"Most things we experience as humans are impossible to capture". So true. But thanks to the artists of all genres who try anyway.
How special are those books, such treasures. Your quotation from Paris challenged my translation skills a little but I got there. What wonderful images I visualised reading those words - I particularly liked the boy scrambling across the rooftops.
You create beautiful art with your photos, and I loved your sister's - thanks for sharing. I think I can almost see your painting of the children on the beach?
I so love that experience of slowly reading in a second language and having to work for the reward of those mental pictures we take for granted in our mother tongue. Thank you so much <3 Fantastic idea to do a painting of that photo, I think I just might!
Hi Annie, thank you for this post. Every time I read your letters I like to slow down and truly savor the text, the photos, the overall arrangement and sentiment.
The last photo taken by your sister, full of flowers, reminded me of that photo shoot of the Beatles, where they stand in the garden full of tall, grand hollyhocks.
Since the first post where you shared your film photos, I've wanted to be the nosy one and ask you what is the camera & film that you use, because the photos turn out really lovely. Thank you once again for sharing them.
Thank you so much, Anna! I am so delighted to hear that. That’s exactly the type of experience I’m hoping to invite with each post, and I so appreciate you taking the time to read and also comment <3 I had to look up that Beatles photo you are referencing and wow — it’s gorgeous! I totally see the parallel. I take all my photos on an old Nikon FM2 with a 52mm lens and 400 speed kodak film. I have other lenses but a long time ago I realized that I always prefer the ones I took with this lens so I’ve left it on ever since!
