I admire the studio artists using photo who can make the figure work so it is art and not a<br />

forced posed fabrication such as Alina Noir can.<br />

I prefer my flowers in the wild, blowing in the wind, probably too shy to ask them to disrobe,<br />

and enjoying the mystery and the element <strong>of</strong> trace in a hidden glance or a footprint in the sand.<br />

I admire Jeannette Sarpola's architecture and New York city life but I am not so into geometry.<br />

I prefer organic and s<strong>of</strong>t shapes bundled with the expression <strong>of</strong> emotion that speak for<br />

themselves.<br />

same colour as the cigarette smoke she inhales constantly. She said her cancer is back with a<br />

look I see <strong>of</strong>ten on terminal patients faces, <strong>of</strong> fear and resignation.<br />

It's a look I see <strong>of</strong>ten on the street and in c<strong>of</strong>fee shops behind forced smiles and congeniality. It<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten finds it's way into my camera.
