2024.12.6. Ebru Yildiz at Cornish + Twinkle Twinkle at Freeway Park

12/6. Friday. Went to an Art Lecture of visiting artist Ebru Yildiz at Raisbeck Auditorium. I really enjoyed it, and this New York-via-Turkey based photographer. She discussed her works, and thoughts and preps behind some of them. She does portraits (sometimes more than 1 person, often a music band). Very candid, modest and approachable. She emphasizes practice, do at least one thing everyday when you are not working on a project. Also research before you work on a project.

Twinkle Twinkle at Freeway Park. Dickens Carolers sang in 2 sessions. Between them, one lady from Mini Breaks Dance taught a few dance moves, and crowd participated.

At the same time, roast marshmallow with chocolate over fire, or make holiday cards with stamps, ribbons, sparkles. Last year, I burned my marshmallow so fast, that I didn't try this time. I did make a few cards, and enjoyed it.
