Probably boring for the most of people, but not for someone that still believes it’s a magic moment to feel all alone.

Winter postcards from my country.

Self portrait. Just to put a face behind this blog. I'd like to do more portraits of me or other people because it's a (well known) way to discover people and ourselves.

At the end of a tunnel you finally see the light. #light #road #suicidephoto

Photographic exercise. I always loved f64 Group, especially Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham pics. It's all about shapes, black and white, sensuality.

I remember it took a whole day to set the painting on their body (one day shooting for each one of them), and that I felt stressed and crazy after taking photos, fearing that light would be insufficient in the afternoon (I was painting since early that morning). The final result was great and gave me satisfaction - but it also teached me that it’s much better to collaborate, find other artists to join, and absolutely have an assistant!

proflowers.com tells some about the Iris as a very significant plant. Here’s a short description from their website:  Through its intricate history, the meanings of the iris has come to include faith, hope, and wisdom. Depending on factors such as color and region, irises may bear additional meanings as well. In some parts of the world, the dark blue or purple iris can denote royalty, whereas the yellow iris can be a symbol of passion. Irises may also express courage and admiration. The many meanings of the iris makes the flower a great choice for an array of gift giving occasions: corporate, sympathy, get well, just because, and birthday are just some of the occasions for which irises might be the perfect choice.
