OK, now my search history is a little messy. I had to go review Helmut Newton's shots to examine his shadow work.

I think you did a damn fine job with your shadows. AND ... Unlike Helmut, you managed to find a stunning model who wouldn't charge an arm and a leg for her photo-shooting fee. ;-)

I really like your selfportraits! ..it is indeed a very nice present to yourself:) and I enjoy seeing how you leave so much grain(would you say it like that? i dont know, but you know what i mean?) in the last photos!

Yes you said it right and I looove grain so I add it like crazy sometimes. All these photod have added grain but the last one has the most because I thought it would work well with the out of focus shot :)

Thank you!

No I don't speak Italian. I used a translator thing online Haha. I just was wondering if it would make sense translated back and forth. 😎 Italian seems like a much better language to talk about art - and beauty - with.

Yes for sure it is, if one could understand it 😁

This might seem weird but I think I might like not understanding it. So much of what art critics and people say about art, photography etc. is just irritating. Not all of it and I do love some of what I find out.

Well, it doesn’t matter what language people speak, most are irritating anyways 😂😅

One of the weirdest things is the artist talking about their work and then the critics pov. I saw a documentary on Yves Saint Laurent and to hear him talk about his work was an eye opener. He was certain it was all crap and would fail miserably and after every big show he was done. Over. Finished. That's it there's nothing more. He was sooooo French. Chain smoking those Gauloise cigs... In some ways he was so vulnerable and even fragile. The difference between him the artist and the business people was glaringly obvious.

Did you know I'm Canadian? Yep! So I must apologise for being so annoying. Apologising and being "nice" It's a Canadian thing we do. People often mistake it for weakness... I admit it's a confusing trait that makes it hard for me to write in a sense. So I will try to shut up and stop pestering 🤣
