OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Today notably is Walt Whitman's 200th birthday. These lines from "I sing the body electric" resonate for me whenever I re-read them. I re-read therm today:

"I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,

To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,

To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,

To pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then?

I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.

There is something in staying close to men and women and looking on them, and in the contact and odor of them, that pleases the soul well,

All things please the soul, but these please the soul well."

Happy Birthday, Walt.

Portrait of a young man thinking.

My visit to Long Jetty yesterday gave me time to think about what i want and where i am heading. I was asked a few questions that got me thinking about the journey i have started and where i want it to end. Food for thought.

So thank you......

Any feedback or advice is very welcome and appreciated.

When I read Imogen's backstory/biography it got me thinking about the long line of beautiful women in her family and it occurred to me that my High Vis Agnes would be perfect as her stunningly gorgeous mother - what do you think? I believe Agnes has been a highly sought-after model and muse in her own right being a favourite with famous photographers and artists... Imogen on the other hand will want to plough her own furrow, admiring and respecting her beautiful mother but having ideas of her own...

Just a simple card using black, red and a kraft. Such a strong combination of colors. I also added white details with white gel pen and white enamel. TFW
