Instead of a Christmas tree... On New Year's Eve, I want to congratulate everyone with this photo.
Bellow I wrote a short (actually not...) congratulation for everybody in Russian. It would be quite hard for me to make it in English with all meaning I want to share, so feel free to use translation services you prefer to get the ideas...
Искренне желаю всем (в том числе и себе) плодотворного нового года. Для тех, кто использует празднование нового года в качестве точки отсчета, желаю преуспеть в том, чтобы всегда и везде фокусироваться на том, на что можно повлиять, как-то изменить. Остальным же желаю получить прекрасные плоды вашего труда (в том числе и над собой). Пусть всё, что вы посадили в этом году, во всех предыдущих годах прорастет в этом году и даст свои плоды. Но также желаю вам помнить о том, что нужно ещё и регулярно поливать и ухаживать за растениями… Желаю всем принятия того, что вы можете повлиять лишь на малую часть от того, что вас окружает. И вдохновения для того, чтобы продолжать свой путь, продолжать сотворять свою жизнь, делать ваш внутренний и окружающий мир лучше, добрее, наполнять радостью. Пусть всё способствует вашему росту и слиянию с Природой, своим чистым Сознанием.
В эти дни непременно стоит отметить для себя и поблагодарить себе и окружающему миру за все пройденные уроки, приобретения, провалы, ошибки. За то, что ни смотря ни на что мы продолжаем наше космическое путешествие. А если нам до сих пор трудно понять кто мы такие и что мы делаем в этом мире - то это повод начать предпринимать маленькие, пусть даже крошечные действия… Стоит фокусироваться на действиях, а потом уже на размышлениях или рефлексии…
Пусть в Новом году будут только благостные последствия наших действий (или бездействия). Пусть окружающие вас люди и обстоятельства всячески помогают вам, а вы в свою очередь инвестируйте в них. Что стоит наша жизнь, если в ней отсутствуют другие люди?…
Мира, Гармонии и Целостности в Новом году!
Happy Holidays everyone!

In June of 2015 I will asked to shoot a wedding in the beautiful city of Paris in my signature documentary style.
I took along my Canon 5DmkIII (with 24-105L and 50mm f/1.4) with my Fujifilm X100T as a secondary camera.
These images are a selection of some of my favourite captures from what was a truly wonderful day.

The door that I saw my reflection in was double paned, so I couldn't get any sharper image!

What left of sunset at Templo de Debod (Temple of Debod). This temple is dedicated to gods Amun and Isis, and the temple contains a series of chapels.
This is a self-portrait from a few years back when I was photographing an old Cotton Gin. I found myself gazing across the landscape.
Why is it that we find self reflection easier when we are gazing across farm land? Does it reflect on our ancestral background? Or does it reflect upon a simpler life, allowing for easier self reflection?
You may notice the ghostly appeal of this photograph. Partial credit goes to my choice of using infrared photography and the other are choices in my exposure and timing.
Location: central Arkansas.

“I?
I walk alone;
The midnight street
Spins itself from under my feet..."
―(Sylvia Plath)―
Often, at midnight, the world seems much more monochromatic as colors recede into the mists of memory...
This building in Manchester is on the approach to Manchester Piccadilly railway station, and snakes along the road. It has shops at ground level and this uniform structure above. Notable among the shops is the Ian Allan bookshop.
The building is curved enough that it can be made to reflect on itself. That appeals to me.
When I was 8 years old, my cousin Eva in Majorca (Spain) who's one year older, sat down with me one summer afternoon and started telling me about this great comic series she was reading... there was a group of heroes who were going to space, and this woman who had a fantastic power that manifested as a bird of fire, and how she was turning evil and eventually sacrificed herself for the ones she loved..
It was, obviously, the adventures of the X-Men from Marvel Comics, during the times of the unforgettable "Dark Phoenix" saga. My fantasy-loving young mind was too curious, so I picked my first comic ever and started reading... getting forever hooked into this art... 25 years later... I'm still an avid reader, I live in New York (often portrayed in many of the stories I read), my boyfriend is an editor at DC Comics, one of our best friends (Phil Jimenez) is one of the most famous comic book artists in the world (among other great things, he drew the Obama-Spiderman mighty cover), etc...
All that's left? Is for me to fulfill the ultimate fantasy and become my own (super)hero one day. It doesn't have to mean getting special powers and do colorful stuff... it would be enough for me to be able to do good and meaningful deeds to others, and fight injustice wherever it may be...
I might have to apply myself extra hard, so I can one day use my arts (photography, journalism, cinema) to do it...
Meanwhile, month after month, I'll keep on dreaming, 22 pages at a time... :-D
