I love old studio portraits. This cabinet card comes from Tartu (aka Dorpat), Estonia. Armin Lomp was a photographer of note in Estonia, though I cannot locate any info on him in English.
Can you tell by the clothes what era it is from? I'm guessing 1910's.

This gorgeous lady has been my kids' teacher for the past two years. She is so incredibly sweet, I just love her! I've been DYING to get her in front of my camera and last night I finally got the chance! I got to do couple pictures for her and her boyfriend. It was SO MUCH FUN!! My friend and assistant Lisa Dubisar came along with us. It was such a blast!
The young couples are often seeking privacy in places like parks, sometimes things go as far as touching in public!

While I was in Kassos, I met this ever so lovely British couple... They seemed to be everywhere and know everybody...
I was told they keep coming back to Kassos every single year, twice a year actually - once in June and once in September - to seriously enjoy the climate, the calm and the drinking of white wine while watching for hours on end the blue sea around them!..
Actually, there's a lesson in there for all of us: happiness isn't such a utopia, after all... It's not really intangible... It's just a matter of realizing with time - and in time too - that it's only a matter of looking for it in the simplest of things, the less complicated situations... It's not necessarily or exclusively waiting for us in posh hotels, or celebrity filled resorts... It's not
to be found absolutely in fancy clothes, eccentric activities, sophisticated food and wine...
Happines is more about stopping to enjoy the simplest things in life, things usually cheap or even free, things taken for granted - so granted that tend to end up neglected by the majority of people...
The key verb in the above phrase is "stopping"... Stopping, taking a break, making a pause...
May this lovely couple grow stronger and stronger and wear each year their "greek-blue" shirts to help them merge better in the vast blue of this distant corner of the Archipelago they love so much!..
