So Paul and I have different opinions on this expression. What do you think it is?
The sun gently sets on Sarandë in southern Albania, and all’s well with the world. Albania and its people are enjoying newly-found freedoms after more than 60 years of Stalinist dictatorship, when even religion and religious expression were banned. The communist regime fell in 1992, and since then there’s been no looking back.

Misty although she looks as if she is not happy with me being there she actually just finished a yawn.
I do love trying to capture them during or at the end of a yawn as the expression or the growl look is something they probably will never do for me to be able to capture .
I love being a girl and right now in this little dress I am feeling so liberated and, if I'm honest, just that little bit sexy. It is a girls prerogative to show off some leg from time to time isn't it, so why should I be any different.

We are what we create.
I have no doubt about it. We might be searching for a way of expression for long years and try a lot of things till we find it, we may be struggling with prejudice and limitations, with doubt and with being misunderstood, we may have to ignore common sense and go against the flow, we may have to figure out new ways of escaping what we call reason, what we call reality (what is reality anyway?) but in the end, what we will settle for can only be that very thing that expresses what we are completely, that helps us feel accomplished and free, that helps a restless soul find peace and allow us to stop and take a breath. If you look at this image you will see very much of what I am. I won't explain it, I don't want to limit your imagination. :) I will say just one thing: whatever this journey may take, do it! It's much better to burn out searching than never know...
OK, now that we said what was important, here's a few words about this image. First, it's been two and a half months since my last architectural image, which may seem a lot but it actually isn't for me, as I've done a lot of searching, discovered a lot of things, even worked on a handful of images that are to come soon. I've done some thinking, I've done some experimenting and the results will show in the months to come. I've even tried to step away from architectural photography to see how it is, but despite the fact that I love all kinds of photography, I think my call is architectural photography. There's nothing I love more than working with shapes and light, nothing I like more than abstracting a volume till it shows a part that would hardly show to the naked eye. I finally understood what I'm trying to do in photography and that is exactly what I'm doing in architecture too. I am designing my photographs to suit my vision. I am deconstructing the volumes I see and recomposing them using light and shadow, I am in essence using the existing subject, I'm using reality as a base on which I build my own dreams. Photography, architectural photography is the tool my imagination needs to stay alive and to express itself. It would be interesting I think to show you the RAW file of this image. I'm sure you wouldn't recognize much of what you see here in that image. But hey, you will tell me, that's manipulation! Well, yes, you're perfectly right, I will answer you! But who said I want to do traditional photography anyway? This may not even be photography, as a matter of fact. This may be something else. This IS something else! As I was calling it a while ago while discussing with a friend, this is “(en)visionography”. More on this concept coming soon...
And at last a few words about the image and the processing side of it... But, since this is getting long, let's better move over to my site if you want to read more about processing and also to read my answer to a question I'm getting quite often lately, a question about my skies... blog.juliaannagospodarou.com/ode-to-black-iii-extreme-bla...

If you are in London April 26 to May 12 go have a look at the SWPA 2013 - Sony World Photography Awards Winners Exhibition.

This painting has been evolving for several years. Hand painted silk lies below, other fabrics, yarn and paper too. Guess that makes it multimedium
