{Ignite March, Dreaming of Dancing}

26 March 2012

"Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another."

We were in the bedroom. Earlier in the afternoon, I bought this dress for Jo so I asked her to try it on. She was thrilled and pretended she was a flower girl. I let her wear the dress for a while. I was folding some clothes and spotted her climbing up a window and pretended she was in a dance show. Good thing I had my camera nearby, too bad the pic is out of focus :) But I decided to keep it anyway...

Please continue the circle to see amazing work of other talented photographers, starting with Alison Crane.

{Photographer Feature: Marianna Di Ferdinando}

22 March 2012

When I first saw Marianna's collection of pictures on her Flickr stream, I had to pick my jaw from the floor.

I've seen many photographers who are doing selfie. All of them are pretty but Marianna's work is truly different and eye catching! I love how she uses the blur effect on her pics, the way she incorporates textures into her work (scratchy but so pretty and artsy), how she interprets her idea, and the whimsy feeling her pictures convey. I took a look at some of her previous work and I love to see how she continues to evolve.

I had the opportunity to get to know her a little better through an interview that I did for Divas and Dreams Mini Magazine (make sure you subscribe! Lots of prettiness and lovely inspiration there!).

I feel that her pictures are honest. She said that she is a chocoholic and a nutella lover and she is not shy to admit that. LOL

I love her hair and freckles...I really think it goes along very well with her care free spirit.

She shared with me that doing a self-portrait is an intimate moment with yourself, a unique opportunity to discover you and meet you.

She said that photography for her is like yoga. It is like breathing, it is life. When I asked her how would she define her style, she simply said, "I don´t like to define myself because that limits me. Years of work have led me to find the style that I have at the moment but this may change over the years as I am an adventurer and I love to try different things." (Oh I just love her care free spirit!). I love how her creative flair transforms simple ideas into arts.

"Do things from the bottom of your heart, with all your soul and with all your desire, is the best way to enjoy the process!" ~Marianna Di Ferdinando~

Isn't she inspiring? Read the rest of the interview in Divas and Dreams: The Inside Scoop. Follow Marianna's work through her Facebook page, Flickr, or you can actually buy her work from her Society6 shop.

{Hello Spring}

20 March 2012

Hello, Spring! So glad to see you...

We went to a friend's house on Sunday to have lunch and to say goodbye because he is moving to Arkansas. I am so sad that some of my close friends have moved to other States and country but at the same time I am also happy for them because they move on to a bigger and better thing.

On a side note, Jo had a blast playing with Duke, the little cute dog that my friend has. It was so funny to see how scared Jo was but how excited Duke was that he peed frequently. LOL. At the end of the day, they truly enjoyed each other company. It was so lovely seeing how a friendship could grow is such a short of time.

We took an afternoon walk at Prospect Park afterwards and we really enjoyed staring at the ducks and swans, blossoming buds, and warm sun.

.The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. ~Richard Bach~

{Bubble Obsession}

Call me a kid, but bubbles make me happy. So, yes...I am a little obsessed with them. :)

It's sunny and warm here. Hope your weekend is warm, happy, and sunny too.
