Three photos of the day : a frozen lake on fire

I said it's not over
till it's over
let me see the clouds hanging over you
I closed my eyes
drifting in your world
in your sky ( was it dark or bright? oh it was so very dark)
as the citizen shadow
following every thought of yours
(I couldn't help it
I had to do it)
you held my hand tight (or was it me?)
secretly
I sensed how lonesome you were all the time
my heart broke in pieces
tender nights were gone, before they ever got here
I thought
maybe it's over before it even had a chance to start
I thought
there goes my baby (was she ever my baby? maybe not)
.
I said come closer
you leaned on me, your face buried in my chest
your world became mine
in that moment
while we were floating in the air
.
my beautiful dreamer
you are free
go away, do whatever you want to do
you'll have a warm heart waiting for you
right here with an impression of your face
tattooed on it, igniting a fire for you
.
I never told you those words
I wonder if you understood them
from the rhythm of my heart beats
or from the shivering of my finger tips
.
it is burning hot
under this chest
in the middle of this cold season
in the middle of this frozen lake
.

Four photos of the day : bullet holes on the walls




Model: Miss S., Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Erotic / Nude Portrait
.
.
.
.
bring out the flowers
let the old women
follow the candles
sensing the cold of streets
with their knees
let them pray
let them wish
let them cry out of fears
the road to heaven or hell
is different to each
live to your own
and
...... let them live
.
darkness falls
blanket covers their faces
bullet holes
read like Braille on the walls
writing a poetry of sadness and torture
trying to keep the history alive
and these hurt bodies
have been thrown away
just like the old broken used up dolls

.

Cheers

Three photos of the day : the wrath of her kind dream



Model: Miss S., Film: Kodak B/W 400
Style: Sensual, Erotic, Nude, Editorial Portraits

.
.
.
.
the emerging dead worlds
(the one livings pretend to live
and the one, the dead pretend to rule),
had no chance to survive
to stand tall
to defy her sweet dreams
they (those black lands of misery)
were like windmills made of shell of woods
begging for a sudden destruction
instead of a painful disintegration into nothingness
in the hands of the tornado of her imagination
.
yes
it was time for revenge
not that her little red heart
crave for such thing
but because this revenge
unlike any other one
is as giving as the mythical stories told
by grandparents on cold winter nights
.
so she closed her eyes
and allowed her kind wrath
to simply destroy
everything and anything
that saddens children
that bothers pure souls
that separate lovers
that kill innocents
that manipulate smiles
that abuses nature
that burn the flowers
that dries out rivers
that create wars
that rewards greed
that hurt friendships
that .......
.
she closed her eyes
and immediately started the fight
with this deep urge
with this desire
for keeping them closed forever
.
16 months, 8 days, 22 hours and 36 minutes later
she opened her eyes
ready to face
reality
this time armed with the magical power of hope
drowned in the syrup of content
.

Photo of the day : an invisible lover

Model: Miss T., Film: Ilford 100
Style: Editorial Fashion Portrait

.
.
.
.
I won't be forced out of your life
not even for my own sake
I am there
I'll stay there
I'll breathe, observe, live, listen, make love, become invisible
all in there, with you
I'll try to protect you
not only in there but anywhere
and I'll become one with you
when there becomes a fiery mistreat
the significance of punishment
when nobody stays
when nobody understands
I'll be still hanging in there
so tirelessly
so completely
hurting, bleeding and all
day can becomes night
night can becomes day
day can becomes month
month can becomes year
and a spark of true happiness in your eyes
could become heaven
.

Two photos of the day : and she kissed me


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



.
.
.
.
I couldn't help
to imagine her
walking beside me on that day
(oh the anarchy)
It was difficult for me
to imagine myself
fantasizing about that too
but
time and energy changes everything
or is it called chemistry?
(oh not now)
breathing rather heavily
yet quietly
I was masking it with a large smile
as wide as the history of man kind
no I was not prone to have fantasies
I enjoy the reality
no matter how unpleasant it could be at times
it might taste like a three day old cup of cold coffee
or a sip of potion made of poison hemlock
and yet
you can appreciate it much more
as its flickering light
shines through like the north star
after the sun sets
right when you need it
.
I couldn't help myself
to imagine her
immersed in the waters of a crystal clear lake
stretched naked
looking at me
so calmly yet passionately
.
(stop it now)
time to leave
it's the end of another story
with no definite ending
just like the real version of life
.
I wonder if cursing the heavens
with an obvious futility
could help me to handle this
or that,
just a little easier
(oh not again, you know that you are not good at cursing)
.
leaping off of a building
is not the answer
nor eating as much as Buddha ate
at the end of his life
because let's be honest
he probably was an emotional eater
no matter how peaceful and center he was in life
.

what was the root of this desire?
just an animal instinct?
to be accepted?
to be wanted?
to be loved?
or was this
a real deal?
(the real deal he says!)
what is this real deal?
.
time was up
I had to move on
a self made timer was ringing as loud as ...well very loud
I probably would never know
or would I?
.
and
right
then
she kissed me
.
.
.
.
Cheers

Two photos of the day : you are beautiful

Model: Miss S., Film: Ilford B/W 400
Style: Editorial Fashion + Nude + Sensual Portrait
.
.
.
let me tell you something about you
you were born on day time or night
your mother was a woman
even if you never saw her again
or if you are still living with her
your father was a man
even if he was just a sperm donor
or if he is still balancing your check book
(if you have a check book)
let me venture a guess
that you cried when you were born
even if not right then
perhaps later
because life makes sure of that
.
you fell in love one day
or you thought you did
it could be with yourself
it could be with the idea of love
the guy or the girl in the movies or magazines
or your neighbour, coworkers, the soup kitchen server , the princess
or even your distant cousin (!)
.

you hated something or some one
it could be because of your insecurities
or theirs
or both
as well as the rest of the world
.
you were kind at times
you were cruel at others
you were celebrated in something
drawing, painting, running, pickpocketing
bullying, talking,
being a victim, singing in your church choir or rock band
drinking or drug use or cooking
crying out loud or making people laugh
or maybe even writing
you were noticed for something
and that made you feel good
so you kept at it
even if it was wrong for you
or others
because what else you could do?
and who can say what is wrong anyway?
.
you are beautiful
if you are fat or skinny
if you are bald or dirty

if you are a freak or the definition of boring

if you are sick or healthy
if you are sixteen or ninety
.
you probably are beautiful

.
.

Cheers

Photo of the day : tasting the paradise

Model: Miss T., Film: Fuji 160 PRO
Style: Sensual Modern Editorial Fashion
.
.
.
.
the last time
I fell out of time
there was nowhere to go
there was nothing to do
(and there was no need to go anywhere
there was no want to do anything)
but secretly to die in your arms
maybe not in your arms
perhaps while touching them with my finger tips
in the thirst of experiencing an earthy realization of paradise
and you smiled
at me
and
there
it
was
.

Two photos of the day : a road to those eyes


Model: Miss J., Films: Ilford 400, Fuji PRO 160
Style: Editorial Fashion Portrait
.
.
.
there is a road to those eyes
there is a sense of depth
there is a feeling of detachment
and yet a potential harmony
there is her pulse, her shattered skin, her beautiful imagination
there is her pain
there is a moment that nothing else matters but her presence
there is a story written in the small of her back
there is a story in the taste of the sign hidden behind her ear
there is her, in a freezing night filling time with memories
or illusions, or with strangers with empty eyes
there is she, walking tall, painting the walls of hell
with colors of hope
one inch at a time
there is her smell..a scent of reality, wet skin, explosion of desire
there is her, the mysterious yet open silhouette
capturing my imaginations
so effortlessly
.
