I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

    while most birds are (in my experience) jittery in front of a camera and usually take flight by the time the shutter opens after the first shot, i somehow imagine that peacook to have stood still and posed, thinking why yes, i am fabulous~

    …now that was random. sorry! lovely pictures as always :)

    That’s EXACTLY what I thought – it just stood there saying YEH I KNOW I’M PRETTY, you should do something about those grey and black birds, they eatin all my food.

    Gorgeous photos and that Yesstyle dress is lovely! I am constantly surprised by the quality of clothes from Korean sites–but also perpetually confused by the lack of English care tags. I once bought a dress without ANY tags! How black market is that?

    Ay thank you! Actually these were taken with my Canon 5D, but you dunno how happy it made me to hear that it seems analog, it’s sometimes so hard to make digital look more organic! Barcelona must be lovely, jealous for the weather you’re having! xx

    Oooooooh I feel so bad saying this but sometimes when I see a peacock all i want to do is sit on its tail and pluck all its beautiful tail feathers! I know, i know…..I won’t!

    So how do you make shots of plants being plants interesting? Huh? Tell me!

    Cute post, I like the pleated dress… a LOT.

    p.s I have this distant memory of a girl I once knew who went to Poland and never came back (well took a mega long time to) … just saying!

    The photos you take in Poland are amazing! I live in Warsaw and I don’t see very often such lovely photos of my city. You make it look so romantic and misterious, so beautiful. And I love the fact that you promote Poland, its interesting places, buildings, shops. Great job! :)

    Also Sputnik Sweetheart was the very first Murakami book I ever read!

    These images are beautiful. Oddly, there is a handful of peacocks that roam around where I live. I don’t know how this came to be, seeing as I live in rural Ohio.
