"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."

Good afternoon Mariana
how do I know you love black white photographs. This one pleases me very well. The colorful little pollen in the middle of the white flowers look fantastic and enliven the whole picture. I wish you a lovely peaceful Sunday. Dear greetings Christel
