"A poem needs understanding through the senses...
the point of diving into the lake is not immediatley to swim to shore,
but to be in the lake,
to luxuriate in the sensation of water...
you do not work the lake out.
it is an experience beyond thought.
Poetry soothes & emboldens the soul
{to accept mystery}"
~ from the film Bright Star

i took these photos while standing on an almost deserted beach... it was stormy, foggy, & rain was sprinkling all around me...i fetched an umbrella from a dollar shop & there i stood, underneath it, in the rain, luxuriating in the ocean swells

'Hope, though but a feather, can lift my full weight,
& faith, when i leap, catches me...'

styling by eva lindh is inspiring me today ~

smiles for you!!!

i found these amazing images tonight via the lovely Abigail, & have been profoundly thinking on them since...


a photo taken over a three year period, from what i can gather, the same film was exposed each day, layering images on top of each other


showing the entire story of a building's creation{namely the museum of modern art in new york}, on a single film!!! {by Michael Wesely}


& the fascination i find in movement coupled with stationary motion in a photo...he winked at me right when i took this :)

She dreamed.
Then one day she discovered,
you never know what can arise from a talent thats trying to form,
or from a person's Hope ~ <3 br="">
*because some days are filled with fairytales*
