“There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass.” (Charles Kuralt)
“Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream .[...]”

“[...]I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?[...]”
“[...] Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Oh, I love it. The clothes, the location, the lighting, the sepia color of the pictures… simply gorgeous!
In this one, the way you put this beautiful shot of the city at night next to the model with eyes closed is really ‘poetic’. :)
Amazing photoshoot ?
proof that u and roxana are getting better and better. it took me down 3 pictures to recognize ro and realize that they werent magazine scans
Very romantic.
The look on her face is so sad and very in keeping with the mood of the pictures.
Wish you could come to Bucharest for the Fashion East Fair. We’d have so much fun there. The organizers promised some hot young designers from Timisoara, are u one of them, I wonder?? That would make my week!!
Anyhow, I’ll try and post photos from the event on Saturday evening. Maybe next time you’ll be joining all us thrifters and vintage lovers here in the capital for a good shopping spree and a great hot chocolate!
