I could not wait ..

October 15, 2008 – 10:26 pm

.. 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 .. )

a simple breath

August 14, 2008 – 7:52 pm

another from my Czech series …

I have known this beautiful lady since kindergarten … we grew up in the same street but  she lived across the tram tracks and I was not allowed to cross it … at high school we had few moments to share in life … she showed me how to properly shave my legs … what kind of books to read … shared some beautiful music with me …………….   after school .. the life went on …

this was my first time to meet her after at least 8 years … it felt like home .. to stand there at a playground .. smell the spring in the air .. and talk like if we saw each other yesterday … a lot happened in both of our lives … big stories that could fill up a book or two .. but there was no need to talk about it all … we watched our children running around .. talked about motherhood .. about the “I” and enjoyed thoroughly the beauty of the moment ..

Each time I look at these photos I know the stories that haven’t been said … I feel my heart dancing … over the moments we happened to share as little girls, teenage girls and now as mums …..   I could not get enough photographs of her little boy …  it felt like diving in the most spectacular well of beauty, his eyes spoke without talking and I felt the greatness of his being and the gift of being her son and how much she values each and every moment together .. moment like a simple breath to blow a dandelion ..  (and if that does not work what are little 2year old hands for :) )

Thank you my friend .. !!!

what a sweet little boy … his “bendmymouthcornersdown” action was one of the best I have ever seen :D  these pictures are taken in the backyard of the house I grew up in Czech Republic … I have never realized how spectacular the light can be there …  can you spot the grey rectangle in the grass (kind of a left side of the picture above the ground…  it’s a part of stairs I used to play on a lot … how little they seemed comparing to my memory of it …

Miss N

August 3, 2008 – 8:37 pm

On my holiday back in my birth country in Czech republic I have met so many old friends, neighbours, acquaintances .. as well as their offspring … Little Miss N was one of children with the most mesmeric blue eyes I have ever seen (you might have spotted her gorgeous face in my slideshow up in the header)  The shoot was very short unplanned and most of the time I was chatting to her mum (my childhood playmate) …  I was amazed about how well the photos came out … here is my favorite  as you can see I still don’t know whether the color or BW version strikes me more … :)
