Rose Des Vents

France Gall - La Rose Des Vents

 

Wind Rose

In my garden
But, I have no garden
In front of my house
But, I have no house
There’s a flower
It’s all I have
That flower

To breath the wind rose
I turn my head
To breath the wind rose
I turn my head often

In my boat
But, I have no boat
One day I’ll go
Who knows where I’ll go
It’s written in the flower
She has the plans
That flower

To breath the wind rose
I turn my head
To breath the wind rose
I turn my head often

This song
If it’s a song
I’ve made it for you
You who don’t exist
I sing it to the flower
She knows the secrets
This flower

 

Disappearing

 

The Baroness: You’re far away. Where are you? 
Captain von Trapp: In a world that’s disappearing, I’m afraid.

 

 

Merry Christmas To All!

 

 

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

 

 

 …

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

 

 

Verses from: A Visit From Saint Nicholas, by Clement Moore.

A Ghost Lighthouse

I was left in the water

 

Look, a ghost lighthouse! It collapsed 100 years ago, because it was condemned. The lighthouse keeper lived there with his wife and daughter. The little girl was blind (maybe because of that bright light) and she couldn’t escape. I think it’s her looking from up there, see? I don’t know… I don’t like to stare much.

Now, people say you can see it when the moon is full, but only if you’re super sensitive (or if your camera is).

Kidding. It’s just an over washed print.

 

Vase and Flowers

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1

 

The flowers were so beautiful on my window this morning, with the sun light, that I couldn’t resist (again)!

Oh… those in the vase are fake. :P

Square

Square cover

Hello friends!

If you, like me, love the square format, you should take a look at Andrew Gibson’s new e-book  “Square”. He presents a study and explores the possibilities of the square format photography in contrast to the traditional 35mm format. It gives valuable information and inspiration for those who admire this different approach.

Oh! And I’m in it too! :)

 

Square is the natural follow-up to Beyond Thirds. In Square, I delve deep into the mysteries of the square format. Back before digital, the only way you could use the square format (cropping excluded) was to buy a 6×6 medium format camera. Now, digital cameras have opened up the square format to anybody who doesn’t mind taking the trouble to crop their images in Photoshop. But using the square format isn’t simply a matter of cropping – there’s a lot more to it than that. The square format demands a new approach to composition. The rule-of-thirds (which readers of Beyond Thirds will know I’m not too fond of in the first place anyway) no longer applies.

Square explores the square format from the digital photographer’s perspective. It shows you how to use the square format on your camera, and how to make the most out of what I think of as the fine art photographer’s format. It’s illustrated throughout by my photos, and I’ve also interviewed the two film photographers, Matt Toynbee and Flavia Schaller, to explore their perspective on the square format.

More flowers from my window. I really hope they last! :)

 

Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard.

Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. 

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,  you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Silence

Dressing Table

 

The silence depressed me. It wasn’t the silence of silence. It was my own silence.

Foggy Trees

 

“Some people think it’s holding that makes one strong — sometimes it’s letting go.”

~Unknown

 

A foggy day in the forest, last year. I’ve never seen so much fog!  Miss that day.

……………………………………………..

“Algumas pessoas acham que manter algo os faz fortes — às vezes, é deixar que vá.”

~Desconhecido

 

Um dia enevoado na floresta. Nunca tinha visto tanta neblina! Tenho saudade desse dia.
