I could not wait ..

.. to finally meet her .. after all those years .. it felt like home entering her lovely house that I knew only from her words .. the little wild garden with thick green luscious grass and blooming fruit trees …
I always experience that amazing sensation of we must have spoken yesterday when talking to her … and she would always tell me: meet you half the milkyway .. and so we used to … .. and have remained connected …
So many times I wondered how it will be when we finally meet again … and when it happened it just was just like that. Really like if we said goodbye the day before .. except my boys and her little girl running around and exploring the world … ( well and maybe few wrinkles here and there .. )

I was “tagged” by one of my favorites color masters Sam Pearce
here are the rules:

1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

1. I love owls .. since I was a little girl I always loved owls …

2. I still keep my secret notes and emotionally important messages (like self written poems LOL) in a book of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales

3. my favorite color is vanilla

4. I used to recite poems when I was 18months .. my grand dad liked to show me off and people thought I am a dwarf person :D

5. Apart of photography I can teach “newborn and baby swimming”

6. when I was in grade 2 and got my first mark as 2 (well kind of B here and in America) I cried shamefully in the classroom .. my teacher took me outside of th room trying to find out why I am so upset .. I told her my grandma is sick :D

7. I’m hopeless with keeping signing and reading any kind of kinder and school notes … not wondering where does this feature come from when looking at my sons .. LOL as well as wondering how do I get away with these things all the time … (much love to you Catherine, Trish, Megan and Nicole <<< the lovely teachers of my lovely children)

I tag: Peta, Clair, Kristen, Susan, Bec, Fiona, Natalie

well it would not be a post without a picture .. here is one fallen from the heaven … I still wonder at times why he has chosen me ….

Little people BIG stories

October 10, 2008 – 9:20 pm

and I guess deep inside you all know what it is about.
One of my favorites Czech books is Bohumil Hrabal’s Little pearl at the bottom … a compilation of stories talking about ordinary people and their ordinary lives … yet seeing all the extraordinary moments in their living and greatness of each and everyone’s being ..
For many each and every child and person that I capture and share pictures of may seem just one of many … and in a way it is … but when going deep into the moment .. each and every child and person that I capture is the most special one in the Universe .. and when listening to them .. their smile .. silence .. or just look … one can hear and feel the most amazing stories …
This little boy’s laugh so much reminded me of A. de Saint Exupery’s Little Prince … I will forever remember the sound of his ringing laugh when he was climbing a pile of topsoil and realized I see him … At the time I photographed him .. he was here in Australia for only few weeks … discovering all about his new home …. the opened heart he shared with me was the most special experience in the moment …
