favorites.

i could not resist buying these gorgeous flowers. 2 of my favorites: peonies and ranunculus.

i can't wait to experiment with photographing them.

have you seen the new urban outfitters catalog. i haven't really looked at the inside yet, but the cover really caught my eye. i like the layout a lot. very simple. they have some great shoes on the back too. at great prices. i really like these. i do have a thing for navy.

have a good night, friends.

beautiful colors from the farmer's market. i love the spring.

i also love these photos from uli schade.

more.

2 more images from the eyes, the ears.

these are the words that accompany the images:

top photo:

it becomes larger

and smaller

freely.

endlessly

it's up to me.

bottom photo:

a point of contact is

sweetly

fragile

with infinite possibility.

calm beauty.

i wanted to share one of my recent book purchases. it is a book of photos and words by rinko kawauchi called the eyes, the ears.

it is so wonderful. above are some of my favorite pages. the words in the first photo say:

i escaped from

a box with no lid.

i was supposed to be round.

gonna take a journey to find myself.

i will share a few more tomorrow.

ps. nicole and i have a new photo over here. also, i can't wait to receive my copy of lines & shapes, vol. 2. the cover is so beautiful.
