Two photos of the day : lingerie in woods and 100 years in solitude


Model: Miss M., Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Editorial Fashion + Glamour / Sensual Portrait
.
.
.
.

this certain mood
comes and goes away
like a windy fall day
like the reflection of fire works
in the eyes of children
but never completely
oh no...not that way
.
"oh would you love me
ever?
I can wait"
oh the minutes are too long
and the life too short
and my patience
is nothing more than cherishing this inability
in my own way
.
"would you cry over me?"
I would my darling
for a hundred years
in solitude
just like the book
.
"would you ever love again?"
it is you and you
it is I and me
there is no other way to see
there is no other way to live
.
"Would you ever be over me?"
why would I want to?
there are no magic words
to open the gates to a magic world
even if they would be seemingly wide open
with lots of promises and hope
.

"live...love...SMILE", a photography book



Models: Miss SH., Miss S. and Miss J.,
Films: Ilford 100 and 400 and Fuji Pro 160
Styles: Nude + Editorial + Sensual + Candid Portraits
.
.
.
.
"live...love...SMILE"
"a collection of happy candid portraits"
.
...is simply that...a collection of the happy moments that people (in this case models) allow their masks fall along any kind of defense mechanism...when a pure human connection might have a chance to be developed worthy of remembrance for a long time.
.
...cherishing the unspoken friendships....
.
I remember I read somewhere that Mozart used to create his happiest works during his darkest times...not always but often enough so we can come to such conclusion and detect a trend.
.
I avoid being that dramatic.
Pain is just another way to feel and if everything was always oh so wonderful, then this life would be oh so very boring too.
.
Those happy moments, are perhaps some of my most precious belongings as they can not be stolen or destroyed. They are forever. They live with no dependency on me. They are free to be.
.
I would like to thank all the lovely models and dear friends who have helped me greatly during years...not only by participating in projects but also for their encouraging words and support.
.
I have to thank Mr. Dave L. for suggesting the title...for some reason it brought the whole thing home. I also would like to thank f11 who have helped me in various steps of this journey.
.
Here you can have a look at a preview of the book:
.
.
and a bit more information about it:
.
.
118 pages
148+ photos
75 models
.
Images in the book vary between pure candid shots to happy moments during fashion, portrait, nude or even erotic photo sessions.

Three photos of the day : she flew away...in her long boots



Model: Miss K., Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Editorial Fashion
.
.
.
.
and she flew away
with no warning
no announcements
no plans
no destination
.
I have left with nothing
but all the bitter sweets of
her mysteries
her love
and her miscommunication
.
this shall not pass
as this is here to stay
just like everything else
with little hope for any other interpretation
.
.
.

Three photos of the day : an antique camera a nude body, horseradish vodka and a bloody shashka



Model: Miss L., Film: Ilford 3200
Style: Editorial Fashion, Nude Portrait
Camera: Canon Demi made in 1963
.
.
.
.
pass me the horseradish vodka
oh no... not the shot glass
give me the bottle
as I need to pretend
that I can get drunk
.
let's talk philosophy
do you exist?
oh who cares...
after all, these moments don't exist
themselves
.
tell me about Siberia, grandpa
your green horse
your golden guns
the bloody shashka*
your pain
sing me that song again
.
a lot has changed
and yet
not much has changed
just like motion pictures
being reflected on the walls of this dark cave
the pictures are evolving into abstract shapes
yet the cold wall
will stand there
forever
.

Photo of the day : a naive state of mind and nude editorial fashion

Model: Lovely Ukrainian Model Miss L., Film: Ilford B/W400
Style: Editorial Fashion + Subtle Erotic / Nude Portrait
.
.
.
.
as she crept upon me
I was defenseless
lying down there, waiting
with a naive happy stare
.
I had no way to conceal
the fire of excitement
radiating from my skin
with this bright face
with this simple mind
.
the unfolding story
has already begun
and I am nothing more than a character in it
with a future known to everybody
but me
.
as dawn breaks info halves
and smooth waves shape
my old memories
into a million year old fossil
I am still waiting
for her to come
to grace my being
with her untold passion
still lying down here
with stars in my eyes
and a fire in my heart
.
.

Cheers

Three photos of the day : an endless nudity in her car



Model: Nude Miss B. in her long boots, Film: Ilford B/W 400
Style: Editorial Fashion + Subtle Erotic Portraits
.
.
.
.
nothing ever ends
as the rain drops
never reach the hot surface
of this volcano
and yet their yearnings
continue forever
.
it hurts
the dwelling on the joyful moments
as they go towards a limitless
horizon
where sun meets moon
on neutral grounds
trying to make peace
.
the death of angel of death
is no more ironic
than singing a happy birthday song
to god
as if "time" has a meaning
.
create me so I can recreate you
believe in me so I can fall in you
fantasize me so I can become your fantasy
shatter me, if you dare, so I can become many
...................................... and not only for you
.
.

Cheers

Three photos of the day : I read everything while she wore black lingerie


Model: Miss J., Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Editorial Portraits with a hint of Fashion
.
.
.
.
I read everything
as her life opens up
like a little magic box
full of surprises
few good and a few not as much
but all honest
.
today I tried to remember
the happiest moments of my life
the red little bicycle?
the first soccer game?
the first kiss?
the first time I made love?
the first time I fell in love?
the first Mathematics award?
the first drawing I made and I was proud of?
the first photograph I took at night?
a pat of approval on my shoulder?
the first road trip alone?
the first time on the top of the Eiffel tower?
.
No
.
meaningless badges for partial memories
.
the happiest moments?
they don't exist
as I can't remember them really
.
perhaps the happiest moments I have had
are not in my own memories
but in others'
if I am lucky
carrying a grandmother's heavy basket
listening to a friend
saving one's life
forgiving an enemy
making light of an embarrassing moment
sharing a little joke in a dark day
perhaps
I don't exist without those events
perhaps
I am not important
perhaps
that makes it easier to walk away
as I am not the safe keeper of those memories
as I might be lucky enough
that few others make an abstract picture
of it, using their little puzzle pieces
and all I can do is
to offer them few more pieces
before the time is up
before it's time to go
freely
just few more pieces
which are not about me
but only about them
.

Two photos of the day : A sinking Island and a Russian Model / Clothing Designer


Model: Miss A., Russian Model / Clothing Designer
Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Editorial Fashion / Subtle Fetish Portraits
.
.
.
.
my roots are rotten
my roots are like a rusty image
of a misplaced trust
buried in the sands
of this dried out ocean
.
there are no excuses
to stay
nowhere
and yet they are no urges
to go
anywhere
.
the day could go as long as a lifetime
or as quick as a happy moment
.
my ancient heart
laughs at my face
and the profound pain that it projects
unto the world
.
let the ceremony begin
let the despair of departure
put its weight
on my deserted shoulders
.
my solitude
while standing alone in the middle of millions
causes no desire for bitter revenges
nor a drunken savagery
.
this little sinking island
has no regrets
and it has forgiven them all
and it has forgiven himself
with no hunger nor expectations in return
.
.
.
.

Cheers

Photo of the day : present and a southern showgirl in her dressing room

anticipation
of an unwritten life
most likely
will end up with dissatisfaction
misery
and sadness
while
cherishing the moments
of now
while they might be bitter
or sweet
bleak or bright
is more real
than any nostalgia of the past
or all of the day dreams
made of future

Two photos of the day : two sexy models and the day I killed my best friend

read my mind!
can you?!
somebody told me you could
tell me about all the things that I've done
tell me about my hopes and wishes
tell me about the aches in my bones and soul
tell me about my past and future
tell me how to think about myself
do you possess such wisdom?
because that would be just magnificent
I want to know how to smile
like I mean it
am I human?
oh you are so quiet
don't you have any answers for me?
don't tell me I didn't try...

[ he pulls a gun from his jacket's pocket
and lifts it until his arm is completely parallel with the ground ]

BANG!

fine!
looks like now I have to move
and buy a new mirror.
