books

"Books let us into their souls 
and lay open to us the secrets of our own..."
                                             William Hazlitt

A good book is a whirlpool that gets us drawn from the first page... it's a whole world that can be full of unsolvable puzzles, magic mysteries and amazing discoveries... but this world can also be populated by ordinary people (just like us), people that live through hard drama, horrors of war, wonderful adventures or sweet moments of the first love...
Books are our timeless teachers, devoted friends, fellow travellers... sometimes they are our best advisors, but sometimes - a source of our uncertainty and worries...
My today's pictures are about Irina and her love for books and the dreamworld they give to us...

 

pretty woman

"Pretty woman, walking down the street, 
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet..."
                                           Roy Orbison

We had to hide from a male attention for this audience was literally magnetized by the vivacity and playfulness of my model…
Even though Julia has very little in common with the heroine of "Pretty woman" movie, there is no doubt that well-known soundtrack is also about her…

i'm not a girl...

"I'm not a girl, not yet a woman.  
All I need is time, a moment that is mine, 
While I'm in between..."
                                        Britney Spears

It's so great when you look in sparkling eyes of a young beauty, listen to the sweet voice, yet childishly ringing, but already with grown-up notes... to see how movements of one person harmoniously combine an angularity of a teen-age girl with smoothness and flexibility of a woman... our walk with Katya reminded me of that wonderful time  «in between» Britney sang about...
