and now yours. I'm tempted to give it a go...~*~
1/22/2004 10:14:07 PM chiaroscuro Surprisingly, or not, the Blake showed up in both. Give it a go... ;)
1/22/2004 11:03:08 PM Cathy You met the friendly 'challenge' beautifully, C. - A wonderful album and poem - 'the stained glass temples of their beings' is such a very special description. :)
1/22/2004 11:34:29 PM chiaroscuro Give it a go, Cathy.... :D

1/23/2004 7:21:50 AM digitallux Bravo! I especially like the images you chose to correspond to particular words or passages. 'the bloodstream will absorb immutable Intellect' with the seascape by Martin is my favorite.
1/23/2004 4:04:32 PM chiaroscuro <S> to all. & A brave idea. C.
2/8/2004 11:15:18 AM Venus de Milo you seem to have a very old spirit, thats the attitude i got anyway from these pictures, it looks like your passionate too! I really loved this album, an excellent collection!
2/8/2004 10:41:41 PM chiaroscuro I was thinking of running that as a personal: ancient & passionate F seeking anything that breathes. Do you think it would fly? lol Thanks, V. C.
4/7/2004 10:15:01 PM princess daisy aren't you a riot C!!! "on the woings of a dove . . ."

9/14/2004 7:00:08 AM On a Quest 'in space, in time, in dreams, in reality' - this is a wonderful poem! Thank you very much for sharing it. :)
9/14/2004 4:04:29 PM chiaroscuro Don't mention it, Quest. :)
9/18/2004 1:57:37 PM L'Aurore Lovely you C....:)
9/18/2004 5:11:44 PM chiaroscuro If I were still young enough - I'd be blushing, L'A. :D
12/11/2004 12:28:18 PM Cathy Seems to be a revised edition? ~ Very, very beautiful, c.
12/11/2004 12:56:03 PM missb_chantal2003 its a very beautiful album.
12/11/2004 5:46:45 PM chiaroscuro Slightly revised, Cat. But not a lot. Pictures & layout mostly. Thanks. C. -- Thanks, missb, to you too. C.
12/11/2004 5:47:54 PM chiaroscuro (I meant I rearranged the sequence of the images, & may have deleted a couple).
12/11/2004 5:49:06 PM chiaroscuro & Replaced 1 or 2. Hokay, I'll stop replying now.
1/27/2006 4:37:22 PM mischief there's 'mischief' It's even public now 0:)
1/27/2006 10:11:35 PM chiaroscuro :D
1/28/2006 12:01:07 PM chiaroscuro Well, you have to decide on One. The one which you like best as of this moment! Mine is *Ophelia* - but I could just as easily chosen another. :)
8/13/2006 11:39:41 PM abinsolitude I always think of creating an album that is me...but always find some mysterious confusion... a silly one...:)... may be sometime I will be able to do so...:)... Beautiful album it is...
8/14/2006 5:58:17 PM chiaroscuro I hope so! I would like to see the AB that is you. :) & Thank you. :)
9/29/2006 2:02:59 AM abinsolitude Well... this is an elegant album...:)...
9/29/2006 9:18:53 AM Lysia Beautiful album c! when you say to make an album that it's you do you mean an album with your favorite paintings and poetry?
9/29/2006 5:29:29 PM chiaroscuro AB...:)... -- I think the idea, Lysia, was to create an album which defined YOU as a person. The poetry might not be your favorite, nor all the images, but somehow all together - the inner you would shine through. C.
9/29/2006 5:32:19 PM chiaroscuro In other words - it IS you. Or tries to do its best to accomplish the feat. :)
9/29/2006 6:15:23 PM Lysia Very difficult, Chiaro, it will require a lot of thought, someday I may be able to do it too, meanwhile I'll enjoy yours, lovely!
9/30/2006 11:58:00 AM abinsolitude I just saw last painting and wrote my comment... in fact i was looking for your other album C... in that one also you ended with the same painting... I thought its the same one...later I noticed that it wasn't the one... I very much liked the idea of that album...:)... please make it public if its private...
9/30/2006 4:09:49 PM chiaroscuro I know you will be able to do it, Lysia. -- AB, you must be speaking of my Marriage Album - which is the next up for opening anyway! :D
11/10/2006 5:26:57 PM chiaroscuro So here I am again. Back at the beginning of my albums. Or at the end. Whichever the case may be....
11/11/2006 9:59:10 AM stargazer C, I look at these pictures and links and try to figure out in what ways they are 'you'. An interesting woman, to be sure.
11/11/2006 3:07:39 PM chiaroscuro Sorry I can't be of help, sg. I can't figure it out either. :O
11/11/2006 3:36:41 PM stargazer HA! Know thyself...:) Well, sometimes a mystery is better than knowing. I enjoy the album, no matter.
1/19/2007 3:50:47 PM stargazer I just paid a visit to the poet's space. Enjoyed the photos. I must be a closet vouyer.
1/19/2007 11:10:19 PM chiaroscuro Aha! Now I know. Well, being a closet anything is no surprise to a New Yorker who, like most New Yorkers, live in a closet. Recently bought two great chromolithographs, and when the framing is all done, I will have something cheery to add to blank walls. :D
2/6/2008 12:00:15 PM Lysia Just to say hi again, Chiaroscuro. Long time no see!
2/6/2008 4:05:18 PM chiaroscuro Hi Lysia, With all the changes - couldn't do much. I used HTML on practically everything! Now I had to close my albums in order to re-work them 1 at a time. I shall return! C.
