"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."

Reminds me of my mother's favourite catchphrase... "things aren't what they used to be" while she has a whistful look in her eye, and then switches channel on the flat screen tv ;o)

Je me pose souvent la question, la vie était-elle plus dure avant que maintenant ?
Joli retour sur un passé pas si lointain et qui je suis sûre existe encore quelque part...
Un traitement sépia qui lui va ravir.
Bonne journée

Christel from Köln, Germany

Good afternoon Mariana,
again very interesting. I've seen on these Amish people, several feature films on TV. It's very interesting how they live. Everything is very simple and equal. I think that these people are very satisfied with your life and that others should accept it. I want peace for the whole world. Take care of yourself. Dear greetings Christel
