The idea to do a journal with a meandering theme of RECOGNITION came from a recent experience of seeing photos from the last great costume ball of the Romanov dynasty. Kelly shared an article with b/w photos of the attendees, colorized by a contemporary Russian artist. The costumes were extraordinary-magnificent. Nicholas & his family and then.... Countess Keller. My comment wasn't "I kind of look like her," it was "That's me." - Rights
