shoot

thank you carina for the moving time we shared during this on-the-fly photoshoot, a rainy Wednesday dodging pilgrims to the greenhouse...

for years i’ve been receiving visits of the peacock, saying constantly “be more visible”. it took some guts to dare to put on this dress for the shoot - it’s so stunning that i barely wear it. i can’t deal with how much i get stared at.

so carina dared me to put it on and here we go.

you showed me a little of the road that lies behind me, since learning some tricks of the trade in the last years:

get advice on wardrobe.
find a warm location, to avoid looking frozen and rigid (never again, beach walks in winter).
dare to look into that huge daunting mechanical eye.
move ceaselessly, like a bird.
showing the collarbones gives access to the heart. (a joy conclusion)

i’m always stunned by the results.

every day i meet a stranger in the mirror, that i mostly identify because they have my clothes on.

but to watch a hundred pictures of her is like spending a day following a new cat around. learn their sunspots and habits.

“is that me?”
my lover smiles and says “well, i know all of these faces”.

i’m fascinated by both sides of the mystery -

“my heart is in an egg” - the mysteries within each of us that others will never touch.

and everything about us that’s in full display to everyone else, and that we ourselves will never catch by the elusive tail.

here is where to book the magic of Carina
