bits of love

napping in daylight
(head at feet and feet at head)



being so close to the edge
(and restraining myself from jumping in)




lazing on porches
(while cuddled in quilts)



nestling up in cozy kitchens
(gazing out into the chilly fog)



reaching the top
(basking in the view)

bits of love

exploring collections
(entering the minds of others)



dreaming in ephemeral light
(bejeweled and all)



taking morning coffee
(after waking late Sunday morn)




mornings with best friends
(catching up on cuts and bruises)



wearing lacy details
(with antiquated rhinestone buttons)

bits of love

backbends
(anytime / anywhere)



keeping secrets
(lips sealed til death)



bobbing for apples
(hungry and blindfolded)



playing in shadows
(creating mysterious shapes)



in between moments
(in crinkled sheets)

deborah turbeville

I'm feeling a bit off today but inspired nonetheless by the photography of Deborah Turbeville. I love it in all its dark beauty, and wish I could see her work in person.

If I could somehow snag a flight to London for the night it would be possible, as one of the Donna Karan London stores is hosting an exhibition that just opened a few days ago. Oh well. A girl can dream, can't she? I suppose I'll just wait until October when Rizzoli releases Deborah Turbeville: The Fashion Pictures, a collection of her photography over the years.

bits of love

wrapped in the arms of nature
(ever so snugly)



dreamy double-takes
(and illusions of more than actually is)



creating stories
(of indiscernible shadows)

modern collodion

It's always been the detailed modernity of aged wet plate photos that struck me. However with these images, it's quite the contrary. Knowing they were taken just last year yet possess the antiquated beauty of Civil War era photography makes me thankful there is still a world out there with film, albumen paper and the like. How inspiring are these images by Angela and Ithyle? This design/photo/do what you will duo could very well be a new favorite of mine.

bits of love

And what is on my mind. By the photos I love. Through my brief musings. Can you tell me?









wishing this were you

(thinking of me)







everyday moments

(the object of my desire)







life with you

(fading, falling at the edges, never)







carelessly there, waiting

(amongst branches and twigs and other ephemera)







and yes

(i'm still here, please don't let me go)

bits of love

Can you tell I'm ready to get this travel show on the road? Just three short weeks...Three. Short. Weeks.



shading the sunlight
(in hopes of easing squinty face)



tracing maps, wearing pretty dresses and winding locks of hair
(though maybe or maybe not in that order)




dreaming in color
(airplanes and all)



hiding behind cameras
(hearing the calming click of the shutter)



finding the perfect reading
(for a road soon to be traveled)

bits of love

lazing around on gloomy days
(with clothes half off)



using my fingers while reading
(my perfect memorization tool)



picking the last berries of summer
(savoring every last bite)



slicing up potatoes
(and stamping everything in sight)



morning stretches
(tangled in sheets)

bits of love

playing with flowers
(especially in my hair)



following the tracks
(even when they seem endless)



and again...playing with flowers
(i suppose always)



staring through stark branches
(past the signs of fall)



visiting greenhouses
(and wishing they were my own)
